❔┃side-quests

[pulsar lake]

wait

they still die?

[past helm]

SEND HIM OUTSIDE DURING A EMISSION.

[novel furnace]

Yeah I tried 3 different ways and they always die

[pulsar lake]

welp, like i said

[muted veldt]

slmslurpy has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[novel furnace]

But at least doing it the way I just completed makes it work properly

[blissful nova]

You know for a “side mission” it really gives off main mission vibes

[novel furnace]

For real

[pulsar lake]

il just explore the zone, i heard that settlements get ran over by monolith after sirka

[pulsar lake]

yea but no trader so it sucks

[vernal vortex]

the annoying thing is it locks the entirety of zalissya behind it

like why

[novel furnace]

Warlock still trades but no weapons or ammo.

[blissful nova]

But you can’t really do anything about it. Because it’s a forced “side mission”

[novel furnace]

There are better traders out there anyways Hamster is last of my worries lol

[blissful nova]

Same. But I’d like to save the place.

[soft tree]

Anyone experienced UI bug? There's 🔒 UI on the center of my screen and it won't go away

[vernal vortex]

how could you just brush the hampter away like that???

[drifting cedar]

I believe its time based if you leave without saving the place for too long its lost

[novel furnace]

He was a douche that didnt care about his community hes lucky i didnt kill him myself

[novel furnace]

Correct

[drifting cedar]

lost like 1-2 hour of gameplay cause of this

[vernal vortex]

i feel like the zalissya mission should be a main quest not just a little side quest

[drifting cedar]

true

[novel furnace]

I agree

[blissful nova]

I mean

[drifting cedar]

it seems kinda important

[novel furnace]

But either way yall i can confirm that using the command with the "XStartQuest E07_SQ01" at the door and finishing it will save Zal WITHOUT Hamster alive lol

[blissful nova]

I’m just scared that a future update will mess with those kind of saves. Irrational, I realize.

[drifting cedar]

it is crazy they drop a patch fixing simular issues yet leaving this one still broken

[blissful nova]

They dropped a patch damn near specifically for this.

[drifting cedar]

im kinda softlocked until its fixed i would like everyone alive

[novel furnace]

I hope not but I did make two saves just in case

[drifting cedar]

yeah lmao

well they will fix it we just have to wait

sadly

[pulsar lake]

does anyone know what happens to the zone itself( like changes in locations and such ) after the sircaa mission?

[drifting cedar]

I just got back to the game after waiting for them to fix the bunker door being locked shut too

[drifting cedar]

that is mission where your in the big science museam thing with dalin right?

[pulsar lake]

ye

what happens after you leave

[drifting cedar]

monolith awakening

[pulsar lake]

no no

like are there any changes besides zassilya?

like should i visit rostok and other places before entering sircaa?

[drifting cedar]

uh i heard over radio slag was attack idk havent been there

[drifting cedar]

rostok and duty base are fine

[pulsar lake]

aight, thx

il just do the quest and let hamster die then

[drifting cedar]

zaton boat places seem fine

wild island is of course lost

[pulsar lake]

ye

[drifting cedar]

I believe thats all

might change more im only up to saving zassilya

[lean summit]

Slag is fine

[drifting cedar]

ah ok thank you

[lean summit]

Was just there from a guide. Everything was fine inside

[drifting cedar]

speaking on rostok i was in there little armory place and i saw rpd which isnt usable but fully modelled

[novel furnace]

Just went back to Zal to confirm everyone is alive and they are including the Tech so if you need repairs and stuff

[drifting cedar]

wouldnt it have made more sense to have the rpd as the lmg as it is actually in 762x39 and not the pkm?

[foggy wasp]

anyone finished on the edge after today update? can you save hamster or does he die anyway?

[drifting cedar]

its still bugged

the one thing they didnt fix

[iron tiger]

Is on the edge still bugged?

[foggy wasp]

well, i guess im letting him die in this playthrough

[drifting cedar]

my ass gonna sit here and wait till this shit fixed I will not let these little rats die

[chilly ferry]

Did anyone manage to save freedom guy in red forest?

[pliant patrol]

arena bug still isn't fixed

[amber lotus]

Let’s goo finally was able to do zalyssia on Xbox it’s a pretty fun quest I’m glad it was fixed finally, thx devs

[lean summit]

Gaffer said not to come back but I can take a guide there. I havnt attempted to go back

[foggy wasp]

what bug is this? i did this quest today with no problems

[amber lotus]

Milk died for me does anyone know if he’s important or not or is he just a random stalker

[mighty kernel]

Even if you deescalate Hamster by bribing his guard both he and his bodyguard instantly drop dead when entering the bar.

I've just posted a video of this behavior here #📸┃screens_and_videos message

[novel furnace]

Not to come back? Did you kill someone?

[novel furnace]

I think hes a rando, I havent seen him until then.

[pliant patrol]

permanently stuck on round 4

[foggy wasp]

For me it works fine, PC gamepass

Maybe try earlier save

[pliant patrol]

I can't lmfao

I did the mission in the beginning of the game

I'm at sircaa

[foggy wasp]

Oh :d

[spare mica]

arena opens back up after completing sircaa main quest, dont know why

[lean summit]

Oh no. I was bugged with Zalissya and just went to rostok to do scars part and when I loaded in after the patch today, gaffer said the town was saved, thanked me, the obj completed. Then immediately after it failed and he said to not come back

Claimed I shot someone even though I had everyone saved

[pliant patrol]

oh sick, thanks

apparently you can't sprint in exoskeletons

[runic ocean]

Mine got stuck at wave 4. Slept like 10 times didnt work thought oh well... did 1 main quest then poof worked again

[runic ocean]

He does die but once you fight the second attack leave the village and come back he is in the hall alive again

[mighty kernel]

ok thanks ill check next time im back in Zalissya

[runic ocean]

Make sure you save the village from the 2nd attack and get the audio saving the village is safe when you leave. You can check on pda map if the village has 2 traders then he is alive again.

[mighty kernel]

do they have a new guide there after the town is saved too?

[runic ocean]

No dont think so. I know you can get a guide there but not back... unless there is a npc that comes in later ?

[turbid narwhal]

About as fixed as Elemental is without holes...
That sounded way better in my head XD

[turbid narwhal]

You can

You jsut have to buy the upgrades

there is like ONE exoskeleton that you cant sprint in

[mighty kernel]

I came back and Hamster still isn't there, only Warlock

[pliant patrol]

why is the chemical plant partly hostile?

all the outside guys are friendly but if I try to move in they start attacking

[pliant patrol]

is it cuirass? that's the one I have

[lean summit]

Small update with Zalissya. After today's patch, I got both messages over radio from gaffer 1st saying thanks and Zalissya was saved and 2nd that it wasn't and not to come back. I went back and everyone is alive and is fine with me. These anomalies are getting weird

[turbid narwhal]

Bingo

[pliant patrol]

ok I'm just gonna sell it lmao

[novel furnace]

Wow thats weird. Not sure why. I did the Zalissya mission first before I did the Sphere or Scar quest

[reef flame]

I still can't go in the building during the "On the edge quest". When I reach Zalissya, there are stalkers outside the building saying "We held them off" but the door is still locked. I also didn't see any enemies while arriving in Zalissya. Is there a way I can make it work?

[novel furnace]

you on xbox or pc?

[reef flame]

PC

[novel furnace]

Sweet. So I tried 3 different ways the only way that worked for me, and ive been helping a lot in here today, is downloading UETools so you can get the command line to work. Then go to the door and type in this command "XStartQuest E07_SQ01" That will make the Monolith pop up and attack. Take them out then the door will unlock.

[opaque sorrel]

Same lol it played like every dialogue possible. Checked my quest logs and I failed because I wasn't in the starting zone anymore. Thanked me, said they defended it, then said he never wants to see me again, and that it's fallen lol all in 1 minute

[novel furnace]

Only problem is because the quest is bugged is as soon as Hamster will die no matter what way you use which isnt no big deal.

[opaque sorrel]

Idk why they are rushing patches they need to chill out, would rather a fully fixed quest.

Hamster dies no matter what, and the snipers on the hill even if you finish that, it'll eventually be marked as failed

[novel furnace]

I did the way I just told Caliber and I was able to complete the second wave and get the achievement and never got a failed mission or anything

[opaque sorrel]

I got rewarded for it and all. Checked journal near the end and it was marked as failed

[opaque sorrel]

I think it wouldn't of failed but I wasn't in lower zone come 2nd patch. So it just must've realised I'm outside of it and bugged and acted like I left them

[novel furnace]

Very possible

[shy raven]

@novel furnace does hamster ||drop dead as soon as he comes inside the church ||? cause it still happens to me

[opaque sorrel]

played a lot of voice lines before saying don't come back, you shot at us or something (which I didn't)

[novel furnace]

Yeah all 3 ways I tried happened everytime

[shy raven]

fk 🥲

[opaque sorrel]

I heard hamster revives sometimes if you manage to finish it

[shy raven]

and if we leave him ||in the basement does he live ? can we still trade with him ?||

[novel furnace]

Ill have to go back and check when I finish this mission just to see

[novel furnace]

I didnt try that worth a shot

[shy raven]

i'll try tomorrow, but if you try in the mean time, pls, keep us updated ! 🙏

[novel furnace]

For sure, I will try it because I have a separate save when I was testing out stuff so I can go back and try it

[shy raven]

thx a lot mate !!

[novel furnace]

Anytime

[minor solstice]

For me he just disappears, cant even enter the basement

[obtuse iron]

Is hamster still dying?

[fierce crow]

So I just finished the 'Good ol' Days' mission and when i get close to Zalyssia I get a radio call saying they are being attacked but I DONT get any new side quest yet there is one available in the ward office but when i arrive there dead monos everywhere some invisible gunshots and the door to where everyone is at is locked what am I supposed to do

[iron tiger]

Have you updated the game?

[fierce crow]

yeah and I logged on today and started doing the good ol' days quest from the start

idk what to do

[iron tiger]

That's rough Idk either. Maybe just keep reloading saves till it works?

[fierce crow]

how far back do i have to reload? just right before I hear the radio broadcast?

[iron tiger]

I'm just guessing here but maybe start reloading to before you get to teh town and if that doesnt work, reload later saves

[fierce crow]

did you get yours to work?

[inland coral]

Post SIRCAA, after doing stuff/getting emitter at the noontide base.. am I supposed to be constantly under PSI attack? If I don't pop a pill every 60 seconds I'm getting swarmed by conjured enemies. :\ I feel like I'm bugged, there's no controller/etc I can find

[drifting cedar]

you seem to be having a bug. I didnt have this issue. only psi i dealt with was in the emitter room

if i have a bug with something not ending i just revert to a old save before doing the mission and retry it till it fixes

I had a infinite emission when the scripted emission happened after faust has his schizo rant to noon

I just did it again and it fixed

so maybe might work?

[granite trout]

I have the exact same issue after the patch a few stalkers sit outside and talk to me (before nobody was around at all) but the doors still locked and no enemies spawn, i loaded a save back at the mission before and still didn’t work and now my saves are gone for some reason

[odd dome]

how do i kill the controller?

[warm ravine]

So, paid off the 7K to the bandits on Bullseye mission, the 3 guys teleport in front of my eyes, found them later near a fire in the surroundings, and then going back to Beard says I didn't save anyone... Bug or did I miss something here?

[fierce crow]

yea i guess we just have to wait for a patch if this new bug is even something on their radar

[granite trout]

Yeah I’m ragin cause I just want to play the game man I was loving up until this point 😂

[fierce crow]

same

[clear vortex]

So the armour vendor in Rostok had the exoskeleton armour. Decided not to get it yet. Left for a bit. Came back. Wanted it. She didn’t have it anymore. Laaaaaame. The vendors change????

