[peak nova]

[warm vale]

Done the same, after sircaa it'll notify you once round 4 is ready to obliterate you 😎 good luck and have fun

[peak nova]

dude lmao XD the whole time ive had the one mission to pregress the arena quest and did not even know lol

[acoustic swallow]

Anyone have a fix to the defense of zalissya?

[final pike]

xbox no - pc yes ; console commands

hoping the next update fixes it

[tranquil garnet]

You cad do a quest, but if you leave lesser zone zalissya will be destroyed. GSC created a ticket for this so wait to update.

[median goblet]

Soo got stuck with Zalyssia defence quest bcs monolith spawned inside safe zone(?). So my question is: is it possible to fix or do I need to wait for patch(when is it coming? its already tuesday)?

oh im blind

just saw previous messages

[main flume]

If they fix this in the upcoming patch I'll be so happy

[tranquil garnet]

me too

[tranquil garnet]

a just started looting and they get outside

you may need to try this a few times

and also after geting a quest they spawneg second time, but they get outside beacuse they were stalkers from first fight

you cad do this with no mods

but the village will be destroyed anyway if you leave the lesser zone

[pure mountain]

Do you know how to find coordinates?

I found this message; anyone has more coordinates?

[white vortex]

i probably should make a list of POI coordinates

[pure mountain]

Hell yeah mate, you should

[white vortex]

maybe I'll do it today in a few hours. i'm really tired after completing stalker

[pure mountain]

Dw take your time ❤️

[subtle zephyr]

I kind of want to be able to tell the CO of Icarus of the Ward guy who locked himself with a burer in the Railway depot.

[pure mountain]

Did you do the car side quest? It's obv a scam but you can't say it to the bandit

[karmic bough]

I did the 3 captains side quest. Sided with Beard and Sultan. Now I come back to skadovsk and the door is locked. How do I fix this?

[white vortex]

probably a mutant nearby

i remember coming to skadovsk, and there were two lowpoly bloodsuckers running out of the door lmao

[karmic bough]

This happened in call of pripyat that I remember. But I don't see any mutants around the area

[white vortex]

try reloading your savefile, it despawns them

[worthy minnow]

Hi, I think the Quest "Black Sheep" has a serious bug.

Staying loyal to the Malachite and not handing the flash drive to the warden caused a reputation loss with Malachite. Now all the trader symbols are red.

[spark halo]

Hi, same goes with the Quest "In the name of science" has a bug with not picking up the column / necklace thing... shiish maan

[turbid hawk]

hey guys

i cant save zalissya from the monolith

they are all inside doing pew pew sounds with their mouths

[prime zephyr]

Thank you!

[coral ice]

hey guys. Did anyone do the sidequest in the bloodsucker village with the guy singing the guitar?

[patent tree]

did the duty quest at cement factory also disappear for any1 else i went to explroe bit then came back and the quest at entrance was gone. i already stopped main quest at sircaa cuz it broken but now i also keep findin bunch of broken side quests yikes

releasing games in this state is kinda sad ngl

[obtuse iron]

Is anyone having issues with some side quests just not completing after doing all the objectives?

[late horizon]

has anyone killed monster in red forest for sherba ? that bish keeps killing me with telekinesis even thought its a stomper and not suppose to have telekinesis

[wet spruce]

should i kill beard and sultan? this lady is kinda pissing me off

[lean sail]

Im on arena part 4 but no matter how much i sleep it still says wait for the arena to become ready. Do i need to progress the story enough or something?

[mighty warren]

had monolithians stuck in the main hall before i could even recieve the quest, this fixed it for me, Thanks!

[shrewd escarp]

So im doing this "Shift Change" side quest near Noontide base and Jumper is dead but the quest is still there? Did i miss or do something wrong?

[vapid river]

Cannot get Sonya to provide three captains side quest, any clue how to get this to trigger. Finished both the quest for beard and sultan.

[severe acorn]

got a question regarding the Arena side quest in Rostok
It says that im waiting for the 4th round, and that i should wait an hour or so until it gets reset or available,

but i've slept multiple times by now and it still hasnt updated, is it bugged? or should i just continue through the main quest line for it to unlock the next fight?

[untold yacht]

No, just continue with the side quest as it was. My quest was bugged so I actually had to kill jumper in order to start the side quest as it wouldn’t give me the dialogue option to accept it.

[flint lodge]

It's bad wording in the quest - it actually waits for you to progress further in the story

Guys, question regarding Zalissya defence
||Is it completely impossible to save Zalissya in the current version? I completed the defence quest with all optional tasks, including the second wave. Technician and Hamster are alive, and talk to me. When I leave Zalissya, Gaffer says on radio that it's safe. But the moment I leave Lesser Zone, I hear Gaffer saying that Zalissya has been lost. When I come back, there are some enemies inside, shooting at me through the windows, and I can't enter the main building.||

[icy anchor]

I was about to ask the same thing

I have the same problem with Zalissya

[flint lodge]

I checked the map, the message comes exactly the moment I cross the border to Wild Island region

[icy anchor]

I also have a problem with two quests, || the one where you suppose to go on the noontide roof, kill a guy and turn off the generator. I can do everything and the game still ask me to go to the roof . And also the main quest asking me to go speak to the professor Lodochka, the door to his bunker won't open ||

[flint lodge]

||Lodochka is supposed to be at Quiet's place, on the second floor||

[icy anchor]

|| Weird the quest marker is on the bunker || thank you anyway! I will check it ou

[flint lodge]

||The first quest sounds like the one you get when you talk to Lodochka the first time you visit noontide's base? If so, it might be impossible, since the noontide turned to monolith||

[mighty warren]

Scroll up a bit to my last message and look at the message im replying to, try doing those two teleport commands right after completing the quest, worked for me. Do enable ghost mode before teleporting

[mighty warren]

This one

[severe acorn]

oOOOHH thank you my dude that helped a lot

[icy anchor]

|| It didn't work even before Sircaa ||

[fierce rivet]

Would I be alright if I avoided the Lesser Zone ||for the time being to avoid triggering the zalissya defence, or does it have a timer of sorts as soon as I receive the mission? Really want to keep playing but don't want to if I can't avoid Zalissya dying until the patch.||

[flint lodge]

It still fails, unfortunately
In my case I didn't see any Monolith in the main hall though, and there were no issues with blocked doors or anything like that

[fluid knot]

have you ever tried this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz8kia/zalissya_defence_guide_using_uetools/

[muted veldt]

atrashbagel has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite meteor]

dang it

[lean sail]

Im on arena part 4 but no matter how much i sleep it still says wait for the arena to become ready. Do i need to progress the story enough or something?

[finite meteor]

it becomes available after a certain main mission (at least I did for me and a friend)

[finite meteor]

"dang it" imma try this, need to load like ~4h back

[fluid knot]

My quest was also completely broken, when I arrived at Zalissya, all the monolithians were trapped inside the door, I was able to follow the method on that url to complete the quest, but after “Zalissya is safe”, I got the log “Zalissya is dead”. I thought I had saved all the residents, but I must have missed something...

[bronze elk]

tried the solution on reddit post did all the steps saved everyone cities still dies

[fierce rivet]

Unfortunately no, it's seemingly just not disabling the fail condition for the quest or something, so even after doing it all correctly, you'll fail as soon as you get a certain distance away.

[flint lodge]

hmmm.
||So, basically I went to Zalissya before going to the new Monolith base, since there was a quest marker on Zalissya.
I had to rush there quickly, to reach before the emission, and take out Monolith NPCs around the main building.
Then did everything as the post says, except one guy during the second wave died.
I had no issues with broken doors or stuck Monolith NPCs. The one weird thing was the I still heard gunfire sound effect at the northern entrance to Zalissya, even after completing the quest.

When I teleport to Clear Sky base, I get the message that Zalissya is fallen. When I teleport back, I don't see any Monolkith NPCs, except Gaffer, and Lins, and Mykolayich are dead, the door is locked, and the rest of loners are hostile to me.||

The only sign that anything was wrong after quest completion was the gunfire sound effects that wouldn't go away

[bronze elk]

same issue i have

even when you complete the second wave quest it says mission accomplished but it doesnt give the checkmark on the journal instead it gives the circle with the line

[strong elm]

Zalissya defense bugged atm

[fluid knot]

guys I got it

||UETools_TeleportTo (just like this with no coordinates)||
I have missed doing this before teleporting to Clear Sky base. If you do this and then fly to Clear Sky Base, you will not get the “Zalissya is dead” log, and when you return to Zalissya, everyone is fine.

[bronze elk]

will try that now thanks

[bronze elk]

just tried it can confirmed it works, used that command and then the ones for clear sky and back

[fluid knot]

Perhaps he's right, It would be possible to disable the failing condition for some reason by putting in the blank teleport command before leaving Zalissya

[fierce rivet]

Not sure why exactly that would fix it, but also don't know what's going on in the background for that to work.

Will try myself when I get back home to see if it does work.

[flint lodge]

Have you gone to Zalissya after going to the new Monolith base, or before?

[bronze elk]

went to zalissya first before other quests

[flint lodge]

oh. I did the same, but it doesn't work for me. Every time I tp to Clear Sky, I get the fail message, and when I tp back the loners turn hostile

[bronze elk]

did yo ufollow killerbean's command first

[fluid knot]

The log, which appears for only two frames immediately after the blank teleport, says “Zalissya is dead”. But when I return to Zalissya, it is not destroyed. I'm so confused lol

[flint lodge]

ah, no. huh, that's weird

OH. It didn't fail this time. I must be blind

I'll let you know if it fails once I leave lesser zone

[fluid knot]

If we go to where ||Scar|| is in the main quest line, the subquest was automatically canceled and Zalissya was destroyed, so we can find out by heading there

[flint lodge]

okay, I didn't fail once I left the Lesser Zone. I'm cautiously optimistic. Thank you guys!

Are there any other places that I should defend/clear before advancing the story?

[late horizon]

why, what a waste of hunting for those collars fot sherba. only for 3k? what a joke

[tame fractal]

Guys for the zalyssya quest anyone know the location of warlock house please ?

[prisma crane]

heya guys, i have the preorder version of stalker but i only got 2 stashes of the journalist side quest (now the journalist side quest looks like it's finished) i got the Tourist Suit and the Veteran but other stashes do not appear on the map, should it be like 12 stashes??
BTW, i found a blue stash but inside of it were generic consumables and some ammo, no other item

[late horizon]

has anyone done this "in the name of the science" mission? i can do the "optional" part but it will break the main part of disabling the jammer

[flint lodge]

okay, I see, I have the same issue now, lol

[icy anchor]

XD

[lavish jolt]

|| SPOILERSo I did the side quest On The Edge In Zalissya and helped people there but after going to another destination everybody died in Zalissya and my question can I do anything about it or is this some bug ||

also there was a enemy that I was not able to kill even with good weapons and better ammuniton

[fierce rivet]

It's a common bug right now, there are some work arounds if you are PC that aren't 100% consistent

[lavish jolt]

so I cant do anything

[fierce rivet]

It'll likely be fixed in the next patch but not 100% on if it will.

