[nocturne vale]

same, also now however the locked door problem as well and monolith soldiers chilling in the main building i cant kill

[pseudo agate]

mine was that everybody was stuck behind that door

[timber elk]

hi all

just saw that i have a buggy side quest that is at the garbage to serve for Huron where you should check the death bodys for hints. if i am going in this house, there is no dead bodys^^

somebody else affected?

[pseudo agate]

ive had it happen to me aswell i just reloaded a save and there they were

[low hull]

How do i start the mutant collar quest? I have a collar in my inventory since forever

[sage canopy]

They said they are working on the zalyssia bug, mine are stuck in the town hall too...

[unborn zodiac]

where do i find the Dog Collar near Windmill? i found a redit post that says its at the center of the big anormaly, but its not (?)

[dreamy rock]

is it just me or is the "Defend Zalissya" objective in the "On the edge" mission not completing?

[dapper bough]

it's where a pack of dogs attacked you

[dreamy rock]

nevermind, found some enemiess on the right side of the village that weren't attacking with the others

[polar fable]

I never even got the defend zalissya quest just a radio broadcast and “on the edge” after finally getting the doors open

[dapper bough]

that mission is so broken

[unborn zodiac]

where is that? at the campfire at entrance of town? i ran away the first time to get cover and the dogs where gone as i went back

lather there where only pig mutants

[dreamy rock]

Oh my god I did it but there's some prick that is blocking the doors and won't move out of the way

[dapper bough]

I had them next to the windmill, where the pigs attacked me. They can spawn to the side of the cliff to the side of the anomaly

[unborn zodiac]

hmh ok i keep roaming the area then. Im now 60hrs in game and just went back to windmill to finaly finish the questline

maybe its bugged for me

[dreamy rock]

I'm genuinely stuck inside the building now

I hate this mission

[dreamy rock]

Oh my god I got out somehow

I glitched right through him thanks to the doors

[unborn zodiac]

nah no doggos here. There are some dead dogs at the big anormaly but noone got collar. Strange thing is, sometimes if i get near that anormaly i hear a sound like a wounded dog, but cant see him

this quest drives me nuts

you have like 1,5 sec to look arround near the anormaly before it kills you and i can clearly hear a wounded dog there

think he is below the map...

[unborn zodiac]

so i found out, the dog noises come from the 3 dead dogs arround the anormaly...

[raven nimbus]

Anything I can do to unbug "On the Edge"? Can't talk to Warlock he just says "The usual?" And then there's no option other than to ask what's new in the zone; tried reloading but still nope

[strong bolt]

So I have an issue with the king of the hill side quest, when I take the quest from the lady in the counter she instantly treats the quest as though I've killed one of the leaders but not the other and everyone outside the ship immediately becomes hostile, I'm a bit confused what to do about that

I guess somehow at some point one of these bosses have somehow died despite being in a safe zone and im being blamed for it

And since I'm in a safe area it's considering me instantly killing them in said area which is making everyone hostile?

[static salmon]

Try

Oh well, I just wrote an explanation to a new bug from the Zalissa Quest but the bot thought I was spamming and deleted my message completely, I gotta explain it all over again (using notepad this time lmao)

TLDR: || did someone else had this bug where after you save Zalissa, the Pharmacist quest to save the Technician is not important anymore because you are stopped by a new Monolith Attack? Then the main quest to save Zalissa ends, and the Technician is forced to die because you couldn't take the tools consdiering the game doesn't consider it important anymore? ||

[shy raven]

hey guys, on my save the quest on the edge is fixed now. I loaded a save just before arriving at ||zalissya|| and it all worked fine, i've been changing zone to be sure, and ||it still hold|| sooo i guess it seems that it's all fixed !

[olive mesa]

So is there any follow up to Unhealthy Competition depending on who you decide to side with?

[full ether]

I just finally got to the point in the story where the Zalissya attack happens, and I go over and only hear gunfire sounds (with no actual fighting) and the doors are locked for me. I thought I’d be safe from this quest bugging out since I had waited until a few patches before progressing my main story to the midway point/SIRCCA, but nope.

Let me go back to an earlier save and try. Who knew a single quest could be so broken?

[vivid adder]

Yea it's like the single most broken quest in the game lmfao. And it's already had 2 patch attempts

[unborn zodiac]

i tried to finish my broken "Nightingale's Hunt" by spawning all Collars in my inventory via Console but Quest dosent finish. I got "find collar near old mill" still unchecked. I went there the first time and ran away from the Dogs, as i came back 40 hrs later dogs where gone and Flesh spaawned there. I used FLY Mod to search the area for 2 hrs, no dead dogs except the 3 at the Anormaly. So i cant find the last collar anymore. I tried to finish the Quest by Console but i cant find the right Quest SID (think the whole Side Quest is counted as a Quest Step?) Any help / advise?

[amber blade]

why is this "Defend Zalissya" so fricking buggy.

[celest merlin]

Cus the monolith found out how to hack the internet

[amber blade]

also, anyone knows how XKillNpcInRadius command works?
all of those monolith got stuck inside the church building and can't come out, if i use XKillAllNpc command it will kill Lens too

nvm, i figured it out

[ivory flame]

i didnt even get the quest

[rare valve]

It was the same for me. There are a couple of workarounds involving using dev tools but I just skipped the whole mission altogether, didn’t want to risk broking something else

[tepid sandal]

Did someone managed to have "the sound of music" quest in dugga?

Can't seem to find the NPc that gives it

[hybrid burrow]

Does lens recover after living on the edge

[jagged glacier]

Hi all,
Is the “In the name of science” bugged because it stuck on waiting for reward

[queen linden]

guys is the zalissya side quest fixed?

[raven sky]

I just found out mine is bugged too. Are there any solutions? The door to the ward building is locked for me and enemies aren't spawning.

[sterile mango]

do collar mutants respawn? i think i turn in some of the collars before and now im a bit of stuck on a quest

[gritty venture]

is thera any side quest in duty base?

[golden vine]

oh wow i got back to Zalyssia and its there! Gaffer, Warlock and the medic guy - not bad thought i lost it

cant find the technician or hamster but i guess cant have everything 😄

[primal panther]

Hey guys, there’s a guy that says he wants to join monolith at cordon exit but when I come there he just acts as a normal npc with a weird pose. Has anyone encountered that? Or at least tell me what should I have happened

[queen linden]

Nope no solution bro we just gotta wait till they fix it. Im probably gonna make a new play through ngl but AFTER they fix like 80% of the bugs

[worthy bridge]

My game freezes everytime i get a radio message from some duty guys in the cooling towers area, it plays up until the third voice line and then the game just freezes Edit : Apparently switching to english voice acting makes it not crash for some reason.

[finite bluff]

If there are Enemies inside the building and wiggling try rolling some grenades through the door (those won't explode) or try move to the cliff where the wooden Gate is. I managed to lure 2-3 enemies in multiple tries outside the door and they went aggro. That way maybe the door can also be opened. I did this over 45min in the successful try hoping an enemy goes over the doorstep to aggro on me

[true wren]

I've been having that

Might try it

Friend of mine just finished sircca and when they got to zalissya building was locked with a tonne of loners and monolith inside

[finite bluff]

Yep happened to me, then I tried an found my described way of trying to get the monoliths outside the building

[proud stirrup]

Having issues with three captains side quest, when I accept, it auto credits me as both dead without killing them. I have previously cleared out the area where the whole fight goes down. Did I bug it?

[untold yacht]

You can often kill enemies related to quests before you actually do the quest. It might bug out as there are issues with exploring quest areas (opening code locked doors, etc.) before you actually do the quest and the mission won’t progress

[near seal]

I just did the lost boys side quest siding with the ninth, I told the loners the truth that he saved Mastiff and then killed them when they aggroed and got the blueprint, but Skif acts like I killed the Monolithian when I talk to Lens, is this intended behaviour to protect him or is it bugged?

[raven sky]

I managed to get one enemy to spawn outside the building one time, but the guys inside never engaged it. I was running around the town for about 2 hours so I'm done for now. I'm already on a second run since the first patch changed quest rewards, so unless the next one releases real soon I'm going to let the town die.

[cedar raft]

you have to go to the crane first, not sure if you want to save sultan and barada then you need to wait till that traitor witch will send her henchmen

and kill henchmen

[cedar raft]

i think key characters aren't present, but not sure

[fossil iron]

Has the Zalissia save quest been patched?

[whole roost]

for anyone who still has the zalissja bug. this is how I was able to complete the quest on Xbox:

|| at the beginning the doors were locked and there were several monoliths in the building, unfortunately as usual 🙄 after a few attempts and reloading the doors were open. I spoke to chef but he didn't start the actual dialogue; instead he started the mission straight away. after that I set off to kill Uncle Lyona, then I returned and was supposed to kill the monolith scouts. after that I went to my player storage box and every time I did that a few NPCs ran out of the building and the monoliths followed. this way I was able to kill all the enemies that were in the building first and the building was clean. and chef then started the actual dialogue for the mission I had just completed. then I left the village which then started the defense mission. so I went back and defended the village. after that everything went as it should. Village saved, chef gave a speech, mission complete. ||

Hopefully it helps 🙈

[spark cipher]

So I saved zalissya and gaffer did his speech as soon as I left the area he said zalissya as been lost and everyone despawned

[hasty dew]

I had a similar experience but they didn't despawned but a big battle started with quest markers, so at that point I knew the bug was gone.

So killing Lyonna fixes everything it seems. The tough part is to get the quest for it.

[empty robin]

I can't save zalissja, I can't do it

how to do this

||all this monolits in buildings||

[proud stirrup]

I went and explored the area with the crane first, but the crane with the sniper in it did not have ladder access, but I cleared out that specific area (of mutants and bandits) Then I continued my side story by getting the case for the boss (forgot his name) and after I did a few $ runs and when I came back the boss was gone, and she offered me three captains side quest, and when I accept I instantly get credit for killing them both. Now, whenever I reload, Both bosses are gone, nowhere to be found

[cedar raft]

wrong crane then 😄 its the first one, you get into that crane, kill the sniper, wait a bit, collect all the loot, and then the that trecherous witch guys will show up and attack sultan and barada guys, kill those guys and then you can talk

you will probably need to reload older save, you get achievment for this and money aand future tradaing oportunities

[proud stirrup]

You are not understanding me bro. I have cleared that ENTIRE area. been up the one crane, cleared it, nothing there. the QUEST CRANE has a yellow ladder that needs to come down ( I assume this happens during the actual quest) I did all these things BEFORE activating this quest bro.

[cedar raft]

hmm i see than gg for you :D....but its pretty weird, its like an event it should be triggered...congratz you are like an anomaly

its beter to side with sultan and beard

[pseudo agate]

anyone knows how to fix a barkeep quest? ive already finished the quest and returned to him and did a quest afterwards for him but now its stuck sayin return to barkeep. Its one of those generate quests

[golden brook]

I have the same bug with a quest at Yaniv, so it’s probably an issue with the generate quests not being properly flagged as completed.

[novel haven]

what are some things to do once you beat the main mission???

the game feels empty now

cant find many monolith to fight

where are all the human enemies late game

[cedar raft]

Harpy? I have aalso stuck quest there return to harpy and i did 🙂 got reward, nomore daily quests, or she is just lonely and missed me

[rich lynx]

does it matter which one choice i pick for Hollywoods Sidequest

[granite sierra]

Start a new game and play another side

[wise wolf]

It's pretty crazy that the Zalissya quest is still so broken

[novel haven]

Not really what I'm asking for

[cedar raft]

nothing, i have not finished yet, i have been exploring things

[novel haven]

Or like right before you beat the main mission so like late game

[cedar raft]

why do that? why to rush? there is a stick in the bumbum?

just chill, there are many things to find in zone, prepare for main mission etc., also would not recomend to play anything else than veteran mode, i have been in pripiat way before main quest same with duga

[novel haven]

Because I've already beat the game and I reloaded to the last mission before, I want more content to play

[cedar raft]

its finished duh, you have finished the main mission, now wait for DLCs

[novel haven]

Omg I'm asking for locations of monolith or cool side quests

[cedar raft]

not hard to do that, why don't you try?
you can google up some things

[novel haven]

Or ask here

[cedar raft]

most of side quest givers are dead at this point 😄

[golden brook]

Yep, that’s her!