[woeful hare]

I seemed to have found a "fix" for my issue with the arena quest being stuck on waiting for round 4. ||I just completed the quests where you go into the sircaa hq and i am now back outside and finished the conversation with richter. || Maybe you just need to progress through the main story a bit to progress the arena quests. Eitherway that fixed it for me.

[loud hare]

So I'm finally able to make it to the final fight for "On the edge," but after Gaffer calls everybody back inside he has no new dialogue. Nothing happens. Any suggestions? I'm on Xbox

[analog frigate]

I kept reloading my save and it eventually worked

Does anyone know if zalissya returns to normal after defending it?

[cedar raft]

It was more like a cry, not asking for help technically :D, only zalisia and garbage people actually asked for help

[cedar raft]

yes, if you win two waves, but normal in stalker way, not it was like before

[heady tide]

holy necro reply

[clever drift]

hi where do I post a problem for a sidequest

such a defense of zalissya

I may or not have found the issue

if anything :
Bug report:
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h3ocfk/comment/lzse8b6/?context=3

Patch 1.02. Going to Zalissya
Bug
I get the first call from gaffer, Something is going on at the sphere, and I need to meet them at the bar. (765 ish meters (I'm coming from slagheap main road using energy drinks to keep running non stop).

I keep running towards zalissya and like not even 100 meters, Gaffer makes another call and says that they need all the help they can get, they cant hold em back. (Mind you i'm at 388meters away). (Essentially both calls are back to back as I'm sprinting the whole time (drinking energy drinks)

I get there, the pharmacist is alive, the bar is destroyed,

r/stalker - Patch 1.02. Going to Zalissya
its like i'm after the fight and I missed the battle. one guy (sitting stalker) is next to the entrance leading to the door to gaffen and he tells me to go talk to gaffen they'll share their supplies.

r/stalker - Patch 1.02. Going to Zalissya
4) Go to the door, it isnt open, the prompt is greyed out.

Further info : The quest never actually started, I have a sidequest marker, but when I get both calls, theres no ''quest / quest update/follow up in the journal.

I tried the UEtools and nothing changes.

r/stalker - Patch 1.02. Going to Zalissya
Its bugged.
what is going on.
Anyone else got this issue?

[heady tide]

it's still bugged?

[clever drift]

yes

hold up i'm trying to paste

[heady tide]

man oh man, I'm on my 2nd playthrough, thanks for the heads up

[clever drift]

but essentially its a problem

easy to fix imo

the fail trigger is within the ''acknowledge trigger''

which means you accept then fail the quest

[cedar raft]

seems it is still bugged, i got to this point day before patch, i was able to solve it with UETools by just teleporting straigh to Zalisia and doing weird shit in redit post

[clever drift]

@cedar raft did you have the first call ?

[heady tide]

yeah that solution came from a fellow stalker who posted it right here in this channel first

[clever drift]

or you did it before the first call

[cedar raft]

i was near ex-monolithian base when i decided to go for a sell in zalisia, on its border i got a call, and same....but in my case it was i went to town and i could not get to school where everyone was with monotlith

[clever drift]

from wheat I've seen is that the quest is an openworld quest, but based on a linear progression, and the triggers are messed up or the tech (within GSC) doesnt have it

[clever drift]

so you didnt follow the mainquest?

[cedar raft]

yes, after failing to get to town, i went to finish main quest part in ex-monolithian base and after that i went again, but it was same result. i am pretty sure you have to finish first that quest in ex-monolithian base before going to town

[clever drift]

I'm asking because if you look at the world logic, once you've followed the ''main quest'' and exit the sphere arc : you are here

[cedar raft]

no, sphere i think is later, first should come saving a town

[clever drift]

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fpatch-1-02-going-to-zalissya-v0-sthy14pzt44e1.png%3Fwidth%3D1857%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daf414053473cff75ef53cc18c9b631730eba59cf

[cedar raft]

but it is not main quest which is weird ....

[clever drift]

even if its not main quest

it can be affected by it

because its part of the mainquest path

[heady tide]

he's right, after going to the shelter to get the first emitter, you need to go to the sphere for the other one, but by proximity should technically come across zalissya first

[clever drift]

look at my reddit post, you'll see what I mean, once you finish the main path, zalissya is straight between you and scar

[cedar raft]

well logically i got sphere after i completed ex-monolithian base, so town is on its way soo kind of a side quest? so if you do that all other traders are intact

if UETools still works I would recommend just use that to eliminate this problem, not sure if it still works, i am not using it, just to remove blockers, like I could not talk with Lodachka in his bunker

[clever drift]

even with UE tools

you fail the sidequest

because you're spawning in the fail trigger

[cedar raft]

no you don't, wait i will find a link

[clever drift]

its essentially a '' enter accept quest'' trigger, then enter fail trigger situation

ima be back, dota 2 calls me

[heady tide]

specifically what guide did you follow? cuz that was the problem before the patch too, the solution was to teleport somewhere far away

[turbid narwhal]

So wait...they messed up the code for the quest so the Succes/Faill triggers
go off at the same time?

[clever drift]

no

its essentially you enter the accept quest trigger

and if you get in the fail trigger (which is smaller then the accept one) you fail

therefore the quest accept conditions are never met

and the doors never open for you

[cedar raft]

i followed this : https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz8kia/zalissya_defence_guide_using_uetools/
buit again after completing last drop or something, don't remember, it was in ex-monolithian base (who are they kidding right?) use this and you are all good, you can save that town, i just teleported straight to town after talking to Lodachka and gettin sphere quest

[clever drift]

because you needed to talk to warlock, x y z

[cedar raft]

not warlock, town leader

town leader and medic are important ones

[pseudo dove]

Where is boo's rifle? Can't seem to find it in the water.

[cedar raft]

and for saving that town i got 3k in total gg i guess....logic here is like being ripped by anomaly while eating sausage

[cedar raft]

in trader you can buy glassess, use that 😄
p.s. don't recommend giving him back that weapon 🙂

[pseudo dove]

Don't see any glasses in any of the traders' inventories.

A trader in the slag heap or somewhere else?

[cedar raft]

🙂 it was a sarcasm....weapon is there and not in the water

just right in front of that idiot who could not take his weapon

[pseudo dove]

I may be blind

[cedar raft]

don't give him back, its pretty sweet weapon

[pseudo dove]

Aight, Thanks

[cedar raft]

its not really far from him and that bridge

are you coming first time to that zone? maybe some mutants moved it....

if you come first time there should not be any problems finding it, its like couple meteres from him

[pseudo dove]

Yeah I found it leaning against some concrete

Not sure how I missed that

[cedar raft]

well you found it 😄 at least

[pseudo dove]

He doesn't pay you for it. . .

Glad I made that quicksave before giving it to him

[lean summit]

Does the tech for Zalissya ever come back? It was saved and I did the quest stuff to heal him. Its been a hot minute and havnt seen him around

[heady tide]

If you mean the optional quest to find a surgery kit to save Lens, he should be up from his bed the moment you go to sleep and wake up after turning it in. He'll sit on that same bed while providing his services. If not it's unfortunately bugged for you.

[fierce crow]

I just want to confirm with everyone the Defend Zalissya mission is still broke for everyone right? no matter if I B-line there right after finishing the SIRCAA mission or if I go there like i would naturaly to go to the Sphere mission theres a whole bunch of placed dead mono's and the door to the hall is locked...

[fierce crow]

ok glad im not the only one i even tried reloading a save during my escape from SIRCAA and B-lined it there same issue as your having

[graceful chasm]

Did anyone go back ||to the chemical factory after siding against the ward? Man, I just shot the front guard with 300 7,62 x39 in the head and he's still alive. Getting the feeling I shouldn't go in there lol||

[cedar raft]

I was there when we were cool with the Ward and it wasn't accesible, probably unlocks some time later if you choose Ward path

have not tried to kill them though....should be possible, but i guess its a special case

[vivid adder]

Does the Bread side quest reward anything solid? I think my guy died in an emission ages ago cause he never came back lol.

[olive mesa]

So, what do I do if I can’t even start On The Edge cause the door is locked?

[pure kelp]

Have the NPCs stopped dropping dead after walking through the door in zali?

[olive mesa]

Uh, all the npcs besides the enemy ones are alive when I arrive after doing stuff at Wild Island

[amber lotus]

Jesus Christ I just did arena round 4 on veteran ||and had to cheese the chimera into a spot where I landed only headshots and was left with only 60 bullets||

[oblique wyvern]

hey guys what to do with bubbs PDA

[pure kelp]

Currently have a quick save at the point just before they walk up to the door and die lol

[graceful chasm]

Yeah it looks to me as if they ramped the health, armour, damage output and everything else 1000% to ensure you can't get in.

[crisp pulsar]

any zalyssia door fix?

[wanton lynx]

for the monolith protection quest?

[crisp pulsar]

yes

[wanton lynx]

I don't think so

[lament plover]

So not the only one then. Seems like it bricks you out of an awesome side mission. Such a shame

[wanton lynx]

Hopefully it is fixed in 1.0.3

[crisp pulsar]

If you kill the friendlies and go back out of town for a moment then back inside it will let you open the door

but you can't finish the quest

[lament plover]

Yeah def needs a patch. Such is the way with patches they fixed things but broke others

Guess I will do it in my next playthrough

[lavish axle]

Came across it too by accident, might be relevant for a later side quest?

[crisp pulsar]

I thought it affected the main mission. I wouldn't be surprised if zalyssia backs me up in a future fight sometimes

[kind bear]

where?

[pure kelp]

This is my exact fear, I feel I’ve burnt every bridge and these guys and my only fallback plan atm lol

[obtuse iron]

Anyone found a way to save hamster after patch?

[pastel vector]

does zalisya get rebuilt?

afterwards at any time

[crisp pulsar]

||guess I'll have to do an evil run and destroy zalyssia myself||

[fierce crow]

Just posting this here incase anyone CTRL+F's looking for info about the Zalyssia bug

From what I gathered through discord, reddit and steam all day is if you arrive at Zalyssia after hearing both radio comms to dead monolith everywhere and a stalker outside the Ward hall (which is locked) you can shoot through the bunker door (across from the double locked door) and hit the guard who is down stairs stuck in aggro mode (which keeps all the doors locked) and then run away or quick reload after saving to de aggro them at which point the doors will be unlocked so you can start the quest, but either way there is another bug where gaffer and the guard walk from the bunker to the ward building and die instantly when touching the door way. So its best to just wait for the patch hopefully tomorrow/in a few hours that may or may not drop i was looking at steam db for submitted patches and there is a release candidate that was edited 16 hours ago just after the initial hotfix today

[urban glen]

I ate the bread myself because I got hungry. 😔

[vivid adder]

damnnnnn

[wind gull]

updated to 1.0.2 and gaffer is mad at me xd

and zalissya is now empty

even when I helped them

[obsidian cloak]

So I think this quest is bugged. It has me going to the chem plant to find an artifact for some dude. I got the artifact but my quest isn’t updating and I can’t find the guy at the base I’m supposed to get it for

[wind gull]

Same

[obsidian cloak]

Okay so it’s not just me? That makes me feel a tad better

[nimble jackal]

how do you do Leshy's side-quest? is it bugged? he immediately starts shooting if you get close and the quest marker disappears.

[cobalt gate]

Okay, so this is annoying.
I'm trying to do the "In the Name of Science" quest for Shcherba.
So far I got 3 collars. The two left are the ||Pseudogiant|| in Red Forest Containers location and the ||Bayun|| in Wild Island Boathouse.
The ||Pseudogiant|| shouldn't be an issue but the ||Bayun|| is since I've already visited that location and killed it but never got the collar out of it. I can't exactly roll back my save either without losing dozens of hours of progress and seeing how it's a side quest I don't think it's worth it

[remote bramble]

Do you guys reckon GSC will be releasing a hotfix today for Hamster during On The Edge?