[hybrid frigate]

Hey, i just got the quest for the Journalist's Stashes and Zalissya's icon is blue. Does that mean there is a new side quest in the town?

[lavish jolt]

yes

[hybrid frigate]

Does the game tells you where? Lmao

[lavish jolt]

there should be a blue flag or blue ! icon

[lavish jolt]

normaly if you zoom in to the map

[fierce rivet]

Yeah zoom in close on the map should show it.

[hybrid frigate]

Yeah, if I zoom, i get nothing, just the icons for shops

[lavish jolt]

Im gonna keep playing without it

do you know the fix relese date ?

[fierce rivet]

It's supposed to be sometime this week but no exact day.

[lavish jolt]

okay thx

[flint lodge]

I ended up using dev tools to walk through the door

[crude scroll]

anyone know where Shcherba is meant to be at Ahroprom? The guy who gives the X5 keycard after meeting the Doc and getting drunk? Been looking in search zone for ages and dont see anything

[flint lodge]

question regarding Hortnet's Nest quest
||Did anyone see Solder? I knocked him out during the first encounter, and now when going through Sphere I get an optional objective to talk to Solder, but, and soon afterwards I hear gunshots and the objective is failed. But I can't find him anywhere, not even the body. When I use "XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000" to kill all Monolith NPCs, the task to talk to Solder immediately pops up, already failed||
||Isolated it to the room with two Monolith NPCs that don't aggro immediately. in a room with scattered paper. Immediately after killing them the objective to talk to Solder appears in the Journal, already in failed state||

[fierce rivet]

Tried the UETools method for the ||Zalissya Defence, and it did work, but from what I am noticing it seems to tag the quest as failed despite being safe so far even after leaving the lesser zone for a while.||

[flint lodge]

it says completed for me

[winged pond]

https://www.twitch.tv/theangrymuffinnn/clip/WonderfulAnimatedFungusPicoMause-TfUPyAKV8zPdFp-u

[fierce rivet]

Well, not as in the quest itself, it IS completed, however it makes both the "||Fight off the Monolith attack||" and the "||Return to Zalissya||" steps as failed, so it's possible that the check for those last two steps mistakenly defaults to "failed" no matter what you do, and when you get a certain distance away it sees that and goes "oh, need to correct it" killing everyone. As for why the blank teleport command fixes it, not sure.

[flint lodge]

||for me, "return to zalissya" has green checkmark (success , and "Fight off the Monolith" attack has grey checkmark (skipped)||

[fierce rivet]

Both of those for me are circles with lines through them indicated failed/skipped

[flint lodge]

ah ok, failed would be red with a cross

[limpid orbit]

Are the arena missions bugged?

Cuz I’m stuck on waiting for the next fight to be ready and the mission on my compass is just point at the bed in arnies office

[flint lodge]

it's waiting for you to progress main story

[limpid orbit]

How far do I have to progress cuz I’m on hot on the trail

[flint lodge]

I don't know the earliest point, but you can complete the arena fully it after ||In Search of a Miracle||

[limpid orbit]

Okay thank

[jaunty jay]

on the|| black sheep mission || I killed the ||wardens|| now I gotta talk to ||Trachuk|| and he always says "not now ok", so I can't talk to him

[dreamy sable]

i had similar issue and just saved and loaded and it fixed for me

[jaunty jay]

hmm I already did that

[jaunty jay]

I just shot him, I'll just say the ward did it

[karmic bough]

the skadovsk door is locked after 3 captains quest what do i do?

[karmic bough]

The Key to Freedom softlock bug. I already searched the corpse before the quest told me to do so. and the quest marker is stuck saying search the corpse. Found the key on the rooftop. When I unlocked the door. The 3 stalkers became hostile and started shooting me. I had to kill them and now i didnt get any rewards and my quest marker still stuck at search the corpse

[low arch]

This game was not play tested. :|

[vital walrus]

has anyone figured out how to fix the bug where sultan and beard are not in the building after the mercs attack in three captains

[jaunty jay]

they were downstairs when I found them

[vital walrus]

i figured it 10 minutes after i asked 😭

[vivid basin]

Hey has anyone come across a soft lock during Just like the good old days and An invisible threat where when going to Zalissya bar the NPCs are all in the main building and no fighting in the streets?

[slender locust]

Will Zalissya fall if I ignore it?

[low arch]

No, but if you walk into town then leave it will

[slender locust]

So just avoid the town for now right?

[jaunty jay]

There’s a method to save it if your on pc

[vivid basin]

Im listening

[jaunty jay]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/s/cXCJmfN2Bl

[vivid basin]

Thanks mate. I’ll give that a shot tomorrow

[old rapids]

it failed automatically for me, wasnt even close to it

[peak nova]

with the UETools mod this command fixed the whole quest for me
"XKillNPCInRadius 1000 -9999 0"

[frail pumice]

is lodochka's lab (the noontide base scientist) supposed to just... close and never be re-enterable after the main quest goes there?

i assumed i could like, go there and interact with him if i wanted

[shrewd escarp]

The thing is my quest objective now is to talk to Jumper after killing Hog, bug Hog already killed Jumper and now I cant talk to him. This is the part of the quest where I already killed the controller below. Now im just stuck in "Talk to Jumper" even if he's dead.

[bronze elk]

thats also bugged, i used uetools and ghost command cause the door just stays closed after the first side quest from him

[frail pumice]

oh, okay i will do that then, thank you

[broken halo]

If you are crashing in mindscrew:

Set your graphics to potato then run full speed (not fat walk at max carry) into the tunnel of crash (you know it if you're looking for this).
It will hang, for about a minute. DO NOT. TOUCH. ANYTHING. do not alt tab, don't touch the mouse, just leave it alone
Try and move, if it still does the perma hang, the save is bricked. Go back and load an older save. If it doesn't you got lucky, never go back into that awful place again.

[clear walrus]

Im just completing "A sign of hope". I didnt kill the zombie, but ive heard either way you get an upgraded artifact detector as a reward. I just completed the quest and didnt get the detector as a reward. Is there a specific place i get it or is it bugged?

[glossy walrus]

Is swedish in sidorovich's "unhealthy competition" ||supposed to die anyway? Felt kinda like an lackluster ending to find him there dead alone when checking back.||

Or ||sid bought his squad out and they turned on the poor guy||

[blissful mist]

is Shevchenko supposed to be empty after doing the side quest Three Captains? (sided with sultan and beard)

[karmic bough]

same. its empty for me and Skadovsk is locked. I also sided with sultan and beard

[blissful mist]

for me Skadovsk wasn't locked, but beard wasnt there,I runned to icarus and then back to Skadovsk and now everything works

but i still have in Shevchenko traders mark on map

[graceful chasm]

Anyone else encountering what appears to be... Different bugs? In the quest "All That Is Left"?

||I successfully got the Soul Artifact in one play through, but immediately after retrieving it and getting the scientist dialogue - the quest failed, there and then - for no reason. Reloading didn't help in any way. So, I returned to an earlier save - went through the same place, only this time the body the PDA on isn't there - and the artifact isn't spawning at all.||

Any advice on what I could do would be appreciated, because I'm at a loss.

[graceful chasm]

Okay that quest is absolutely bugged || I reloaded to a much earlier save, went and got the artifact, spoke to the scientist, threw the body into the anomaly, retrieved the PDA - got back to Mateus and literally mid dialogue of me handing the PDA over to him the quest fails - for no reason, at all - and ends the dialogue. The absolute only way I was able to complete the quest successfully is to skip all of the dialogue and rush toward the reward.||

[gritty venture]

The mission with the "duty" soldier doesn't work for you either, even though I played hide and seek with him, the mission still gets stuck so I can talk to him about the base and he has nothing to tell me.

[proud stirrup]

need advice with On the Edge quest

|| so after defending i went on back to the main quest, but then a transmission came in saying Zalissya has fallen, is this a bug? literally 2 minutes earlier on teh radio he said its open for stalkers to seek refuuge||

[proud stirrup]

did u fix this somehow

[gritty venture]

you need to wait for the patch

[proud stirrup]

i fixed it with uetools mentioned earlier here

[regal haven]

The best way to fix zalissya quest is to use UETools -> UETools_Ghost to go inside and a console command to kill all ||the monolith|| inside FIRST. Do not talk to anyone or it breaks the quests

Once you do so, the npcs will relax and the doors unlock

When you go to leave Gaffer will pull you into dialogue, and you'll get the quests and defenses to trigger.

If you force them with talking to Gaffer or force it with the quest command, you won't get the various vendors sidequests and the defense quests won't complete correctly

Also, during the defense, some ||monolith|| will sometimes go into the building, you need to use the kill command on them before you finish the defense quest (Gaffer asks to speak to you inside)

Honestly, waiting for the patch will be best for this one, but it is because hostile npcs spawn inside when you enter the town that the whole side quest chain is broken. Any hostiles inside, or outside, even mutants, will force the doors to remain locked and prevent the quest from triggering.

Final Note: ||Depending on how many loners die during the defense, Gaffer will either say it was a defeat or victory when you talk to him inside afterwards, but as long as you have this conversation, Zalissya should be saved in my testing. It just results in some of the named loners who were in the defense to be dead or not obviously. I didn't end up with any subsequent radio transmissions about it falling||

[gritty venture]

i get a radio transmission about falling whatever i do, im waiting for the patch

i wish this will work and didnt destroy my save

[ashen stag]

In my case it was that even helping them they died but being in the cordon stalkers at the campfire opined that the zalisia defended itself from the monoliths and is doing well

[leaden glacier]

in "in the name of science" one of the monsters wont spawn (i was at this place earlier before i got the quest and i think that something is messed up now)

[regal haven]

Devs have specifically noted that this will be patched in the first patch, so that's really good news.

[ashen stag]

But when will be patch, it's been a week since the release and it's still not there

[gritty venture]

in this week

[regal haven]

Have faith in the zone, stalker.

[gritty venture]

I can't wait for this update because I want to continue the story, but I don't want to have a dead zalissia + I want to talk to the professor in the bunker

[regal haven]

use the UETools mod temporarily. For professor use UETools_Ghost command to go in and finish that one, then the same for zalissya + the kill command, it works.

[gritty venture]

I prefer to wait for the official patch

[vivid basin]

Thanks man this worked out

[remote iris]

Ok... in Garbage at the base... there is a guy outside flagged as an available quest.. whining about "fishing out his gun from the trench"...I dont think the game is actually giving me the mission.. nothing in journal, he is still flagged as available, and still asks if i can get his gun, yet nothing happens...

Glitched, or do I need to do something else first?

[hollow patio]

not glitched, just have to go in the trench and get the gun next to the waterline

[remote iris]

where is this trench?

