Hard Awakening in Stalker 2

After the events of the prologue, Skif will find himself in a rather unpleasant situation. Without a detector and most of his equipment, the protagonist will have to follow the trail of a certain Solder to get his things back. On this page of the guide, we will tell you how to complete the quest "Hard Awakening" and get to the first settlement, Zalesye.

How to deactivate anomalies?

The quest will begin immediately after the prologue and the title screen with the name of the game. Skif will wake up in the middle of a field surrounded by dangerous gravitational anomalies. A certain Richter will come to the rescue, who will give you a metal bolt. You can select it in the equipment wheel or by pressing the "6" key.

Metal bolts are used to detect and temporarily neutralize anomalies. Throw them in front of you to activate anomalies from a safe distance and temporarily deactivate them. The safe time interval lasts only a few seconds, so you need to run quickly before the anomaly is restored.

Skiff has an infinite supply of bolts, so you can throw as many as you want. Use the bolts to escape the anomaly field. After that, talk to Richter, who is standing on a hill nearby. He will direct you to the nearest stalker settlement - Zalesye.

Before heading to the shelter, search the surrounding buildings and stock up on supplies. The attackers from the prologue deprived you of all equipment except for the pistol.

Now head northeast, to the village. Walking along the road, you will come across a group of three bandits who are terrorizing a stalker holed up in a house. Take advantage of the chaos and attack the attackers. Search the corpses. You can also talk to the stalker in the building. He will thank you for your help and offer an additional side quest.

After completing this quest, continue your way to the settlement. We recommend sticking to the main road. The probability of encountering dangers along the main roads is somewhat lower.

Enter the bar (the green building in the central part of the settlement). There you will witness a tense conversation between Batya and Captain Zotov from Varta. After its completion, the quest itself will end.