[nova token]

You're not the only one getting locked out of the collars - I'd already killed the ||Bayun|| at the Boathouse and now that collar is impossible for me to get. Annoying, haven't found a way around it 🤷‍♂️

[amber lotus]

I’m on Xbox and I found these 3 portal anomalies in ||the southwest side of chemical plant and one of them drops u from really high and I die before the rock anomalies below can save me|| , any one else been able to do this ?

[pulsar lake]

fellas. there is a side quest in the cooling towers zone to help duty defend against a monolith atack, about 6-7 maybe monolith atack you, after you go down from the roof, duty just sits and doesnt talk to you and the quest cant be finished, any solutions?

[earnest thicket]

So guys i don't if i got a bugged quest or if i'm doing something wrong, while i was exploring Garbage i went to Slag Heap to look around, i found an npc named Zakhar that had a quest but i didn't take it, i thought i'd come back later after i explored the area and found key locations, while exploring i came across a place with bandits that shot me, so i killed them all, after that i heard someone talking to me, i went there to find Akopyan who gave me the mission "Deceive the Deceiver" so i went back to Slap Heap but Zakhar wasn't there, i searched the whole place for him and even in the containers as one of the videos showed, but he's gone, can anyone tell me if this is bug or if Zakhar moved to somewhere else please.

[cobalt gate]

I just did a Quicksave/Quickload and it went off smoothly from there

[pulsar lake]

quicksave and quickload after killing monolith or before?

also, does anyone know exactly where to find duty and freedom leaders?

[pale fossil]

Nightingale's Hunt will not allow you to turn in the electric collars to hamster if you already have collars from another task in your inventory

[cobalt narwhal]

Developers! Please fix the quest in Zalesie again. The hamster merchant and his security guard die as soon as they enter the main building. You can go through the quest, but the hamster merchant can't survive.

[vivid adder]

Duty's General is in the Cement Factory, why?

[pulsar lake]

can you talk to them

or smth

cuz i cant find me

em

[vivid adder]

Yea you can talk to him, iirc he's on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the same building as the bed and stash

[pulsar lake]

found him just now, any way to join a faction or smth?

[vivid adder]

Not in base game, I assume there will prob be some mods for that in the future.

[pulsar lake]

damn

[trim hearth]

I can't get the fourth electronic collar ||at the Boathouse in Wild Island. Because I killed the psy bayun from before||, what should I do?

[proud stirrup]

100 hundred hours in and I find my first whirlwind artifact to give to Warlock. Almost not even worth it.

[stuck wasp]

so the on the edge side quest after bribing hamster guard, as soon as they go in the hall (main building) they just die tried reloading after the SIRCAA main quest and doing the on the edge quest again Hamster and his guard still dies, is there a fix for this or wait for the next patch?

[red oriole]

Hi guys, is Bubb's pda bugged or did I just miss the location ?

[amber steeple]

Zakhar is dead, you can find his body up the irradiated hill. (the one left of the building, theres a guy that seems to be cold or something under the scaffolding)

[turbid narwhal]

Next patch

[remote bramble]

Will we see it today?

[turbid narwhal]

No idea I am afraid

[true wren]

Should we reload a save or will the patch revive them?

[turbid narwhal]

Prolly reload a save

[remote bramble]

Reload is the best bet

[true wren]

Luckily game autosaved right outside zalissya, realised it was still bugged when hamster died at the door, hope they fix this soon :/

[remote bramble]

I'm stuck not playing the game for days because I don't feel like being forced to not do things I have no control over in a meaningful way.

A bug like so is just tiring.

[turbid narwhal]

Honestly I purged all my saves post-instute and I am wating for the patch to finaly fix the damm quest

[shut depot]

hamster ||betrayed everyone anyway||, he kinda deserves it hahah

[magic goblet]

welp, the quest|| "shift change (wild island)"|| the person ||Jumper,|| i am suppose to talk to is dead and the quest is broken I guess, I somehow managed to get around doing the quest but not able to complete it as when I come after ||"defeating hog without knowing i was suppose to"|| it just has his lifeless body... am I screwed lol

[woeful hare]

Really? Someone please deal with this...

DO NOT CLICK HIS LINK

@ancient peak Can you do something about this? Before someone clicks the link. Sorry for the tag i just saw you were online.

@half atlas

Again sorry for the tags but im trying to get someones attention that can do something about this guy

Thank you to whoever did that 🙂

[half atlas]

Thanks

[woeful hare]

No worries!

Now to the reason i hopped in here. ||Has anyone figured out how to not have hamster and his guard die the second they step through the door to the school?||

[turbid narwhal]

Its a new Anomaly for that Blowout of a quest introduced in 1.0.1 XD
lets hope that 1.0.3 when it lands gives some of those pills that let us survive Emissions XD

[summer comet]

No, it's bugged. I gave up on waiting for the quest line to be properly fixed so I just let Zalissya die while I progress the main quests

[true wren]

How long can you avoid doing it for? I've approached zalissya, if I leave and do exploring/side content, will it wait for me? Or is it timed in a way

[turbid narwhal]

Guess no patch today XD

[red ridge]

hey, some quest do not properly disappear from log, I fear one of the generated ones will prevent me from doing any further with this specific npc (hera), because I talked to him, he paid me but I can't ask him for any other. And it's still appearing as unfinished in my log

[tired gulch]

Anyone figure out what is with the disco lights at the Pripyat Port?

[turbid narwhal]

Son of a bish XD

I thought it was patch ping
it some social shizzle ping

[chrome token]

What more important 42k koupons or a cool LMG

Tryna decide if I should sell this rn or not it’s got a 500 round magazine 🤣

[glossy patrol]

Hello everyone. Quest DECEIVE THE DECEIVER. After following Zaghar to his fellows, receiving the reward and killing him I finally get the quest update (after the patches) to "Get my reward from Akopyan". Problem is I don't get a blue marker on the map and if I go back to where I left him (alive), I always find him dead on the spot. Any workarounds?

[ripe compass]

42k koupons, do you ever think you’ll actually use the 20kg machine gun

And it’s the Glutton mg innit

[chrome token]

Hahaha yes it is

I just found it last night in the underpass

[ripe compass]

Yup fun puzzle to get in isn’t it

[chrome token]

It is and that was probably the only time I’d rlly use the MG clearing those snorks out lmao

[ripe compass]

Well if you use it for that you may find use for it in Pripyat

But I found the Dnipro with base rounds was perfectly viable 2 shooting most enemies to the head

[feral charm]

my quest is stuck at arena round four wait until arena is ready for the next fight

no matter how much i sleep arnie is never ready to invite me to round 4

[chrome token]

Just keep playing the game

It’ll eventually update

It’s a quest thing it unlocks after a certain quest is completed I believe

[ocean needle]

is ||on the edge|| still broken?

[bronze elk]

they broke a diffrent thng now for that mission

[summer comet]

As long as you don't continue the main quest, you can leave it for as long as you want

[hardy geode]

as long as u dont get close enough to the town to get the messages atleast, for me i lost the town if i ignored them and didnt go there

[ocean needle]

xd

[obsidian cloak]

I’m conflicted

Do I take the artifacts or leave the vodka XD

[warm sandal]

good morning

[summer comet]

Ah, I meant if you're already halfway through the quest. But yea, best not to approach Zalissya if you haven't initiated it yet

[blissful mist]

guys, did anyone encountered the same issue, while doing the mission On the Edge and handling with Hamster (paid his bodyguard 6k) and they both go to the new HQ, directly after opening the door they both randomly die? Zalissya defense quest!

[dusk jewel]

collective heart attack

such is life in the zone

[rare valve]

so I found the unique ak-74u in Cordon "special", but there are 2 of it. Is that normal?

[astral star]

In the lost boys quest, I sided with the Ninth and killed the guys trying to kill him. A few days later, Mastiff turns up and thanks me for saving him from the Monolithian, together with the boys. What? Bug?

[torn fog]

question im in north of agroprom underground and cant get out found ladder but hatch on ground does not oppen. Is this glich or i need somehow tourn it on?

[vivid adder]

Yes

[blazing hearth]

i just got to defend Zalissya but when i get there isnt any fighting no enemies i hear ghost gunfire doors are locked and i have no idea what to do

managed to unlock the door by shooting the guy in cellar area though their door

[rigid juniper]

Wheres this bad boy at exactly

[glad cape]

how do i get in the city hall before the defense of zalisya as i am trying and it is locked

[rare valve]

||Top of the elevator building, southwest to the bridge||

[blazing trench]

i have same issue i shot they guys in the cellar it unlocked the main hall door but no achievement what should i do

[obtuse iron]

Anyone know what todays little hot fix fixed?

[fiery pike]

Is there a hotfix for today?

[feral glen]

I restarted a fresh save after 1.01 and WAS lmao trying to do the bubbs thing and see if it’s fixed with his pda. And so I’m sitting here and it was normal and now the pda picked up next to him wasn’t marked as a quest item anymore and could be dropped so rejoice 👌 until now It seems there’s a bug where you can’t pick him up anymore to carry him out of the anomaly to complete the quest now to begin with 😃 only can search him. Then the cherry on top is when I pressed search on him to see if maybe I had to open his inv to carry him or smth ect, what did he have in his inventory you may ask?… ANOTHER PDA 😃 love stalker lmao

[blazing hearth]

didnt do the mission yet cause its late

[blazing trench]

reloading does not help

I run there fast as I can and they already fought them off??

[feral glen]

#💬┃en_offtop message

[prisma crane]

heya guys, did anyone encounter a bug in ||In the name of science|| mission?
the objective says i need to wait until ||Scherba contacts me|| but that never happens, any ideea of what ||quest id commands|| i should use or if i need to wait more, and yes i did try to sleep a few days but no change

or if anyone knows where i could find all the ||quest IDs and subchapters||

[wraith crest]

anyone know how to drop the ladder for wild island

[pseudo agate]

Sooo is the quest, In the name of science bugged since i still havent been contacted by Schreba

[amber lotus]

At malachite ||the scientists turn red after ‘a minor incident’ is that intended ? ||

[dusk jewel]

Ninth could've died later and the game thinks you killed him. In my game, Mastiff thanked me for taking a risk in trusting a Monolithian.

[astral star]

So while not even being loaded in? Thats so stupid. I talked to him after, he went back inside and I left…

[dusk jewel]

Not intended. ||After a certain main quest, Malachite gets protection from The Ward. Killing them during the main quest counts as killing Malachite's guards.||

The technician and the trader turn neutral as I approach them, but the guide and the doctor are still red.

[dusk jewel]

Not sure how that could've happened. Maybe you accidentally shot him and the code thought you were siding against Ninth, maybe it was something else.

The game's broken, lots of stuff like this. Solder never helped me, even though I didn't kill him (I did shoot him in the head, but only after sparing him to see what would happen, then I reloaded a save before that just to make sure I didn't kill him)

[amber lotus]

Weird cuz they’re all red for me,|| I thought it was cuz I got more money out of the guy for saving him from ward after getting his data ||

[dusk jewel]

I'm not sure if that's what triggers the reputation loss. I did the quest, turned it in and didn't notice the reputation loss. They all turned red after that quest in Malachite.

They're the only group I ever had a negative reputation for.

Also, killing the guy in collars quest will also lower your reputation. It lowered it so low that the other NPC wouldn't even talk to me unless I fixed my reputation (though I found a way around it by killing the guy and talking to that NPC quickly, before the side quests for a hostile group appears)

[plain fox]

I am guessing Back To Slag Heap is bugged too?

Started a new game because previous 40h save was ruined due to Zalissya bug.

I didnt have any issues previously until Zalissya.

But now am stuck outside the sawmill😩

[robust acorn]

so its not even worth starting a new goddamn game???? are these devs fukking serious? I had the Zalissya bug 2 times now, one before the patch and one after the patch. Ive gotten so much shit done with collecting journalist stashes and shit for good gear only to find out its STILL A GODDAMN PROBLEM WITH 2 PATCHES SPECIFICALLY STATING THEY FIXED THE ISSUES?!