[proud stirrup]

This is what I am trying to do. Every time I go back now, sultan and beard are gone from their usual throne/vendor spots, nowhere to be found. the crane area is still empty, but the moment I accept the three captains side quest, the battle starts and she says something like "leaving a job undone is unprofessional but my boys have your back" with the objective to kill them being ticked off, I try to rush towards the meeting area but bear and sultan are already dead on the ground in the locker room and the crane is available to climb with the named sniper rifle and hostile bandits all around.

I want to support the two leaders and kill her for her treachery

they should add an option to ask her to meet you outside the base so you can Boone: "One For My Baby" her ass

one thing that ticks me off about stalker is the forced non combat areas.

[cedar raft]

nah you have to sneak into the crane so sultan and beard guys would not spot you, then kill the sniper in the crane, you can turn on radio to listen to their conversation and wait a bit, then the traitors guys will arrive and starts shooting, just kill those guys and you can then enter inside where you can talk with those guys

i think i just sniped that other guys who came in to kill them from crane closest to me, got down from ladder and just went to their room, don't remember, don't think i shot at sultan guys...or they already all of them were dead

[proud stirrup]

yeah I'm bugged, I get no opportunity to sneak, the SECOND I accept three captains, the shooting starts and combat begins.

[worldly basin]

how the hell do i complete the quest that makes me defend zalissja from monolith??? it says kill all monolith but like there are no other outside, theres only few mono soldiers bugged inside that i cant shoot

[proud stirrup]

the game is spawning bear and sultan already dead or something.

[cedar raft]

what a hell....you can try to submit a request for devs, or somehow guess cordinates with UETools of that crane location and try teleporting with that, but i can't help you with UETools, all i did was just used UeTools to save zalisia when it was bugged and to ghost trhough the door when doors were stuck for the mission

[proud stirrup]

i am gonna leave that side mission till later, is there any part of the story that becomes "point of no return" that cancels side missions?

[cedar raft]

don't think so, after that i did not really had anything from there

[proud stirrup]

it is so weird.

[cedar raft]

did you do a quest for Barada where you met bandits in pig farm?

[proud stirrup]

nope no pig farm, but I did both bear and sultans side missions, saved bears boys from the circus freaks and retrieved sultans case

[cedar raft]

ah ok...so during exploration i went first to meet Barada in his trading post its south west from that location, we become friends when i helped him with those bandints, also achievment you can get from that quest, oh and this one

maybe that fails due to that quest that you missed, dunno

[cedar raft]

ah so you did saved, yeah, it was bandits, where you had to shoot apples?

with UETools you can teleport, but you need to know coords...not sure how to do that, maybe guess by trying, then if you teleport there maybe something else could happen

[carmine drift]

Hey do you guys know anything related to the hermits stash in cherevach?

[proud stirrup]

[hardy geode]

hmm when i try to turn in a side mission from hera at the duty base it doesnt finish the quest

i get the reward but still says talk to hera

[random valve]

Anyone get a game freeze at the cooling towers? There's a conversation between 2 duty guys and whenever Tryhub says a line the game always freezes.

Solution Found: You need to run up to them before they get to that point of the dialogue so that the dialogue that crashes the game doesn't even get said. If you can't find them, they're on the north side of the building

[cedar raft]

yeah...same...

[cedar raft]

yes, its not only for me, i heard for many, there is some missiong being spawned...i had to load older save and just go araound

[cedar raft]

would be helpful if you posted their location, though i dislike duty, i probably going to castrate them

[modest mason]

anyone know what do about the zalissya bug where theres a bunch of monolith in the hall after the sirca mission

nvm

[tranquil garnet]

if you go looting bodies some of them should go outside

but this eating time

[sand haven]

how many times did I need to reload 3 Captains to get far off targets to load more than their head (and thus their hitboxes, etc)

[tranquil flax]

Hi, idk if this is the correct channel for this, but I'm not getting side jobs from traders anymore. Tried sleeping through like 1 week of in-game time and every trader still says the "I have no jobs for now, come back later" line. Is my save permanently bricked for side jobs?

[tranquil flax]

nvm, fixed the issue. apparently a longer days mod was the cause.

[unique summit]

Anyone got advice for fighting pseudo dogs in the arena? Taking care of the normal dogs is easy but can’t tell if there’s an indicator as to which pseudodog copy is the real one

[hardy geode]

just gotta find the real one and ignore the fake ones. the real one often runs away from u i think

[full ether]

I basically gave up until another patch, the amount of bugs on that quest is embarrassing.

Even after the first wave works, the second wave just never finishes and a few stay inside indefinitely.

[muted veldt]

dgeist has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[arctic delta]

1. When you start, rush to the end and put 2 shots into the dog. You can put 2 more but it may be too late since he prob would have cloned away.

2. Hop onto a box and kill the blind dogs. Focus on them first.

3. Use the pistol or shotgun to shoot the clones that don't look like they are moving much , hiding and most likely far away.

4. If the shot does not make the dog disappear, you got the right one. Rush and kill as fast as possible.

I nearly died and used up almost everything to kill that. But seriously I can deal with random spawning stuff but this scenario is ☠️. If the psuedodog had less health, it would have been tolerable.

[fleet granite]

At the end of the „a light at the end of a tunnel” mission you get a choice between telling quiet that he’s getting a bonus or telling him that sidrovich is a crook. Is there any major difference or consequence to each option? I already chose to tell him he is getting a bonus but I’m just curious.

[static crow]

you can cheese most of the arena fights by jumping on the boxes

[frail lynx]

Sidorovich side quests disappeared after my first side quest
on release version I managed to take Swedish's part and still had the opportunity to take side quest
now regardless of my choice Sidorovich doesn't give me any side quest :/
Also, what i've read from the forums Sidorovich should give me 5K coupons if i'll take his side
Instead, he gave me only 2850

[novel haven]

late game where are all the monolithians?

or where to find them right before the main mission?

[restive echo]

i need help, THAT mission is still bugged for me

[gilded rose]

So I gotta question the vodka mission

Where you go towards the 3 stashes I went to the first one and instead of 2 anomalies I only got one is it bugged?

[lone needle]

Nightingale’s hunt is bug ?
I thought I finished it, some random npc pop and kill the bloodsucker, but I was unable to loot it and now the quest is stuck on pda like unfinished even if i already sell two mutant collar to hamster ?

And yes I loot the guy of course

[icy anchor]

Well Zalyssia quest is still bugged, this time every time I go to Zalyssia it's empty, all the monolith soldiers are in the building with the merchants running around, I can talk to everyone but there is no quest dialogue

[sour spoke]

you can fix that with commands

[low hull]

same for me

[icy anchor]

Xbox

[lone needle]

Which one ?

Is there the one for the nightingale too?

[quasi robin]

has anyone found a fix to continue the arena side quest i finished the third round and now hes not giving them to me anymore. also has anyone found a fix for the clusterf@$K weapon side quest?

[opal sequoia]

Progress more for the Arena to become active

I don’t want to spoil but I came to Rostov early, did the first three and could not do more until I progressed past a certain part in the main mission

[quasi robin]

what mission did you finish

[opal sequoia]

SIRCAA

After that you will be directed there

[proud stirrup]

I had the same issue. I couldn’t talk to Warlock to get him his gun or go down to talk to Hamster and Ricochet. I left the main building where Gaffer and the rest of them are, and eventually I was able to finish it, but it was still bugged. I’ve read this can happen if you get the call before getting to town or something like that.

[lapis whale]

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

[cunning vale]

Hi there, I'm currently stuck on the Mission "On the Edge", I can do the entire mission just fine, except for the "Find Mykolayich's surgery kit". Whenever I head out and grab that the doors to the building where I hand it in are locked. Can someone help?

[cedar raft]

just jump on container, well might need to try different containers until its positionion so you can shoot his head, and just shot him in the head until you run out of ammo

[wild condor]

So the mission three captains (the one where you can ||kill beard and sultan||) when I accept the mission from Sonya it auto completes the mission and she says over radio that her boys got it and it is not okay to leave the job unfinished. She gives me the reward, but is there a way to fix it?

[wild condor]

The problem is that I can't get the Sonya to disappear from Skadovsk and get the achievement ||Bring Skadovsk to its former glory||

[amber blade]

The village defense quest?

[paper sky]

just passed that quest it is still bugged

but i manage to save it

[proven egret]

Okay so if the Zalasya defense failed when I was in malachite I couldn’t figure out how to fix the quest. I don’t have a save anymore I’m way too far ahead now. But is there a way to revive the actors and subsequentially initiate the initial defense to trigger the side activity and allow for normal play. I know there’s a way to xstart quest etc and a way to spawn actors I just wouldn’t know the formality and console commands in the correct order

Anyone have any sense as to if it’s possible or it isn’t worth the trouble executing 4-8commands that may or may not break something

[restive echo]

Yes.

[steady ginkgo]

I have just managed to find a workaround for the monolith spawning in the main Zalissya building on my save. After shooting some guy in through the cellar door, the main building's door opened, allowing me entry but unable to execute the monolith. After some confusing testing involving walking around and trying workarounds others have mentioned, I noticed that no matter where I went, the stalkers/monolith would slowly move based on my positioning/facing directions. Eventually, my solution was to guide them slowly towards the door, which would trigger their normal aggro behavior. To do this, I had to position myself past where I wanted them to be, then look away from them. This slowly guided them towards me, up to a certain distance. After almost a minute, they crossed the room and left the building. I am free from this curse!

[paper sky]

real stalker experience, meat mincer

[versed fog]

Did I take too long or something? As soon as I tried helping Nightingale get one of his collars, he tells me to help him and when I arrive he's dead. Can I save him or something?

[trim oriole]

||Sadly no||

[glass elbow]

Not sure if the quest "In the name of science" is bugged but I just realized I never finished that quest and it has been stuck in the "Wait for your reward from Shcherba" state for a little while. Is there a way to unstuck it?

[topaz dove]

I have a question , I wad doing the Arena Side quest and it got stuck or something after the third arena figth , and it says wait for the arena to be prepared and I sleep 5 times and still is stuck , I let it be , maybe it fixes it's self.

[whole roost]

progress in the main story. then the quest will continue.

[topaz dove]

Ok, thank you

[proud stirrup]

Hi is any fix for Zaliisaya side quest after SIRCAA? Monolith spawned in the building and they dont come out so its impossible to kill em

[worn depot]

man that mission is such a mess

If you can find someone willing to give you a primer on how to use UETools, you may be able to fix it

[full ether]

Some have been able to slowly get them to leave the building by leading them / inching along, others (like me) haven’t had such luck and are now waiting for a fourth patch.

[proud stirrup]

Ok thx...... i got only 3 monolith bastards left in the building.....

[restive echo]

Did they not hecking playtest the game after zalissya? The enemies don't EVEN SPAWN neither the stalkers

[cloud kernel]

The quest reward for "Just business" is honestly very disappointing. It took me nearly an hour to complete it (with all the running) and the only thing you get is a helmet?

[mint cedar]

is that area still affected by the PSI bug? Everytime i go near that side quest i get a PSI bug

[cobalt gate]

Need some help with Lodochka (again)...
I'm doing the "A Sign of Hope" quest where we're supposed to ||turn off an antenna on top of the Noontide base||. I've done that ||spared the zombie|| and now I can't talk to the Professor. Instead of his bunker he's at the Shelter, in the huge area where we first meet Strider. He's there but he refuses to talk to me no matter what I do.
I'm currently in the middle of "Dead Frequency" quest and I'm not sure if I should push on further or if I'm basically just effed with the quest. I'm also afraid this might break the "Just Like the Good Old Days" again.

