Metro Exodus - Caspian Level: Both Endings (Damir Stays or Leaves)

So I don't know why he stayed. I didn't kill any slaves and took on 😢 posts and did all the sneaky portions. So I'm confused

Wow glad I didn't get the good ending on this one

It SUUUUCKS

Edit: got good ending in Forest it sucks too

Best good endings
Bar non
bridge
Ending

this sucks I thought doing all the side quests will make him stay

Wow. I did everything I could to get Damir's stay ending, freed slaves, tried secondary missions. And when he said he would stay to fight i thought that was his good ending...I guess i was mistaken!

Bruh i saved all the slaves , didn't kill any tribal still damir chose to stay.

Dude I free the slaves and as far as I know took out all the strongholds but somehow got the bad ending? I love this game but hate it sometimes too

Thanks god I saved all the boys I really got attached to them ❤

wow... i literally scoured the map taking over their camps and freeing slaves.. even got the woman her damn picture but nope.. bad ending..

Damir staying with gul to fight for his fellow kazakh people is one of the most epic moments in the metro trilogy.

This is just my speculation but with enough slaves freed Damir would think those freed slaves would join Giul and with those numbers of slaves under her banner Giul would have no trouble liberate the land, that's why Damir will stick with us.

What ending did I got? I forgot

i don't like that they make good or bad ending, why not more good ending by different methods or senarios, it just makes me angry, i did my best, but still getting bad ending, there isn't an indicator to see what are you doing wrong morally, and how many stuff are you missing, and there isn't a way to go back either, i did lots of time sneaking, hiding at dark places and retiring saves, which i don't like, its an fps game i want to shoot and winning through that. they want me to watch every walkthrough videos before playing which ruins lot of joy, or starting all over again, hell no i don't have time for that.

I thought the good ending was where he stayed…

my first playthrough is bad ending which i didnt realise til now, glad Damir stayed with me and the crew

I keep accidentally getting the "good" ending (I can't say if this is really good or bad). I've just finished the caspian level, and got the good ending without meaning to. You can also imagine my shock when I got the achievement "Duke" and realized he actually could have died. I don't even know what I did to keep him alive lmao

I like this because at the end when Artyom goes to get everyone from the metro they can come back through here & pick up Damir

I thought him leaving was scripted, I didn't even know that each chapter has a unique ending until I saw this. I thought morality only impacted the ending of the game. Nice little touch. Artyom says in his journal that Damir might've fallen in love with Guil, compelling him to stay with her to help defend their people. How is that a bad ending? The send off was brilliant and is the best outcome for Damir. Game even says they'll all find their own place to settle down and call home, eventually disbanding all together. So Damir reaching this conclusion shouldn't be considered "bad". Although the good ending is still easily achievable either way. Seems like you have to get the good ending in 2 out of 3 chapters for the good final ending.

I shot every one who shot at me. I freed all the slaves. I got the picture. However, once they surrender, I never shoot. Also, I always choose to punch instead of knife when sneaking. Here's a tip, even in a firefight, you can run up to an enemy and melee (punch) him. That's an easy way to eliminate hostile, shooting enemies without having to kill them. I played on normal mode tho (Survival).

Dude i got the picture of Guil's mother, i went almost every area in the map also i only killed bandits. I saved slaves, and in the Baron's tower i saved 2 slaves too with punching bandits. But still i got bad ending. What did i wrong??? I think i did everything right.

This is fucking bullshit. Duke died in my playthrough before i looked up the requirements for the good ending. i freed the all the slaves i saw and didnt kill those that surrendered and even searched for that fucking picture for giul and this mf damir chose to stay. Which now means im going to get the bad ending for sure, the game is great but this hidden fucking honor system sucks

i think the bad ending could be the good one, i'm happy that he stayed with giul keep helping people

I liked Damir but I was happy he wanted to help his people.

He left in my playthrough , but i still got the good ending.