[hollow patio]

right in front of where he is

like just cross the railing and go down, it's close by

[remote iris]

oh ffs... well since it wasnt updating to show i had the mission, and nothing seemed to change, wasnt sure

[lavish jolt]

I tried back save and use Wemod but nope its bugged we need to wait for new patch fix

[proud stirrup]

look at the uetools fix it works

[sullen cove]

Anyone knows how to pick up bubble's body? It seems like I can't pick his body up without looting him first

[astral relic]

is there a targeted kill command so I don't take out the ||technician|| whos not flagged as essential

[foggy fox]

Is there any fix for the “a minor incident” quest or am I gonna have to just wait for the update? I know about grabbing the collar ahead of time but I’d have to go back like five hours of game time

[vital shard]

Is there a real consequence to "A Light at the End of the Tunnel" after telling Quiet that Sidor is a crook?

[peak nova]

i don't think so i did that and nothing bad has happened that causes sidor to not give me quests what not

[torn fog]

kill command?

[vital shard]

What about Sidor sending you to kill Swedish and his guys? Still no consequences?

[peak nova]

"XKillNPCInRadius 1000 -9999 0"

[peak nova]

i sided with the traders and sidor still good for me

[candid carbon]

how did u fix it

[peak nova]

"XKillNPCInRadius 1000 -9999 0" this command in UETools killed the monolith for me to progress the quest also can use UETools_Ghost to no clip through the locked door to talk to gaffer

[proud stirrup]

like this

i managed to bypass the locked door by just walking around until the event triggered but yeah the quest is hella bugged

[peak nova]

make a few saves though and try different fixes cause for some reason they dont work for everyone

[peak nova]

i noticed they start flooding out if you go into the bar

[torn fog]

does this kill only monolith?

[candid carbon]

oh thanks

[peak nova]

should only kill all the monolith in zaliyssa

atleast for me it only killed them

[torn fog]

ok ty

[peak nova]

no problem

[peak nova]

just make sure to quicksave and be careful the whole quest is buggy and lots of things can cause a fail for no reason

[arctic pine]

nice to see Lefty from Clear Sky is back

||too bad he f*cking dies before we even get to him. couldn’t they have made that new Blizzard guy the one that bites it? all the returning characters are written to either piss you off, be stupid, or be dead. ||

[candid carbon]

I'm tired of hearing that "||Zalissya is Gone||" Hopefully, this command will fix the bug in this mission

[peak nova]

guess its time to join the monolith instead lol

[candid carbon]

If this doesn't work I'll personally kill Gaffer myself

[peak nova]

can't even blame you if you do man deserves it for locking me out the building after asking for help

[static crow]

It does work

[cinder zodiac]

How tf did you complete the quest

[mortal epoch]

I'm confused about saving zalissya, I did all the missions there, got the radio message saying if stalkers need to settle they can come there because it's safe now and then not even 30 seconds later without warning another radio broadcast happens saying don't come its been lost

[thick raven]

having the exact same issue, did you find anything that worked?

[small mauve]

so im in the claw right now and have deduced that this is a magic cube artifact yet ive died a dozen times with my scanner telling me im right on top of it. have no idea how im supposed to get this artifact, any ideas?

[pastel kelp]

How tf do i fix this zalissya defense quest? I've tried like every fix I've found and nothing works so far. the kill commands just straight up don't work and the guy at the east checkpoint doesn't spawn i hear gunshots there but no one is near there

[light root]

im not getting any new sidequests anymore and some i cant even complete after certain main quest parts are done. is there a way to fix it?

[cinder zodiac]

Its broken for all

[light root]

also npcs in cordon are gone too

is there a way to make them load up again?

[pastel kelp]

i know but its obvious some people are getting past it using the fixes and im sure someone has had my same problem and gotten past it somehow

[cinder zodiac]

What fixes

[pastel kelp]

people are using the UE tools to get past it

[cinder zodiac]

Damn

[foggy hatch]

ping me if a fix is discovered. ive tried everything stated above

[regal haven]

The only way I got this to work was by doing the following:

• Go to a save before even starting the quest to defend Zalissya (I had a save where I still needed to talk to the professor at Noontide, and already received the initial radio call to come aid Zalissya. I proceeded to finish the professor conversation which required ghosting into the bunker btw and then head to the east checkpoint)
• First go to the checkpoint to the east of town, there is a NPC Kolya Green holding out, and he has a PDA about Uncle. Clear the POI then proceed to town.
• When I arrive at Zalissya after the radio messages, clearing the checkpoint, and the side quest is available/not already activated, the doors are locked and there are a bunch of monolithians inside as friendlies.
• Install the UETools mod and enter "UETools_Ghost" in the console to clip inside (You can use "UETools_Walk" to leave the ghost mode.) DO NOT TALK TO GAFFER OR ANYONE.
• Use "XKillNPCInRadius 500 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000" in console near the monolith soldiers to kill them all inside. You might need to do this multiple times if they are scattered around in the former Ward building, just get in the middle of them and use the console command here.
• Once all dead, friendly loners will relax and start going outside, this unlocks the double doors.
• When I went to leave the building Gaffer pulled me into his dialogue to start the quest. I could then talk to Warlock as the optional, and proceed with the quests to help Hampster and Lens (THIS ISNT MARKED. TALK TO THE MEDIC GUY).
• Do not leave the town until Gaffer gives the resulting speech. It will be after the final wave. He asks you to come back inside to chat in the left room. I only had success if I went around and killed every enemy and the couple that got stuck again inside. After the speech, I never had a problem at all.

I didn't need to use the teleports or anything along those means, and I was able to complete the defense.

edit: If any hostiles are around, the doors lock, so make sure that there are no enemies in town. You can tell if you are stuck in alert (red bar on your compass)

What broke it whenever I tried prior to this was ghosting inside and talking to gaffer to try to force it, or using the quest advance or quest trigger state commands, They "completed" the main defense quest but I couldnt talk to anyone, the cutscenes bugged and I never got to do the lens or hamster quests.

Then as people said, even when I went and did the Teleports, it never reset the town hall or anything and no matter what would end with the failure radio call

And yeah sorry if it doesn't work for you ;-; I tried several other fixes that worked for them, this one took me like 3 hours and multiple attempts to work.

All I know for sure is that:

1. You have to use the killnpc command on the monolith inside the town hall to unlock the doors and make the loners relax and get to their routine. If you do anything that triggers or affects the quest before they're gone, it breaks it.

2. do not talk to gaffer to start the quest, he should suck you into the initial dialogue.

3)The attack waves (one on the iconic overlooking hill, the other which is the actual big battle) sometimes took a couple minutes to trigger, so you stand outside waiting for the quest to advance with no indication or warning

[regal haven]

Even funnier, If there are mutants or any hostiles, the doors lock. You cant be in combat, nor can any of the npcs. EVEN THEN, Monolith troops will glitch through the locked doors during attack waves and prevent any progress until you use a npckill command on them lol. They go inside and turn friendly/unkillable

[regal haven]

The one Not_Yet_Homeless or I will work. 500 or 1000 I think is the radius. I used 500 because someone else posted it on reddit.

Sorry for the wall of text, this bug frustrated me to death

[fresh stone]

Theres a guy stuck on some plywood surrounded by electrical field that i cannot talk to or active a side quest. he just says "Come on Lead the way out" hope this gets fixed with new update.

[plain birch]

Is the 4th round of the arena broken or just progression locked?

[deft adder]

progression locked, you need to finish extreme simplicity first

[plain birch]

Ok thank you very much it’s confusing that it is no warning or anything

[raven pilot]

any of you guys get the bug on three captains where beard and sultan don't spawn?

[raven pilot]

(Had to fix render distance by setting it to max)

[quartz sonnet]

Do you know if mods work if I am playing on GeForce Now? I am at this point and I would like to progress. Lol

[narrow mountain]

Has anyone done the zaton sidequest ||where you investigate the quartermaster for his shady dealings. I've gotten the crate and the pda off of the bandit to kill, but how exactly do i open the crate with the weapon, or can i even keep it or is it quest material?||

[inland prawn]

It's the third time I help an NPC and after I helped them, they survived, but when I come back to there places they are dead. The Ninth in Zalyssia, David Kolyan in Garbage, and don't remember who on Wild Island. I know Chornobyl's not the safest place, but it feels terrible that every choices made in side quest is denied like that...

[arctic pine]

having this bug rn. goddammit

[radiant aspen]

after reloading a few times to ||defend zylysia from monolith|| I completed the task fine, nobody died. 10 minutes later when I left the area I got the notification that the quest was failed and ||Gaffer said zylysia has fallen to the monolith|| is there a way to not have this happen?

[wintry basin]

||does anyone know if or how you can get the veles detector without doing the 21. main mission?||

[shrewd horizon]

It happens to everyone it's perma bugged

[radiant aspen]

thats fantastic news

[tired gulch]

did anyone notice if u pick up audio note it does not work

[jaunty jay]

yeah shoot him

[arctic pine]

restarting game and reloading fixed it thankfully

but now Malachite is...Orange? thought it was supposed to be Red based on other bugs

[jaunty jay]

shrug

[torn fog]

completed the quest and when i went out of town Gaf invited all stalkers to Zal but when I reached to sphere he gave new speach that Zal is fallen....

at least i got reward but i had to give away nice weapon

[tacit delta]

#📸┃screenshots_and_videos message guys anyone can help me ?

[hoary vortex]

is the breadguy in rostok bugged? he's supposed to give some side mission but he just says "you think you're being clever bla bla bla"

then he went and disappeared on me after I went do something else for a while

[proud stirrup]

Hi I am having an issue with Zalissya. I saved them from the attacks but whenever I leave the area, I get told on the radio they got destroyed.

[torn fog]

same thing its bugged

[white vortex]

dudes there's a pinned message

[proud stirrup]

do you know if it's being fixed?

[proud stirrup]

So I need UE tools to fix it so I can walk out of the lesser zone?

[white vortex]

yes

[proud stirrup]

is there a link or do I just search for UE tools?

[white vortex]

just google it, first link leads to nexusmods

[proud stirrup]

does this disable achievements

[torn fog]

UE tools does not fix

[arctic pine]

how long does it take for trader radiant quests to reset

[proud stirrup]

Okay. The issue is that I fought off the Monolithians. Everyone is safe. Did all the optional stuff, like find Warlock's gun etc. But when I try to leave the Lesser Zone. I get a radio call that says they were destroyed. If there was a patch for it, I would wait but it's kind of breaking the game for me.

[torn fog]

yea I had same thing

[proud stirrup]

did you just let them die and move on?

[torn fog]

made hard save and waiting

[proud stirrup]

Yeah I have a save in the town hall after I saved them. I might play Metro Exodus lol

[torn fog]

loot all bodies 3 persons in back room (stage) has a good loot

[fickle gull]

Hi i have a bug for the ||defend zalissya|| quest the npcs are inside ||the town hall ||equipping there weapons and putting them away over and over and no one is spawning outside the door is locked and everything Ive looked up online says it's broken and you have to cheat to fix it anyone know how to fix this without cheating

[torn fog]

everybody has scroll up there is partial solution

[proud stirrup]

as long as the developer is aware of the issue and gearing to fix it.