[pseudo agate]

Zalissya worked fine for me, side quest wise im stuck on waiting for shchreba to contact me again and i did the required story missions aswell. Im just gonna do a new playtrough i think since so much of the stuff was bugged that i coudnt fix it, sad to see 72 hours down the drain but hey. Im gonna make my new playtrough abit easier by giving me some stuff

[zinc acorn]

is it a bug for the ward soldiers to not help defend against monolith attack on chemical plant

[robust acorn]

how are you going to give yourself some stuff

[pseudo agate]

console commands

[pseudo agate]

thats how

[robust acorn]

so mods that probably break the game anyway, goddamnit. this is depressing as all fuckkk

[plain fox]

Problem is that Back To Slag Heap is Main mission, not side my bad.

My first 40 hours i had no issues with nothing, until side quest from Zalissya.

After these 2 patches, i decided to start a new game, but so now am stuck on that main mission. So cant progress whatsoever now

And i do so many hours exploring in between main mission, so its no use for me anymore to reload a save.

[pseudo agate]

well the console commands from UE5

[robust acorn]

dont you need a mod to activate the console?

[pseudo agate]

yeah but it unlocks it

it doesnt make it the modder just picked the UE5 files to activate it

and u can also do it trough steam i think

[robust acorn]

i just want the goddamn game to run like its supposed to without having to mod my goddamn experience to make it function as intended, is thatoo much to ask for? apparently

[plain fox]

I cant even mod, am on xbox😭 I am probably just going to wait a few weeks. Because the game is amazing, love the looting. But yeah nothing i can do ig

[fierce crow]

@blazing hearth@blazing trench gotta wait for a fix

[feral glen]

Can’t PICK UP BUBBBBBS

lmao god damn man

I hate the early release of games nowadays man 😭😂

Love this game but Jesus Christ these bugs making my ocd wanna explode lmao

[rigid juniper]

Just ignore it its only a side quest, sucks if you lose Zalyssia because of the vendors but theres plenty of towns later on. It should have been fixed because for me and others the side quest completed just fine after the 2nd update. My advice is also having multiple saves as you do the game in case something happens

[feral oar]

im having issues getting a side quest, during answers come at a price theres soldiers that wants me to kill mutants i accepted but doesnt give me the area nor does it actually give me the quest it just says that theres a side mission avaliable

[hidden elk]

im curious why some people can do zalissya without an issue and others can't. my issue rn is just the instakillzone in the townhall, that instakills hamster

[torn fog]

Question can I save Lefty team?

[shrewd cloud]

When I enter zalisya there is dead monolith everywhere and the door is locked

Cant even get in to start the defense

[somber nexus]

So Machek's PDA quest item you get from exploring Duga -- where do you take it to?

[austere light]

During On the Edge side quest I just ||defended Zalissya|| but it still shows me to protect it. Any idea what to do?

[torn fog]

walk around find monoliths

[austere light]

already killed all of them

💀

even reloaded the save and same shit

[torn fog]

there was 2 wave

[austere light]

I had like few waves, unless there is meant to be some MAJOR second one

and if so then it doesn't spawn

[torn fog]

are you able to enter bulding?

[austere light]

yes

npcs are standing there

doing nothing

maybe it's because Hamster died by crossing the damn doors

as it's also bugged

[ionic hamlet]

how to use th uetool to spawn a mission item

[torn fog]

walk out of town and then there is radio message get back and kill the monoliths

[austere light]

already had one and then defended the town, there's meant to be a second one?

[torn fog]

nope that was it

[austere light]

exactly as I thought

[torn fog]

restart from earlier save

[austere light]

already did lol

I'm guessing it might be because Hamster dies whenever you bribe his guard

due to a bug

and maybe there is meant to be some interaction or something

[torn fog]

probably you did not kill all

I was able to bribe

[austere light]

none are marked anymore and I ran around the town

[austere light]

then if Hamster walks into town hall he just dies

[torn fog]

😮

[austere light]

and if I leave the town I get a radio message that town has been defended

[austere light]

test it yourself, there has also been plenty of videos on discord with same issue

it's ridiculous in what state the GSC has released this game and now the hotfix only brought more issues related to that quest lol

[ionic hamlet]

how do i use the uetool to spawn a mission item

[upper prairie]

I opened my game to test, for the item you want its XCreateItemInInventoryByID E10_MQ02_Regenerator 0 1 1

no problem.

Wish it was as easy as that to fix my main story hardlock 🙂

[vivid adder]

What MSQ are you stuck on?

[upper prairie]

"Assault on Duga" on Ward side, stuck on objective "Secure the checkpoint", I am in checkpoint with my guys and nothing happens, this is stopping me from progressing main story, I've tried it from start like 5 times, it is definitely bugged

Sorry I know this is side quest channel but since you asked

Found others with same issue which is totally unresolvable

[vivid adder]

ahh, I didn't do the Ward side and had zero issues

[upper prairie]

Yeah haha same I did this quest fine with Spark

[ionic hamlet]

it still says to retrieve is there way to fix that or nah

[upper prairie]

I had other MSQ issues with Spark side but could solve all those with console command and shiet

[upper prairie]

you might still be fucked, I dont think it willl let you hand it in

and you cant like drop it and pick it up again to trigger the retrieve step

[vivid adder]

So far all my MSQ is okie up to Pipyatt, but my side quests are scuffed to all hell

[ionic hamlet]

where do i drop it off at

[upper prairie]

The doctor in the camp with the bubble

But I don't think it will work if you are still at the retrieve stage but I suppose you can try

[ionic hamlet]

game is so broken 4th mission ive had problems with

[vivid adder]

Did your Regenerator that was in the Field Hospital just not spawn??

[ionic hamlet]

nope

[vivid adder]

tf, haven't seen that one yet.

[ionic hamlet]

games broke

[vivid adder]

true

[muted veldt]

sullyboo has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upper prairie]

thats really weird I havent heard of that bug before and I've done that quest and a friend just did it fine too

[vivid adder]

dang, my bad wolf

[ionic hamlet]

lucky

[upper prairie]

fck you wolf you little btch

sck my cck

[vivid adder]

Regenerator is a pain to get to without alerting anyone as well

[upper prairie]

I think you only get extra $ for not killing any fellas in there.

There's an extremely nice armour in the hospital

[vivid adder]

yea the payout was like 21k or somethin like that

[upper prairie]

and a unique gun that could miss if you are focusing on no getting spotted and getting item and getting out

[vivid adder]

I already had a Diamond Exo by that point so I dont care about gear anymore lmfao

[muted veldt]

calasmeer has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upper prairie]

oh my god

yes its very good armour its one of the best in the game if not the best 🙂

[vivid adder]

yea I'd argue it's the best

I think the only real contender is Liberty Exo and even still max Diamond is just better, and easier to get

Ruby is good to but you get it after Diamond and again, Diamond is just better maxed

[ionic hamlet]

omg it finally spawned after reloading 10 times

what an amazing game

[vivid adder]

ayeeee

[ionic hamlet]

i wanna love this game but i feel like it has more bugs the cyberpunk

when it launched

[vivid adder]

idk about that

[somber nexus]

This let me advance the quest that was soft locked (because the mutant at boathouse was already dead)

XStartQuest E08_SQ01_S2```

[vivid adder]

I can play Stalker, my CP2077 literally didn't even work lol

[somber nexus]

Er, replied to the wrong thing, but this is for In the Name of Science

[olive mesa]

I’m still having a bug where the enemies at Zalissya are dead before I even get there so I just reloaded to before SIRCCA

[vivid adder]

Yea I had that issue to. I just moved on and will do it on a seperate playthrough

It's not worth delaying the rest of the game for it

[olive mesa]

I’m just gonna stash and blueprint hunt till it get fixed

[vivid adder]

See I did that all last week lol

and when it still didnt work after Fridays patch I just moved on

[glossy patrol]

So, I managed to make it work. It seems to me that a lot of things can go wrong and Akopyan keeps dying one way or another( ex anomalies). The only way I managed to complete it was to load the save BEFORE talking to him and taking the quest (it's a pain in the a.ss, I know) and then rushing to complete it. Anytime the quest pops up on your screen (just like flashing, without you completing or failing anything), for me it meant he just died somewhere and had to reload. Got it on my 5th try.

[rigid juniper]

In the name of science quest was good af, scary ass fight

[hardy zealot]

I tried that once, but mf died at the very spot I took the quest. Gonna try again some time.

[serene coyote]

ok Im headed back to Zalissya for the defence mission, is it working?

[rigid juniper]

Worked for me. I think only one of the side objs is still bugged

[tardy urchin]

did anyone else find it depressing that the journalist quest ended that way.

[muted veldt]

neat2460 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wraith vapor]

Sorry wolf, what the HELL is the second fight at the arena? pseudodogs are annoying to begin with without having to fight them with a double barrel

[ionic hamlet]

why can i not run all the sudden not overweight and exo is full hp

[cobalt gate]

Exo needs an upgrade to sprint. And not all of them have that option to begin with.

[prisma hull]

Lmao

No. The trick is to do all the side missions but never turn in to gaffer

[prisma hull]

Most do but are locked in Pripyat

[wary crane]

so, in a save where the zalissya quest bugged, now not a single building in the town counts as an emission shelter 🙂

[olive mesa]

I’m just hoping my entire current playthrough isn’t permanently bugged cause I still can’t start On the Edge

[valid dew]

in the mission "On the Edge" Hamster and Ricochet just freaking die when walking in the door at the church building. I've tried numerous times to get this to not happen but every time they hit the door they just freaking drop dead

[prisma hull]

its a feature not a bug

[valid dew]

i mean what else are you supposed to do. I am down a merchant to sell my garbage to 😦

[prisma hull]

all merchants are the same p much

did they fix the ammo sale bug yet

[valid dew]

yeah but in this moment on my playthrough he would of been very convenient for me

oh well, it's stalker. We expect bugs

reloading old save. If hamster is going to die I am killing him myself 👿

[prisma hull]

apparently there is a bypass to get into ||pripyat||

I am v excited to try this

[rigid juniper]

get on top pf a box and pray

[rigid juniper]

You can still sell to Warlock in Zalyssya without Hamster, sucks that be doesnt sell ammo tho. It wont matter the more you play however as more camps will unlock

[wary crane]

i kinda wish technicians weren't so limited, i'm like 70 hours into a playthrough, got pretty advanced weapons, but still haven't got a tech that can upgrade them

[true wren]

I started to do Quiets quest, for sidorovich, and then did Sircca. Do i loose that quest entirely now or will it come back after i progress the main story?

[prisma hull]

zalissya working for me. I merced hamster because that part was bugged, but no issues after an hour

[fair leaf]

anyone know why my game is freezing during the dialogue between Lt. Tryhub and Maj. Rodeysky? It's been mentioned other times in this deiscord but ignored both

[fossil iron]

Hey guys is Zalissia still bugged?
I just finished talking to Prof Lodochoka and went on my way to Zalissia when I heard radio transmission asking for help.
When I arrive there, there is no Monolith soldiers around and all main NPCs are in town hall according to map marker but the door is closed. And the salker outside says they defended without my help. Now I don't know how to proceed?

[true wren]

It very much still is bugged
Genuinely dissapointing that they still havent fixed this :/

[fossil iron]

I thought they fixed this in latest patch so was quite happy to go and defend my Zalissia brothers lol. Now I am trying to revert back to save after saving Lodochoka and hoping they releas a fix soon.

So disappointed that they still have not been able to patch such a critical bug.

For a 60$ game the devs sure have ben quite lousy.

[true wren]

yeah afaik you want to save zalissya before doing the wild island stuff, but if you try you cant save everyone, hamster seems to be bugged

he will die if you try to save him

[fossil iron]

Which wild island stuff?

