In addition to my main role of creating shaders, textures, UV-ing, and vert blending, I also supported my partner on this level with detail modeling and set dressing the farmhouse.The Last of Us 2's ending is a hard pill to swallow. This is the ending level in The Last of Us: Part 2 that I worked on with my modeling partner, Reuben Shah. The Last of Us: Part 2 - Ending.

No, The Last of Us 2 has only one ending. With such a mysterious finale, there’s reason to question the well-being of Dina as well as her young. If you haven’t finished the game, turn back now.WARNING: Spoilers for The Last of Us: Part 2 below Dina was a new character introduced into The Last of Us franchise during The Last of Us: Part 2, and there remains a lot of questions as to what happened to her after the game’s ending.

But Naughty Dog didn’t want to do that- they had already done that, and doing more of the same was not a good enough reason to want to make a sequel for them.Instead, they decided to turn the tables and do something completely different, but in a way that felt true to the series. We all would have loved another Joel and Ellie story, another trek across the country that would have seen the bond between the two of them develop even further. The game's main story line is linear in 100.Naughty Dog’s willingness to take risks with The Last of Us Part 2’s story have been admirable. Also, TLoU2 doesn't have any hidden endings.

When she got to Nora in the hospital, she beat the woman, who was already dying because of heaving breathed spores, until she told her where Abby was. For starters, she lost Joel, of course, who was murdered in humiliating and devastating fashion right in front of her.Following that, over the course of her hate-driven quest in Seattle, she slowly lost her humanity bit by bit. Over the course of her journey, she has lost much that she held dear. Ellie’s quest for revenge leads her no place good- that place is rock bottom. These are things The Last of Us Part 2 is thoroughly committed to doing, to a degree that’s dragged the game into the centre of hotly debated (and so often vitriolic) conversations everywhere.This also means that each of its main characters are left in murky and ambiguous places by the time The Last of Us Part 2 comes to an end.

Unlike Ellie, Abby is willing to let things go, but even as she walks off, she tells Ellie very plainly that if she sees her again, she will kill her. After Abby beats Ellie within an inch of her life and is dangerously close to slitting a pregnant Dina’s throat, she is stopped by Lev. Jessie’s death is another heartbreaking one in a series full of them, but that, too, doesn’t deter Ellie in her quest for revenge.Well, it does for a time. When all of this is done and Abby comes to the theatre herself to kill Ellie for what she did to all of her friends – fittingly enough for a story that is all about the cycle of violence – she also kills Jessie, and almost kills Tommy. Then there’s Owen, who was not hostile toward Ellie at all, and hadn’t been even back in Jackson, and was shot dead because of his unwillingness to tell Ellie where Abby was.That’s not to mention the dozens, if not hundreds, of other people Ellie kills during the course of the entire game. Mel for very obvious reasons- she’s pregnant, which Ellie wasn’t aware of at the time she stabbed her, but that doesn’t undo her actions.

The Last Of Us 2 Ending How To Let Things

Even when Abby literally gnaws two of her fingers off her hand, Ellie chokes Abby and holds her head underwater, and comes extremely close to killing her, when something stops her.After all this time, perhaps its the overbearing weight of her actions that catches up to her, perhaps its the realization that her vengeance would be pointless and that nothing would make her feel better about Joel’s death, perhaps its the fact that she sees Abby protecting Lev the same way Joel used to protect Ellie- for whatever reason, Ellie decides to let Abby and Lev go.At the end, she returns to her house, where she sees that Dina and her baby have left. And this time, Ellie is able to overpower Abby, and she almost kills her. After she pulls Abby down, she insists of fighting her to the death, and even the the latter is reluctant to do so at first, after Ellie threatens to kill Lev, the two women do engage in a brutal brawl. They were clearly put through unspeakable horrors, and by the time Ellie reached them and made her way through the gang of bandits, she saw them both hanging off poles, exposed to the elements, starving, parched, within an inch of death.But if there’s one thing Ellie hasn’t learned by this point, it’s how to let things go- given that the thing she has to let go is Joel’s murder, maybe that’s not so hard to understand.

In fact, The Last of Us Part 2 co-director Kurt Margenau recently told Press-Start that the new start screen the game shows you once you’ve finished it is actually showing Abby and Lev’s boat on Catalina Island, suggesting that they did make it and manage to find the Fireflies.It’s clear from the way the stories for both Ellie and Abby end that there is a very real possibility that there will be another The Last of Us game. And though she spends months as a prisoner of the Rattlers, after Ellie lets her and Lev go, you’d think she heads straight to Catalina Island, where the Fireflies told her to meet up with her. But of course, Ellie is not the only protagonist of this story- there’s also Abby, who has her own journey, and things for whom are probably looking somewhat brighter at the end.Throughout The Last of Us Part 2, Abby’s storyline brings up the possibility of a return for the Fireflies, and towards the end when she finally manages to make contact with them at Santa Barbara, that is confirmed as fact. It leaves Ellie at rock bottom, and it puts her entire quest for revenge into question. She then puts the guitar down and leaves.Fittingly enough for a game as bleak as The Last of Us Part 2, it ends on a pretty sombre note.

Specifically, I’m referring to the fact that the Fireflies are back. For starters, the fates of both Ellie and Abby are left ambiguous in a way that makes it feel like their stories will continue.But more importantly, larger events seem to be setting up a sequel as well. Where the first game was a beautifully self-contained one that could have easily done without a sequel, Part 2 seems to very explicitly set up a sequel in more ways than one.

In fact, it would make a lot of sense to bring things full circle and have the story end with the Fireflies finally being able to make a cure thanks to an Ellie who’s looking not only for purpose, but also for redemption.I’m sure that’s going through Naughty Dog’s thought process as well- or at least I’m hoping it is. I would love for there to be redemption for Ellie, for a concluding chapter of her arc and this trilogy to tie off all the threads still left hanging, from the characters of Tommy, Ellie, Abby, Dina, and Lev, to the who Firefly arc. They know this time that Ellie is immune, and that through her they can make a cure that will help them bring order and stability back to the world, and it’s more than likely that that will play a massive role in Part 3.Where the common consensus with Part 1 was that its self-contained and conclusive story did not need a sequel, Part 2 actually seems like a game that would greatly benefit from one. And they have something they did not have before- they know how to get a cure.