[fickle gull]

My problem is the ||monolith ||npcs and town npcs are inside I can see them they arent fighting and they bugging out there is no one outside Ive reloaded left and returned threw nades at the npcs inside it's just bugged completely

Where is the partial solution sorry I cant find it

[torn fog]

Go to a save before even starting the quest to defend Zalissya (I had a save where I still needed to talk to the professor at Noontide, and already received the initial radio call to come aid Zalissya. I proceeded to finish the professor conversation which required ghosting into the bunker btw and then head to the east checkpoint)
First go to the checkpoint to the east of town, there is a NPC Kolya Green holding out, and he has a PDA about Uncle. Clear the POI then proceed to town.
When I arrive at Zalissya after the radio messages, clearing the checkpoint, and the side quest is available/not already activated, the doors are locked and there are a bunch of monolithians inside as friendlies.
Install the UETools mod and enter "UETools_Ghost" in the console to clip inside (You can use "UETools_Walk" to leave the ghost mode.) DO NOT TALK TO GAFFER OR ANYONE.
Use "XKillNPCInRadius 500 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000" in console near the monolith soldiers to kill them all inside. You might need to do this multiple times if they are scattered around in the former Ward building, just get in the middle of them and use the console command here.
Once all dead, friendly loners will relax and start going outside, this unlocks the double doors.
When I went to leave the building Gaffer pulled me into his dialogue to start the quest. I could then talk to Warlock as the optional, and proceed with the quests to help Hampster and Lens (THIS ISNT MARKED. TALK TO THE MEDIC GUY).
Do not leave the town until Gaffer gives the resulting speech. It will be after the final wave. He asks you to come back inside to chat in the left room. I only had success if I went around and killed every enemy and the couple that got stuck again inside. After the speech, I never had a problem at all.

[fickle gull]

Ah I see well thank you for sharing I think I might just leave it I care about the town and stuff but that's alot for a work around when I could do other stuff I dont want to download mods etc to fix it very time consuming

[torn fog]

for me it did not solve the all problems when I exit zone Gaf will give speech that Zal is fallen

[fickle gull]

Did it tho?

Can you not trade rest etc?

[torn fog]

I moved out of town and back then i was able trade

[fickle gull]

Ah then Ig its kinda worth it

[torn fog]

and repair

you get seva as reward

[fickle gull]

Seva that a gun?

[torn fog]

suit

[fickle gull]

Unique or?

[torn fog]

no

[fickle gull]

Bc ive really good stuff anyway

Ah not worth it

[torn fog]

actually it is worth with all the drops you make good money like more than 50K

[static crow]

Does anyone have the QuestID for Deceive the Deceiver? The task is beyond broken lol

and I hate having it in my journal after 20 hours

ofc if anyone has a solution to actually finding akyopyan that would be dope aswell but I assume he doesn't actually exist anymore

[woeful wolf]

I just completed that quest, wdym?

[stone pine]

Question: Does Zalissya ||get a new Guide ||after ||the defend? Semes to have none...||

[static crow]

The end of the Quest is bugged for some reason and akyopon disappears

[north fable]

sidequest with a dude at electro field anomaly, at garbage
dude that stands on a crate in middle of anomaly asks to lead him out of it, but he doesnt move - another bugged thing? Or do i have to take a very specific route?

theres also a dead dude sitting on an excavator nearby, is he crucial for the quest?

should he be alive?

[supple horizon]

whoever made “on the edge” should be fired

[ashen elm]

Pretty much. I bit the bullet and downloaded UETools. Screw being limited to an area the size of a postage stamp.

[candid carbon]

hello how did u open the door?

[radiant aspen]

I think that’s the one that has like a generator in the room you just turn on

[somber nexus]

what I heard was that if there's a blowout or w/e the red storm thing is called and you've been in the area, he's bugged. He was bugged for my first game. I restarted the game for Grok's Misery attempt and he worked fine. Just a usual broken side quest. It's not actually a big deal cause he only gives you a common artifact.

[untold yacht]

It’s likely just a bug. I’ve seen a clip of it where the dude also just runs straight into one of the anomalies and dies instantly, but the patch this week should address it

[north fable]

if stuff gets fixed i can even start my gameplay from scratch, thx for replies guys

[tepid hearth]

In ||Zalyssia|| right after ||monolith invades||, there's disembodied firefight sounds at the checkpoints, and in the town hall's a bunch of ||monolith and stalkers|| chilling out with trader protections, is a quest supposed to start or am I missing something?

[prisma crane]

heya guys, how many Journalist stashes are there in total if you've bought the preorder, 12?

[tepid hearth]

I believe it depends on whether you got standard, deluxe, or ultimate edition

[prisma crane]

i got the limited edition

[tepid hearth]

limited edition?

[prisma crane]

yeah, i bought the limited physical edition

[neat flume]

Okay, I have to question the writing of this Rostok quest where you're tasked with saving a Freedom squad from some bandits: In the optional task to find the remnants of the squad you find one survivor, who gives you a key if you heal them.

He says that they heard of a cave leading to the bandit base and it was hinted to them that it would be a good route to surprise the bandits, but the bandits were waiting for them and beat them in an ambush.

The guy then suggests you should sneak in using the cave the key unlocks, because it lets you sneak in to the bandits base.

Like I get the dude is shellshocked, maybe even high, but that's some incredible levels of brain damage in his logic.

[tepid hearth]

woah, spoilers

[neat flume]

you're in the wrong category m8

[tepid hearth]

this is for people looking for help with quests, by definition, people who haven't done all the quests

[neat flume]

that's #❔┃gameplay-advice

[tepid hearth]

checked the website, seems like the physical editions have different bonuses

[prisma crane]

i did, it just says +Limited Edition Digital Content

[tepid hearth]

ye, I know

sorry man

[prisma crane]

so i'm limited to only 2 caches xD ?

[tepid hearth]

it's however many showed up when you got the quest

they don't really have anything special, the guns that are given as bonuses seem to only be reskins

[prisma crane]

i see, thank you stalker

[broken halo]

has anyone found a way to fix beard/sultan not spawning during 3 captains?

[full ether]

||Is there a way to do the side quests in Icarus if I don’t have a badge / didn’t show Ward the PDA?||

[grim junco]

I think no, I got asked by the guards to leave and was denied entry. Entering anyways made them angry.
And if you come back after progressing the story, ||they’re all gone so no side quests at all and no access to one of the rooms containing a stash||.

[full ether]

That’s a bummer. ||Granted, to me, it’s worth not officially associating with them lol.||

[pastel kelp]

for anyone wondering about the zalissya side quest you need to go there immediately after sirrca do the steps but you will still have use the teleport commands for it to not give the success radio call then the failed right after

an emission is what causes the enemys to go inside the main building with gaffer

[grim junco]

I hope the stash didn’t contain anything valuable, like a blueprint or something …
And I think there’s an achievement tied to a side quest you get there, so I suppose that will be for another playthrough .. !

[vapid mortar]

So consoles screwed atm…?

[full ether]

Yup! ||I don’t completely hate them, but I don’t want their badge either. That’s too much of a link for my roleplay as a neutral loner. Next time around, I’ll lean toward Ward||

[exotic pendant]

could you post the teleport command for Zalissya?

[glass gust]

Anybody else have the issue with the job 'A job for the Barkeep' where you cant complete the quest with the Barkeep?

[hardy geode]

lol trying to beat the chimera on veteran in the arena with that amount of ammo is funny

[analog frigate]

Do they happen to fix “a job for sidorovich”. When I go to turn the quest in it’s still in my journal

[brazen loom]

Right I downloaded patch wondering if anyone can help with shift change mission. At the end talk to jumper at quiets camp but it's not progressing so I assume another bug?

[analog frigate]

Are any of the side quests fixed where you couldn’t turn them in? That’s all I care about lol

I don’t wanna play just the main story

[junior rock]

im doing the zalisya defense quest so i went over to hamsters bunker payed his hired gun to leave they both headed for the town hall and then they just fell over and died!? this happen to anyone else or just me?

[past heath]

This just happened to me too no idea why, same with his hired guard

[fierce spire]

why are they dying?
#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[white vortex]

lmao they didn't fix zalissya?

please proceed to the pinned message, hope it's the last day of these questions

[fierce spire]

no, there's just a STALKER KILLER over there

you can check screenshot

[white vortex]

btw helluva patchnote

[white vortex]

did you download the 1.01 patch?

[fierce spire]

I guess?

the 14gb one?

[worthy bridge]

when i have to defend zalisya at the end the enemies don't spawn

[past heath]

same issue

[fierce spire]

yeah i have latest one

[spark sequoia]

guys when does the Zalyssia quest show up?

[obtuse iron]

Has anyone tried defending zalyssia quest after patch yet? Is it working now?

[viral briar]

still bugged

[rare dove]

for me, the NPCs were alive, and any monolith that had spawned in the town hall were dead. issue is, when I do the sub-objective to get Hamster and his guard to return to the hall, they die as soon as they step foot inside

[viral briar]

also when there is a radio that there is a second attack , theres nothing happening and the quest is completed. After i leave i get another radio that the place has fallen

[worthy bridge]

How does it happen to fix one bug in a quest but then another one happens ? Before the patch the second attack happened without problems

[rare dove]

I was working off a save I made before I even reached Zalissya after SIRCAA, I assume any fixes are going to work differently depending on when people's saves were

started a 2nd playthru while waiting for this patch, so I may just continue with that one if this quest needs more fixing

[fair vigil]

Is A Sign of Hope fixed because its blocking me from the main quest

[lone ridge]

Is there any story consequence for letting Zalyssia fall? I have the same as others where I can complete the first few quests, but when I get called back, nothing spawns and I basically have to run away and let the town fall

This is my second play through, really didnt want to loss the town again 😢

[worthy bridge]

I just let it fall, don't want to wait for another patch

[main kiln]

Zalissya quest is still broken??

[dull matrix]

It sure is.

[main kiln]

Everything was looking nice this time, just left the place and surprise, radio msg still the same..

[pliant patrol]

is the round 4 of arena bug fixed?

[echo ether]

Not for me

My last save was in zalissya after defending it. Leaving would trigger loss. Updated game, loaded in, ran to noontide base and I got base saved and no loss message yet

[dull matrix]

Can't defend with the new patch anymore. monolith don't spawn in.

[echo ether]

I didn't have that issue prior to patch when I first arrived at zalissya

[main kiln]

My save was before beginning the quest, I did it from scratch and nothing, once i left msg about the falling city appears..

And yes there was one more return to Zalissya, but monolith hasn't spawn..

[viral briar]

does hamster die after getting inside the building ?

[dull matrix]

Alright... this is odd. I left after monolith wouldn't spawn. Obviously, I got the "Failed" and went back to everyone dead, including Gaffer. Now, at wild Island, Gaffer just called and said we successfully defended the attack???

Ah great now he's saying that I shot our people and I'm no longer welcome. Probably because everyone died to the "monolith" attack

[main kiln]

Ok, I might found the issue. There was failed part, I was nedeed to return to Slavko, once I killed monolith scouts, since i didn't it's failed the whole quest. Will try to leave the city now, once i finished it..

