Of course, as we mentioned in our explanation of the story, Knoth also saw the baby, but this could easily have been a shared hallucination due to prolonged exposure to the mind-altering waves of the radio tower that was supposedly setup by Murkoff Corp. It’s possible that Lynn was in a much stronger mental state, as she was several hundred feet below ground, which would have kept the microwave signals from reaching her as much. As we mentioned above, Lynn says “there’s nothing there” just before she dies, which leads many to believe that she was talking about the baby that Blake believe he had just delivered.

It’s unclear what happens to the baby, if the baby was even real, or if it was just an illusion caused by the signals playing tricks on Blake’s mind. His part in Jessica’s suicide (the fact that he did not stay with her when she begged him to) has left him ridden with guilt for many years, and the microwave signals from the tower set up to control the minds of the people in Temple Gate have finally broken him.

Together, Blake and Jessica kneel, and Jessica says a short prayer, and the credits roll.īased on everything we’ve seen in Outlast 2, it would appear that Blake finally loses his mind and succumbs to the madness that has been eating away at him. Of course, everything we’ve included below is merely our interpretation of the information provided by the game, so if your opinion is different, be sure to let us know.Īs Blake walks away from Knoth and Lynn’s bodies, the world around him changes back to the school, and Jessica-with rope burns around her neck-leads him into the back room of the kitchen, where they used to fool around when they were kids. These final words have left a proverbial wrench in the gears of the story, and a lot of players are scratching their heads right now, wondering what the heck this ending means. After having the baby, Lynn says three final words to Ethan before dying, “there’s nothing there”. Together you escape, and she has the baby while a storm rages outside the old chapel in Temple Gate. But, after you survive the onslaught of crazy cultists, and even survive being crucified and buried alive, you find your wife Lynn, at the edge of the mines. We’ve already explained the story and given you our thoughts on everything that happens to Blake during his journey. If you haven’t beaten Outlast 2, and plan to play it at some point, do not continue beyond the image below.

It should be noted that there are some extreme spoilers in the following article. To help you out we’ve put together a detailed explanation of what we believe the Outlast 2 ending means. One question we’ve seen being asked quite a bit, though, is “what does the ending mean”. No matter what you think of the horror tropes used, or the lack of narrative, the game itself has a deeply embedded story hidden throughout the various documents and recordings in the game. One of the greatest parts of Outlast 2 is the way that the developers have left the story open to interpretation by every player who completes it.
