Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – End Explanation

Warning: The main destructor of death 2: Follow on the beach

Hideo Kojima brings us back to a world of porters, BTS, BBS, Void, etc. With Death Stranding 2: Release on the Beach. As you imagine, it's a story full of complex terms, philosophical concepts, metaphysics, etc., but we're here to help you understand it all.

So whether you're completing the sequel and need help understanding the full story of the finale or just want to see how Hideo Kojima's latest adventure unfolds, here's our full ending interpreted as Death 2: On the Beach.

Setting up the scene

11 months after the first death stranding incident, the death stayed twice to catch the ball. Sam Porter Bridges attempted to live quietly with his daughter as the former U.S. fictional associate and its new company, Drawbridge, reappeared with the apocalyptic rebuilding, defeating terrorist leader Higgs and preventing his sister Amily from destroying the world. But the idea quickly stopped when the current accomplice vulnerable and its new company, Drawbridge, reappeared, when she asked Sam to drive south and send Mexico back to the grid.

After connecting Mexico to the chiral network, it was discovered that connecting one country together seemed to open the panel door (a huge portal) with other continents. This is crucial because after the events of death barriers, civilizations are still largely separated from each other, and the gates to the plate will greatly help make the earth interconnected society again.

However, when Sam completes his Mexican mission, the tragedy attacks occurred when a mysterious armed group invades Sam's home, kills Lou's home, hurts the vulnerable, and puts Sam into a spiral of depression due to the loss of his child. Lost property, he agreed to join the DHV Magellan, the crew member of the DHV and its ship, to perform the mission to connect Australia, which is the destination of the Mexican plate gate.

Who is the armed red attacker?

Knowing who attacked Lou and Fragility is the first step to understanding death in trouble 2. The Red Group is a 3D printed by Rebirth Higgs, who committed suicide on his beach after the incident of the first game, but returned, another gorgeous mercenary robot, revenge and vulnerability on Sam. That's why he attacked her and Lou.

But Higgs is not just a person to be reborn. His soul was revived thanks to an entity called APA, a private company that manages automated delivery robots to deliver packages around UCA. Their goal was to connect Mexico and later Australia to the chiral network to open more plate doors and eventually connect the entire world.

But behind the scenes, the APA is actually operated by an informed entity called APAS 4000, a convergence of the APAS AI system that manages the delivered people and 4,000 human souls, of whom are killed on a massive ineffective basis. Their ultimate goal is to elevate all humans to the soul, prevent human development, but to trap them in the world of the dead, in order to prevent them from triggering another kind of ineffectiveness again. A kindness, but ultimately misleading attempt to curb humanity’s attempt to explore the world again and connect with each other. It will ensure the safety of the Earth’s population, but pay for what makes them human, in the shape of a savior to turn people further into digital entities.

How Sam beats APA 4000

In a cat and mouse game, APAS 4000 believes that it is using SAM to further move the human target from the shelter. But behind the scenes, the fragile suspension bridge knows the plan and is working to stop the APAS4000. The fragile and suspension bridge benefactors were eventually revealed as former UCA's former president, diehards, DHV Magellan's crew and DHV Magellan's crew actually used the new Q-Pid to connect various settlements in Australia. The device will cut off the connection between the world of life and the dead and expand, since it is an entity composed of the souls of the dead, it will cut off the connection between the APA 4000 and the world.

By fully connecting Australia with the new Q-PID, the APA 4000 separates itself from the life world, and its plan to capture humanity failed.

Wait, but what about Higgs?

While Higgs may have been brought back by APA 4000 in an attempt to push its plans, Higgs are by no means Lackey. Instead, Higgs used his newly discovered robotic mechanism to execute a separate, more personalized revenge program. It was he who attacked Vulnerable and Lou when Sam was busy reconnecting Mexico, and eventually revealed that Higgs planned to complete the beginning of his first game of death mud and achieve the end of the world with the “The Last Twisted Line.”