[true wren]

So how do i get back into Malchite ||After playing the spark line fore a bit? i can use a guide to get in, but can only leave through the sewer,|| is there a way to get in on foot? been walking for hours overweight and need a away to get in and use my stash.

Hello everyone, greetings from Germany

I have a problem with the quest

"in the name of science"

I found all 3 collars and killed the mutants, only the last one, which is up in Zaton, it doesn't appear, can it be that it's bugged, because I've already been there, I just walked through the world and looked around to collect a few artifacts and co

[cedar raft]

more like aa ban

don't click its a virus

[cedar raft]

as i remember its 4 collars, 1 is given north of malachite, because they already killed it

[cedar raft]

i can't post screenshot in this channel, mutant is controller its in a facility north of Hydrodynamics Checkpoint, its a controller first building long building when you enter it from south

[ashen anchor]

Okay, that would be very nice, I killed the psycho giant, because the dog, the cat and the controller, which is in Zaton at the top right, because I had already killed far from before, before I had the quest, is that the problem now?

[cedar raft]

not sure, if you need only collars, thats not the only mutants who drops it, you can check them in a amap, or not far from that location in wild island, there is a cat or psi dog, don't remember, north west of ex monolithian base,, there is like on other side of lake a bridge smth like it

[ashen anchor]

I can get an electronic collar via the console, but that doesn't do me any good

[cedar raft]

probably its not an issue not sure, but if you delivered secret documents to that crazy nerd scientist he gives you later then quest "in the name of science" aand it shows where to get those collars...you can try just to give him collars, 4 needed

thats actually pretty cool quest-line

Yes, I know that, I've already done that to give me these documents, I can post you a screenshot in pictures that works

[ashen anchor]

Yes, that's right, I've seen it, then you get the Gauss rifle and a little money

[cedar raft]

weird, if its mission it supposed to spawn another monster, try looking up and kill monsters there maybe one will have it

[ashen anchor]

what do you mean??

I think the problem will be that I was there before I had this quest or ??
but via the console I can't save this opponent or ?

[proud stirrup]

It could be the former. Do you have enough collars?

[cedar raft]

no you did not completed this quest, there was another quest i think where y ou also needed collars, but dunno why you decided to get it from that area :D...anyways try looking in that area for another monster, or get another collar, there is nearby Bayun with a collar also

but that nerd should accept any collars i am guessing

[ashen anchor]

I have 3 collars, I have already managed to warn a 4 with the console, but that didn't help, but as the colleague has already written that there are others who wear a collar, that would be an option, the only question is where can I find one..

That's what I tried to do, then he tells me not to disturb him in his work. but I have 4 in my inventory but the dot always stays up there, even if I have 4 collars with me .. weird bug or whatever that is.

[lone needle]

Does someone know if we meet again the 9 monolith we meet at the start of the game

[light axle]

hello fellow stalkers, I want to reset side quests I picked up to have a nice spotless endgame save file, any of you know the commands to reset/abandon these sidequests through the UETools?

I have two to find artifacts for the Barkeep and Owl

want to "abandon" those

[quasi hedge]

I'd like to know that answer too. Got this bugged quest from Needle in Malachite.

[queen linden]

yo guys did they fix Zaliisaya side quest?

[trim oriole]

Apparently not quite. A lot of people seem to still have issues. I started a new playthrough when patch 1.02 dropped and I only had one issue. But that was quickly fixed in 1.03. So in my personal experience it was fixed.

[queen linden]

alright ig im gonna start a new playthrough thank you tho

[trim oriole]

If you're on PC, worst case you can use UETools to fix it if it turns out to not work for you

[full ether]

Not for me, the second wave is still broken and never completes. Even if I go back to before the quest is triggered.

[timber wharf]

Second playthrough. The XStartQuestNodeBySID E07_SQ01_Spawn_MonoWave1_Squad fix worked the first playthrough. In that instance, I killed all of the Monolithians and didn't use UE Tools to eliminate them. This time, I'm left with a mob of monolithians milling about the room as the Gaffer, et al, say their closing lines. Any ideas on how I can get rid of the mob? (I've restarted the quest several times with the same outcome.)

[steady ginkgo]

Try getting them to leave the building first, or use commands to kill them.

[meager cloud]

One side-quest is broken. in the quest "In the name of sience" I was able to take a collar from a Bloodsucker, but the game did not register this action.

Now is a part of the quest shown at this place but no monster is there and the side-mission stops because of this.

[austere summit]

Defending Zalissya sode mission is still broken

Can't trigger it. Will have to reload old saves and hope it works like last time. But, even then, the guide trader, and tech didn't even spawn despite saving them

[safe ibex]

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

Need some help

[timber wharf]

Can't get them to leave as they are a frenetic mob of AI-life gone bad NPCs. Can't use UETools command to kill them as it will also kill needed named NPCs (Gaffer, etc.) intermingled among them. Can't shoot them. because I can't raise my weapons when in the room. Hence my dilemma.

[blissful sinew]

Zalissya misson bug, i play on console and i don't have a way to fix using any command or mod or whatever, what i do?

[steady ginkgo]

If they are monolith, you absolutely can use UETools: XKillNPCInRadius 1000 -9999 -1000
That kills npcs within 1000 units (short distance) with reputation between -9999 and -1000 (only the npcs that hate you)

[orchid mortar]

its weird. just gotta try make it work or move on. its not a big deal on your playthrough tbh just annoying

[blissful sinew]

the Monolith are all inside the main building in Zalissya, i maneged to take 2 out, but the others 7 are not even moving close to the door

[orchid mortar]

yea i made it work like that. left came back. trying pays off

[blissful sinew]

how much far you recomend?

[orchid mortar]

i left to do the sphere mission and came back and barely squeezed myself in until somehow the quest triggered

[blissful sinew]

i made the sphere misson first, then i got to Zalissya

[orchid mortar]

on my 2nd playthrough before that i didn’t have the bug on this 3rd one i did

[orchid mortar]

i did zalissya. saw all the monoliths being weird was like screw it sphere then came back and see if things changed and then did kinda follow some dudes walking inside and that’s how i manage

[blissful sinew]

Ok, I'll load a save before I get to Zalissya

oh wait

holy cow they are getting out of the building alone one by one

holy moly the mission fixed it self when i continued from the last save

[timber wharf]

Yep. Kills Monolith. Unfortunately, it also clears out all the other NPCs making the saving of Zalyssia moot.

[steady ginkgo]

If your rep with them is so low that they're under -1000, then maybe it's for the best

[timber wharf]

No indication of bad relations w/ the Zalyssia locals. Completed quests, etc. I'll give it another try.

[timber wharf]

UETools worked to kill just the Monolithians this time.

[ashen stag]

I am doing the mission in the name of science and I have killed all the monsters with collars but it still warns me that I have not killed the snork, I do not know if this bug is caused by the fact that before this mission I had already gained 3 collars and now I have two. does getting the collar from the console can help?

[azure lotus]

Does anybody know how to tackle with Leshy being less hostile in Lesser Zone?

[true ice]

I am about to leave the Lesser Zone and I've stumbled upon Leshy. I see that he has a sidequest marker above his head, but he immediately agros to me. I dont have my weapon out and I am unsure if its bugged or Im doing something wrong. (same issue I believe as above)

[proud stirrup]

Having issues with the defend zalissya quest, everyone is stuck inside the main hall where your bed and box are moved to, both friendlies and enemies, just holstering and unholstering till the end of time. Nothing progresses

[proud stirrup]

Okay so I've basically debugged the quest on my own leaving the area and coming back repeatedly

[cunning glen]

Found a bug when getting the case for Sultan. When I went to return it the dialogue is for starting the quest and then it crashes my game. Reloaded it a few times and its consistent. So now I just have his quest item as a permanent addition to my inventory

[dark robin]

Does anyone know how to fix warlock not talking to you about the quest in On the Edge side quest?

[foggy panther]

Why is Arnie not letting me do round four in the arena

[trail igloo]

If i want to reach 100% on Steam, exactly how many times do i have to play through the game?
Is it possible to save at a stand in the game to complete all relevant trophy endings? Like with Eldenring for example

[dark robin]

You need to progress the main quest till you get you complete Sircaa

[fluid pecan]

Is there anyway to get rid of the weapon from uninvited guests? the side-quest npc is gone and I can't get rid of the weapon

[idle anvil]

anyone having a bug with zalissya sidequest with talking with gaffer and enemies stuck inside the safe area with friendly's? I cannot either interact with the stalker to start dialogue or gaffer for the side quest. and if i leave the sidequest fails

[cosmic moss]

If you walk around Zaliysya for awhile they will eventually come out fighting. Might take a couple trys

[red oriole]

had this in a previous run, only way I found to complete Zalissya siege was to come help as soon as the quest was available (had to return to a previous save an hour back)

[wooden tree]

He is missing for me as well.

[wild raft]

I finally found the journalist 😦 😭

[calm flower]

😭

He got a pretty nice shotgun in that chest tho

[full ether]

I hope this quest is finally fixed in this next patch. I’ve paused playing on my save right before the call for help with hopes it’ll work properly.

[uncut shard]

I have messed around SIDs related with "eliminate the monolith scouts" but whatever i did, finishing "on the edge(return to Gaffer)" mark this quest as failed on the journal.
I have no idea how to workaround this.

[full ether]

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a workaround for it. And the completionist in me can’t deal
with that so that’s partly why I’m pausing. 😂

[worn depot]

That entire section of the game surrounding Zalissya after leaving ||SIRCCA|| is a mess. I've had Gaffer yelling at me over the radio for abandoning the town and never to show my face again, however I also have the achievement for saving the town. Yet, no one is in their normal places anymore but whoever isn't dead is holed up in the old Ward building.

It was all very confusing because half the time I didn't know what was normal or what was a bug

[slow sonnet]

Hi guys, I have a slight issue here. I am unexpectedly hostile with STC Malachite (Scientists) after completing a sidequest where I had to choose between handing the data over to the Ward. This is quite the blocker. Is there anythin I can do to reset faction relations?

[frigid canopy]

Why is that a blocker?
And yes, if you are hostile with any faction there’s a solution. Wait till they cool off and speak with a leader if required (don’t think that you’ll need it with Malachite specifically)

[sonic sail]

Those suggesting going straight to zalissya after SIRCCA to fix the mission, it worked for me and I was able to do it for the first time aince launch, here's hoping no other issues come up after I've finished it (moving tomorrow so computers being disassembled and packed for transport before I could finish the defence)

[slender falcon]

There a way to talk to the shash without him getting hostile

Or is the entire brood bar fodder

[uneven latch]

Hey all, I completed A Light at the End of the Tunnel side mission, but I can still ask quite to remind me about our deal. I'm confused. Is this normal or bugged?

[rich marsh]

This worked indeed. I am just constantly interrupted by attacks that i can’t retrieve the surgery tools. Any tips? Then when i take all out suddenly the mission is a success and the optional goal is gone 😒

[sonic sail]

Sounds like the "final" raid? None new showed up until after I did gaffers first task, I did all optionals first and seemed to work fine

[rich marsh]

Hmm so i went a save back, could locate the tools but now i can triggee the final raid 😄 😄 😄 🤦‍♂️

[low hull]

So I just managed to finish the zalyssia quest, I reloaded a save made just after leaving sircaa and ran straight to zalyssia, i got there and there were monolith soldiers inside the building like always -_- so i ran outside the village and came back and a few monolith came out of the townhouse, i had to run out the village and come back a few times before i managed to get all of them to come out, after all the monolith were dealt with the quest progressed as normal, just make sure to do all the optional objectives before going after uncle, after everything was done i left zalyssia and a radio announcement came from gaffer saying that the monolith are back, i went back, killed them all, attended gaffer's speech in the townhall and talked to him one last time to finish the quest, hope this helps.

