Detailed map | The Dark Valley STALKER Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

DETAILED MAP OF THIS ZONE - NPC's & IMPORTANT PLACES:

Important NPC characters (red color):

1 - Bullet - He is one of the Duty organization soldiers. You will have an opportunity to help him in saving one of his friends. Once this is done, Bullet will go back to the main campsite, however it will take him some time to get there.

2 - Roma Death - He is also working for Duty and he's the man you will have to rescue from the bandits. This is tied to one of the main quests of this location. This quest has been described in my guide. Roma will also head back to Bullet's campsite.

3 - Dutyer - You would have to rescue this man from the main base of the bandits, however there's an annoying bug concerning this quest. As a result, he will probably kill the bandits on his own, so you won't have to worry about saving him.

4 - Edik Operator - Edik can be found near the southern farm. There are also other soldiers in that area. You will have an opportunity to talk to him in order to purchase gun. Sadly, he will trick you. As a result, you may as well ignore exploring this particular area of the map.

Important places (green color):

1 - There's a small campsite here. You will come across Bullet. You're going to need to cooperate with this soldier if you plan on finishing one of the main quests of The Dark Valley sector. As a result, don't even think about killing him.

2 - You will come across a destroyed SUV - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

2 - You will come across a destroyed SUV. The vehicle is surrounded by dangerous anomalies, however you could consider getting closer to it. You will find one of the stashes here, however if you don't have it on your map, don't even bother going here.

3 - There are a lot of precious artefacts in this area and it's going to be very easy to pick them up. You will also find other valuable objects in the area.

4 - This is a large and highly polluted lake - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

4 - This is a large and highly polluted lake. I wouldn't recommend going towards the northern side, because that's a highly radioactive zone. Instead, stick close to the southern part of the lake. You should be able to find several artifacts here. Pick them up.

5 - This road leads straight to the southern farm - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

5 - This road leads straight to the southern farm. Sadly, you are going to be attacked by dangerous wild animals here, so you will have to be extremely careful. If you plan on going to the farm, choosing the western road (near the edge of the map) is going to be much safer.

6 - You can find these buildings to the north of the lab complex - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

6 - You can find these buildings to the north of the lab complex. There are some artifacts here, however you must be very careful. You will come across a lot of radioactive zones and anomalies here. You could try and climb to a large construction. You will find a guitar there (among other things). :-)

7 - The southern farm - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

7 - The southern farm. You will come across a group of Stalker soldiers. Start off by talking to Edik. He will offer you a Gauss Gun for a very interesting price. Sadly, it turns out that he was only kidding and he will take your money. It won't be a huge financial disaster, however you might consider killing him and his colleagues, especially if you have more grenades or a gun with a scope at your disposal. Once the battle is over, make sure to check bodies of fallen enemy soldiers. You will collect ammo and medical supplies.

8 - This is the destroyed lab complex - Detailed map - The Dark Valley - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Game Guide and Walkthrough

8 - This is the destroyed lab complex. You will have to enter this area if you plan on going to X18 laboratory, however you could also clear out this base much earlier. You would have to enter the complex and turn left. There's a large warehouse there and you must enter it. There are at least ten enemy soldiers in the vicinity, so be careful and take them out one at a time. You should also consider exploring all rooms. You will find a rocket launcher in one of the upper rooms. I would recommend taking this object to Cordon or Bar in order to sell it. Remember, though, that the rocket launcher is quite heavy.

9 - This is the main base of the bandits. You will have to explore it in order to finish up with one of the most important quests of this map. You should also consider taking a closer look at the surrounding areas of the base, especially since these regions aren't guarded by anyone. Be careful, though. There are some wild animals in the eastern part of the map.
