Just like Metro 2033, there is a different ending that can be achieved by taking some right decisions throughout Metro: Last Light. There will be some decisions that you must make, in some you will have a choice while some will be hidden, and you have to find them.
During the when you perform a certain type of action, your screen will dazzle for a while followed by a short sound indicating that you have done the right thing. One more thing that you must keep in mind is that you can’t kill ANY soldiers. Yes, that is very important.
Well, it certainly isn’t an easy task to complete, but our guide below will surely help you out in some ways. While both endings have different story and results, it is recommended that you complete both as to get most out of the game.
That will add richness to the game in certain ways. Underneath are given the places and inventory items that will bring about those dazzling screen flashes, and you will make your way towards the different ending.
There are other things that bring forth those decisions/choices but those aren’t missable. For more help on Metro: Last Light, read our Diary Pages Locations, Musical Instruments Locations and Visions Guide.