[rich marsh]

I did all like you but didn’t go to uncle sooner. Will give it one more shot ❤️ thanks

[glad raven]

Hi everyone 🙂 i am 60h in the game and love every aspect of it. I am stuck on the electronic collars mission. A snork is supossed to spawn next the brood base (near the car cemetery) but it just don't heppen :(. When i walk near the cars i can hear a beep beep (from the proximity of the collar) i suppose but it look's like it's burried underground. any idea ? thank you

[rich marsh]

So one more update. All went well…gaffer thanked me to be the only one to help…all is golden, but i still fail the step to repel the attack 😄 should i just not care and move on?

[low hull]

Did he do his speech in the town hall?

I got a "repel the attack" objective shortly after i finished the quest but it didn't fail, just got greyed out and all was good, left zalyssia and got a radio announcement from gaffer saying zalyssia is safe

[rich marsh]

How would a fail lool like? Red cross? I got the good speech and yeah the. The quest complete but repel does not have a green tick.

[hoary sierra]

i think i've got a bug where Journalist's Stash on Clear Sky barrack wont spawn, i assume bcoz i've already have suit with enough psy protection so it wont spawn...

[frigid canopy]

I found snorks collar accidentally, without a quest. Body was in a tall grass just in wilderness

[sonic sail]

Na, it's also got two important USB drives, and it was there both times I went with 2 different playthroughs with 2 different psy protection suits

[glad raven]

I think its the same for me... Except that the snork body IS underground.... 😅

[rich marsh]

i guess i will replay the mission with the bug fixes from the recent patch 😄

[final sandal]

mine was currently stuck in nightingale hunt quest can't turn collars in to finish quest if your inventory have other quest collars , wonder if they fixed it in this patch yet cuz i don't see they mention it in patch note

[tacit plume]

Quick question if someone may:

If I did the SIRCAA map, the quest from quiet is no longer obtainable?

[trim oriole]

Due to plot events it will no longer be available.

[tacit plume]

Dang

Well I got a save before all that

[open ether]

I seem to be able to finish the bugged Zalissya quest almost. Everything that needs to happen seems to happen, but the defend from the final assault objective doesn't complete and all the NPCs stand around in the circle saying that Zalissya is saved indefinitely and I can't fast travel back to Zalissya. Anyone find a way to get the last objective to complete?

[proud stirrup]

Hi,
The mission "Collect Electronic Collars for Scherba" is broke for me. I didn't get any quest marker after collecting all the collars, so the mission won't progress. Anyone facing this issue?

[wise wolf]

I have the same issue, not found a way to complete the quest

[cobalt gate]

Anyone still having issues with Journalist stashes not being "found" despite taking everything out of them?

That's the "Seek, and you shall find" quest from Deluxe and Ultimate edition

[little urchin]

Try to put something in it, close stash, open again, take all, close. Helped me with some other bugged stashes

[cobalt gate]

Nope, doesn't work, thanks for trying though

[grim belfry]

what's the quickest way to have radiant side missions from people like boozer become available again?

[rich pumice]

Man it felt real good to finally finish Degtyarev's business with Snag (with a spas-12 )

[tough tree]

Does anyone know the console command to advance the On the Edge quest? My game is stuck on the Fight off the Monolith attack step and I just wanna clear the quest out.

[strange void]

Same have you found any way to fix it?

[surreal maple]

Same here, somehow in my case after the second attack, the quest cannot be completed if the outcome is Gaffer sitting behind a desk and say something like "Zalissya is safe"

[full ether]

Same issue for me, quest is done but doesn’t actually complete. Waited to play again for this patch to advance beyond this quest just for it to STILL be bugged.

Lmao.

[tough tree]

So I found this command:
XDKFinishQuestStage E07_SQ01 E07_SQ01_defend_against_monolith true
Which completed the 'Fight off the Monolith' stage BUT it did not fix Gaffer being stuck in the endless loop of the celebration speech. The friendly NPCs and him are all still in the town hall and I can get Gaffer to repeat the speech as much as I want.
So then I tried this command:
XDKFinishQuest E07_SQ01 true
and that got the quest out of my log. Gaffer and them are still in there, the speech still repeats.
I got the commands from this reddit post
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gxavo9/zalissya_defense_activity_bugged_out_completely/lyu45kt/

[full ether]

Meh. Let me just come back for 1.12 and see if the 57th fix for this one quest works. 😂

[tough tree]

Don't blame you, in my save the Guardian of Freedom stalker suit still cant take the second lead container upgrade either.

[devout spindle]

So uhh... I died 7 times and spent maybe 30-40 minutes trying to kill Tyrant for the Arena quest with only a knife.

And I finally succeeded...

But also very VERY painful.

Oh and the reason for that cause I remembered in Shadow of Chernobyl, you need to kill a exo-armor guy with only a knife in the arena.

[sacred yoke]

@deep phoenix Hopefully they'll patch it one day
As of now it doesn't seem to be a problem
Just a bit annoying that it doesnt go away

[deep phoenix]

id be careful as when i went to rostok before doing the defense, zalissya falls

im at the exact part your at, ive been doing it for 2 hours, theres 1 ending where it does work and completes the mission buts if like most the npcs die

[deep phoenix]

i believe certain npcs dying causes the mission to not be marked as complete, i believe ricochet and milk can cause it, i was speaking with someone earlier today saying we were supposed to revive someone but i cannot find anyone to revive

[sacred yoke]

Damn
Hopefully a future patch will just resurrect them

[deep phoenix]

im trying to find out if the npcs are actually important, if they are then ill just let them die and carry on, so i can atleast "save" zalissya and not let it fall

[sacred yoke]

Guys, I'm at hornet nest mission trying to save strelok
After saving him I can't talk to him tho

Do I miss something important if I just leave him there?

[somber sparrow]

Anyone remember the scene in the trailer where Skif climbs onto the tower in Rostok and attacks the Freedomers? Is this quest anywhere in the game or was it cut?

[tired kindle]

I’m on the hot on the trail mission hv i skipped on the edge?

[dawn cobalt]

I think you can still do on the edge you just have to head to zalissya

[tired kindle]

He has no quest yet

[dawn cobalt]

Hmmm looks like you have to do it before then I remember on time I could do the side quest before talking to ||lodochka||

Cause once you enter the ward building gaffer should auto talk to you about the quest

[low hull]

I got a radio announcement from gaffer as soon as i left SIRCAA and i had to run straight to zalyssia to be able to complete the quest, that was before patch

[dawn cobalt]

After patch you should be able to go to zalissya to do the quest I tested it rn and had hot on the trail active. No monolith should be in the building. But I am getting issues completing the quest like many others

[deep phoenix]

when i skipped zalissya, i got a radio by wild territory saying that zalissya has fallen

[dawn cobalt]

I saw your previous comment about the npcs. Can't get ricochet or lens to survive the attack

[deep phoenix]

i just did the mission, and have left it, not sure what that outcomes gonna be but when i was leaving i got a radio saying zalissya is safe, hopefully it can return to "normal" now as lens survived, ricochet was the guard with hamster so i acc dont think it matters if he dies or not, going to rostok after doing it hasnt given me a radio saying zalissya has fallen

[dawn cobalt]

Does milk really matter? Out of all the npcs that's the one dying the most whenever I try reattempting

[deep phoenix]

dont think so, he died on my initial run before the attack even happened and i still got the "good" outcome

[dawn cobalt]

I'll give up on the quest and hop no main mission bugs will occur

[deep phoenix]

wouldnt give up, just do the assault and if it doesnt complete just leave, thats what im doing and im on the next mission already

and if ppl die and u get the "bad' ending then that might even be better, cos at least the mission will be complete

[dawn cobalt]

True but the leader in me doesn't want anyone to die lol

Everytime I leave it still says to defend the attack

[deep phoenix]

yh but u still get a radio when u leave saying its safe in zalyissia, so hopefully its just a visual bug

[dawn cobalt]

I get the radio call that zalissya is safe and for people to comeback but doesn't mark it complete still 🤷

[surreal maple]

Same

[dawn cobalt]

Just realized 1.1.2 came out imma try this quest again fingers crossed

[surreal maple]

Just did, nope

[shut arrow]

Same. This bug ruined all my immersion tbh. I think I have to try again one year later

[surreal maple]

Yeah i just want all green checkmarks and safe zalissya, sh*t is annoying

[marsh hawk]

i cant even open doors to start defense zalissya quest

[surreal maple]

Maybe start a save before it triggers the mission

[dawn cobalt]

when you mean trigger the mission you mean when we get the first radio call? Or when we talk to gaffer to start the quest?

[surreal maple]

Best way is before you get the first radio call

[dawn cobalt]

took your advice and this the first time i be seeing lens standing what a fantastic patch lmao he dont need no medkit

[surreal maple]

Yes, you need a save way before the mission is triggerd otherwise the patch will not activate properly

[dawn cobalt]

had a save way back and booked it straight for zalissya and still dont have it completed oh well

[surreal maple]

Imma try again 3-4 months from now, fresh playthrough 😂

[dawn cobalt]

lmao probably best move my brother is watching me play and im tryna explain to him this issue we have

[fallen wave]

New playthrough, on the edge still broken

[dawn cobalt]

rip

[livid drift]

heyo, i have a problem with the quest "the mysterious case", where i need to find and bring sultan his briefcase back, but when i got back to skadovsk/sultansk, he doesnt offer any kind of dialogue regarding that quest

[cosmic cargo]

Any fixes yet for weird breaks like those like “return to” but u lose 100 percent of jobs from them

[lament rover]

how do ppl talk to Roosevelt? mf wants smoke, it's on sight

[full ether]

For people stuck with Zalissya quest not completing after the second wave, I tried today and I left the settlement completely after defeating Monolith, let the victory message come over the PDA, and then go back to then speak to them all in the town center.

Before, I went to the center and spoke before leaving. Once I did it in this order today, it completed and now vendors are back and the intercom is saying it’s safe there on repeat. Hopefully this helps some others.

[kind bear]

Trying to finish "in the name of science", but Shcherba has no interact option when I return to him, despite the objective telling me to deliver them. Anyone else deal with this?

[tacit plume]

Aside from Quiet's quest (Light at the end of tunnel) are there any other side quest one should do before going to SIRCAA?

[dawn cobalt]

this works bless your soul 🙏

now i got two lens and warlock npcs lmao

[surreal maple]

The mission is finally completed, hamster and ricochet are alive. Lens is still laying on his bed. The only wierd thing is that in the completed mission objectives "Eliminate Monolithian Scouts" is marked out red. And im sure i killed them.

[full ether]

Same, that’s another bug everyone is facing. But I got the coupons for it anyway, and now at least the quest completes and the settlement is “somewhat” restored (granted, I miss how it was before the attack! It had a nice community, now it’s kinda depressing even when successful lol)

[surreal maple]

And i noticed that i have budda's pda in my inventory, does anybody know what quest name that was?

[lavish axle]

Pretty sure it's bugged and not related to anything.

Would be fun if GSC instead of just patching it to make it not marked as a quest item, actually added a relevant quest for it.

[young urchin]

I'm stuck on "The misterious case" for Sultan, I took the case and came back to the ship but Sultan is not there, all NPC act like he is there, What do I do? I'm stuck now with a 2 kg object I can't unequip. Pd: I took this mission early and did nothing, now I'm at "The Boundary" as main mission.

[proud stirrup]

@everyone Hello There is an unlimited money glitch on the mission named "à cran" when I want to validate the quest with the old man I receive 1000coupons but the quest is not validated.

[young urchin]

I have tried to teleport NPC to me, but no luck.

[wild karma]

Hello. some questions. Sorry for my bad english.

I did a quest to save people for the guy who up the weapons and armor from the first village. I met the ninth of the monolith and I helped him. He offered me something to up weapons. Is it normal that I can’t find this upgrade kit in my backpack ?