[little urchin]

Anyone knows anything about underground tunnels (behind code-locked door) west of the Rookie village? Some quests lead there?

[blissful nova]

it is for me. been trying to trigger the last event for an hour now

[edgy yacht]

2nd wave won't spawn for me either. Guess it's back to gamma until the next patch.

[frigid canopy]

Yes. Quiet, trader on Wild Island will give you a quest

[gray coral]

Unfortunately your approach in the pinned message doesn't work anymore. As soon as you teleport away the quest fails and everyone is dead.

[main kiln]

Redid quest again, doesn't hellped. All marks shows done, before returning quest to Gaffer, but once talk to him it's showing that part with scouts was failed. And village died eventualy. Will try to keep going without returning to him, will see if can go futher this time.

[blissful nova]

does hamster die for you? just randomly

[gray coral]

Funnily enough I got the achievement for saving Zalissya even though it's bugged. Only 0.8% of players got it, lol.

[runic chasm]

same, i got thje acheievement even though i had zero monolith attacks, just walked away and told to return, still nothing else

[edgy yacht]

I got the achievement, left, got a prompt to return, returned, nothing happened, left again, got notice that it was wiped out over the radio

[gray coral]

Guess we'll wait until someone finds a solution or until they properly patch it.

[distant sequoia]

will the second attack in zylisya be fixed?

i want to play the game so bad but due to my perfectionism im holding out until everything is patched , still love the game though

[dull matrix]

Honestly I wouldn't expect a fix for at least another week.

[distant sequoia]

@dull matrix yeah....

i waited 15 years for this game so ive got patience to wait another week

[wide mountain]

In the name of science quest, I have to wait for Shcherba rewards or it is bugged? His place is locked

[normal fable]

Zalissya defend quest not fixed 😦

[junior rock]

time to wait another week for zalissya to be fixed : D

[summer torrent]

I need a help with quest: Save the group "Alpha"
does anybody know how to complete it successful? I tried everything and it leads to failure.

[golden vine]

eh, zalyssia works a little bit better for me, but when i payed off Hamsters mercenary, and went to do other side stuff i returned to him being dead

[brisk folio]

zalissya will never be fixed

[blissful nova]

Just watched him open the door and drop dead

[muted veldt]

majordomo96 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[golden vine]

also people say that when ill do the quests it will still be marked as not done?

[restive axle]

Zaliyssa still being broken is rediculous.

[echo ether]

Wasn't broken for me

[dull matrix]

Yeah that's what happens when you complete the broken part before the patch that breaks it comes out

[soft spindle]

So Zaliyssa is still broken did all the optional stuff turned the quest in was called back to defend and they are still all dead

[fast ermine]

Anyone having the Zali defense work 100% until you leave Lesser zone then they radio saying all dead? Is that still happening?

[restive axle]

Yep ^

[soft spindle]

yup

[restive axle]

Do everything perfectly, into FAIL when you leave.

[fast ermine]

RIP

[echo ether]

I paid off hamsters merc, didn't kill him. Idk if that changes anything

[fast ermine]

Seems that quest is WAY borked

[tepid sandal]

Just to know, did you load your save before Zali or way before SIRCA?

[blissful nova]

dude dies walking into the guide place

[fast ermine]

And it worked?

[fast ermine]

I see a lot of people saying this, but it worked for me. Wild

[echo ether]

My save was after saving the village but before leaving it to avoid radio message

[dull matrix]

Ignore him. Up above he said he completed all the problem areas before the update.

[echo ether]

I also went from SCRA mission to barge, then used guide to slag heap and then I went to zali

perhaps coming at it in that manner can help

[fast ermine]

Hmmm. I am on Gamepass, so no update yet, but I did everything the same as you (even traveling) yesterday. Hoping itll work later.

[echo ether]

I am on gamepass as well. I was able to save the town this way.

But transferred to steam for today's patch

[prisma hull]

yall I cant get hamster to talk to me, he just immediately aggros. How do I get him to share his supplies? before I could just pay the merc off but he is auto aggro too

[restive axle]

Vast majority of us just need to wait for another patch, or a hotfix. idk.

[summer torrent]

?

[gray coral]

Dont bother because even if you convince him he will just die due to a different bug, after which the questline completely breaks once more

[echo ether]

My suggestion is do SCRA mission > run to barge > take guide to slag heap in garbage > zalissya.

I paid off hamsters merc. Got all stashes for tech surgery except the one in town. Did all their side quests.

That's how I was able to save the town prior to patch on gamepass. Today's patch (transferred my save to steam) fixed the town has fallen message for me.

[fast ermine]

Not 100% true. He didnt die when he walks into the building for me.

[prisma hull]

ok but how did you talk to him? were you ablt to just walk up?

[fast ermine]

Yes. As I walked down the stairs his guard stopped me

[gray coral]

Convo should trigger when you walk down the stairs

[glass warren]

Sid, Needle and Barkeep… they all bugged in my game. I have quests in the pda but I can't complete them because I don't see the option when I talk to them. Is there a solution for this?

[prisma hull]

lol. he didnt spawn down there. hes at like the hidey hole where you first meet him up the hill

[fast ermine]

So anomalous!

[prisma hull]

#📸┃screenshots_and_videos message

so annoying

[dull matrix]

Nice "All that is Left" is also a newly bugged quest. Marker doesn't update and artifact doesn't spawn

[brisk folio]

Anyone check the business with owl quest?

[soft spindle]

Ok good news sort of about the Zalissya defence DO NOT TURN IN THE QUEST when youre done you can move around freeley around the zone and the town wont fall untill devs completly fix the quest

[golden vine]

i literally just did

and i got the steam achiev?

[fast ermine]

Now leave lesser zone

[prisma hull]

zalissya still bugged. I got notif that monolith were on the way, and then nothing lol

jesus this is annoying I just wanna play outside of this stupid hub

[fast ermine]

"Dont turn it in" as in stop after the second attack?

[soft spindle]

Dont turn it in when you kill the guide and do the side obj

[muted veldt]

namai337 has been warned

How to save the Varta's group "Alpha" at Zaton gas station?

[prisma hull]

naughty no no words!

[fast ermine]

RIP. Too late for me, then.

[soft spindle]

Revert your save to that point

I keped playing around it see what can be done maybie a specific way to do the quest

[fast ermine]

Gunna see if I have a save at that point later.

[soft spindle]

And well this was the only workaround i found that wasint an auto fail

[summer torrent]

At least tell me, this quest is possible to complete or it was planned to be failed in any way?

[golden vine]

hmm, i started running to Garbage to check if it fails, they called me back for another defence, i got there (there was nothing, just the Father (not sure what his english name is) was sitting in another spot, i had like completion "get to zalyssia" but nothing happened so i went to garbage i didn't got any message, and got back and Zalyssia is still standing

[wicked sun]

"All it is left" is bugged right?

[golden vine]

i checked quest log and everything is completed and somehow 'kill Monolith recon' is failed although i've killed them

[fast ermine]

Weird. Some people (myself included) are finishing the quest and when leaving Lesser Zone, we get a radio call saying the town has fallen and everyone has died.. Glad yours (kinda) worked!

[golden vine]

well not sure yet to be honest

[soft spindle]

when you leave town then it falls

[golden vine]

i did leave it

and it didnt fall

but im thinking about reversing save anyways and leave it like just before completing the 1st part to enjoy the game

cause idk feels like it still can hit me later on

the quest is not in completed tab

[prisma hull]

There’s a third dude that hides up there

I’m boutta say screw it and just let zalissya fall, i don’t want to wait another week

[blissful nova]

i just killed all three and it still failed

even after it said i completed it

[golden vine]

i reloaded quest before completing first part and recon is marked as done...

[prisma hull]

Yeah idk man this is pretty goofy. Hamster spawning st some random spot is 👎

I had this completed neatly pre patch I shoulda just kept that save

[golden vine]

Hamster for me is dying after touching the doors of the main building

[fast osprey]

Do I get anything for giving warlock his weapon (except 1000c) ?

[golden vine]

oh i did kinda rushed things to get done before he dies after ive noticed he's dying from like touching the doors

[fast ermine]

Warm Fuzzies

[thin cloak]

I did everything and it still fell from the not spawning last wave. So I just gave up on the village.

[shell lark]

no just take it

[fast osprey]

the quest gets locked anyway it seems like -.- well one unique weapon richer 😄

[shell lark]

I gave it back to him like an idiot

don't be like me

[fast ermine]

No honor having.....

lol

[restive axle]

Yeh... I redid Zaliyssa from a fresh slate and its still totally screwed up lmao.

[blissful nova]

yeah i've been trying so many different ways of doing it for the past 3 hours. No matter what, hamster always dies and you always fail the scouts part, even if it says you completed it.

[restive axle]

Scout side objective fails even if it origionally marks it as complete.

2nd wave does not spawn.

Hamster + Richochet hit the invisible kill trigger glitch.

They claim its saved, and when you walk away it still fails the quest.

Those are just the ones I could find, but hey I made it further than I did last week before it broke.. lmao

[fast ermine]

Crazy there are so many breaking points for that quest and mine only broke after I did everything and was leaving the Lesser Zone.

[blissful nova]

Maybe zalissya just doesnt want our help

[fast ermine]

Gave me hope and ripped it away

[golden vine]

is there some kind of successful radio mesasge if u manage to save them?

like when leaving the zone?

[fast ermine]

Yeah. They say for all satlkers to go there because its been saved

[golden vine]

oh okay

[fast ermine]

Then I got a second message 2 seconds leter saying nevermind we all died

[restive axle]

^ lol

WE'RE SAVED! -> WE'RE DEAD!

[golden vine]

xD

[proud prawn]

So we just need to wait for another week for a fix, yeah?

[fast ermine]

Exactly. I laughed, I cried, I alt F4'd

[restive axle]

hopefully only a week @proud prawn
considering we just waited our "week" and got a patch that did not fix it lol

[dull matrix]

Or you can get both prompts. We're dead. Don't come! -> Nevermind we're saved. Everyone come here! -> Except you Scif you suck don't come back.

[wary crane]

i ran into that invisible kill trigger just now, bummed me out

[golden vine]

some1 suggested to keep it just before talking to Gaffer after killing Uncle Lyonya

i think im gonna do that

and finish it when a fix comes

[wary crane]

at first i thought the loners had killed them, then loaded a save and followed them, watched them drop dead

[west pike]

Might wanna hold out on talking to hamster as well then. Considering he falls over dead

[golden vine]

nah, i think he's optional seems u can kill him and still get the completion

its about the resources not him joining right?

[west pike]

Well if you wanna keep him as a trader

[golden vine]

right, i don't care

u can sell stuff to Warlock

[west pike]

true

[blissful nova]

Same honestly.

[golden vine]

and cba going back to that moment

[blissful nova]

Some Npc Is stuck in the damn door now. I have to squeeze past him every time. Takes like 3 minutes.

I wish we could just push NPC’s.

[golden vine]

ye it will take few more weeks to get Stalker 2 to trully playable game

[blissful nova]

Honestly, hasn’t been this bad for me until today. Besides having that damn quest weapon still stuck in my inventory. damn you uninvited guests!

