DETAILED MAP OF THIS ZONE - QUESTS:

QUESTS:

1. Take radiation measurements

Quest giver: Professor Sakharov (Yantar)

Starting point: 1 on the map

What needs to be done:

a) talk to Professor Kruglov (1 on the map)

b) escort Professor Kruglov to the measurement sites (2 on the map)

c) return with the results to Sakharov (1 on the map)

Complete quest walkthrough:

First of all, you will have to talk to Kruglov. He should be standing on your left (#1). Once this is done, exit the bunker and start following him (#2). Be careful. Once you've left the compound, you will probably notice some new zombies in the area. I would recommend that you take care of this small problem quickly.

You will come across a new tunnel (#1). You will have to use it in order to reach the final destination. I would recommend that you stay in the front in order to protect the scientist. He will take measurements, however he will decide to enter the tunnel very soon. There are some zombie creatures inside (#2). Kill them from a larger distance.

The second group of zombie soldiers is standing near the exit from the tunnel (#1). Once you've dealt with this problem, start running towards your goal area (#2). I'm sure that you have already secured this campsite before, so you won't have to worry about Kruglov. Once again, he will take measurements.

Something rather unexpected is going to happen in just a few seconds. Our main character will lose consciousness. After that, a very interesting cut-scene should appear on your screen. You will have to wait for our hero to regain consciousness. Exit the bus and rejoin with Kruglov (#1). Now you will have to escort him back to the bunker (#2). You will be able to end this quest once he's inside. Kruglov will also talk to Sakharov. Wait for this conversation to end. Sakharov will grant with a psi-helmet. This object will allow you to enter X16 laboratory.

2. Get inside the lab

Received from: Profesor Sakharov (Yantar)

Starting point: 1 on the map

What needs to be done:

a) find and check Ghost's body (3 on the map)

b) find the entrance leading to X16 laboratory (4 on the map)

Complete quest walkthrough:

In order to locate Vasiliev's body, you will have to return to a destroyed helicopter (#1). Once again, you've probably secured this area before, so you won't have to worry about zombie characters. Vasiliev had an orange suit, so you shouldn't have any problems finding his corpse (#2). It's located to the right of the helicopter. Check it. As a result, you will be able to proceed with the second part of this mission.

Now you will have to go to the northern part of the map. Locate a large entrance which leads to the lab complex (#1). I'd strongly recommend that you save your current progress here, because the area is crawling with zombies and mutants (#2). It would be easy to kill them with a shotgun, however I wouldn't recommend exploring the entire area. Focus only on finding the entrance to the underground lab.

You will be able to reach the entrance if you'll be walking in a straight line (#1). Remember that you don't have to kill all monsters in order to succeed. Instead, try avoiding them, especially mutants. You will be able to reach your destination very soon (#2). Be careful, though. There are a few mutants here and you must kill them. Use the shotgun (if you have this weapon) to take them down.

Now you will have to enter a designated building. Head on to the staircase area. You will have to use the stairs to reach the lower level (#1). You will receive an information about a possibility of going to the laboratory. You won't have to explore the rest of this building, however you would be able to take an artifact from the upper floor (#2). This quest is going to end once you're at the laboratory (you will have to use the stairs to reach the ground floor).

3. Find out what happened to Ghost - part 2

Received from: this quest will begin automatically once you've collected a flash disk from Strelok's stash

Starting point: Agroprom Research Institute Sewers sector

What needs to be done:

a) find out what happened to Ghost (1 on the map)

Complete quest walkthrough:

You will be able to finish this mission once you've talked to Sakharov. He will grant with a second quest that involves getting inside the underground laboratory. Ghost's body can be found inside X16 lab. It's been described in the next section of my guide.

4. Get out of the lab - part 2

Received from: this quest started automatically during the exploration of X16 laboratory

Starting point: X16 sector

What needs to be done:

a) escape from the laboratory using a secret tunnel (5 on the map - this is the exit from the tunnel)

b) talk to Professor Sakharov once again (1 on the map)

Complete quest walkthrough:

This is the second part of the quest which started in the last room of the X16 sector. You will have to go through a very long tunnel. I'd strongly recommend that you choose a shotgun from your inventory, mostly because you're going to have to kill several mutants (#1). You will be encountering these creatures quite regularly. There are also zombie soldiers in the area. Make sure to check all bodies for ammo and medical supplies. Additionally, you will have to avoid a fire trap (#2). Once this is done, turn left and keep heading forward.

You will encounter more zombie creatures very soon. Once you've reached a small junction, choose a tunnel which is located on your right (#1). There are more mutants here for you to take care of (#2). Make sure to save your game after each fight. Once you've wasted all shotgun shells, switch to a machine gun. Remember to kill those monsters from a larger distance.

You will come across a long tunnel very soon. Be careful, because there's a huge mutant here (#1). You've already dealt with this type of a creature while exploring the X18 laboratory, so you should know that you will have to take it out from a larger distance. Using grenades is also a good idea. Once the monster is dead, locate a destroyed part of the grate (#2). You will have to make a jump to the other side. Use the ladder to exit the sewers. I'd strongly recommend that you save your progress here.

Ignore a military helicopter that will be flying over this entire sector. It won't attack you. Use the nearby stairs (#1). The objective here will be to jump over the fence. Once this is done, start running towards the bunker. You will have to talk to Professor Sakharov. As a result, you will end this quest. You should also consider trading with Sakharov. As you've probably noticed, new type of armor has appeared in his inventory - SEVA Suit (#2). This is a very powerful armor, so try buying it. You should have a lot of money, so it shouldn't be a problem. Sakharov will also grant you with a side mission, however you don't have to finish this task.