On returning from this mission I went through a bridge, I spoke to a neutral NPC and I noticed a small island with an artifact, but when I go to go for the artifact, this bastard shoot me, is that normal ? He wanted it or is it just a bug A-life ?

[young urchin]

now Dr. Shcherva is also dead and I cant give him the collars, another unresolved side mission 😡

So now I have dead for no reason Dr. Shcherva, Sultan and Strider (and this probably will bug break my game as i progress in the main story)

[prisma tartan]

After recent patch, anyone tried 'Shift Change' side mission at Waste Processing Station in Wild Island?
When I got 'Kill the controller' objective in the building, I couldn't find a controller. I don't know it is because of mods or vanilla version problem. Can anybody check the 'Kill the controller' objective of 'Shift Change' side mission?
*When I did this mission with release version with no mods, I could complete this mission clearly.

[prisma tartan]

I solved this problem.
I stopped playing this mission and went to the Cement Factory.
After that, I went to the Waste Processing Station and to the basement where the Controller should be.
When I arrived in basement, zombies who had been killed by me were alive and there was the controller.

[thick egret]

Having a difficult time with Three Captains quest in Zaton... the quest auto-completes immediately when I accept it. I visited the dock cranes before taking the quest, I see online that is an issue... I figure the targets spawned at the location during an emission or something and died. Re-loading a save is out of the question, hours of gameplay since I visited the area and the saves don't go that far back anyway. sigh

[torn fog]

is Harpy quest "An Order from Harpy" bugged? did it, got money but it is still there

[fading cove]

Harpy side quest bug any fixes ?

[deep phoenix]

im doing this but still not working for me? i kill last monolithian, and before i go into the building, run outside zalyissia, he says it over the radio, run back and then listen to the speech in person?

[hearty pollen]

zalissya 2nd wave not spawning, is there anything I could do? I started the playthrough on 1.0.0 but waited until 1.1.1 to start the zalissya side quest

[young urchin]

1.03 fixed that quest for me so should be fine

[full ether]

Yeah, I killed them all, he said to meet inside — Instead I left and got the message saying the settlement is safe for everyone. I then went back and listened to the speech and it completed. Maybe try going further away from it before returning to make sure it resets?

The “defeat the second wave” or whatever objective turned grey rather than a check mark, but the quest itself finally completed and the vendors reopened. (And the achievement unlocked.)

[deep phoenix]

did you have a happy ending or was it a sad ending where ppl he said look at all the dead bodies?

[full ether]

I think they always comment on everyone that’s died in the assault, but then that they’ll rebuild and it’ll always be a safe place for Stalkers. Now when I visit, over the intercom it’s repeating how it’s a safe destination etc.

He did thank me for saving them etc too

They key was leaving and letting the victory message come over though before hearing the speech. I did it opposite order before and it wouldn’t finish the quest.

It seems to be working for many, but not everyone to use that workaround.. Just so buggy!

[deep phoenix]

i had 2 endings, 1 where alot of npcs died and theyre kinda sad but theyll rebuild - this leads to a mission complete with no tick, then theres 1 where npcs dont die but theyre more happy and jokes get thrown about, thats the one that doesnt work

[full ether]

Mine they were still joking about since when were you sentimental etc etc, so maybe that’s the one still and it ended successfully either way?

[hearty pollen]

well it's not fine for me

but prolly coz I didn't start a new game

[deep phoenix]

where abouts did u run to? north, south? or was it just outside map circle?

[young urchin]

My run was also from 1.0.0 and when I got the update for 1.03 I was indeed waiting for 2nd wave to trigger, idk sorry mate.

[strange void]

On the Edge quest my game is stuck on the Fight off the Monolith attack step anyone know how to fix this on Xbox?

[hearty pollen]

how long did u wait?

[full ether]

toward where the dogs side quest was

[full ether]

Try leaving before listening to the speech after clearing, that’s what we are discussing / worked for some

[strange void]

Didn’t work

[dawn cobalt]

When you left the area you made sure that gaffer said zalissya is safe right? That's when you head back

[remote iris]

reposting this from another channel, seems its already a topic theme here.. but needing help with Zalissa too..

Anyone remember / know the workaround and fix to get Zelissa defence quest moving again... Involved using console commands to teleport away and some other things..

After patch and reloading an old save..one that sadly has at least 1 emission that happened before I made it to the town...which is what some think is breaking it...
Some npcs are out of the city hall now, but the door is still locked, and have yet to get the message of the town being defended etc etc.. still likely some Monolith stuck in the safe zone, breaking everything...

So far last message from Gaffer is that they really need help...
Town is ruined, can hear gunfire near the road entrances..
No monolithians to kill.. though I do have 3 "x" markers inside the locked city hall showing there are some dead...

[north heart]

The sidequests from bartenders sometimes doesn't register as finished if i turn it in. I get the reward money but the quest is still active making it impossible to get more side missions from them.

[icy grove]

Stuck on the side quest "in the name of science" I have all 4 collars but Shcherba keeps telling me im distracting him and no dialogue option to hand the collars over. The quest marker didn't appear for his location once i got all the collars either.

[young urchin]

nothing, it was instant after patch 1.03, before with 1.0.0 I had same bug as you, the patch was release while I was doing that mission, I was waiting for devs to fix the issue to continue playing. Try running away from the outskirts of the town maybe it will triggger the 2nd wave, or try to force an emission.

[deep phoenix]

ok cos i walked that way and went all the way to the bubble anomaly, and it still didn’t work

[indigo stream]

Fail

[proven flame]

Can someone help here please... I think the "Nightingale's Hunt" quest is broken. I already have the electronic collar but the NPC Hamster wont take it, there's no option, the only option is "do you pay for collars?" an then nothing, just "I'll bring them later"

At the moment I accept this quest i already had 5 collars... So i accepted the quest, the NPC died and i spoke with hamster but at that moment i did not have the dog collar but had 5 other collars, so i said that the NPC was dead... after that i got the dog collar and return to hamster but there's no options anymore

[tardy jetty]

Most likely bugged or they have a different use later in the game. Hamster just stops buying the collars from you at some point in the game, if you do the quest the first time you are at Zalissya you will be able to sell him the 2 that you find initially, but he won't buy any more from you in the future, it is possible if you do the quest late after finding some more collars that he also just stops buying them from you even if you never sold him any. There will be more stuff tied to the collars later in the game I think so you might be able to get rid of them further down the line but I'm not sure as I haven't made it that far myself yet.

[proven flame]

I did not sold any collars to him before, and I can't complete this quest because he won't take the dog collar... I think the bug happened because I spoke to Hamster after Nightingale death and before I get the dog collar and already had 4 collars from other mutants

[odd anchor]

finished the defense of zalissiya, but the quest itself won't finish after gaffer's speech

what do

[full ether]

Try leaving Zalissiya, listening to the victory message over PDA, and then going to listen to the speech. Don’t listen to the speech right away. Worked for me and some others.

[odd anchor]

yeah i just got it

[deep phoenix]

i must be doing something wrong then, will give it another try now

idk if its due to ricochet cause he is always dead for me

[dawn cobalt]

Ricochet is dead for me too cant do anything to save him but another way to verify that you completed the quest is that you can talk to lens and repair your guns/armor

When the quest doesn't complete for me is when lens is still lying in bed

[deep phoenix]

ok so itll work if i see lens up and about, ok

how far out did u run? and also did u run back into zalyissa while he said it was safe over the pda, or after? im trying so many different combinations to try get it to work

[dawn cobalt]

you only really need to go as far as until gaffer says that zalissya is safe to come back to, i got a bit annoyed with the quest that i roamed a bit further away then came back to hear gaffers victory speech in the town hall

[deep phoenix]

and does it complete straight after the speech?

[dawn cobalt]

nah slight delay give or take 15 seconds then it will mark complete but the bullet point for defend against monolith is grayed out rather than green check mark

i just talked with gaffer after his speech so do that just in case

[tardy jetty]

I personally had to walk north as far as the entrance to the garbage before the quest would complete, going only far enough to hear the gaffer speak thru the radio did nothing for me

[dawn cobalt]

oh so you did the town hall speech first then left towards garbage for it to be completed?

[deep phoenix]

for me speaking to gaffer again just repeats his speech, i went over 400m westwards until i spoke to a ward soldier then ran back and still didnt work

[tardy jetty]

Yes, I tried stuff like not listening to the speech and leaving first but that didn't do it either, listened to the speech and then walked towards garbage and it worked

[dawn cobalt]

dang mileage really varying for this quest

hopefully your way helps out cutive

[tardy jetty]

it is definitely still wonky and not very clear on what to do for every step

[deep phoenix]

im in garbage atm, quest isnt complete either

did u go back and speak to him after going in to garbage?

[tardy jetty]

I understand the game wanting you to walk away so zalissya can reset and stuff but they could be clearer on what it wants you to do

[tardy jetty]

no, I just walked and the quest completed, I went back to zalissya and it was reset with new npc layout and stuff, and they talked about the defense when speaking to them

[deep phoenix]

so u never heard the speech?

[tardy jetty]

I did

after the speech I just started walking towards garbage

right around the entrance to the garbage it completed

then I went back just to see if it did anything and it did

[deep phoenix]

ok different question, do you guys have someone in the floor consistently shooting, just north in zalissya?

[tardy jetty]

no

[dawn cobalt]

no but i think i keep on hearing gun shots in the distance every time i walk north

at the same place

could this be a monolith soldier?

[tardy jetty]

the quest is kinday wonky, it might take another try for you to complete it, I would reload a save before the monolith waves if you have one and redo it from there, once you succeed in defending it, listen to the speech and then walk away and keep walking till it completes, another tip would be to try and run out of zalissya before the monolith waves start showing up, and then run back to defend, might help, thats how I did it, not sure if it made a difference

[deep phoenix]

i have been, ive been doing this quest just before 1.1

[tardy jetty]

possibly, I did get a group of monolith spawn to the north when I started walking, not sure if it was a-life doing its thing or some of the remaining soldiers from the attack

[deep phoenix]

https://medal.tv/games/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl/clips/jkTTu2iZvykDhI5RR?invite=cr-MSx5TmgsMjkzMjc5NTI0LA

[tardy jetty]

thats bizarre xd

[dawn cobalt]

ahhh yes yes this is it i never realized it was someone in the floor lmao

in that case nah that doesn't contribute to the quest but it is pretty confusing hearing that every time going north

[deep phoenix]

im going to load a save at wild island and see if it works again from scratch, this time im going to leave the monolith scouts maybe

[dawn cobalt]

fingers crossed

[tardy jetty]

for what its worth I completed all the optional stuff before speaking to gaffer to start the monolith waves, once you kill the monolith scouts you can talk to the guy outside the building(the one that points them out the first time) and he'll give you some coupons

good luck, fingers crossed

[deep phoenix]

ok, im reloading a save now cos ive never tried this

i wonder if thats why

didnt realise i had to speak to him

[tardy jetty]

it could be maybe yeah, he just gives some coupons and doesn't complete that specific task (think it completes right after you kill them) but its possible

[deep phoenix]

nah it didnt work for me, i actually hate this quest so much

and did both ways, run away, speech then wait, and also speech and run to garbage and nothing

[tardy jetty]

Wonder if clean saves have anything to do with it, my save was still at sircaa I believe when 1.1 dropped

[deep phoenix]

my save was wild island, before the quest spawns

cos before i was stuck on the door bug, came off for the night, had major issues reloading because they fixed the door bug but was launching into a save that had it, and loading into wild island fixed it

lens is still in the bed and hamster has disappeared, strange

[dawn cobalt]

hamster for whatever reason disappears but since now i know that you didn't do optional objectives before, Lens should still be in bed. It is only after the town hall speech is when he fully recovers. Im assuming that if you don't get the medkit for the doctor Lens wont survive

Hamster is at town hall for me after the mission completes

One change I did notice in the townhall speech is that they mention that Lens will pull through and survive, indicating that you completed the quest. If you don't have this dialogue in the speech, then it doesn't complete

[deep phoenix]

nah i did do all the side quests, and hand them in just not the monolith scout one

i used to get stuck handing them in until i did it in a specific order

gaffer, warlock, warlock, gaffer, med, gaffer

i would spam the second gaffer as he would give me unlimited koupons until i handed in the meds to save lens, which then when speaking to gaffer enough would cause the attack

[dawn cobalt]

Hmmm strange it shouldn't even matter what order you do them. So no luck still?