[golden vine]

or may i say enjoyable? Cause if main story is all fixed then it should be somewhat fine

ah yeah, its just that stupid Zalyssia for me at the moment haha

[blissful nova]

Yeah I’ve got 2 shock collars, 1 weapons, and 4 PDA’s along with some keys.

Can’t get rid of them and have no idea where they go

[golden vine]

well Hamster used to buy them haha

the collars

[blissful nova]

https://tenor.com/view/sheit-well-damn-shoot-gif-14886314

Rip

Maybe he should stop running into the door and dying

[hasty ocean]

Hi, even after the update the quest to save Zalissya still seems buggy, I did the 1st part but the second part where there is the attack does not start.

[blissful nova]

Correct

Just finish off the old man and don’t talk to gaffer

[proud prawn]

Welcome aboard

[hasty ocean]

ok im not alone happy to know it 😂

[blissful nova]

It’s like where they “save” bikini bottom but the worm falls on it anyways.

[proud prawn]

its even funnier because I got the achievement for helping Zalissya survivng the attack

[blissful nova]

Same

[hasty ocean]

yes same

[digital pilot]

yea. But if you wander off - it'll still fall

[muted veldt]

m4rkin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[thorny raft]

how is zalissya still not working

im just gonna let them fall at this point

i waited a whole week for it to not work, atleast i got the achievement even though i didnt even help them

[pseudo agate]

Sooo saving Zalissya still bugged since after doing the whole first part the 2nd wave doesnt seem to hit

[thorny raft]

so like the npcs are invincible too?

[pseudo agate]

no the 2 monolith wave doesnt spawn for me

[thorny raft]

oh

my npcs are just invincible

[cold wadi]

Hamster and his guard die upon walking into the town hall door

[thorny raft]

guy just tanked 2 mags of saiga

and then killed me

[pseudo agate]

monolith guys died easily for me

[thorny raft]

also when i ran into the barb wire it crashed for me

not once but twice

[pseudo agate]

its just the 2nd wave doesnt seem to spawn even after leaving Zalissya for about 100 meters and then returned only for me to see a peacefull town

[thorny raft]

imma just let them fall to be honest

i alreadz got the achievement

[pseudo agate]

same but still

[stoic gyro]

So disappointing. Waited all week and still bugged

[thorny raft]

not much we can do

im bummed out about it too

[pseudo agate]

same

[stoic gyro]

Do they even QC? Lol

[pseudo agate]

but on the plus side i do notice the other fixes

[thorny raft]

i had hopes they would fix it

but ehh

[thorny raft]

lol good question

[pseudo agate]

like the professors bunker door opening

[stoic gyro]

At this point it's a meme already their QC.

How can you have bugged main quests..

[thorny raft]

i would have too, but my framerate seems to be dropping every few meters lol, even turning the quality to low doesnt help that much

[pseudo agate]

i had a memory leak earlier

but other then my fps is fine

[thorny raft]

some friendly npcs spawned in a house i was in

like right infront of my face too

[pseudo agate]

you know what Zalissya be damned

rookies can go back to rookie village

[deep thorn]

I finished all missions it gave me the achievement I went out it said come back we need help, now Im standing and nothing happens. I tried running out and then zalisya falls, what to do?

[pseudo agate]

same issue

[deep thorn]

quest - on the edge

[thorny raft]

theres like a group merged together too

[stark anvil]

if i ignore the Zalissya quest for now will it auto fail if i go do something else?

[thorny raft]

im 450 meters away from it and nothings happening so far

but it will probably fall if you go far enough away

[gray coral]

Apparently it fails after a certain time but I haven't confirmed it myself so take it with a grain of salt

[stark anvil]

Yeah that is what i heard last week, so i just stopped playing. Thanks for the info. Not sure what to do now

[thorny raft]

yeah it fell

[stark anvil]

maybe they will do a quick hotfix instead of waiting a week again.

[thorny raft]

id honestly just say, continue on not much you can do if you dont wanna wait a week again

[gray coral]

Same dude. I'm waiting till tomorrow in case someone finds a solution overnight but if that's not the case I might just let Zalissya die and proceed. Gonna play through it again anyway once they've patched A-life.

[stark anvil]

maybe ur right. Guess there is always next playthrough

[wet raft]

Has anyone seen a huge surge in CTDs after today's 1.01 patch? I'm getting constant CTD in the "A light at the end of the tunnel" mission as soon as I enter the centre and start running into people. I think I hear a zombie wail and then bam, CTD with a terminal Unreal5 engine error that submits but it keeps happening, I can't proceed. Not entirely sure where to seek advice on this (new to Discord for Stalker official), can anyone guide me where to go or how to reduce CTDs?

[analog frigate]

Anyone see if the random side missions are fixed from the traders? Some of them were bugged and would stay in journal when turned in

[deep thorn]

On the edge - after completing all the sidem issions of bring back ect, quest completed I got achievement thats it. but right after I left zalesya I got it back with task return to zalesya. I got back 3 dudes spawned with guns, and thats it nothign happens, no tasks, no enemies nothing

[restive axle]

Its broke, and hopefully they dont seriously make us wait a whole nother week for something of such importance.

insane to me that we got our first big patch and they couldnt even fix the big softlock quest tied to an entire settlements fate

[deep thorn]

I dont have time to wait, if they wont fix it till tomorrow morning Im just skipping it and so be it.

[queen linden]

Guys is the defending side quest fixed or still? (Talking about zalissya)

[deep thorn]

nope

[plush marsh]

not for me

[queen linden]

wow still?

[deep thorn]

broken but differently now

[queen linden]

bruh

[deep thorn]

for me enemies wont spawn to defent zalesya 😄

[runic chasm]

am i the only one that hears gunshots in zalyssia and not see any enemies

[deep thorn]

same

[tawny pulsar]

same

[queen linden]

Ok another question if i keep going with the main story does the side quest go away?

[deep thorn]

it will fail yes

[runic chasm]

it wi8ll fail and zalyssa will be wiped out

[queen linden]

Nooo

[vapid mortar]

Wow

So console is screwed

🫥

[queen linden]

Soo what’s the deal now

[vapid mortar]

Jeez

[deep thorn]

wait for weeks for next patch or skip I guess

[queen linden]

Wait some more? For the next update?

[deep thorn]

leave it for the next playthrough

[runic chasm]

i tried going to an older save, and avoid it entirely. after doing arena and resting a few times, still failed for me

[vapid mortar]

Poor zalissya

😔

[queen linden]

Even after you have finished it right?

[queen linden]

Probably yea

[runic chasm]

yep

[queen linden]

Im lowkey disappointed now

I mean thx for all the bug fixes but i was waiting for this one specifically

[restive axle]

arguably one of the most important ones lol

[queen linden]

Yea lmao

[upper pebble]

Devs could atleast enable console commands on console, damn

[golden sentinel]

Is zalissya still bugged and impossible to finish without "village is dead" radio message?

[runic chasm]

so far yeah

[crystal crown]

yes, this update is mess. Need to wait for 1.0.2 patch xD

[queen linden]

Yes

[golden sentinel]

It was the only thing I wanted to be fixed on this patch...

[crystal crown]

they fixed first phase, but forget about second

[cold wadi]

I have a G36 spawning in my inventory instead of the monolith wave

[queen linden]

Literally bro

[cold wadi]

[golden sentinel]

I guess because this is first patch, second phase in second patch 😂

[crystal crown]

me too

[tawny pulsar]

me too

[crimson maple]

Yea it seems like it. I can't even get them to come outside of the building to fight

[viral briar]

does hamster dies to you as well when entering the place?

[cold wadi]

The first wave doesn't spawn for me either, they're all dead behind warlock for me

like 5 bodies on top of each other

[crimson maple]

No, eveyone is sitting in the building, both monolith and stalkers

If i walk behind the building against one of the windows, I get a voice line saying that I repelled the attack

[restive axle]

Whats the deal with the Slag Heap radio message that plays around the same time as the broken Zaliyssa quest?
they scream they are under attack but nothing is happening?

[queen linden]

bugs man

happened to me aswell

imma just wait for another update tbh

[crystal crown]

i hope we dont need to wait year

[queen linden]

nah we hope they fix it by the next couple weeks

[crystal crown]

i don't trust him anymore, its mess

[queen linden]

Be patient they’re working hard bro

It’s not easy to fix stuff all around this huge ass map

Just give it time

[simple summit]

you tried to a load an earlier safe that you made after patch?

i had this issue before patch and looks like it was fixed, so when i loaded before entering lesser zone everything was ok

well until the end of the quest

[crimson maple]

Yea I did, I had a save from 2 hours prior that I loaded into after the patch

[spark sequoia]

Zalyssia is gone stalker, push further for now and do a new save when they fix it, this is the way

[crimson maple]

RIP zalyssia, time to push forward

[restive axle]

sunk too much time into this save file to want to burn and turn.
ill wait for the fix lol

[indigo depot]

After completing one of the repetible side activity from the barman, i received the pay but the marker of the mission ramain, any advise ?

[analog frigate]

You on pc? The Xbox update just dropped

[indigo depot]

yes im on pc

[analog frigate]

Damn so they didn’t fix it

I have the same issue with sidorovich

[indigo depot]

did it prevent you from accept other quest from him ?

[analog frigate]

Yeah it does

[tired gulch]

Hi guys anyone know why there no quests in duty base?

[restive axle]

@tired gulch progress main story prob

[tired gulch]

i finished main story man this is my 2nd playthrough except this time i decided to pay them a visit since no quest took me where they are located

[analog frigate]

Is that what’s going on with yours?

[indigo depot]

yes

[analog frigate]

Damn tragedy

[sullen veldt]

some content had to be cut for dlc prob

[fresh dragon]

Did they fix the defend zalaysia mission? So you can side with ||the ward?||

[sullen veldt]

nope

[fresh dragon]

So it’s still impossible to change sides?

[tired gulch]

that's very very dum man,because i feel the game is lacking more side missions

[indigo depot]

i have reloaded before accept the mission (1 hour before), then take the mission, and the bug was gone

[analog frigate]

So load up an old save?

[indigo depot]

yes from before accepting the mission

[analog frigate]

Gotcha. I’ll let you know if it’s fixed for me

Luckily I keep back up saves

[lavish axle]

I gave the religious icon back to Mitya (because it was his family heirloom and the right thing to do), did I miss out on a really cool gun by not giving it to the other guy?

[dense crag]

is zalissya still bugged for other people?
i get the "return to zalissya" quest pop up but nothing happens
light spoilers
||if i don't go to zalyssia it falls
if i leave after going there it falls||

[dense crag]

nah you didn't

[golden vine]

is it possible to keep arena champions gun? The one he uses?

[analog frigate]

Yup. It’s fixed

[wooden shell]

Fixed for me

[vernal yacht]

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with Zalissya? Im in the town questing and havent had issues. Havent played much since launch though, on xbox and PC. Is it a late game problem?

