How to unlock the Today never ends achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Definitive Guide

To unlock this, you need to make a few key decisions towards the end of the game.

As far as I know, your decisions and alliances prior to Subtle Matter don't affect the ending, but do alter the missions and objectives that you have to complete on the way. I'll explain what I did, though other players may get different results.

Subtle Matter (Burnt FOrest):
In Orbita Station, after the "Get Into the Pod" objective, watch the cutscene and you will be confronted by Scar upon exiting the pod. When prompted, select the "I need more time" option, then leave the complex.

Dangerous Liaisons (Malachite):
Just follow the objectives until you get to the Troposphere Comm Station. I had the ward pass, so used that to enter, rather than sneaking in. Keep going until you get the objective to "Activate the Control Panel". During the following cutscene, select the "Escape" option.

Now play the game as normal, completing the assigned missions and objectives.

For me, I had the following missions:
  • Escape From The Cage (Chemical Plant)
  • The Boundary (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
  • The Road to the Foundation (Chornobyl Anomalous Zone)
  • Down Below (Prypiat)
  • Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death (Generators)
  • The Eternal Shining (Generators)
These took me around 4-5 hours, then "Today Never Ends" unlocks upon completion of The Eternal Shining.

Subtle Matter (Burnt Forest):

As far as I know, your decisions and alliances prior to Subtle Matter don't affect the ending, but do alter the missions and objectives that you have to complete on the way.

To unlock the Today Never Ends achievement, you need to make the following decisions.

To target different endings, you'll need to make a manual save before each of these decision points. You can reload these to play the alternative paths after completion.

Now keep going through the remaining main story missions until you reach the end of the game, which should take around 2-3 hours to complete if you skip side quests, etc.

Today Never Ends should unlock during the final cutscene, though in some cases you may need to wait for the credits to start rolling, then skip to the main menu with the cn_start button.

Story-related but missable.

To unlock this one, you need to make a couple of different story decisions. As is the case with Brave new world (50G), you can plonk down a manual save before the “Subtle Matter” main mission in order to go back and achieve different endings.

In Orbita Station, when you are confronted by Scar, select the “I need more time” option if you have aligned yourself with the Ward, or the “Eternal Spring” option if you have aligned yourself with Spark. Then leave the station.

During the Dangerous Liaisons main mission, get into the Troposphere Comm Station and activate the control panel – which is the main objective – a cutscene will trigger. When prompted, select the “Escape” option.

From here, continue through the main story and play through to completion. During the final cutscene, the Today never ends achievement will unlock.