[deep phoenix]

no, i given up for now

[dawn cobalt]

Don't blame you

[deep phoenix]

ive spent so much time hearing the victory speech, im gonna go insane

[dawn cobalt]

You just gonna wait for patch then or you moving on with main mission?

[deep phoenix]

i do have a save moving on w the main missions, but as it didnt change zalissya im not gonna progress and im gonna wait for an update, i contacted support and waiting if they respond

[full ether]

Sorry to hear that 😦 The run away and then speak to him worked for me. I had a save that was during the fight too, so it wasn’t a fresh one or anything. Such a buggy quest!

[lone coyote]

is this the channel i can discuss a bug im running into for a side quest?

and potential fixes if anyone else ran into the same bug

[dawn cobalt]

Yeah you can talk anything sidequest related here. Hopefully someone has a solution for you

[lone coyote]

i finally got the side quest to finish after reloading a couple times. was planning three captains and once i finished talking to sultan and beard the quest wouldnt end

[dawn cobalt]

Funny cause I think three captains didn't have any bugs in 1.03

[autumn eagle]

https://youtu.be/za0XBEu01ro?si=C2ScpQ71yqDSCK6n

[rich lynx]

I have the same issue currently. Was stoked for the update thinking it fixed the quest so I can save zalissya.. that excitement was short lived.

[deep phoenix]

honestly, i left it and went on with the other missions but hearing ppl be able to fix it made me go back, disheartened now

[rich lynx]

I'm on console so those fixes dont apply to me sadly. But I'm in no hurry. Hopefully by the time dlc drops it'll be fixed and I can get many more hours out of the game.

[prisma scroll]

guys i have this issue in The Lost Boys, where Max’s body just never spawned

anybody having this issue?

[ornate wraith]

I was able to finish On the edge, after speech quest didnt complete but when I left zalyissa ot completed and when i got back all was normal and mechanic was well again. Maybe it helps someone

[deep phoenix]

how far did u go?

[analog frigate]

On the edge I’m having the same issue. I hear the speech, tried walking away from town and nothing. Sometimes when I walk away from town I don’t hear the whole message from gaffer on the radio. It’s so frustrating, literally tried everything for like 3 hours before I gave up lol

[ornate wraith]

Like quite far actuall, to the northern border of the lesser zone, the building with the broken bridge to the garbage

[deep phoenix]

tried it this morning, didnt work 😦

[ornate wraith]

Mhh what kind of speech is he doing

The one were he thinks about giving up zalyissa or the moore postive one?

Cause when many stalkers died he gave a different speech, were warlock then convinces him to still stay in zalyissa. In this case the quest completed immediately, howevee I dont know if then the technician gets up again

[deep phoenix]

ive had both, and yh sad was completed, happy hasnt, ive been doing this quest since 1.1 came out

[charred matrix]

Is the 3 captains quest bugged?

[analog frigate]

The speech about about zalyissa is saved. It’s weird, it’ll cut out sometimes

[tardy jetty]

it worked for me, I tried it after patch 1.1 I believe

[torn fog]

what is bug for you there?

[fading cove]

On the edge mission bugged stick with “fight off the monolith”

[charred matrix]

Right after I accept the mission it completes and wants me to pick up my reward. And now I cannot get into the ship.

[analog frigate]

Yeah man it seems we all having this issue lol. Luckily I have a second save where I just go around and do all the trader missions. It seems most people can’t even finish the story anyway due to bugs

[dawn cobalt]

So nothing changed for on the edge after 1.1.3 it seems

[analog frigate]

Unfortunately 😞

[ornate wraith]

Have you tried to stay away some time with "sad" ending if mechanic recovers after some time?? All in all I fully understand you wnna complete it but tbh since there is no guide anymore in zalyissa you wont go there anyway in the future to repair stuff etc. So finishing with sad ending might be just gine

[deep phoenix]

might try it again, just need it to proc by letting the nps die, i gave it 1 last shot to see if it worked or not and it didnt but yh i was just tryna exhaust all options before choosing the sad one

[ornate wraith]

I mean its kinda a rising from the ashes ending, where they come back stronger than ever before. So one could see it as the real good ending

[south tinsel]

On the Edge quest is still imposible to finish for you?

Because i got stuck after killing last enemies

[jade knoll]

not 4 me too

can't finish

[jade knoll]

best solution is just done all the helping but don't kill the uncle yet,wait 4 a fix

do other things

[deep phoenix]

ive realised ive been missing 2 lines in the celbration cutscene, where warlock says about lens pulling through, that might be the reason it doesnt complete! i have done the side missions tho, need to see why its no proccing

i wanna try gather some data:

react to this if you were able to finish the mission and you heard the 2 lines at the end where warlock speaks to the docm saying lens pulls through

react to this if the mission completed successfully, where you didnt hear the lines about lens but you still handed in the tools

react to this if you completed the mission but have no clue what im on about

[floral isle]

is there a way to finished on the edge without bugging the mission?

[alpine depot]

Does anyone know for the side quest "Three Captains" why I can't shoot || Beard and Sultan from the sniper window? || My bullets hit an invisible wall. After reloading a save I was able to kill one, but not the other?

[alpine depot]

just reloaded the save a few times and brought a different gun. worked out fine

[lone heart]

Can anybody that's at least bi-lingual translate the text from the final Journalist's stash in Pripiat? I can provide a screenshot

Or not. No picture privileges here.

[south tinsel]

Can i bypass "On the Edge" mission being imposible to finish by console or some mods? I'm hopeless

[deep phoenix]

let the rookies die, then win the battle, gives another outcome where it should complete

[south tinsel]

I will try it bo my rookies are acting like veterans fr

[deep phoenix]

my rookies did not, theyd shoot me in the back, and then all stand on top of the same grenade

[south tinsel]

Veteran diff?

[rich marsh]

Hey guys, anyone ran into an issue, in sphere, i cannot talk to solder 😒 i help him out but he just grabs a cig and i cant interact 😒

[deep phoenix]

nah i think stalker diff

[south tinsel]

I'm playing veteran

[crystal ginkgo]

not super sure where to ask, but in 'On the Edge' I can't get the quest to progress past the 'fend off the monolith attack' stage. Killed them all, Gaffer calls everyone in, some speech.. then it just ends. Quest never progresses, never completes.

I wager that's a bug but I've got no clues on fixes?

This fits better here.

[ornate wraith]

#❔┃side-quests message read this and following posts

[crystal ginkgo]

Yeah, letting some die and then completing it worked. Not how I wanted to finish it - but it's fine for now.

[hoary torrent]

Theres a side mission at deaf meadow NW of zalissya where you recover a body. Once you give the body to the guy that asks for help you can take a drink, if you do the cup gets stuck floating next to your hand after you exit the dialogue.

is there a better place to put bug reports than here?

[dawn cobalt]

[robust hamlet]

So I can't find drowned or boo will I have to restart the game or will they spawn eventually?

[woeful oasis]

unhealthy competition, which ending is the best loot wise?

[proven vale]

I think that might still be bugged. It’s the same on my end

[proven vale]

Is that the one where you pick between 2 stashes? If yes, both are crap

[rich marsh]

Saved him once, shot him dead this time to get the key 😄

[proven vale]

But he’s supposed to do something otherwise the mission ends like you haven’t helped him

Seriously I can’t believe myself, this is the second time I leave that scumbag alive TWICE. He deserved a bullet more than any other char I came across but I keep knocking him out hoping for some payback later. And then the mission is bugged🙄

[woeful oasis]

yeah I just went with sid's side. and the loner trader dies anyway like tf? I think sid should reward you more than just money if you choose to side with him or have the sweden be another trader. missed oppurtunity

a job for sid is also still active (the one where you kill the raiders)

even tho I completed it it is still showing up in current missions. I assume another darn bug?

[proven vale]

😂 that’s the mission where he said he’ll pay triple if you kill everyone and when you do he happily gives you 2500. Such a Sid

If you’re new to Stalker - it’s working as intended. Sid has always been a “see you aunt tea”

He’s quite easily the biggest troll in the zone

Always has been

[strange void]

Has the mission on the edge been fix?

[hallow pond]

can someone help me I'm in the On the Edge mission and I'm supposed to kill the monoliths but I only hear gunshot noises but no enemies even when I'm very close to the noises and look in ghost mode I don't see any enemies

[hallow pond]

ok nevermind i just walked away and the mission was completed.....

[strange void]

When did you walk away?

[hallow pond]

after the meeting when the mission objective said kill all monoliths

[leaden frigate]

guys help there's a bloodsucker in the caves im supposed to enter to get an artefact but it keeps killing me somehow even when i shoot it with multiple different guns

the first bloodsucker i encountered went down with like 2 PMM shots so I dont know how this one is staying alive to kill me

i keep magdumping it with my MP5 but it wont go down and keeps running away invisible

nvm i finally killed it

headshots are essential

[proven vale]

First quest I took from Barkeep broke him. I completed the quest, now I’m supposed to get back to barkeep but he has no dialogue options other than what’s new in the zone

[dawn cobalt]

One thing I learned very early on in SoC and still applies to HoC was to have the rifle, shotgun loadout majority of the time I make my treks

[dawn cobalt]

Have you tried the other ones to see if you get the same result

[molten grotto]

hey guys, quick question:

I was doing the Lex the Legend missions and decided to collect his scam stash before heading to talk to him (was thinking that maybe if i have his note i can unlock some new dialogue option convincing other of his scheme). However when i got there the usual 4-5 peopl werent there. I went back to the Slag Heap and slept, went back to Lex and still nothing, but the blue sode quest icon was on the map. If you talk to him you just get the "what's up in the zone default dialoge". I killed him by just shooting him, looted the PDA but i guess it's RIP for questline right?

hmm well i was killing him at the flee market anyways

well, i guess not if i kill him at the flee market

okay thank you!

i guess this is actually the absolute best outcome for what i was going for.

this way his "students" were not there so no innoocent loves were lost. It was only him & Varan's 2 diguised thugs when i went there.

i am usually going for the most good guy style playthrough except for the zero bandit tolerance policy

haha true.

I still like to talk to them tho, but with bandits i never negotiate, always listen to the dialogue but choose the threaten option in the end which ends in a firefight. I just like to listen to the story i guess so i dont go in guns blazing

truly a 200 IQ gang boss move

good play tbh

i am planning on wiping out all 3 gangs at Garbage in the current playthrough

do i need shas's mate equipped or just in the inventory as usual?

ah perfect

i am literally just coming up on the brood wipe

gonna do what you just said

but arent you killing the shah?

thats what Varan wants

that's the true stalker way honestly

i will try to flex Shah's Mate onto the bouncer and see what happens

[molten grotto]

gonna dialog some bullets right into the Shah tbh

[hollow kelp]

hey STALKER 2 CONCRETE FOREST LOCKED DOOR and STASH ✅SOLUTIO

hey the game is buggy where do we have a body if there is none?

[woeful oasis]

Thats what i did. But now sid isn't givin me more quests after completing another raider quest. No quest dialogue appears

Whoa, just had the WPS controller not spawn, oh well saves ammo and stress hormones

[mighty parcel]

hello, where to find the mute after main quest when they all gone from noontide base ?
I needed the light at the end of tunnel but now I can't (after sircaa quest)
thx

[keen pumice]

Hi guys, i have a bug with the "Nightingale's Hunt" quest where i cannot complete the quest (i get the bonus reward from killing the bloodsucker, but i cannot sell the remaining collars). For this reason I though i might start with the quest before that "dogfight". However here i also need to collect a collar from a blind dog and according to some walkthroughs (IGN) im supposed to hand over the collar to nightingale. But after i've completed the quest, the collar stays in my inventory. Is that supposed to happen?