Can u elaborate?

[lone torrent]

Is anyone else having issues with the Wards at the Chemical plant? I'm in good standing with them, and I gave the Lt the artifact and/or the PDA, but I still get gunned down when I enter the base proper. Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

[fossil iron]

Like after doing Circaa and siding against Ward, I straight up went to Shevchenko ship first to drop all new gear weighing me down.

Then I went to prof Lodochoka. And then Zalissia.

[true wren]

wierd, i could still walk into the building in zalissa after doing this

ultimately the quests fubar until they actually get round to fixing it whenever that is, damn shame

[cloud yarrow]

Yeah this Zalissya bs is actually stupid, they not play test certain side quests?

[fossil iron]

Not just any side quest other. A quiet major one as it's the first town of the game , where our journey starts and u have to protect it.

I seriously think they did not even play testing the entire game even one time properly before selling it.

[cloud yarrow]

Losing a major settlement (only one in its region) over a bug is horrendously laughable, Bugthesda couldn’t even write this if they tried

For me there’s some stalkers outside yet the doors remain shut, I don’t think I even have monolithians in that building

[true wren]

I could walk in and do the quest, but steps of the quest are also bugged, the whole thing is plagued, after 2 patches aswell, Im genuinely confused as to how this has happened

[restive axle]

Does that trader guy in cordon sid wants you to kill ever actually do anything? i sided with him but he randomly died off screen later...

[cloud yarrow]

I’ve learned that 99% of people in this game don’t actually do anything

[loud light]

I was about to ask if anyone was running into the hamster bug, but I see that is the current topic

[true wren]

I really hope they patch this soon, as in by end of day

[rigid ocean]

Hi Team, any tips on obtaining the "Modest Stash"? (If I get robbed again, that's it, I'm joining the bandits).

It seems like it is in the attic of the house but how do I jump up and get in there. The Stash is a just south west of Zalissya.

[meager shore]

Just got back to the mission after starting new game hoping it would be fixed, I arrive and there are stalkers sitting around going “I can’t believe we did it” like the defence is done and the doors are locked

[true wren]

Cant even explore without the constant memory leaks and now the games crashing, i've had 30 hours of playtime without a single crash and since leaving sircca ive had 3 crashes, 3 broken quests and constant memory leaks

[fickle panther]

Guys, did they solve Zalissye bugs? Any updates on that?

[turbid narwhal]

Noooope

Still bugged as bugged 1.0 in fact slightly bugier

[warm parrot]

Yeah that Zalissya quest got me demoralised 😦

[brazen spindle]

Huh. In the Black Sheep quest if I side with Trachuk and kill the Ward guys my reputation in Malachite tanks but if I hand over the USB my reputation stays neutral despite Viktoria chewing me out for it.

[thick cosmos]

can anyone tell me what these guides do?? i havent found any info

[wintry mica]

Anyone finished the side quest ON A LEASH where u have to collect collars from mutants? Why only 0.1% of the people has this achievement? I find it surprising, it was not that hard of a mission and it was interesting.

[wintry mica]

They are fast travel between settlements for money.

[golden vine]

there's 3rd option. You show your Ward badge and Malachit/Ward are okay with it. Spark doesn't like it.

i mean assuming you hand the USB over to Malachit

but i never got Malachit on like green icon levels, weird. Is there a way to display factions sympathy indicator? Like in Clear Sky?

[fierce crow]

They just answered your question in #📜┃gsc-answers thank God it's being worked on I've had to put the game down till its fixed!

[warm parrot]

Same , that quest stopped me in my tracks !

[strange quarry]

im just at the same situatuion in zalyssia. is it possible to walk around zalyssia, not triggering the questline and come back later when they fixed it?

[lavish vine]

Anyone who's made it far in the game is it true the later zones barely have any side quests

[rigid juniper]

A lot of people havent really played a ton because of bugs and stuff but I have and the quest is really good. Theres a lot of great side quests in the game.

[rigid juniper]

Theres side quests in POIs, you gotta explore. Im pretty deep in the game and have had plenty of side quests to do. They may be not as prevalent as early game but theres still quests.

[lavish vine]

OK that's good to hear! Someone said in yantar there were no side quests but maybe they didn't explore

[true wren]

Perhaps but still very vague in terms of timeline? will i get to play today? will i get to play this week at all?

[fierce crow]

Yea I'm in the same boat but it is what it is sadly

[rough coyote]

If it's the rescue quest then it was working for me last night. I haven't had any issues with any other side quests in Zalissya either.

[true wren]

tried it this morning

[olive mesa]

There’s a sidequest in Cooling Towers I can’t do cause the NPC won’t talk to me after clearing out the zombies, and he disappeared after I looked away for a sec, does this side quest have a decent reward I’m missing out on?

[vivid adder]

I mean this is just a side quest, you can simply move on and do it on a future playthrough. Unless you have a MSQ locked as well then big rip

[true wren]

after over a week and 2 patches its kinda a poor excuse i cant lie, there have been known issue with this part of the game for a while and its a fairly signifcant part of the gaem that disables gameplay features if not completed. That and continuing memory leak issue making the game unplayable anyway

[vivid adder]

Oh I 1000% agree with you. I am also unable to even start the defense. I was just suggesting instead of waiting for a sidequest to be fixed to just try and play the story and come back for completion later, it's what I'm doing.

[true wren]

In another story, I've been exploring after Sirccaa and encountering several Blue Flag iconed NPCs, supposedly who offer a side quest, that just... dont anymore? they only have the default "Whats new in the Zone?" Dialogue option
The icon stays on the map and compass but cant be activated, that and any side quest i was doing before Sircca has dissapeared from my active or completed or failed quest logs

do things return back to normal later on down the MSQ or are these quests now permanantly unavailable?

[vivid adder]

Yea I ran into a few of those myself and usually it was just a case of not being able to start that Side Quest yet even with the flag marker being there. Later in the playthrough I would run into them again and be able to start it.

[true wren]

do you know if Quiets quest with the psi device for sid comes back? because i started it but never finished it before sirccaa, and now the quest has completely dissappeared

[vivid adder]

Sadly no, cause of the effect of the Signal Quiet does not come back.

That's one of those "Unfortunate" situations due to the nature of the games story.

[true wren]

more unforntunate then that is that theres no way to know until its too late, really kinda lame

[vivid adder]

Nature of the game, sadly. I prio my sidequests most of the time, minus the few that are locked or bugged beyond completion.

[true wren]

I think ill just have to load up the save i made right before sircca and lug topaz around until the games fixed, genuinely heartbreaking ngl

[vivid adder]

Thankfully they reduced the weight of the Scanner. When I had to do that last week the thing weighed 12kg. Now it's only 2kg

So at least you can benefit from that!

[true wren]

yeah i had been carrying it for 2 days before 1.0.1/.2 came out so atleast theres that, but i had been waiting for a fix to the post SIRCCA gameplay for a while and to go through it all and find out it hadnt been fixed is kinda depressing

[vivid adder]

Yea they made a few adjustments but it didn't solve everything. For the most past since 0.1 came out I havent had many issues with my MSQ but side quests are still scuffed.

[rare valve]

I see a lot of messages about ||zalyssia defense|| being bugged. What is the exact issue? For me, I get the ||radio messages and when I get there the fighting is over but the door to the central building is locked||

[warm parrot]

Zalysia ! Are you there yet ? 😅

[rare valve]

yeah I'm trying to climb in the window but with no success

[stark anvil]

Anyone having issue with keep hamster alive this post has a few work arounds posted. https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h3ce2i/hamster_is_alive_after_finishing_the_quest/

[green delta]

Having issues after completing “A Commission from Needle” the quest stays in journal as incomplete and objective remains Return to Needle. Ive tried loading old saves to see if it will complete but no luck. Should I a) complete and take the money for now and hope it resolves itself in a future update or b) just leave incomplete for now and wait for future update ?

[wintry mica]

I understand but if you look at the achievements, even the late game MAIN quests has more percentage, so, even more ppl finished the actual main storyline than this side quest from earlier in the game.

[fossil iron]

Has the Zilissia patch released ?

[vivid adder]

Some parts are fixed, others are not.

In short, no.

[rare valve]

I did the ||SIRCAA|| quest after all 3 patches, and when I got to zalyssia it's still broken

door is closed

[spark sequoia]

Hey guys how did you beat Tyrant?

[static crow]

Use the explosive barrels, aim for the head and if you run out of ammo carefully knife him to death

[remote bramble]

Man, still no patches today? Zalissya bros, we are so cooked

[spark sequoia]

Guys I got a call from Zalyssia after I failed the mission, I installed the patch and they said Zalyssia was saved lol

[hollow cargo]

Didn't work for me. Hamster just disappeared and his bodyguard is dead at the doors of death.

[vivid adder]

On veteran it was, 5 headshot, 1 body shot from Rhino, then 2 heavy knife attacks.

[stark anvil]

I think you need to skip the speech and run out of town. That quest was very buggy took a few tries until I stumbled on the work around.

[hollow cargo]

Worked on the second try. I abused noclip cheat like crazy.

[fossil iron]

Zalissia brothers rise up. And keep complaining to devs until they capitulate.

[fierce crow]

Bruh I was hoping for a hotfix today but it's 6-7pm where they work so rip. These progression blockers are definitely something I have to mention in my review it's super annoying for a fully released game

[rare valve]

I might just let it fall tbh

I dont feel like wasting a lot of time on a workaround

[proud stirrup]

Didn't they fix Zalissya. I got to Zalissya and the door to Gaffer to start the sidequest wont give me an option the door to the townhall.

[blissful nova]

Im about at this point

[rare valve]

I started the related SIRCAA main quest which triggers it post update and the townhall door is closed

[proud stirrup]

Which one is that. I went to see the Professor guy in the Quiet base. Before making a fuse I headed over to Zalissya. They are all inside but the door is locked.

This Zalissya bug is a major pain. I should just let them all die

[rare valve]

I did everything up until when the ||sphere is attacked and I need to go there||. I'll try to do that first and check back in Zalyssia, if door still closed then they die

[gilded cargo]

i had to ghost through the door in zalissya but otherwise it all seemed to have worked correctly. made sure to do it without ever loading any saves, your mileage may vary

yeah i went to sphere first, maybe thats what causes it

[proud stirrup]

how did you ghost through the door?

[gilded cargo]

uetools, its a mod

oh right yeah hamster still died in front of the door lol, forgot that part. so yeah not ideal still

i really hope i dont have these issues once i start a new playthrough for other endings...

[proud stirrup]

I mean if sidequest is main mission dependent that why is it labeled as a side activity?

[olive mesa]

Anyone know what the reward for the sidequest with the guy getting attacked by zombies near the Cooling Tower with the fire tornado is? It bugged out on me and I don’t have a save before it did

[proud stirrup]

I guess I will try to continue the main story till is makes me go back to Zalissya. But honestly, they should just scrap the whole mission out of the game since it's so dang buggy. Last playthrough they died after I left the zone and now the door won't even open to let me talk to Gaffer.

[timber magnet]

Did anyone had a problem with IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE side quest in which mutant with a collar won't spawn ?

[obsidian cloak]

Is the wild island artifact bugged for anyone else? It’s straight up not appearing

[urban glen]

Last round of arena feels brutal on vet. Any tips on tactics/strategy for those who finished it?

[rigid juniper]

No, you gotta look for them they kinda roam. Which one are you looking for? what area?

[timber magnet]

Red Forest Pseudogiant

[rigid juniper]

Did you go in where the containers are right below the anomaly?

[timber magnet]

yes

[rigid juniper]

Interesting. Mods? have you reloaded a save?

[timber magnet]

yep reloaded nothing

[brazen spindle]

The spawn still seems to be broken for me.