Although in the first game, Higgs attempted to trigger the Earth End Event with an Extinction Entity called Amily, this time he tried to use Tomorrow tomorrow, a young woman recovered from the world of the dead, possessing mysterious powers that allowed her to use tar to accelerate decay. By using tomorrow as an extinct entity, Higgs’ plan is to kill Sam and vulnerable for human life once and for all. Sam manages to beat Higgs and ends up ending his apocalyptic fantasy with a duel with a samurai sword, electric guitar battle and good fashion boxing battles, and Higgs does succeed in completing one of his goals…

Fragile death

For most of Death 2, we think that Flagil survived the attack by Higgs, but Lou died. In fact, the vulnerable uses her interdimensional heritability to send Lou to the world of the dead, while the vulnerable is the one killed by Higgs. As time swells and the difference between life and death is stuck in the world of death, Sam and DHV Magellan's crew have been traveling through the whole game, actually fragile souls, who stays for the time being to help Sam and crew defeat Higgs, stop apas 4000, and reconnect the world.

Unfortunately, her time in the life world is only temporary, and she died at the end of the game. But what about Lou?

BB-28/Lou/Tomorrow/Louise

It turns out that Higgs survived the attack in Mexico, as the vulnerable force used her power to send Lou to another beach, which is actually another dimension. Lou is sent away by the vulnerable and grows up in the world of the dead embodied by soldier Neil Vanna (more will be later). Years later, Sam Porter Bridges will eventually fight Neil and accidentally rescue tomorrow's Lou.

Yes, tomorrow is actually the same child that emits fragility at the beginning of the game. Louise's Lou is also the BB-28 that Sam travels through UCA during death stranding, and not only that, she is actually Sam's biological daughter.

Neil, Sam and Lucy Triangle

OK, now we explain the final puzzle of tying all Death Stranding 2 together. As a result, Louise survived Higgs' initial attack in Mexico and grew up to be tomorrow. But why did Higgs want Lou first?

That's because decades ago, I should remind you that Sam was a repatriator – the one who could resurrect himself due to the impact of death stranding – had a relationship with a therapist named Lucy. Around this time, Lucy saw another patient, a man named Neil Vana, a smuggler working for the bridge, who once provided illegally acquired brain-dead pregnant women whose stillborn babies would become the first ones. Neil feels introvert and seeks Lucy's help, and it turns out that they save Neil when they are all kids from the same village who are attacked by BT in the same village.

Neil has been reunited over the years and Neil reestablished his relationship with Lucy, despite Lucy’s relationship with Sam at the time. Despite Neil and Lucy's close relationship, Lucy chose to be with Sam, who together conceived a child.

Unfortunately, a baby born to a repatriate like Sam is of great value to the bridge and they are still using BBS for their original experiments. Once they discovered Lucy was pregnant, Bridges tried to take the baby away from her.

To protect the unborn baby Louise, Lucy convinces Neil to pretend to be the father of the child, making the baby less valuable to the bridge. They will escape the city and bridge with the baby, but sadly Neil and Lucy are both killed, but will not go that far before Louise takes off from Lucy's dying body, thus saving the baby.

Louise became a BB-28, but thankfully, Sam's adoptive mother and U.S. President Bridget Strand have covered her hiding long enough to reunite with Sam decades later in the event of the original death stranding.

As for Neil, the last item of his revenge on the bridge was to necrotize his body, thus creating a blank and destroying the city and its everyone. Meanwhile, Neil's soul wandered and could not find peace. Similar to Mads Mikkelsen's cliff in the first match, Neil's hired soul haunts Sam until the two face off in a doomed duel that ultimately seals Neil's peace with Sam and Lucy.

In the post-loan scenario, will we fall into death 3?

But this is not the end of revelation. Yes, Death Chain 2 does have a post-credit scene, which features tomorrow's adult/Louise wearing full porter gear and inheriting the fragile second set of hands and her smoking habit. She faced a panel, perhaps showing that she would follow her father’s footsteps and attempted to connect another new world to the chiral network. For example, Death in Trouble 3 can let us go to Europe, Asia or Africa? Can we play like tomorrow in the sequel? We certainly wouldn't refuse to play with her unique tar martial arts skills.