[keen pumice]

okay i found a save prior to when i started the mission, i followed nightingale to the farm this time and it worked... hopefully this will fix the hunt quest as well...

[mighty parcel]

I found that you can start quest and finish quests with console backup your saves before !!

[mighty parcel]

found here working fine

[lapis whale]

hey guys

i cant find leech in the mill at cordon

any idea where he might be?

[sinful cipher]

had this problem, sort of solution is to just give up on Hamster and tell Gaffer it cannot be done just to continue the questline, saving zalyssia. as it is now, Gaffer wont trigger the next step so zalissia is lost once you venture too far

[snow meadow]

Interesting. I couldn’t finish the quest, so I left zalissya and the quest completed automatically

Didn’t lose

[untold river]

So uhhh, the special gun the dude in Cordon drops, is it the only one? Realized it too late and now he no longer hangs around the mill so im screwed?

[echo terrace]

Hi! So I am on a side quest where I have to lure ||Zakhar|| out of Slag Heap, but the guy is nowhere to be found.

Anyone knows a workaround?

[proven vale]

He’s got 2😃

[untold river]

Couldnt find him :( so i spawned the gun thru command

[small needle]

ah good to know, im about to start the quest

[small needle]

hes not next to a car parked inside ?

[echo terrace]

Nope

[small needle]

if you are on PC you may be able to start quest thru console maybe ?

[exotic linden]

yea i have the same

[full ether]

I went to go do the Sound of Music side quest in Duga, and Sledgehammer the NPC is no where to be found. Is this a Ward-only quest or something?

Oh, just looked it up and I guess it disappears at some point in the story. Lame.

[sturdy forge]

wow that controller side quest was amazing

the atmosphere n the fight was really cool

[ocean sparrow]

good news for you, you can fix it by using console command to teleport arnie back to his location

i fixed it and complete that questline

[pastel marsh]

[exotic linden]

@ocean sparrow I also couldn't get console commands to work lol, followed exactly the steps when downloading

[ocean sparrow]

put mod files into ~mods folder

[exotic linden]

yea, like i said i followed the instructions exactly to the letter man & cannot get the console to open

[spring kernel]

ummm , soo ... i have a side mission from barkeep in rostok to kill a duty officer but they're green to me .. will me killing that officer block off cement factory for me ?

[untold river]

What if you shoot the emitters in the swamp you need to disable? Seems like the safer option if you ask me, do you miss more than just the recordings?

I just hate psi shenanigans, in a loving way

Done it once on a playthru i softlocked myself on

But without shooting

[tight pond]

i keep getting a side quest saying that the scientists think i'm the bogeyman

is there a way to solve it or do i just let time pass?

[glad ravine]

So I had a thing happen at arena, I messed up the gear drop and the guardian armor despawned? Then I went to ragman and it spawned on the floor right outside his shop, did it hit a weird hotbox and fly there? Obviously I still sold it but im curious what mightve caused it

[hearty pollen]

this thing doesn't work properly at the moment, just ignore it. I assume it happened to you after Ward overtook Malachit

[idle anvil]

got another side quest unable to even start in the red forest, I dont like these quests with vendors because if i talk to them it only has option to trade or ask about the zone, its a roll of dice often. And then the enemy getting in the safe areas blocking off the doors or exits and you cannot kill them because you cant holster your weapon in safe zones

[tight pond]

yes, and it keeps happening since the quest to deal with the collars keep respawning

[hearty pollen]

Is it at all possible to enter Shah/Roosevelt hideout in a friendly way (without killing them all)? I mean there are traders (at least at Shah's place), is it at all possible to trade with him? So far seems like no

[dawn cobalt]

For Roosevelt you need to sneak in from the pipeway and walk in on Roosevelt to start a dialogue. For shah you need to grab his custom gun, shah's mate, to get past the guards by showing his gun. I only know you can get a peaceful outcome for Roosevelt but for shah I haven't tried that way yet

[robust moon]

If someone is having a problem with getting to the stash with flashdrive in quarry, where you fall through the gravitional anomaly bug, here's the way around

[novel haven]

So once you've done the game and are now right before the main quest, what is there to do?

[wind sentinel]

any side missions involve with the brood (bandit gang)? I killed em all bc an emission forced me inside, but i wanna know if I should go back a save to not kill them

[spring cypress]

Explore the Zone

Lots of stuff here and there

[novel haven]

I mean like any big quests or any large groups of monolithians or something

[spring cypress]

Quests, places to check, puzzles, etc

[novel haven]

Locations for some good ones?

[obtuse forum]

for in the name of science if you choose to disable the collars arent you supposed to be invited back to the warehouse? I went back and there was nothing to do

and all the collars from the dogs are the warehouse still go off, so I think something is bugged

oh wait i'm an idiot

[young shore]

The Harpy quest "An Order from Harpy" is bugged for me and i can complete it receive the reward but the questmarker is still there after it.
Any idea how i can fix this so i can continue taking quests from her?

[wind sentinel]

are there any way to reliably complete side quests where they ask for a specific artifact

[brazen spindle]

I really like that little campfire conversation with the three guys who started as rookies in Cordon, one of them joining Freedom and another had joined Duty, and they all gather to reminice.

[autumn latch]

And then the debate started getting heat up, broomsticks showed up and bullets, blood and cheeki breeki flying everywhere

[arctic delta]

get the artifact?

[wind sentinel]

reliably, artifacts are random, you just get a specific pool of artifacts depending on the anomaly

[dawn cobalt]

You answered your own question really. Other than some artifacts that are specifically placed in some regions, only thing you can do is take out your detector whenever near an anomaly Hotspot and hope for the best. Or if you really are dedicated to completing the request you just have to run a whole circuit from one Hotspot to the next or keep on reloading roughly 100m away from a Hotspot until you get what you want.

It would be very interesting to see a modifier between detectors to affect drop rates between common, uncommon, and legendary artifacts

[frail elk]

i have a issue where i cant start nightgales quest

[golden vine]

hey guys, did anyone found out what happens if u stay with the profesor on weather station near wanderling lights?

i found him in distress, his men left him and after a short conversation i went out and he just shot himself ;o

cant find his security either

but i was wondering what would happen if i actually would stay till daylight

nvm found them

[runic hare]

i just did the mission the key to freedom where you save a group of stalkers from some bandits at the fish farm but when i returned later all the stalkers were gone except for the stalker you talk to earlier (zhenya hulk) who was dead with a ton of loot on him (multiple bits of armour and 2 copies of several weapons)

any ideas as to what happened?

Is there any working solution for "On the Edge" mission where Gaffer is stuck at giving me 1000 coupons for dealing with problems?

Or do I just go back in save files and repeat whole quest in some different order/way?

[grim junco]

He probably looted the bodies of his friends after something sad happened, and eventually died afterwards. Mutant or bandit attack, possibly …
A lot can happen in the Zone lol

[runic hare]

Insane a-life lore

[frosty mango]

What you do so far? You fight off both mono attacks? You give the instruments to different the doctor so he could heal lens? You find warlocks gun? You go take care of the guid turned monolithian? You kill the monolithian on the hill? You go convince hamster not to hide in the basement?

[crystal nimbus]

I don't think there was 2nd attack, but the rest I did, and the problem appears when talking to Gaffer after doing all those quests

I've tried to run around to find any enemies that may have lost aggro but it didn't help so far.

Can someone please explain the story of the Journalist Stashes? I've done them all, but don't understand the writing on the wall at the end or what the big reveal was.

[half atlas]

||he's dead||

I forgot what the message meant, but it's something related to him not being able to leave the zone or something

The journalist quest line is basically bounes stuff hunting, implemented in a questlike way in order not to give it right to your inventory.

@magic quest ||do you remember what was written on the wall next to the journalist?||

[magic quest]

It says that none of the groups are doing what they should be doing

you guys have been reading my mind, I was about to ask for a translation of that text too, as auto translaters aren't very satisfying

Interesting enough, depending on who you side up with (Spark, Ward, none), you'll get a different archived conversation in the journalist's PDA.
None are very friendly, they're all threats and death wishes lol

[molten grotto]

hey guys quick question: i am not getting any quests from Owl or Sidor anymore. Is this intended or a bug? Any fixes?

[next rapids]

Same for me with barman. I have a constant 'side quest' telling me to "return to the barkeep"

[plush knoll]

Came here to say the same, bugged quests from barkeep and harpy that stay after being turned in and prevent you from getting new quests. Great...

And I can't progress the main story at all because of another bug, so I don't have anything to do

[tidal jetty]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h7gjxj/psa_fix_radiant_repeatable_side_quest/ ... this is only one way which worked fotr me (and I tried search for a long time) how to "unbug" most barkeep missions which refused to end properly. Solved for me all barkeeps except one (Hera from Cementary) ... that one is really heavily problematic.

[celest delta]

Hello, could someone tell me how to avoid bug that monolith attack does not happen on the first hand but after everything done in "On the Edge" side mission?

[clever glade]

Hello, quick question, is there a solution when we have Colonel Korshunov who does not appear on the wagon at the very beginning of the game or not? I am French so please ping me for your answer 🙏🏼

[turbid narwhal]

hahah
I was just about to post this screenshot

Thank you!

[eternal patrol]

as far as I remember that's how it should be. I mean, you hear a message asking for help, and you go and help them defend the village. then NPCs give you many quests (like find tools for the medic, find the shotgun, convince Hamster, snipe monolithian scouts, and kill uncle Lyonya). after you do all that, there will be the second wave (in few minutes). after you defend it, Batya asks everyone to get in to the main building and gives you some money. but! for me, it didn't complete the quest right away. i had to go outside the village (like outside the circle on the map or something like that), and then I heard a message saying that it's defended and got the quest completed

but even though I've completed the subquest for sniping scouts and received reward for it, after the second wave I noticed it marked as failed.
overall I can say that this quest is still a bit bugged, but at least it's not soft locked, like before. hopefully they will finally fix it in the next patch

[celest delta]

Thanks. I will just wait then 🙂

[magic quest]

[spice mural]

hey all. I seem to have a bug not getting credit for completing several side quests, which of course means I can't get new ones. What is the fix????

[rancid pilot]

Has anyone found a solution to blizzard and the bloodsucker spawning underground? I can’t help him or reach his body. It’s in the wall of a nearby drainage tunnel

[torn frigate]

Anyone help with dogfight please? Nightingale won't give me the quest

[torn frigate]

Anyone know how to get nightingale to give me the dogfight quest? When I talk to him I only have the option to ask what's new in the zone

[runic cedar]

Am I supposed to go in the scientists bunker in Yaniv without any mission?

[cinder prawn]

It's tied to a mission

[runic cedar]

so what if I already looted it?

[cinder prawn]

You mean the roof? Interior is inaccessible pre mission no?

[runic cedar]

oh it's accessible

[cinder prawn]

Oh yeah the ladders

[cinder prawn]

Don't think it'll be too much an issue. Did you pick up a quest locked item?

Idk if it spawns prior to the obj

[wintry rune]

OK, so at the Chemical Plant's south entrance, there's this Lt. Mateus that shows up as a quest-giver, but when I talk to the guy...there's only regular random dialogue. Is it broken?

[runic cedar]

No ladders, there are generators to start in order for the door to open. I didn't find no quest item, hopefully it will spawn later

[proud stirrup]

Give it a few minutes, he did that for me too this time. If that doesn’t work try reloading an older save.

[wintry rune]

Well, I already moved on to further into the Chemical Plant (west, not the plant itself)...so will try that later. If not...bugs it is, 'cause I sure as hell ain't picking up all the loot again that I got from Ahroprom.

[warm prism]

Wait for an emission

Might fix it

Unless ye on px

[wintry rune]

Yea, I'm on PC.