[wooden shell]

Yes it is

So no worries

[vernal yacht]

Thank you appreciate it

[indigo cliff]

If you don't side with Ward it's not bugged?

[golden vine]

yoo, leaving Zalyssia just before talking to Gaffer doesn't work

got to Rostok, did some arena and suddenly got the message its lost

[wooden shell]

You have to reload an earlier save file

Mine was after I got the ermitter

[echo terrace]

Hi! Need some help. I went into Zalyssia, saved the town, did the side quests (surgical tools, hamster, and lyona), got the achivement for it, but when I try to leave the town, I get a radio call about how I need to return, I do that, nothing happens, then go about my business and a little bit after exiting to Garbage I get a radio call about how Zal is now dead. Still bugged?

[indigo cliff]

same for me

[golden vine]

what do you mean? just reload and its fine?

[dense crag]

yeah same

[sonic light]

how far back was your save?

[icy meteor]

same

[wooden shell]

No you have to load a save file way before or when u actually got there the first time

[golden vine]

but... that wont do anything

[wooden shell]

For me it did

[golden vine]

i mean that's what i did after 1.0.1 got released

still had a little bit buggy outcome

(like 2nd wave never happened)

[icy meteor]

im hoping that the fix for the On the Edge quest to start the Zalissya defense is as simple as using a UEtools command to just activate the quest.

[golden vine]

so i loaded after doing all the quests but before talking to Gaffer thinking i can wait with returning it till fix

[echo terrace]

my pre 1.01 save was at Wild Island, did quest there, saved, walked into Lesser Zone, then I did the whole Zalyssia misery

[golden vine]

started do my stuff, and now got bad outcome anyways

[wooden shell]

And if you go back after the zalissya is down message?

like did you check on the town

[golden vine]

technically it wasn't, but i didn't test it far away

[lavish axle]

Thanks, my FOMO is cured

[shut nacelle]

Tried that Zalyssia quest too two times today, with the guide on reddit (but without the cheats, only to open the door) during the defense the spawn locations are also broken. Really had to look for monolith, but succeeded. After next mission: town is still dead. Im fine with it: once dead its always dead.

[golden vine]

i just went to garbage and back

and decided not risking it

[wooden shell]

It's probably just an audio bug

[echo terrace]

no, reloaded the save, but before that I checked map, and the trader & medic icons were now gone

I'll run back and check

[icy meteor]

im very tempted to let this town die and hopefully save it on my next playthrough when they fix it (eventually)

[fresh dragon]

Wym? When I went to ||stop the experiment I sided with strider, so now I’m at the part where I need to get the emitter or defend zalisya, the defending zalisya thing is bugged rn so I’m stuck siding with the monolith||

[echo terrace]

is there supposed to be a second wave of Monolith attack in Zal?

[icy meteor]

i think there's supposed to be like 4 waves

[echo terrace]

ok that never happened to me

[dense crag]

that's what im thinking too

but it's a nice hub to have
although it doesn't seem like it'll matter much with no trader, tech and guide

[bronze scarab]

They havent fixed zalissa bug yet?

[echo terrace]

apparently they only partially fixed it

[icy meteor]

ive spent like 10 hours trying to save this town over the last few days. i want to save it. but im getting very bored of not playing the game

[dense crag]

fixed but not fixed

[bronze scarab]

Just skip it bro and the next run you can save it

[bronze scarab]

How so brother?

[dense crag]

the original bug seems fixed, we're able to progress through the quest and then get stuck at what seems to be the very last part

[analog frigate]

Before I accepted the mission

[echo terrace]

ok, double checked, ran back from garbage. Not an audio bug

[bronze scarab]

So if you save the town, and then leave does it still die or is it chilling

[echo terrace]

still die

[sonic light]

before you walked in the door and gaffer talked to you?

[analog frigate]

Yeah

[sonic light]

damn, no luck on my part. Have done it twice now from a couple different saves

[woeful mica]

same, in my case hamster dies to a killzone in the main building

[echo terrace]

oh that's another thing. I bribe hamsters guard, they walk in, as if all is good, but when I return he apparently dies (?)

[indigo cliff]

they die just as they enter through a door

[supple sage]

He dies when he enters the building its bugged

attack never does start for me either way

[indigo cliff]

yes, when you leave the town you get a message that the town is dead

[keen kernel]

oh good so its not just me lmao

eh, with the guide dead and apprently no npc replacement for him, kinda a useless town ngl

[dense crag]

i refuse to let foreigner bob die

[keen kernel]

oh no i getcha i can be the same way
im just sayin dont let it burn you out

lol

[dense crag]

he has to live

currently running around trying to figure out if the attack spawned in but got stuck somewhere but im not finding shit

[muted veldt]

squigg_les has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spark sequoia]

guys where is Jupiter now?

[dense crag]

gaffer telling you to frick off if you shoot one of the defenders still works though

[keen kernel]

not likely i was using UE tool earlier to nuke the whole area of any hostile npcs and nothing changed

[dense crag]

ugh

[golden vine]

ye i tried shooting the 3 stuck stalkers as well haha

[keen kernel]

another, amusing, bug i notcied

is that one of the stalker forcibly equips me with a freee G6

after walking by him

[tropic grotto]

If I'm not mistaken west side o the map south of Pripyat

[fast ermine]

Is it still okay after doing this?

[soft spindle]

Yhe did the main missions its all right the town is stuck in limbo at the moment

[fast ermine]

Alright. I guess thats what I am going to do for now.

[keen kernel]

nice to know my packrat save behavior continue to prove useful

[golden vine]

okay i have last trick to play with Zalyssia - does anyone knows how emissions work in this game? Are they time based?

i know some of them happen with certain parts of the story

[nova bramble]

So probably been here already On the edge swcond vave do not trigger? Any idea how to finish it? I am on vonsole so no vonsole command for me

[fast ermine]

SAME. Now im keeping a save between every step of that quest. lol

[cerulean sluice]

So is the general consensus that you can only semi complete the quest. Hamster gets killzoned if you do the supply stuff and turning in the mission loses the town. Correct so far?

[golden vine]

wait you guys are talking about not turning to Gaffer after killing Uncle? That doesn't work

[keen kernel]

just dont turn it in after killing the guide for now

[nova bramble]

Thanks

[fast ermine]

?

[sonic light]

You guys are talking about the second wave, but I haven't seen a first wave

[golden vine]

that's what i did, i went to do main story in Rostok and suddenly Gaffer said Zalyssia is lost

i think Zalyssia is lost no matter what you do

[sonic light]

Some people claim to have defended it

[nova bramble]

Well that's not good

[golden vine]

well idk maybe, just sharing that i did the hold 2nd wave strat and it didn't work for me

[cerulean sluice]

I haven’t even had an attack trigger

[golden vine]

now im actually here cause i reloaded to a point before Gaffer says its all lost and went back and return the q

[fast ermine]

Its possible for sure. This quest is breaking at so many different parts for different people. For instance, mine worked perfect. I completed the quest, got the achievement, was leaving lesser zone and they radio that Zali was lost.

[golden vine]

at least now i had SEVA suit for all the trouble i did, even if its lost 😄

i kinda want to wait for an emission to see how these NPCs will behave

[sonic light]

@fast ermine that was the case before the patch as well

[golden vine]

and if that doesn't idk magically unlock something

[nova bramble]

I get achuvembt before a second attack

[golden vine]

ye its intended way i think

or not? no clue

[fast ermine]

Yup. Im kinda sad because I got to this part yesterday and didnt know it was broken. Wouldve just never went beyond SIRCAA

[woeful mica]

yep

[agile vine]

i got 2 sevas lol

[golden vine]

aye there's room with 3 armors in that building and one of them is seva right?

[cerulean sluice]

Wow, chalked. Guess we can wait for next patch 🤣

[agile vine]

ye

[sonic light]

I loaded a save after killing uncle and now I see him marked on the map as a hostile guide

[agile vine]

what minimap

[sonic light]

I mean on the map

[fast ermine]

Press ~, duh. lol

[agile vine]

weirdly enough once i get to the defense marker it gives me a broken G36 and nothing beyond that

[fast ermine]

Yeah. Bugged quest triggers are giving people items

[golden vine]

ye f*ck it, im leaving Zalyssia defence for my Ward playthrough

[agile vine]

LMAOOO I WAS JUST TYPING THE SAME THING

[golden vine]

😄

[dense crag]

oh thats where that came from

[pastel summit]

Is there a way to fix it with console, or nah so far?

[agile vine]

bye bye Zalissya

[fast ermine]

I think you can TP yourself out of Lesser Zone with UETools

Hvent messed around with it, but there is a pinned comment somewhere

Here, actually

[pastel summit]

Nice, I see it.

I don't want to put the game down but at the same time I don't want to loose the town 😐

[agile vine]

wtf is weird ball

ayyy this is cool

[golden vine]

well blame GSC

or Microsoft, or both

[fast ermine]

Thanks, Obama

[median roost]

The side quest "In the name of science"
Is bugged When ever i get near "The Brood" the mutant that im supposed to get the collar from, when i collect it the quest maker stay there as if there is another mutant (which there isnt)

[agile vine]

holy shit a tunde- grom.

[keen kernel]

still triggers the town death

[fast ermine]

Boooooooooo

[dusk jewel]

Is there a way to raise the reputation with Freedom? I did the quest for Barkeep, but it only raised the reputation for him, not for Freedomers.

I feel like that quest should've raised my reputation with Freedom, but GSC forgor 💀 that Barkeep is assigned to Loner faction, not Freedom

[somber nexus]

Is Zalyssia rescue mission still borked, even though I waited for patch to do swamp and SIRCAA?

[keen kernel]

correct sir

[dusk jewel]

slav coding

[pastel summit]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-shadow-of-chernobyl-shadow-of-chernobyl-chornobyl-chernobyl-gif-3707974255428954678

Best type of coding.

[keen kernel]

a second bug has hit zalyssia

:V

[vague helm]

Everything went well but the second attack doesn't show up does somebody know a work around ;w;

[keen kernel]

the current consensus is no

[fast ermine]

Not even GSC has a workaround. 😦

[vague helm]

damn

[pastel summit]

My only workaround is to sit in a corner and cry.

[somber nexus]

thinking about using uetools to complete the save zalyssia side quest before I get there

[fast ermine]

GL

[vague helm]

Well in that chase I say f gaffer and his goonies

[somber nexus]

found this https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz8kia/zalissya_defence_guide_using_uetools/

[pastel summit]

I wonder what causes some poeple to just not encounter this issue.

[vague helm]

Also I think hamster was killed by the door? lol

[pastel summit]

Same for me... I reloaded and told him to sit on his ass

[pastel summit]

Yeah, but there's no fix for second defence (the one from point #3)

the attack does not occur for a lot of people

[somber nexus]

well, as long as I never set foot in LZ again, everyone is alive and well right? shrodinger's zalyssia

[pastel summit]

I tried leaving the town in different directions, and waiting a lot of time before returning. Does not seem to matter.

