Moral Points

Attention! Spoiler ahead! This article contains plot information that may spoil major story aspects for the reader. Read at your own risk!

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 or 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, and moral points that are gained and lost are speculated to vary in severity. Moral Points can be gained through making correct decisions, being stealthy in certain levels but also awarded for exploring every part of the map to get weapon and supplies.

There is no telling of how much Moral points are required to get the good ending, as the statistics are hidden; however, making wrong choices or go loud at the levels that requires stealth will not gain enough Moral points that triggers good ending.

Metro 2033

Artyom has not left Exhibition station since his childhood and does not know anything about the world outside VDNKh. If the player pokes around corners, eavesdrops dialogues and explores the levels Artyom learns how this new world works and manages to make a decision based on this knowledge. In other words he achieves a different Enlightened ending, as opposed to the Ranger one in which he blindly follows his orders.

Metro Last Light

Moral points have not changed from Metro 2033. This time around, Artyom is much more experienced, so moral points are earned based on whether or not he does the right thing. They are earned the same way as Metro 2033, i.e listening to certain dialogue, performing kind or merciful acts, finding certain hidden areas, etc. Sufficient moral points will unlock the Redemption ending, where Artyom earns forgiveness for his past, as opposed to the standard C'est la vie ending where Artyom sacrafices himself for the Metro.

List of Moral Points in Metro 2033

Note: In Metro 2033 Redux, some points are no longer available. Also, because of the inclusion of the knockout ability, points for not killing anyone can be obtained along with other points that involve taking out certain enemies. These points are incompatible in the original game.

Hunter

Gain:

• After coming up the stairs, talk to the guard that tells you another patrol was attacked after he sits down.(:"Many want to leave the station...")
• Talk to the people in line before the hospital.(:"Doctor hasn't said anything.")
• Talk to the guard that opens the door to the hospital after he sits down.(:"People want to see their relatives.")
• Walk under the light on the right in the first room of the hospital. In Metro Redux this point is moved to a corner accessible just before exiting the room. There is a torn fabric curtain on the right-hand side which you can walk through, leading to another torn fabric right in front of you. Walk through both these 'curtains' to find sick NPC characters and obtain the moral point.
• Take the postcard from Hunter.

Exhibition

Gain:

• Play the guitar in Artyom's room.
• Play the balalaika (triangle guitar) near the father and the child drawing on the floor.
• Approach the man and woman sitting in the general market area with a teddy bear between them. As soon as the woman stops talking, you'll be able to talk to the man. He'll tell you about his sick child and asks you for a few bullets. Give them to him. You will lose about 2 MGRs.
• Open the door to Alex's room, prompting his dialogue.
• Exhaust all of Alex's dialogue options.

Lose:

• Take the MGR from the hat next to the man playing the guitar.
• There are two men sitting on a table just right from the table with the drunk man who is being scolded by his wife. If you talk to them, they'll start talking about some business. If you talk to them again, it will count as interrupting their business and you will lose a moral point. Because you can't actively engage in conversations in Metro 2033 it's best you avoid that area or you might lose a point accidentally. There's nothing interesting there anyway.

Riga

Gain:

• Give a bullet to one of the beggars located all over the place. It is only effective once.
• Give a bullet to the kid to guide you to Bourbon. Note: Even if you have no MGR left but still enter the command to give him bullets, you will receive a moral point and the child will reluctantly guide you to Bourbon.

Lose:

• Find Bourbon without the kid. This only triggers once you find him, not if you initially refuse the kid.

Lost Tunnels

Gain:

• When Bourbon talks about strange sounds and pipes, crouch next to the pipe on the right side of the tunnel until you hear laughter.
• After listening to the pipes, go left into the room where the dead body with the Tihar lies. Going back and listening again to the pipes for some more seconds will hurt you and give you a moral point (same procedure as in "Khan"). Probably it´s just a bug, but offers a moral point.

Bridge

Gain:

• Get into the first train car you encounter by jumping on the box on the left side. Inside there will be a box you can open with some dolls. Just use one of them. (unavailable in Redux).

• Use the hookah in the bar (unavailable in Redux).
• Give a bullet to the beggar who tells the story to the kid in the market area after the kid leaves.

• During the vision of a playground when outside, as long as you don't move (you can look around)
• Also during the same vision if you take off your gas mask you will receive a moral point
• After the above vision you eventually enter a building and go down some stairs. At the end turn right and go all the way to the end and you'll find another secret cache.
• When you go out of the leftmost window of this building to proceed further, look right and down. There will be some wooden planks leading to a narrow path just above the water. Follow it to find a body.
• After you have the chance to kill the demon and enter the building leading to Dry. Take a right through the trap filled hallway and play the tape in the cache.

Lose:

• Run out or completely across, or open fire during the playground vision.
• Shoot the dark one sitting on the shed on the other side of the playground after the vision.
• Shooting the dark one looking at a dead stalker on the other side of a gate (where you find Bourbon in Dead City 2).
• Before you kill the demon sitting in the open if you take a hard right and enter the building on your left, you will lose a moral point if you kill the Watcher Mother.

Dry

Gain:

• Using the hookah to smoke within the crate maze on the left yields a moral point.
• Do not kill anyone at this level. (This will  most likely conflict with the above as the hookah is right next to a bandit)

Lose:

• Shooting Bourbon's dead body.

Ghosts

Gain:

• When Khan tells you about the singing pipes, crouch near them and wait till you hear laughter. Then move away, if you stay near the pipes for too long you will get hurt.
• When you reach the ghosts of the defenders, stay close behind Khan as you move through. You'll get the flash point on the other side when he mentions he was with them when they died.
• After you leave the tunnels, Khan will curse while in one of the rooms. In this room, there is a body hidden behind some barrels (look for the blood marks on the floor to find it easily)
• When the Anomaly music plays don't move and stay close to Khan for the whole anomaly process, you get two for this.
• Just after this, Khan will stress that you need to move on. Near where he says this is a junction turn left and around from where you came and you should see glowing mushrooms surrounding a dead end area turn right behind the barrels to find a body. you get the point for reaching the body.

