Some claim that it only unlocked after finding all of the collectibles. It’s honestly a bit confusing and players can’t seem to find a definitive answer.
#OUTLAST 2 EXPLAINED HOW TO#
Before getting into that though, everyone probably wants to know how to unlock this ending. And, after looking over the game, it turns out that this may be due to the fact that this is the true Jessica, that she wasn’t suicidal. She appears as pretty as she was when you guys used to sneak off to fool around. However, there is a second, alternate ending to Outlast 2 that follows all the same steps and motions, except Jessica is… normal. Her lips are purplish even though her smile is genuine, the burn from the rope makes her hard to look at and Blake’s guilt undoubtedly washes over him as they kneel down to pray for what we assume is the final time. Most players, including myself, entered the school’s kitchen area to find a young Jessica with a vicious bruise around her neck and the pale visage of a person who died by hanging. But there’s more to the ending outside of the mysterious birth (which we’re hoping Red Barrels eventually gives definitive answers to), there’s also Blake’s final vision of Jessica, his childhood friend. With everyone falling victim to the experiment, it’s possible that it was one huge, shared hallucination. This would help explain how Lynn went from perfectly healthy and decidedly not pregnant to giving birth in what appears to be only a matter of days in Outlast 2’s story.

In the past, Murkoff’s experiments led women to develop psychosomatic pregnancies that came across as quite real even though there was nothing there. When all is said and done, it’s difficult to decipher if there was ever any baby at all. It’s next to impossible to trust what Blake witnesses in the latter half of the game as his mind and memories are warped and he falls under the control of something else. This is after discovering all of the mind-control experiments that the Murkoff Corporation (who you may remember as being the people behind the nightmares of the first game) have been carrying out in the area. After fighting through the isolated, rural Arizona area, Blake’s wife gives birth to a baby before dying. Outlast 2 has a lot of things going on with its story and it all makes for one interesting ending, which is possibly one of the more confusing video game endings of the year thus far. How to Get the Alternate Ending in Outlast 2 MAJOR STORY SPOILERS AHEAD!
