Moral point tasks for the Redemption ending (Good ending)

By Crash

A list of all moral point tasks in the game, A lot of them are needed to unlock the "good" ending.

"Moral Points is a hidden system in Metro game series that follows Artyom's progress and affects the ending. This system is never explained to the player and its mechanics can only be speculated about. As Metro is about Artyom's journey of understanding the world around him, the game rewards the player by guiding Artyom through experiences that help him better understand the metro. It is commonly understood, that every time Artyom gets a moral point, the screen flashes light blue and whispers along with the sound of water dripping can be heard. When Artyom loses a moral point, the screen darkens and an ominous sound can be heard. There are more opportunities to gain moral points than to lose them, but many of them are hidden and require thorough exploration. "

@Peter_Void Yeah the AI is pretty bad in both metro games.

Peter_Void 25 Nov, 2023 @ 3:20pm

idk if my game is bugged or not but it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to go through the Train part without killing anyone and listening to all convos, the enemies are too dumb and get startled by literally anythink i do

Nyakuya 19 Sep, 2023 @ 9:10pm

Thank you for this detailed guide. It was very useful.

negative rizz 21 Aug, 2023 @ 1:26pm

I forgot to say that I killed absolutely all enemies at all levels

negative rizz 21 Aug, 2023 @ 1:23pm

You CAN kill Lesnitsky

. I killed him and got a good ending. I followed this guide exactly, listened to all the dialogues (from about 3-4 dialogues for the whole game there was no effect of getting points, which bothered me a little, I also missed about 3 rooms that I need to find to get a point)

Umbra 25 Jun, 2023 @ 6:46pm

is it true if i leave pavel with the souls i automatically get the bad ending?

Hariman 21 Jun, 2023 @ 1:27am

Thank you. I missed a decent number of early ones (prior to Revolution and Regina), but I should be able to get enough for the good ending.

Luckye 9 Jun, 2023 @ 12:25am

Great Guide!

Ethanol | Gamer 31 May, 2023 @ 1:52am

i got the good ending first try and i didn't even know it was THAT hard, i thought whenever the screen lit up it didn't give you anything

GMC 28 May, 2023 @ 10:15pm

And the following section (the last one for Regina) also has the sides swapped:

Still while pushing the metro cars forward, on the left side is a sewer area with several Watchmen. Reaching the end near the skeleton wearing a gas mask earns a point.

The sewer is on the right of the tunnel.