[rigid juniper]

My advice if you have no mods is to try and get a save before you started the quest. I know people that got this quest done so must ve a specific conflict with something

[olive mesa]

Wait is that psuedogiant not supposed to spawn till that quest?

[proud stirrup]

Does UE Tools disable achievements? I had to use it to get the door open in Zalissya On the Edge sidequest.

[ashen stag]

when I do a task with the defence of the zalissya and bribe the hamster mercenary, after the mercenary and the hamster arrive at the door they die, why?

[open geode]

Hamster patch when ? 😦

[chrome pendant]

is the bread line in rostok bugged for anyone else? it won't move at all the npcs in the line don't appear to be initiating the interaction with Brick

also some of the saves around the sequence like to crash the game, since tried to quicksave and reload to see if that'd jump start them xD

finally decided to work after walking real far away and resolving a combat that popped up

[fossil iron]

When are they releasing Zalissia patch? I heard it was coming out today??

As there was apparently some info on steamdb regarding this.

[vagrant rapids]

Does anyone know why Hamster and Ricochet die suddenly when approaching the assembly hall in Zalissya? I’m assuming it is a bug.

[vagrant rapids]

It’s already out is it not? It fixed for me after updating?

[fierce crow]

yep just waiting for a patch

[vagrant rapids]

Wait, is the patch not out? Zalissya is suddenly fixed for me, I thought it auto updated while I was not home.

[fierce crow]

auto updated today? No. still on 1.0.2

[fossil iron]

For me, when I go to Zalissia after hearing on the radio for reinforcement, no monolithians are there and Stalker outside city hall says they successfully repelled the attack lol without anyone actually attacking. Also the door to City Hall where all NPCs are is permanently closed.

[vagrant rapids]

Not today, it was the day they put the announcement out for the patch.

[fierce crow]

still broke for i think most people

[vagrant rapids]

That’s opened for me now, it was broken for me up until they announced the patch. I thought it updated without me knowing, huh.

[fierce crow]

I know they don't just wanna push out a hotfix to fix one mission and want to fix multiple things every hotfix but not being able to progress really sucks and ruins the experience for the first time at 30 hours

[vagrant rapids]

Is the side mission required to progress?

[fierce crow]

I mean you can let it fail but I don't want to let it fail also an achievement is locked behind saving the town

[vagrant rapids]

I got the achievement

Just weird that Hamster and Ricochet suddenly keel over and die, thought maybe they were executed by the stalkers

[fossil iron]

That is part of the bug as well.

[fierce crow]

no probably something to do with how they are flagged behind the scene and the auto kill area for all the mono's they put up that got stuck in the hall idk im not a game dev

[vagrant rapids]

Guess it’s the only Zalissya bug I have.

[cedar raft]

about what quest are you talking here?

[vagrant rapids]

The Zalissya Defense quest, where you need to convince Hamster and his Merc to share the supplies

After paying the Merc off, they approached the Assembly Hall just to get sent to the afterlife as they walk up the steps

I thought maybe they were supposed to be executed and the scene didn’t play for me, but I guess that’s not the case.

[cedar raft]

i guess not, but anyways, does it matter if they are alive or dead?
p.s. hamster is a pussy

[vagrant rapids]

Not sure, that’s why I am wondering.

I don’t want to be missing out on something by them dying.

[fierce crow]

#📜┃gsc-answers message they are aware of it just who knows how long till its fixed the test build on steam was last edited 8 hours ago and has been in the works for 2 days now its late evening where they work atm

[cedar raft]

ah yes, for achievement and town saving i think there are requirments who must survive

Gaffer and Medic definetly, for rest i am not sure, don't remember

[vagrant rapids]

Hamster and the Merc definitely are not required since you wouldn’t be able to get the achievement if you are broke, which would force you to kill them.

Since that is the only other option from what I saw.

[proud stirrup]

Finally was able to save Zalissya and walk out of the Lesser zone without them dying. I swear this whole sidequest is bugged. First playthrough, they die as I am making my way to Rostok. The next playthrough because I want to save everyone in Zalissya. The door to Gaffer is locked and can't get it open. Had to resort to downloading UE Tools to get through the door.

[tranquil gulch]

Guys Need an advice. Where can I find side quest for Duty vs Freedom? Like in trailer. Found Duty base, maybe there any NPC or something?
Just want to bring Rostok back to Duty 😄
https://youtu.be/g6HH5kKLAlw?si=pf_wZ3hkElUd-rgV&t=48

[fierce crow]

did hamster live this time? I know theres a way to get him to un render before he hits the death wall but i cant manage to get it to work on my save

[magic goblet]

hello, are side quests potentially all bugged?
I cant progress anything and people are either missing or randomly found dead...
a lot of the time I get "side mission" conversation softlocks forcing me to alt f4 the game

atleast so far... main missions are just fine and seems to be able to finish the story atleast.
my save was created during 1.0.0 of the game so I don't know if that has anything to do with it being "early pre-patches"

[fierce crow]

it shouldn't save are just stats, quest progression and position on map as well as inventory i would think

[proud stirrup]

yeah, I paid his guard but he disappears afterwards, he just leaves

[fierce crow]

odd he should be inside the ward hall behind the front desk to the left

[magic goblet]

ah cause as of now, i am trying to talk to beard but the other guy during the conversation "talks" and is just non-existent soft locking, thats my current issue, i have other side mission issues as well lol

[rigid juniper]

No, just a few. Do you have mods?

[proud stirrup]

hmm I didn't notice since I didn't see his shop icon lol

[fierce crow]

@magic goblet man I hope this weeks (hopefully) patch fixes alot of these issues, but im losing hope and the will power to keep playing lol

@proud stirrup fair enough

[magic goblet]

not really, just a engine ini tweak to fix my mouse precision and the oneframethreadlag set to 0 for better input lag reduction

all I know for sure is my saves are borked for side quests lol

1 day and 12 hours in my save :S

[proud stirrup]

I just hope by the time I do another playthrough in the future this sidequest should work without the problems I have had.

[magic goblet]

in my experience all my side quests are so bugged... sucks cause I prefer side quests over main quests as much as possible lol

gotta get all that good loot hehe

[proud stirrup]

what do you mean all the sidequests are bugged? Which ones?

[magic goblet]

have you been to the ||boat house yet for the collar || the duty guys just stand there and theres no beasts to kill >.<

another one is|| sultan doesnt even exist ||

and I found ||jumper randomly dead at the start of the distress call so that side quest|| during the main story is borked too

and I don't know what this ||attack on zelyissa|| is and I simply cant find it lol ?

theres some others i cant remember too well

[proud stirrup]

as long as they keep fixing the issues and releasing updates. But it does kill the mood when it's a main mission that is bugged

[magic goblet]

hopefully my second playthrough everything is better cause i love the game even with its current state lol

its also fun to explore previous locations from past games and going OOO THIS PLACE

[proud stirrup]

I was thinking of playing Metro Exodus after this

[magic goblet]

i still gotta play metro series i bought them forever ago and never got around

i have too big of a backlog

like woops

[proud stirrup]

same, I just need to install it, I played the first two games but never got around to playing the 3rd

[warm parrot]

Yeah ! same ! And ''weird water'' is also apparently bugged and not apperaing to many ppl apparently !

[stark lichen]

Does anyone know how to get to the unexposed stash? It's within a building that has 2 locked doors at either end inside

Nvm there was a window I had to shoot a lock through

[rigid juniper]

Man just finished a side quest in Blood Sucker village and was expecting an easy fight and got a big surprise. Go check it out for some fun

[magic goblet]

idk if this is spoiler or not, but my game wants me to hide from an emission ever since my first emission happened (when the game released) its telling me to go into shelter by the sphere, on the east side of the sphere on the patch of unexplorable terrain is the marker it wants me to go to, i found a bunker door thats in that hill and the door is "locked" and it wont go away lol

wish i could send screenshot but oh well

my save is so borked up D:

[rigid juniper]

How many hours do you have in that save? There may be a key to go up there idk.

[digital burrow]

2 patches so that I'm still stuck with the closed doors of zalissya's defence quest? Is this game a joke?

[fossil ridge]

I got there if you leave for a hour or 2 itll cancel the side quest

[fierce crow]

🙏 For a patch tomorrow!

[digital burrow]

On my old savegame, I managed to finish the quest in its entirety, I started the game again with the 2 updates and now I'm banging on about the bug, I don't understand this game any more...

[digital burrow]

Is a 3rd patch planned for tomorrow?

[fossil ridge]

My game is bugging some sides and i wanted to do em in one run but it got bugged out

[digital burrow]

You'd think we'd never be able to finish it without getting stuck

[fossil ridge]

Yes

[digital burrow]

I wonder if I can continue the main quest while I wait for the patch? Because if I go through zalissya and leave the city, the rescue mission will fail.

[fossil ridge]

If u continue the main mission itll fail it

[digital burrow]

Shit! I'll explore in that case

[fierce crow]

one can only hope

[fossil ridge]

Still fails ot

It*

[fossil ridge]

You do anything but stay there it fails it

After like a hour or two

[digital burrow]

All right, I think I'll stop playing and wait for a correction.

[digital burrow]

Hope lives on... or not 🥴

[fossil ridge]

It gets better after it its why i kinda hope they do add new game plus cause searching for all what i got now was annoying

[digital burrow]

I completely agree, once you've searched the entire map and collected most of the collectibles, there's not much left to do.

[fossil ridge]

Or a form of it to at least keep some of your stuff

[plain comet]

Arena still broken?

[neon pagoda]

If you're talking about the ||chimera fight|| it should still be broken as no patch went out to adjust monster health and ive just had to mod their health down to about double of a bloodsucker

Highly recommend the "Chimera HP Nerf" mod made by:JohnCena1306 on nexus till the devs can get a content/balancing patch out (love you guys over there, stay safe!)

[pure kelp]

doorway bug still going stronk?

[rigid juniper]

Broken how?

[pure kelp]

I seen people had issues progressing further than 4? but thats locked behind questline progression

[kind bear]

repeatable quests for Hera (Duty barkeep) are currently bugged for me. I was unable to complete one for a while until I installed UETools and managed to end it using commands. However he is not offering quests anymore, even days after completion. Is there a way to fix this?

[dreamy badger]

In the middle of a second playthrough and I think the Journalist's Stash Quest "Seek & You shall find" is bugged for me this time around. The Yaniv Stash is the last one I have before Pripyat, after looting it, the quest doesn't progress and it still is telling me to find the Yaniv stash, despite emptying it.

Anyone know a UETools quest command or some kind of trick/fix to get the Yaniv stash to register as found/looted.

[earnest umbra]

I just got out of SIRCCA and had a distress message comming out of the Town in Garbage... whenm i got there nothing was happening, no fighting or any mention to it ever happening. Is there a missing quest?

[willow hearth]

found a sidequest where i can sell my detector to a stalker out in the wild, am i gonna see this guy at a later point or is this just one of those random gen quests

[urban schooner]

So I did the big SIRCCA mission and after I passed through Zayssia to give the emitter to Scar and a little later Zayssia said it had fallen, honestly I don't really feel like reloading a save and doing the missions to rebuild it but should I?

[sour spoke]

hello am i the only one who has problem with saving zalissya?

[earnest umbra]

Its bugged atm, you will not even be able to defend it. If its ignored and you continue the main quest it will fall, there fore it will always fall. I was able to get it sort of working in my first playthrough, yet even after it said i defended it and went on my way, its till going to be destroyed by random bandits... relly weird how after SIRCCA the whole game is falling apart

[urban schooner]

dang, that kinda bums me out but kinda not lol, thanks for the response

[balmy onyx]

I was having issue with defending Zalyssya prior to 1.01, where the NPCs needed to move to their locations to trigger quest events and weren’t. I waited until a fix to progress. Likely you don’t, but if you have a save file after SIRCCA but before the first distress call when entering Lesser you should get the quests to work to save Zalyssya, but it will be attacked a 2nd time with more aggressive enemies and bigger waves after completing some help quests. This could be getting stuck here for people, causing them to leave the town entirely and letting it fall to the 2nd attack. If some events aren’t triggering, you can try to walk out of range and wait for the radio signal of the attack. I’m way past this now, and Zalyssya is still a good spot to get some good credits to sell artifacts to when doing some farming in the Lesser or simply access storage to drop shit off/fast travel late game. I find it’s worth saving canonically and functionally. I havnt had issues of bandits wiping it after, either.