Lose:

• Opening fire on ghosts.

Anomaly

Gain:

• Stop when Khan tells you to and don't move (you can look around) until he starts talking again.
• After moving a bit forward, you will hear a nosalis growl, then see the anomaly moving fast toward it in the adjacent tunnel. As soon as you hear the growl, stop and don't move until Khan starts talking.
• Before fighting the Nosalis, turn right down the tunnel to find a pile of bones and a moral point.
• After fighting off the nosalis and going through the railcar, Khan will turn left. Go straight instead and at the end you'll find human bones and another moral point.

Cursed

Gain:

• You get a point for showing up, and listening to Khan when he explains the situation.

Lose:

• Run away before Khan finishes talking.
• Any type of hostile action in the shrine (e.g. Even slashing the knife).

Front Line

Gain:

• Sneak up to the back of the train you fell out of upon the start of the level and finish listening to the communist leader's speech. After you get the point start backing away or they will spot you. It is recommended to put out the lamp leading up to the train on the left.
• In the dead end tunnel through which the player arrives at the start of the level, kill or avoid the patrolling Communists. On the right side of the tunnel there is a small red locker, pick up the MGR inside for a moral point.
• Just left from there go down the stairs and listen to two guards talking about the secret entrance to the enemy base.
• Kill the Commissar and the soldier executing a Communist "deserter".
• After the execution, the commissar will walk away and up the stairs, and the guard will follow soon after. Go up these stairs a bit to listen to a conversation about suicide bombers.
• Up the aforementioned stairs, go deeper into the tunnel and away from the commie barricade, past the two wounded men. On the right side of the tunnel there will be an open door. Go inside and all the way down until you reach a body with an automatic shotgun (unavailable in Redux).
• In the bottom of the front line, where Artyom must use the gas mask, there will be pile of wreckage bigger than any of the other piles with a buried body's protruding arm holding MGR, take rounds for a moral point. The arm holding the bullets is in the center of the pile.
• In the Nazi part of the level, downstairs there's a room containing a couple of guards and a Helsing spear gun. In one of the corners (near the manhole) there's a small red locker. Open it and collect the contained ammo to get a moral point. You will see a drawing inside. The sound of the door creaking also alerts the guards, making it practically impossible to get this point if you want to do the level completely stealthy.
• The last moral point is awarded for freeing the three captured Communists in the Nazi part of the map, in the area after the rail car. To free them you need to kill all the Nazis here except the one at the very end of the tunnel. You'll know it's done when their leader will stand up (The Nazi soldier will execute the leader if you wait too long when you get there). Talk to him. Killing the Nazis will prevent you from getting the stealth achievement for this level.
  • In Redux, the prisoners are now located at the red locker from the previous moral points. The Nazi can also be knocked out in Redux, making it possible to earn the final point for not killing anyone.
• Alternative: Complete the level without getting in a fight and you achieve a moral point (and the stealth achievement). The other side of the medal is that you can´t free the imprisoned communists and leave out the metal locker. In the Redux version, this point can be obtained if enemies are knocked out instead of being killed.

Lose:

• Kill wounded men lying near the staircase (behind the bridge post)
• Kill one or more of the captured Communists

• As you're leaving the first area of the station and crossing over to the area where you need to use the gas mask, look left. There will be stairs blocked by grating. Go through the door on the right and there will be another set of stairs with grating, but here the door will be open. Go up and then left over a makeshift bridge to find a lot of goodies and another moral point. (Unavailable in Redux)
• As you're leaving the station on the other side, instead of going right and into the tunnel go left and toward the music you've been hearing for a while. You'll find a body with a cassette player and the last moral point.

• While following the Little Dark One through the storm, Artyom will come across a Watchman kneeling over a skeleton. The Little Dark One will say he's simply afraid. Leaving him be will earn a point as soon as Artyom enters the next area.
• In the ruined sewer area, a group of three Watchmen will slowly approach, but again the Little Dark One says they won't attack unless provoked. Leaving them be will earn another point.
• In the same area, you can see a corpse down a hole. Reach it to gain another point, but taking too much time will cause the Watchmen to attack.
• Save Pavel from the damned souls. The Little Dark One will then remark that now he understands what forgiveness is.

Lose:

• Enter the St.Basil's Cathedral before the Watchmen go away.
• Shoot on mutants at St.Basil's Cathedral before they go away,
• Leaving Pavel with the damned souls causes you to lose a point. The Little Dark One will tell you that he will remember that you couldn't forgive (this will also unlock achievement Revenge).

The Garden

Gain:

• Near the beginning of the level, there is a path leading towards a hole in the right-hand wall, into a flooded store with can alarms and a safe. Entering this area earns a point.
• At the same split where you can reach the flooded store, you can also turn left, crossing a log and a flooded pipe. Right after the pipe will be a tripwire; disarm it or avoid it, then crouch ahead and you will receive a moral point.
• Do not engage any watchmen and just sprint to the small passage to next area where Artyom must crouch. A moral point will be gained when you enter this passage. Just after a moral point is added, you will see baby Bears.
• Kill the Watchmen attacking the Bear after the fight with Artyom. Do so quickly or they'll kill her (this will also unlock achievement Forest Guardian).

Lose:

• Leave the clearing without harming the Watchmen on the Bear's back.

Polis

None.

D6

Gain:

• One final point is awarded if the Baby Dark One prompts the Redemption ending.
