In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, players encounter critical decisions that affect their gameplay experience. One notable aspect is the preceding mission—Wishful Thinking—which can alter the storyline based on player choices.
The main mission titled “Just Like the Good Old Days”will commence once players complete either “To the Last Drop of Blood”or “Law and Order.”Both paths culminate in the need for players to escape from the SIRCAA facility.
Engage with Professor Lodochka on Wild Island in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Your journey begins by heading to the mission marker located on Wild Island, where you’ll find Professor Lodochka at Quite’s Camp. Upon arrival, players must first tackle a more immediate task: eliminating a group of mercenaries in the vicinity. Fortunately, these foes will be indicated on your mission map, simplifying the search and engagement process.
Equipping yourself with quality gear is advisable, as various adversaries will pose a threat during this mission. Successfully defeating these enemies will provide you with a mission marker to guide you to Lodochka. Moreover, an optional objective will appear, tasking you with activating the Ventilation System.
Activate the Ventilation System
To complete the optional objective, open your map to locate the marked points. One point directs you to a fuse located nearby. After retrieving the fuse, consult your map again to identify a location to access the engineering rooms. Be prepared for confrontation with an invisible enemy lurking in the area.
Once inside the shelter, navigate the passageways leading to the Engine Room. Here, you can utilize the fuse previously collected to restore power to the Ventilation System, allowing you to progress in your mission. Note that while completing this optional task does not provide any visual rewards, it will significantly ease the difficulty of the ensuing challenges.
Locate the Source of the Signal in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Ahead of the next objective, equipping yourself with robust weapons is highly recommended, as tasks may escalate in difficulty. Navigate to the designated marked area and discover a cave entrance near the water. Progress through the cavern by heading west, descending downwards through a series of obstacles until you find a broken pipe leading to higher cave levels.
Make your way towards the marked destination to uncover a prominent cone-shaped spire. You will find the Emitter at this location. As you exit, be wary of an invisible enemy once more. Make your way back to Lodochka to conclude this mission. Upon completing this task, you will transition to the next pivotal mission, “Hornet’s Nest.”