[queen venture]

I never even got a hint that Zalissya was under an attack so when I did return I was surprised to find it had fallen 😳

[rigid juniper]

I healed a guy randomly plopped in the road and later i saw him on the rostok bar. Its possible to meet npcs you help out again,

[heady mountain]

Hi, I got a question regarding Sidorovich "job" sidequests, the one with killing zombies bugged out for me, so I tried using UECommands to "finish" it so it would be removed from my active quests, but still, I can't ask him for new "jobs", dialogue option just doesn't appear, is there something I can do about it?

[torn fog]

regarding 4 fight /chimera and 5 fight did it on stalker level || stand on boxes and shoot it to head single shots If he goes behind container jump down to make him charge. you can select weapon for 5 fight let him select weapon you get revolver- get close stay behind containers and use headshots||

[short charm]

Can i fix in the name of science in anyway? I found 1of the 5 electric collar before quest start at the yard. This one went missing when i started the quest and when i go to the area the jumping mutant with the mask spawns nowhere near the marker. Its not so important but it would be cool if i could fix it.

[torn fog]

you need to defend right after talking with professor

[white vortex]

i just checked on 1.02 patch, zalissya worked for me perfectly. hmst

everything else is still broken, but to my surprise the only common bug is fixed for me

[torn fog]

what everything?

[proud stirrup]

Hi how do you find the horn artifact for boozer side quests

[white vortex]

i had my first run in the first days of the game's release, skipped a bit of the buggy missions, now they came back and made the walkthrough impossible. every 10 seconds i get alerts about starting these skipped quests

going through x7 - get the collar to dvupalov

funny af, fixed it with some uetools magic

i guess i have to restart the whole run to get myself an adequate savegame for tests

[torn fog]

I am still on the collecting the collars

[hexed apex]

I managed to finally complete this quest yesterday. I think restarting the game from a save before you enter SIRCAA may help idk. When doing the Zalyssya quest you will run into an issue after convincing hamster and his guard will walk toward the main building and die but as long as you speak to warlock before hamster enters the building and complete that side of the quest you should be fine with continuing the game normally.

[outer marsh]

JFC, Zalissya shit is FUBAR. One friendly stalker is wounded after all is said and done, he's impossible to revive (just doesn't get up after using a medkit), if you finish him off, quests progresses but all stalkers in the town become hostile.

[hexed apex]

Not in my case, hamster respawned after a while and everyone’s happy

[outer marsh]

did he respawn after you left after succesfully defending the town? Or was he in the hall during Gaffer's "speech"?\

[hexed apex]

After the gaffers speech I played the game like usually came back to drop some supplies off and he was just there, about an hour-ish after the mission

I’d recommend leaving the area like go to a new region first maybe idk

[outer marsh]

Gotcha, I will try to replay the second wave and see if that dude who got downed and bugged everything for me survives this time. Thanks

[hexed apex]

Hope it works for you 🤞

I am on Xbox idk if that changes anything

[prisma tartan]

I completed An Order from Harpy quest. However, this mission still is in Current mission tap in Journal. Is there way to force it to 'real' completed mission status? I'm worrying about I won't be able to take anymore quests from Harpy after now.

[full sail]

do i get continuation of the dvupalov collars questline if i choose to destroy the transmiter istead of changins the frequency?

[fervent scarab]

Guys what should i do if i cannot complete blind dogs guest becouse of hamster dialog bug.

I thought it got patched.

[oblique wyvern]

hello guys, i have encountered a bug on the "on the edge" mission hamster and richochet dies when passing the door hq any work arounds?

[meager shore]

You managed to complete the Zalissya defence on Xbox? Would it be too much to ask if you could message me what exactly you did to get it to work, or I should say, avoid it bugging out

[hexed apex]

I got the information from Reddit, I’ll DM u a link

[meager shore]

Thank you

[chrome pendant]

btw is the bullseye quest bugged for anyone else? when I free Beard's men they just pop out of existence/teleport and when I get back to Beard the mission considers them all dead?

and without spoiling too much is there any point in the main story where that quest will no longer be available? part want to wait for a patch and see if it's fixed but also don't want to completely miss that quest from progressing lmao

[raven nimbus]

Is there something I gotta do to actually get the possibility to start the Journalist Stash Quest? I'm already in Zaton and upon reading up on some better gear apparently those Journalist Stashes have good stuff but the Quest never triggered

[meager shore]

Did you open your stash and get the thumb drive?

[raven nimbus]

I actually think it's locked behind the Ultimate Edition? That's atleast what was mentioned in a reddit post asking about it

[meager shore]

Oh, yeah it is

[raven nimbus]

Yeah nvm then thanks

[true wren]

Anyone else unable to pick up blue/side quests from mpcs withe the blue flag marker on the map after sirca?

I keep exploring and finding new characters marked with a quest but the dialogue option never comes up

[chrome pendant]

I tried running it again just in case and while they still poofed out of existence, this time beard said they all returned alive so good enough for me xD

[blissful nova]

COULD THIS BE THE FIX BOYS?!

[somber nexus]

third time's a charm for Zalyissia simps!

[iron tiger]

For those who continued saves where hamster died walking through the door, is he still dead?

[fierce crow]

Hoping this fixes the locked ward hall..... nothing on the werid bolt for those guys unless I missed it sadly

[silk hornet]

Qq to fix Zalissya is it necessary to reload a save? I had this problem where I defended it, got the message it’s well and alive, and afterwards got the message it has fallen. I’m 20h after this moment and rather not go back

[turbid narwhal]

SOoooo is the quest fixed?

[fierce crow]

That's what I'm waiting to hear im out to lunch but I guess no one complaining about the door being locked is a good sign

Just wish their patchnotes were more thorough in a case like this

[turbid narwhal]

Well the patch is out for 30 minutes

and nobody is ranting about that son of a poxy burer of a quest

So it seems situation was fixed

[fossil ridge]

@digital burrow yo i found a way to fix it

[blissful nova]

ITS FIXED

[turbid narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/solaire-darksouls-praise-the-sun-gif-5934057

[blissful nova]

well. to an extent. i just did a half ass save and the attack triggered just didnt complete the mission. But im gonna reload the whole quest and see waht happens.

[digital burrow]

Tell me everything bro 😁

[blissful nova]

nevermind. some of the AI was stuck in a barn. Found em and completed the mission

[fierce crow]

YESSSSS

[tepid sandal]

For me the zalissya main building is locked.

[fierce crow]

Don't say that :/

[turbid narwhal]

They reload the save before you started the quest

Since I doubt they can remove the bigs retroactively

[tepid sandal]

Yep, just tried that

I download the patch when i was still at wild island sooo, gonna try if a reload at sphere works

Yeah the main building is locked.. No monolithians when i arrive at Zalissya

[turbid narwhal]

The heck

[fierce crow]

Bruh they really can't fix a locked door.... I'm losing hope in GSCs abilities

[digital burrow]

I'm also stuck in zalissya, I installed the patch and relaunched a backup, but nothing helped, the door was closed.

[amber steeple]

bruh...they keep fixing some random quests that nobody cares yet Deceive The Deceiver is still broken and cant be completed..Akopyan dies straight after talking to Zakhar.. how ima supposed to get rid of this trash in my logs ?
Theres no way to brute force quest to end, no way to resurrect NPC's, Akopyan SID is broken, no way to get UID's... garbage! fix your game...

[tepid sandal]

I could try console commands to ghost inside the building but i'm afraid it would break the save

[tepid sandal]

Did you had the locked door problem?

[turbid narwhal]

Barn?

[tepid sandal]

i'm looking for them rn XD

[turbid narwhal]

I mean what barn?

[blissful nova]

the one on the southern end of town where one of the medical stashes is

[turbid narwhal]

Ah

[turbid narwhal]

Random quest nobody cares about...
Yet its the most discused quest here

[tepid sandal]

Yeah, no monolithians in the village, main building not accessible

[turbid narwhal]

Did you manage to complete the quest?

[tepid sandal]

Tried running 300m afar, came back, nothing changed

[blissful nova]

I've tried three different saves now. One from the very beginning of the quest, one right at the end, and one right before I triggered it. All three I have been able to complete the quest. BUT, the mission says accomplished, but stays greyed out after completion.

Hamster also stays alive.

[turbid narwhal]

Can you acces the main building and dont get the yo we all be dead message?

[blissful nova]

the doors have not been locked. the only dialogue missing was about the monolith scouts. Otherwise the event triggered to come back, they popped up, and the mission finished.

[turbid narwhal]

Scouts?

[blissful nova]

On top of the hill to the southwest

[tepid sandal]

Yep, one of the guy talks about them and you can eliminate them

But so far, can't even enter to talk to gaffer..

Okay, when i approach the door for the first time, i briefly see the "open" option, gonna try spamming f

Nope

[fossil ridge]

Ill dm you

[blazing trench]

how to fix shooting sounds of monolith after EDGE quest in zaliisyya

the quest is completed and somehow worked but it was all bugged out before

[tepid sandal]

@blissful nova When you first entered the village after the radioc all, was there monolithians inside?

[blissful nova]

one kept glitching trying to go inside, but he popped out long enough for me to kill him.

[tepid sandal]

Mmh, okay thanks !

[true wren]

are there any prerequisits to the quest giver in the pile driver in red forest? he shows up as a a quest giver but wont give it

[blazing trench]

Nice one no chance to load a save before Emission so stuck with this shooting sound in zalissya

[fossil iron]

Has Zalissia been fixed?

[tepid sandal]

For some people at least it's been fixed

[remote bramble]

Just my luck, I busted my balls to do that method to finish On The Edge last night, only for a patch to come the next day

[tepid sandal]

So for those who have the locked door problem someone on reddit posted that:

SOLUTION WITHOUT NOCLIP

Just aggro a couple of monoliths from the sphere and lead them to Zalesye, they won't go into the camp itself, but it doesnt matter, just kill them near the camp and the door can be opened

I think that triggering a combat near Zalissya might unlock the door

Gonna try this running around the town

[frank igloo]

Yeah now I need to reload a save so I can get ||hamster||

[pliant salmon]

Correct. Work as well with randomly spawned human hostile enemies. Doors unlocked, quest proceeds

[tepid sandal]

Just did it with a flesh, don't work, gonna try with humans npc

The flesh wouldn't enter the "safezone"

[remote bramble]

I actually got him to survive after doing the one strat

[desert mason]

Hello, got a quest to|| defend|| Zalissya ||against Monolith|| but when i arrive, there is 3 stalker chilling in front of the building ||previously occupied by The Ward|| but i can't enter and there is no|| Monolithian||... Any idee what to do ?

[true wren]

Im really confused about the Black Sheep Quest
To finish the quest i need to hand it in to ||Doroznhyuk|| but to get to that point you need to ||Kill ward guards, becoming hostile towards the scientists|| How am i supposed to complete the quest?!

Ok, so you can just sleep the hostilty out overnight?

