Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl introduces players to exciting side missions where they can earn valuable coupons by assisting various vendors in settlements. One of the standout vendors is Owl, who is found at the abandoned ship Sultansk in the Zaton region. He has a critical task for Skif, which involves locating the elusive Crown artifact for a VIP client. This mission boasts a generous reward of 10,000 coupons, making it a highly sought-after opportunity. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to complete the ‘Business with Owl’ side quest effectively.
Navigating the Business with Owl Side Quest in Stalker 2
To embark on the fill-a-VIP-order side quest, players should visit Owl at Sultansk in Zaton. Upon arrival, Owl will inform Skif about a request from an important client based outside the Perimeter. The urgency of this request is high, and the considerable reward means Skif must act quickly to secure his payment.
Finding the Crown Artifact
Once the quest is activated, your destination is the Swamps region, as indicated on the map. Players must trek south from Sultansk to retrieve the Crown artifact from a designated area. Given the distance, it’s advisable to stock up on energy drinks to sustain your stamina during the walk.
Navigating the Submerged Train Tracks
Upon reaching the artifact’s location, players will notice the absence of a bridge and submerged train tracks blocking the way to the island. However, this challenge can be overcome by leaping across the train carriages. After navigating the upper surface of the lake, you will find a slightly submerged metal path that provides a crossing to the island.
Obtaining the Crown Artifact and Returning to Owl
Once on the island, continue along the train tracks until you reach a scanner located at the far end. Here, you will interact with the scanner to retrieve the Crown artifact. Be prepared, as you may encounter hostile zombified soldiers during this process. Players can choose to confront them or bypass the confrontation by making a hasty retreat.
After successfully collecting the Crown, make your way back to Sultansk and present it to Owl. Your reward will be a whopping 10,000 coupons for fulfilling the VIP order in Stalker 2.