I took out all enemy strongholds, I freed slaves, I saved those two slaves getting beaten jesus christ what does this game want from me? My left nut too? Damien still left

Damir is the hardest for him to stay

Before I saw this I thought I did get the good ending, just seems more suitable

Personally he stayed for me but I feel it's for the best. Good on him

So that's Damir leaving! 👍

I got all three colleagues to stay + good ending on my initial game without knowing of the moral requirements! YES! 🎊🎉

I got good ending by just jacking around and shooting up anything that shot me

tbh next playthrough i'd like him to leave, this was such a strong moment. Him coming with us feels a bit unjust for his character.

i think damir staying with giul is the happy ending. they can be togather.

I got the photo for giul, I freed the slaves at big prison ship, I took out any slavers I came across and didn't kill a single slave. I came across a small camp with slavers too which I killed. Damir still stayed...the fuk?

i did everything on the map and more and got the bad ending?

believe it or not
i didn't kill anyone in Caspian level
even the guys from the ambush in the airfield

I never hurt the slaves and also explored many enemy strongholds and freed the ones at the ship, still lost Damir but still makes sense for him to stay tbh. He's with his people and has a love interest.

How to get good ending:

1- when going to the outpost where you first get the car spare Saul (the guy with the axe tryna kill you)

2- when driving to the lighthouse you will find a ship on land, knock the guards out and if you have to shoot a slaver,equip a suppressor

3- when you get to the lighthouse knock everyone out, don't kill anyone

4- when entering the spider bunker find Giuls picture

5- when exiting the bunker you will meet Anna at a safe house, she will give you 3 side quests, DO THEM and don't kill slaves, only slavers

6- when you go to steal water from the slavers with Damir, use the bucket lift, (saves a lot of trouble) and complete the mission stealthily

7- when you get to the final mission and sneak in through the sewers, DO NOT KILL OR PROVOKE SLAVES, they have guns and if they fight back you might as well start all over, BE STEALTHY

8- when you get to the barons tower and take the elevator up the will be a guy who says "I will teach you how to serve" and grabs a pipe, follow the guy in the dark room and knock him out, DONT KILL THE GUY

8- (if you followed all of the above, this is optional), when you save the first slave from baking beat the will be another one you can save (this slaver will be right in the open you can't miss him) knack the guy out and then run to meet the baron before getting shot at

Did you get the good CASPIAN ending? No? Your game is glitched pal

Not sure what difficulty I play on now but as an experienced metro player I chose a hard one. I try to avoid killing innocents but I am sure I shot a few people that surrendered and probably killed some slaves in combat at the tower in caspian too. Still got every good ending up to taiga. Maybe the harder difficulties allow some mistakes made.

I got the “bad” ending for this level and yet somehow got the “good” ending in general

I freed all the slaves I found, defeated all the strongholds, and didn’t kill a single slave and I still got the bad ending but I just saw the good ending and I like the “bad ending” better because I think it’s better for him to stay with his people. On the summer mission I was on the aroura and I tuned in to a frequency and he was talking to me

why me?

when you are atop, you see slaver shouting and beating bunch of slaves on alter where they are harvesting water. In order to get good ending towards Damier's fate, free up slaves that are at top left of the corner. you have to shoot the rusted lock and free them.

metros moral system and endings are weird, i honestly don’t even think it matters that much on how much you do on the map. you just have to do certain things and then you’ll get the good ending. i hate that, i don’t know why it can’t just be collecting points and then getting the good ending.

So he dies basically

it’s so infuriating i saved every single slave i came across (2 strongholds) never killed any slaves, killed plenty of bandits and i still get the “bad” ending

but the bad ending in this chapter is actually better ending like wtf

Didn't kill any slaves
Took down multiple enemy strongholds
Retrieved Giul's photo
Freed tons of slaves

Damir still leaves

Yea I always see him staying as the good ending as well

Giul is pretty hot. I would have stayed too.

damir joined me back but i dont see him in the train going to taiga ?? why???
