Bandersnatch: Major ending 4 Stefan kills his father, Tuckersoft bankrupts Black Mirror Bandersnatch guide
Last update: 08 July 2021
This is a slight variation of ending 3. The main difference is that Colin won't survive to the end of the story. There are two paths leading to the same conclusion and we've described both of them. Path 1 has Colin dying relatively early in the story, path 2 has him dying close to the end of the movie.
Path 1 - Colin commits suicide
Colin will commit suicide after taking the drug in his apartement and asking him to jump. He will be mentioned in the final scene (as a missing person) during the report on Stefan's arrest and Tuckersoft's closure.
STEP | CHOICE DESCRIPTION | WHICH OPTION TO CHOOSE |
1 | Stefan can choose between Sugar Puffs and Frosties for breakfast. | Doesn't matter. |
2 | Stefan can choose what music he wants to listen to in the bus. | Doesn't matter. Different music is played during the movie. |
3 | Stefan receives a job offer from Mohan to work in the office. | Refuse |
4 | Stefan is asked by Dr. Haynes if he wants to talk about his mother. | Doesn't matter. Picking Yes triggers an additional flashback scene. If you choose No you will be forced to answer again - pick Yes or pick No for the second time. |
5 | Stefan can choose which vinyl he wants to buy at the store. | Doesn't matter. Different music is played during the movie. |
6 | Stefan gets angry at his father. | Shout at Dad |
7 | Stefan returns to the therapist's office and sees Colin. | Follow Colin |
8 | Stefan is being offered a drug by Colin. | Doesn't matter. Even if you pick No Colin will still spike Stefan's tea with the drug. |
9 | Stefan has to decide who jumps from the balcony and commits suicide. | Colin |
10 | Stefan gets stressed at the doctor's office and wants to trigger a reaction. | Doesn't matter. |
11 | Stefan is thinking what to do with the pills prescribed by the therapist. | Doesn't matter. Both options are about getting rid of them. |
12 | Stefan gets angry again after a failed attempt to compile the game. | Hit desk |
13 | Stefan watches the movie about the fate that's being dictated. | Pick up family photo. Picking up the book instead will eventually return you to the same path (step 12), because Stefan doesn't know the safe password yet. |
14 | Stefan is deciding how to destroy his work. | Doesn't matter. You won't be allowed to destroy the computer. |
15 | Stefan receives a strange message on the computer. | White Bear (the white icon from the option on the right). |
16 | Stefan struggles to establish what's real and thinks about killing his father. | Kill Dad |
17 | Stefan has to decide what to do with his father's body. | Bury body |
18 | Stefan is asked on the phone by Mohan if he can finish the game before the deadline. | Doesn't matter. Both options will lead to the same ending. Check steps 18A and 18B for more info. |
18A | [if you've said Yes on the phone] Kitty pays a visit to the office to ask Mohan what happened to Colin. | No additional choices to be made. |
18B | [if you've said No on the phone] Kitty visits Stefan at his home to ask him what happened to Colin | Doesn't matter. Both options (lying or telling her he jumped) lead to the same ending. |
Path 2 - Stefan kills Colin
Colin will be killed (pretty much voluntarily) after he visits Stefan at the end of the playthrough. Stefan will be arrested for both murders. Colin's death will be mentioned in the final video.