Right now I'm trying the classic "reinstall" tactic :V

[slender pawn]

so the second wave in Zaliessie doesnt spawn, anything I can do with it, or I should just let this base die?

[pastel summit]

nothing so far

people are trying to find workaround

hopefully GSC knows about this

👀

[hybrid rover]

does three captains sidequest in sultanst now auto completes?

[slender pawn]

ok just let them burn...

[rich pike]

Hi there is this were devs answer questions. Thanks josh

[somber nexus]

wait so are you supposed to explore the entire freaking zone before SIRCAA to do all the side quests?

[pastel summit]

👀 I hope not.

[arctic pine]

are there any cool side quests for freedom other than the one barkeep gives?

just played the cooling towers mission for duty where you have to defend a spot. they treated me well after that mission and i became Green relations with them, all started to call me soldier/friend

[iron tiger]

Have the devs said anything about the still broken zalissya quest?

[opaque sorrel]

idk I just experienced it myself, almost fully completed it, until it tells me to return to Zaliyssa to "Defend it" so I did and nothign happens, no enemy, friendlys are just idle. Warlock wont speak to me or the boss man...

submitted a bug report idk if they respond to those but at least they'll see it

its a shame they didn't thoroughly test the quest

[ripe aspen]

yea that happens to me too, a shame since i waited for the patch to try and save zalyssia

[iron tiger]

Yeah same. I just reloaded a save before I re-entered the lesser zone so it stays safe till there's a fix.

[opaque sorrel]

I might just continue with the game tbh

i got some alright loot i guess youtube will be the way I experience what happens post (if anything does)

[ripe aspen]

The main quest sends me to the lesser zone, so i think ill just let it burn and save it on another playtrough

[iron tiger]

Same, I'm trying to wait it out. I'm already planning on a second playthrough when Alife is fully implemented

[ripe aspen]

i Think im even gettinf a damaged Fora on my inventory, which i assume is from a monolith who failed to spawn

[vapid mortar]

IMO, play without Zal your first run. Yes it sucks that you’re missing out on that base for the rest of the game but I’m pretty sure after on the edge your “priority” or missions shouldn’t even be there anymore.

[ripe aspen]

yea, they cant even upgrade my gear anymore so its a fair take

[vapid mortar]

Bec you need to enter the sphere I think, which triggers the lesser zone stuff

[opaque sorrel]

did anyone also fail the "Eliminate Monoltihian scouts" optional objective? Like for me it said success, but once it said "Defend Zaliyssa" and nothing happened, i checked my objectives and its marked as failed, even though npcs thanked me for clearing them out prior.

[vapid mortar]

I think those are the guys up top by the hill/grave thing

[iron tiger]

Yep same

[pastel summit]

Well I'm not sure how big is their testing team, but it could just be your typical case of "Weird it works for me".
Assuming they have really big testing team of around 50 dedicated testers (which is unlikely based on my experience) it's only 0,0005% of "players" if we assume that 1 million people are playing the game...

[brittle thorn]

Trying to enter agroprom tunnels through the OG entrance. Won't let me climb down ladder?

[opaque sorrel]

could be, but afaik everyone has had issues with zaliyssa, hamster and his guard die through the doors, eliminate monothlian scouts marked as failed near the end even though its success.
and the final objective doesnt start

idk how they could miss all of that

[pastel summit]

I've found this: ||https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h2vfuh/how_to_fix_zalissya_second_wave_bug/|| not sure if it will help. I think I will try it.

[vapid mortar]

(Console people we are screwed atm)

[iron tiger]

Let us know

[pastel summit]

Yeah, majority of people had the issue. But maybe they did not expect it to be this broken for that many people

[vapid mortar]

They forgot to turn the brain scorcher off for us 😔

[opaque sorrel]

the guy says in edit that once you get to chem plant it still "falls". idk if that truely fixes it, but please let us know

[vapid mortar]

Yep

No matter what

Bye bye zal

[somber nexus]

i mean that place was a backwater doodoo hole anyways rite?

[vapid mortar]

As a duty follower, the less, the better.

[rigid juniper]

Wonder why zallysia keeps breaking for them. Guess too many objectives going on with different Ai.
Replied to the wrong person oops.

[pastel summit]

😄

[opaque sorrel]

tbh Zaliyssa seems like the biggest side quest i've done/experienced so far. it should be given a lot more attention. anyway im gonna let them all die, no saving these guys

[vapid mortar]

I would say it is and it should have fortunately it’s just side.

It’s sucks that for the missions around “on the edge” the fact you can’t use that base is a hassle

[somber nexus]

does doing The Hornet's Nest MQ mess with Zaliy?

[opaque sorrel]

nah its the chem plant that does

[vapid mortar]

Your forced to run to either slag, Icarus or rostok

[somber nexus]

Isn't Icarus toast after Sircaa?

[rigid juniper]

Is there another objective after you complete warlocks side mission and kill Uncle Lonya in the zalysa quest? to save the town?

[vapid mortar]

Mine was fine

Oh god did I get bugged there too?

[golden vine]

i think its not if u destroyed the device

[vapid mortar]

💀

[somber nexus]

Interesting. My Icarus is uh, populated by zombs

[golden vine]

yup mine as well, i sided with the scientist

[timber wharf]

Couldn't complete Zaliyssa - On the Edge. Finished all objectives except "Return to the Gaffer". He just sits there, unresponsive. Rolled back to an earlier save -- same result.

[somber nexus]

oh dang. I just disabled the thing, didn't destroy it 🤦‍♂️

[vapid mortar]

Yep.

[rigid juniper]

I got the achievement on xbox for defending zalyssia on xbox weird

[somber nexus]

who needs Icarus anyways with Beard's crappy boat

[vapid mortar]

Other than “story” stuff and a place to rest Zal shouldn’t be a bigger hindrance than that for people playing

[final pike]

just be prepared missions after zalisya can bug out too - i am having an issue with the main mission afterwards and the helicopter wont land

[somber nexus]

lol damn I shouldn't have killed Solder either 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

[vapid mortar]

💀

[somber nexus]

lol this game, they make your decisions count

[vapid mortar]

Them IGN walk throughs be saving

😭

[somber nexus]

with icarus, wild island shelter, and zal gone, it's pretty painful to keep gear repaired eh

[vapid mortar]

Depends

[somber nexus]

I guess cordon isn't too far off the path

[vapid mortar]

What ya wearing

Weapons, I’d go for eh freedom guys. Duty I’ve seen some good repair costs for armor

[frigid bobcat]

In cheamical plant thre is a quest to find artifact by one of the guards. So i went there and got the artifatct, Game still tells me i dont have it and i cant complete it. Is it bugged or is there another artifact that i cant detect?

[vapid mortar]

But from what I’ve seen at least, anything with -D is typically duty’s and is cheaper when working with their own faction. Same I think with freedom and the V or F series.

[golden vine]

is there anything interesting in the zone where you save Moth from a bloodsucker? The technician from Scar faction told me there's a secret here but i've been running around for like 30 minutes and can't find anything but bunch of stashes and SEVA5 suit. I also found a freedom dude who had a short scene with a stalker which he killed

[summer comet]

Same, did not matter how far back I loaded... Guess I'm not finishing the quest at all

Managed to talk to him, but now I'm bugged at the second wave not triggering, I walk out of town, get called back to Zalissya, return, and nothing

Some new npcs show up to help defend the place but no monolithian shows up

I hope the main quest I put off isn't bugged this time

[urban matrix]

after the patch I could finally finish the save Zalissya quest but when I pay hamsters bodyguard and both decide to go in the main building they die as soon as they cross the door. anyone else having this issue?

[summer comet]

Also, hamster is randomly dead, before the patch in my save he was alive in the building, now he's dead

[opaque sorrel]

yeah idk what happened but hamster and his guard just die at the town hall doors lol

[errant fern]

does any know if the arena quests are locked behind the story quest? I was trying to grind out the arena quest but it stopped progressing for me.

[lean summit]

Is it worth keeping zal? Bugged at the end n there's no 2nd attack coming. Does it impact anything other than an a trader and fast travel?

[blazing schooner]

hello any idea how to fix Zalissya defend quest?

[opaque sorrel]

PSA there's no saving zaliyssa no matter what you do atm. Even with mods it'll still fall. It's got a few bugs within it. I.e. objective(s) failing moments after finishing them. Hamster dies no matter what.
2nd wave doesn't start

And no afaik it doesn't impact the game much or at all. You lose fast travel either way I think.

[lean summit]

Fair enough. I've been trying to get it saved but I'm about to just cut my losses on it. Spent too much time on it

[pastel summit]

RiP starter Village

[lean summit]

Rip to the loners

[pastel summit]

There's one last thing that I'm trying and then I'll probably kick them goodbye. I still plan to go through the game again but with another faction...
So...
I wonder what will happen when I'll downgrade the game to day0 Patch

[mossy tapir]

they even managed to break the community hacks to get it working. amazin

[keen hinge]

zaliyssa quest still bugged XD i held off the game specifically for this quest to be fixed. played 30 min and bugged again is this a fkn JOKE????????????

[digital burrow]

The "just like old times" mission is still blocked, I have to talk to the Dr even though I know I need to do a few things first, but when I talk to him there's no way of continuing the quest...
This game is really starting to get on my nerves!

[gritty plaza]

there is only five battles: ||2v2,mutants,1v7,chimera,shotgun man that cheats||

[digital burrow]

When I finished the quest, I was called back for the second attack but I didn't get anything. I concluded that it was because I killed the traitor when I searched his house.

[lapis raft]

Everyone who is having issues Saving Zalyssia, this is because your still on an OLD save with OLD code overlapping the new code, Because Stalker 2 isn't an online game, your just updating the game only not your save files, delete your save files(as much as this sucks) and go make a new one, otherwise you won't fully benefit from the patch and see the changes, OR just finish the game on your current save as you only have 3 main quests left and do a 2nd playthrough

[gritty plaza]

ok

[fossil hornet]

If I let Zalissya fall just to keep playing the game is there any long term ramifications or rewards I miss out on?

[pastel summit]

From what I heard it's only guilt.

But can You deal with that guilt?

[summer comet]

If you're an achievement hunter, there's a trophy attached, but you probably unlocked it after attempting the quest before the patch

[fossil hornet]

At that point I might as well kill everyone here myself and get the loot

[summer comet]

Otherwise, best I can tell, Zalissya doesn't get a new guide anyway

I'll just ditch the quest and move onto the main quests

[shut depot]

Complete the quests as far as you can as there is an item you get for competing and a trophy

[fossil hornet]

yeah i got the achievement from before so im gonna slaughter them for their stuff and mvoe on

[fathom wedge]

man i hope this side quest a matter of science is going to be worth it. i wondered around the brain scorcher looking for this monster, only to learn a merc had it. and he wants me to go from one edge of the zone to the other then back to another edge chasing after these monsters. i better get something good for my effort.

[shut depot]

You get a ||seva suit|| from gaffer so grab that before letting the town fall

[fossil hornet]

Heads up: you cannot kill everyone at the town for their loot. One of the Seva suit defenders has infinite health