[verbal flax]

for the quest "in the name of science" does anyone know where to find the collar around brain scorcher? in the blue circle are just a load of dead snorks and mercs

nvm, after running round in circle for about 5-10 mins looking for a body the dude radioed in

[frank igloo]

||Go the the sphere and get monolith to fallow you to the town get them into the town and kill them it could unlock the door||

[frank igloo]

||I tried but they died at the door||

[desert mason]

TY, going to try it RN

[tepid sandal]

Yeah, for those stuck with locked Building in Zalyssia, do the monolithina at sphere trick, aggro them, make them come back with you to Zal

[open geode]

after this new patch where does hamster go? He was alive when i finished the mission, didnt die at the door, gaffer did his speech. i left town, and came back and richochet is alive and hanging out but hamster is missing, (no dead body or anything) he was definitely alive and inside when the second attack happened

[desert mason]

I can't do it they loose agro too quickly

[proud stirrup]

Is there a sound bug in Zalissya? I saved the town and everything but I still hear gun shots being fire.

[turbid narwhal]

The quest is still not fully fixed?
for petes sake XD

[frank igloo]

Only move when they shoot at you and shoot at them if they lose agro it’s that hardest pet for sure but you can mange it

[remote bramble]

It was a chore. You have to get out of town before he dies, then come back. But also need to talk to everyone before he even enters. Then, never do the meet up in the building and wait for the all clear.

[maiden jacinth]

So like, now that they patched some stuff, does it FIX stuff if it already happened? or no. AKA them fixing Hamster

cuz i already did the quest so im assuming he stays dead

[open geode]

for me, hamster didnt die when he went through the door. when i continued with the quest he was standing in the main building with everybody, but after i left town and came back and gaffer annoucned the town was safe, i came back and hamster was gone, im looking to see if hes supposed to move somewhere

[fierce crow]

The 'On the Edge' Quest is still buggy

1. You have to lure a Monolithian from The sphere to Zaliyssa to unlock the hall doors
2. Hamster and his Body guard won't walk once you get them in the hall (whatever)
3. There's a floating lamp where the main ward member used to sit (IDR his name) See #📸┃screenshots_and_videos message
4. There's still invisible gunshots on the East and North of the town.

IDK if the werid bolt crashes were fixed if someone could confirm that had it LMK

[glad folio]

Where is Hamster's Bodyguard?

[fierce crow]

for me he's standing up against the left door at the front

[glad folio]

when I get to Zal the door is open and there is no body guard. Hamster goes immediately hostile

[proud stirrup]

Hamster is gone, not dead but he takes off. I haven't seen him after.

[open geode]

same, wondering where he went, or if t heres a way to verify the game didnt delete him in some weird capacitiyy

[fierce crow]

before you even start the quest or what?

[glad folio]

I've got the 'On the Edge' quest. Warlock said to talk to Hamster. The door to the bunker is open, no bodyguard, and hamster goes hostile

[proud stirrup]

Does kind of annoy me that the store and guide vanish from Zalissya. I have to go to the Slag Heap to fast travel.

[fierce crow]

That i never ran into besides when i tried shooting them through the door to unlock it before i reverted my save

I'm personally so over stalker 2's BS I stopped enjoying the game because of all the bug's im just trying to get to the end now so I can be done with it

[open geode]

the whole reason i havent played in several days was i was trying to avoid that whole situation lol

[proud stirrup]

it happens regardless, unless the devs bring in a shopkeeper and guide to that location

[open geode]

wait what? i thought the whole point of settling shit with hamster without killing him is so that you dont lose access to a gun merchant in zaliyssia

[digital burrow]

I reloaded a savegame from the SIRCCA and was able to finish the zalissya defence quest without a bug.

[true wren]

If you save hamster he'll stya and sell guns and ammo, it's the guide that no longer becomes available regardless of turnout

[open geode]

I got the opposite issue, richochet hangs around (but doesnt really do anything) but hamster left

[glad folio]

the entire series of quest bugs for the Zal quest make me not wanna finish it lmao

[open geode]

looks like ill be playing POE2 😦

[open geode]

where is he, in the same room for you? or back at his shop?

[true wren]

theyre all in town hall, if hamster isnt there he isnt there. How did you handle hamster in the defend quests?

[fierce crow]

I completely understand tbh

[true wren]

i was able to do it using that one reddit guide pre 1.0.3, its a bit goofy but ig it worked

[open geode]

i paid off richochet to hamster would live

[true wren]

ye he should be there, if he isnt its bugged and youd have to do it agian

[blazing trench]

do you have the shooting bug in zalissya?

[fierce crow]

even after you finish the defend zaliyssa one of the optional task that initially gives you a ✅ after doing it turns ❌ lol #📸┃screenshots_and_videos message

[astral relic]

Zallysia still locked after 1.0.3 update, I look in the window and still see monolithians running around, this is a brand new run too, darn.

[blazing trench]

same problem

i just continued playing screw this

[fossil ridge]

I cant defend it myself cause npc is stuck in the door and wont move no matter what i do

Actually i did defend it and hes telling me to come inside to talk and i cant do it cause of npc in door

[fickle panther]

I got my Zalyssia quest finally fixed on Microsoft PC version. Good luck to everyone lads

[turbid narwhal]

Hrmmm

[red oriole]

[turbid narwhal]

Second wave is still not wroking ffs

[red oriole]

[warm parrot]

I've been waiting for that for 3 days now ! Starting to get uneasy ! 😤

[red oriole]

yeah, feels really bad... Btw what is the outcome for not doing this quest, the town will be dead for the rest of the game ?

[warm parrot]

no idea , the zalysia quest ruined my morale ! 😄 havent progressed further ! 😒

[red oriole]

same, already stalled a lot hopping a fix would come soon, patch has come but no fix

[turbid narwhal]

Well I willbe

I jsut complted it

Got the message we stand strong
Came back, building was unlocked

[warm parrot]

Witout console ?

[turbid narwhal]

Yarp

Heading towards the spehere now

Lets hope I wont get the fail message XD

[warm parrot]

try saving before you go too far maybe it will remove the destroyed message 😄

[turbid narwhal]

XD

[jolly geode]

is there a way to fix in the name of science? never getting radioed to collect reward

[drifting cedar]

I finally i saved hamster and finished the quest at zalissya

wasnt there supposed to be a monolith fight or ?

[warm parrot]

Waiting for update to finnish . man im itching to dive in and see if i can do it also with no console !

[turbid narwhal]

Wells son of burer, toss me in to a whirlwing and call me a pseudo-giant

Its fixed

[jolly geode]

anyone

[red oriole]

I don't even know how to start this quest, got 2 collars in my inventory

[warm parrot]

Nah the door is still closed cand do anything

not fixed

[turbid narwhal]

On the Edge?

Yeah its fixed

Well apparently its fixed for some it seems

[warm parrot]

Im in zalysia now and the door to start the quest is still locked !

[turbid narwhal]

Hrrmmm

Try loiding a save pre-SIRCAA

[warm parrot]

I dont have a save that far back !

[turbid narwhal]

Ah..bugger

[drifting cedar]

yeah i got just took a lil bit of time to kick in. Everything for me atleast seems to be working and i completed the mission

yep got radio confirmation of zalyssia being safe

[warm parrot]

Lol somehow by some miracle some random npcs opened door to zalysia and i can start the quest ! Zona man !

[red oriole]

now I want to wait there for an emission

[shrewd chasm]

Found this Private Schwartz guy with a PKM and a key, anyone encounter something similar? Not sure where I would fit the key

[rigid juniper]

Progress the story

[warm parrot]

Managed to complete zalysia without it failing ! But the town hall textures are all messed up when you go away from the town and come back , but everyone seems to be alive ! The monolith attack weirdly came after i spoke with Gaffer to complete the quest and stepped a few meters from the town , Re-activating the quest for it to complete after the attack that spawned !

[sterile arch]

hi, i have a problem with quest. In "Zaton" there is location "Fish farm". I encountered this place during 2 groups fighting over stalkers locked in building. The problem is that one of them has a side quest, but you can not talk with him unles he will leave the building, how ever when i open the door he is the only NPC not leaving. I tried to help his friends outside so only "good guys" survived, killed everyone outside, opened doors before fight ended (he left the room to fight but than went back anyway and his dialog broke and se a source code for voice message XD). So I can not figure out if i can get this quest in any way. Any ideas? (can provide screan shots if needed).

Oke, i figured out how to make it work. First everyone bad guys have to win, than you have to kill them, than go to window so he asks you to help, than you get a key and open doors and only than he will leave the room so you can talk with him... broken, any way. Problem is that he still has a side quest flag (looking on map) after i gives you mone for help, but when you talk with him nothing is happening. Is there another side quest or just bugged icon on map?

[fossil iron]

Wtf are the devs doing lol. I played Zalissia quest again after the laest patch and it's still bugged as before. No monolithian attack and Bob saying they held them off and door to City Hall being locked.

When will they actually resolve this questline?

[fossil ridge]

You can get inside if you bring monolithians from the sphear and kill them inside the town but its bugged more in the mission

Im stuck on the mission part where you need to go to main hall after killing off the wave but for me it isnt ending the wave text for the mission

[fossil iron]

Damn. I still don't under why or how the devs have not been able to fix it

I mean people have been complaining about this since forever.

[brave jetty]

Zalissya bugged defense quest ruined my playthrough.

[red oriole]

yeah, looks like those fixes can't go back in time, sadly. finally managed to complete Zalissya but I had to rollback to an older save, lost about 3 hours and some stuff that I don't know if I'll find it again (that cool spring artifact). had the same thing in the Shelter side quest where the lab door wont open unless I go back before completing the quest (another 3 hours lost)...
hope we could at least name our saves, would help to manage timelines 🙂

[turbid narwhal]

The artifacts are random
So just find the anomaly type, make a F5 roughly 155m away from it
And than spam F8 till desired results, its how i got liquid rock

[round anchor]

Anyone have an issue with On the Edge and gaffer not showing up after killing uncle

[viral shoal]

Is the arena in Rostok bugged? Bcs I beat the first 3 rounds after that the quest won’t change even after 7 ingame days I can’t start a new fight

[static crow]

How far are you in the story

[edgy halo]

There seems to be a new bug in the side quest 'The Lost Boys'. After speaking to Max Saturday in the sewers, the door doesn't open when you flick the lever. Is there a way to report this or make devs aware etc?

[torn fog]

you need to sleep

[gusty kestrel]

Does some1 have bug with side mission A matter of honor?

[echo quail]

you need to progress on the main quests

for me the last rounds opened after i finished sircaa quests

[vivid adder]

People who have started new playthroughs since the patches, have things been working better for you all or still running into same quest bugs? Wanted to know before I start a second playthrough.

[pseudo agate]

Is the Zalissya quest bugged again? cuz they keep spawning in the building again

[turbid narwhal]

Try loading a save from before SIRCAA

[pseudo agate]

BEFORE

[turbid narwhal]

Yes

[pseudo agate]

ohh ffs im so sick of that mission

[turbid narwhal]

Listen or right after sircaa

Before is ideal

[pseudo agate]

i'll try right after SIRCAA

[turbid narwhal]

I have a strong feeling that the fix is not retroactive

[pseudo agate]

thats only an hour

[turbid narwhal]

also the quest is not 100% fixed

[pseudo agate]

it was for 3 days

[turbid narwhal]

It took me 4 reloads

before the quest finished properly

[pseudo agate]

on my first playtrough i stalled the SIRCAA mission after they first patch and after that patch the mission worked fine for me

anyway lets hail marry this shit

[pseudo agate]

@turbid narwhal well save right after SIRCAA seems to have worked sofar 🙂

[main bronze]

its normal soldear desapear when you loot the stash? the quest says to help him but he doesnt say anything

[tepid sandal]

For those having locked door in Zalyssia defence

Run to the Sphere, aggro some Monolithians.
Bring them back to Zal'
Kill them
Door should be unlocked now.

[brave jetty]

Mine wasn't the locked door issue. Mine was the one where after fighting off the monolith waves and Gaffer has announced that the settlement has survived with the quest cleared and everything. Then the radio would announce that Zalissya is now safe etc etc and then another radio announcement shortly after broadcasting that Zalissya fell.