[warm prism]

Do you know how to start an emission

[wintry rune]

I don't think it can be manually started.

[rancid pilot]

I’m having an issue in Black Sheep where Zhenya Blizzard spawns with the bloodsucker in the wall/underground. I can’t help him defeat the bloodsucker or loot his body for the quest item, rendering it blocked. I’ve reloaded, re-downloaded the game. Tried multiple different saves and approaching the quest area from different angles to change the spawn location… I can’t get anything to work.

[frosty mango]

Anyone figure out an “An Order from Harpy” quest. From the tech in Yanvi? I have to kill some robbers, killed one set of them, then went to where it says to go, “spark bunker” which is where I found some gear like exo suit earlier in game, however no one is there and I don’t know if they are inside it, but there is no way to open from what I see. Is it glitched?

[proud stirrup]

Sounds glitched to me. There should be Sparkers in the bunker, and you should be able to enter it. It does unlock after a certain point, so something is definitely wrong. The door should just open when you get close enough.

[frosty mango]

Really wow yeah, unless I did something wrong there is nothing opening lol, I can add that to the list of bugs or grievances number 374 lol

[keen apex]

I didnt get the sidehustle side mission when i first got to icarus, and i just realized that it exists right after finishing sircaa. i just went to icarus and it is filled with zombies. can i still get the missions?

[midnight belfry]

Does anyone know the console ID to start the Nightingale Quest Dogfight, mine is glitched and he just has generic dialogue instead of giving me the quest (Ultimate Edition), he is marked on the map as a side quest as well?

[onyx orchid]

I'm doing a second run of the game and the Arena in Rostok doesn't seem to be refreshing after doing the 4th round, did anyone else run into this problem? I slept twice

[cosmic cargo]

what is "An errand for hera" quest id so i can fix this myself

[pastel tiger]

One of the procedural side quests from the duty bartender. Unfortunately there's a bug with those right now where you finish them but the quest doesn't close properly, preventing you from taking new ones

[cosmic cargo]

Is there a I’d or anything this issue is ridiculously common

[pastel tiger]

Unfortunately I don't know that much

[onyx orchid]

dang I just ran into this problem in yaniv with harpy's mission

[frosty mango]

Yeah sucks doesn’t it. Most of the time I have been able to fix quests by reloading a previous save. This one I believe got whacked early on because I was exploring too fsr, which is competely BS in an open world game. They made this thing into where they want you to find a linear format and if you don’t you Jack up quests to infinity and beyond. Completely unacceptable. I am just hoping I can finish everything else without issues. I now have an inventory bug I believe where everything is out of sync. My armor is covering my ammo and consumables and so are my guns when I put them in the box. Either that or I reached the limit and it is freaking out.

[rancid pilot]

I have another blocked side quest because of a bug. I purchased a Series X for this game and flight simulator 24 and neither game works. They are both in a pretty awful state right now. I’m about to try to refund the whole dang system

Like we need an ETA or something besides “we are working on it” so I can decide what to do with my money.

[onyx orchid]

that's actually interesting you mentioned about exploring too far, since this is my second playthrough I wanted to head to yaniv to get some better gear or w/e I could afford
didn't realize this might cause side missions to get messed up

[topaz marsh]

It seems to be pretty random. I am super early in the story in my second playthrough (like, I literally just met Strider story-wuse) and went to Yaniv already as I'm now taking my sweet time exploring and roaming.
I was able to complete the mutants quest for Harpy without any issue, but it seems like a lot of people do have a bug where the mission never marks as completed.

[onyx orchid]

so I'm at garbage and I'm able to complete the barkeepers side missions no problem it looks like, I haven't tested rostok at the 100 rads bar as that one was a special mission but I am curious now

[topaz marsh]

Did the mission there just yesterday if it's the one sending you far into a Renegade camp with weird anomalies and a little surprise. I was able to complete it without any issue!

[night trout]

does anyone have the bug where in the name of science the device you are supposed to destroy (the one that jams the collar signals) are just not there.
Tried reloading an earlier save, no luck. The quest objective does change to destroy the jammer or to recalibrate, but the device is not on the desk, only the audio log

[onyx orchid]

damn now I'm worried about progressing too far in these missions if these new bugs are occurring, when is the next patch coming? lol

[jaunty dust]

I am trying to do the In the name of science mission and Scherba is just dead near the dogs. I have been scouring the internet for solutions, i have downloaded UEtools so i have the console, what next? i really want to do this quest but i cant find the trigger for it to do it
Mission step is Deliver Electronic collars to Scherba, i got all 4

[lavish axle]

I just got this too. Did the mission, returned, got the reward, but quest marker remains as "return to Harpy", blocking me from new quests from her.

[onyx orchid]

I'd submit a bug report but I dunno if they need to make quest NPCs that aren't hostile invincible or if this is normal that it could happen, you might have to reload to an earlier save before his death if you can somehow avoid that scenario

[jaunty dust]

i just did, thanks

[edgy jackal]

Someone please tell me why the hell

THE SOUND OF MUSIC WON'T TRIGGER RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mental river]

Only way to fix these bug is to cancel current quest via console, wait some time and start again. Check this out https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h7gjxj/psa_fix_radiant_repeatable_side_quest/

[topaz marsh]

Can I just say how good it is that you can take that one side quest for Sido, then side with the people you're supposed to take down, then he's insulting Skif over the radio but when you come back to him he's all like "well ... I can't let grudges get in the way of business........" and you can work with him again

[grim junco]

Sido isn’t a member of the loners, he is the head of the “Money” faction
He didn’t move an eyebrow when I sold him the equipment of the death squad he sent after I sided with the traders I was supposed to eliminate 😆

Yeah i didnt wanted to kill them, then the death squad showd up i said ill help them and while they were not aggro at me i threw 1 nade and killed em. Never trust a Stalker

I had issues with this, tried to play it over and over again to workaround the "bug" like 3 times before i gave up

turns out after the thank you speech you just need to leave, like at least a few hundred meters

then the mission completes and everyone gets to their intended places

[ivory nest]

Can you clarify on that part

For me the mission is completed but no ✅ at the "fight off the monolith attack"

if you did, then you have it bugged more than I had

Atleast not 4 me so far

i have it completed with
✅ my stash
✅ garbage stash
✅ swamp stash
...I didnt get any other stashes marked on the map, i went to Yaniv location and the box just wasn't where it's supposed to be according to internet

same for building south of red forest. I'm gonna try other ones, maybe they need to go in order. or maybe - since the quest is "complete" im just screwed

[cobalt bay]

Dunno what to suggest sorry

[compact pasture]

Which edition of the game did you get?

The Garbage & Swamp stashes are the preorder bonuses, the others are in the deluxe and ultimate editions

[runic cedar]

oooooohh... well that explains a lot

i have the preorder

thanks

[compact pasture]

Glad I could help

I only have the preorder too, I’m waiting until GSC release the upgrade package to get the ultimate content

[proud stirrup]

Im in the same situation…I hope it will be possible

[hot maple]

are there seriosly no side quests in pripyat and jupiter

cmon

[runic cedar]

there's a lot to do there anyway.
although prypiat should be more dangerous. after a couple of big shootouts it becomes a walk in the park.

[hot maple]

there is just couple main missions other than exploring there is legit nothing

[runic cedar]

This is a very disingenuous take.

[hot maple]

well give me the honest one

[runic cedar]

It's an endgame territory that's not supposed to be populated by anyone besides degtyarev's team, monolith and mutants.
even setting aside the fact that the city is modeled like a masterpiece, there's a ton of environmental storytelling and pretty much every building has something to it.

but sure, there's "legit nothing".

my only gripes are: using radiation as passage blocking is a bit lazy and the fact that monolith is not respawning more.
Pripyat should remain a very, very dangerous place and currently it doesn't.

[frosty mango]

The monolith respawns in my game. I have too many bugs to access inventory though lol. If I got to clear their house, they will be back at in a few naps. Aim bot me from afar

[runic cedar]

I don't know what are these inventory issues. Never got any.

[frosty mango]

How much have you shoved in your box? Unless crap started overlapping you probably never came close to getting the issue with inventory

[frosty mango]

Yeap rushes out the door. Explains most of the second half of the game other then UE5 being atrocious monstrosity of crash city.

[hot maple]

talking about missions sure its interesting for exploring but still the lack of side missions in also yanov/jupiter makes me upset it just feels empty

i hope they could add more of these in the future as lesser zone is masterpiece in this instance

[runic cedar]

I mean... a lot but I guess not enough to break the code.

[cyan thunder]

I was worried about this lucky im taking the game real slow, seen there was no side missions in pripyat like cmon 🤣

14 years and y'all couldn't add at least 1 or 2

The fact they left pripiyat with no side missions and that they left it for one of the last main story missions is so stupid for a game like this bad idea the smart thing would of been to introduce the city earlier with heaps of side content

[hot maple]

yeah i hope they might add something in the future there is a lot of infinished stuff

when you free cam

[cyan thunder]

I just hope online is good and they have dlc planned

Loving the game, taking my sweet ass time though

[restive magnet]

what’s the best outcome for “in the name of science” recalibrate or disable jammer and/or kill or spare shcherba

would appreciate the feedback

[frosty mango]

Disable if you just shoot it, you will go through the mission and get rewarded a Gauss rifle. Also by not killing that grad student dude, the professor gives you like 10 k more coupons and you don’t get a bad alignment/rep with the scientist/ecologist faction

[sacred geyser]

Disabling it is a better outcome in general, that way nobody will control the mutants ever but shooting it gives better rewards

[runic cedar]

you have the rest of the zone unlocked early with heaps of side content

[cyan thunder]

Hopefully the Roadmap reveals some dlc

[frosty mango]

Do they have a release date on that

[cyan thunder]

They said they aren't ready to announce it yet @frosty mango

[frosty mango]

Good because their focus should be the vast amount of bugs and crashes with UE5

like how does that make sense?

it was the black sheep side quest

Screw him then, im just gonna give the drive to the ward then if malachite is gonna be pissed either way

I gave th flashdrive to the ward and malchite doesnt hat me this time

This might be a bug

[cosmic temple]

I flashed the badge and they left.

I got it from doing Ward stuff

Actually I think you just have to agree to show them the pda in Garbage.

[hearty pollen]

you sure you didn't kill anyone by mistake from malachite? but yeah probably a bug

[hearty pollen]

yeah, my 1st playthrough I was doing fully spark but showed korshunov the pda coz thought "well I'm just showing, it won't hurt"
had badge for the rest of the game and used it in several places

[gaunt rampart]

I didnt, when I sided with the ward after I reverted to a previous save, my reputation didnt go down with malachite so think they messed up.

[native nest]

In the name of science mission can’t seem to find the collar at malachite

You have to walk to the mercs and buy it from them or kill them.

Okay so he literally did not say anything about it lol 🫡 Gaffer asked me about it and Skif could just say "couldn't find it" and he was like "it's fine, you did what mattered anyway" so... free rifle!

what is supposed to be wrong with them? i've been asking for them in some of the later regions and they're so far working

[onyx orchid]

once you finish the side mission from the random bar keepers, they never complete.
you get your reward but they don't disappear from the journal and you can't get new side missions from them anymore

if it got fixed then it means my game save is borked

[peak niche]

Not sure, I had the same thing happened before update, but it was with Harpy. Then every barkeeper proceeded not to give out any quests. I feel like I did see at least one person say it is still there, but can't remember.

[onyx orchid]

i really don't want to remake another run cause of a bug

[peak niche]

If you're willing to wait, I can test it out in a moment lol. Not too far away from Harpy.

[onyx orchid]

harpy and the barkeeper from duty and I think one other had this issue, I'm starting up stalker 2 but holy F the shaders is taking 8 mins so far

damn 9 mins for shader compilation to finish

[peak niche]

Damn, when that happens for me I just force quit the game, start it up again, get the shader load error and click OK. And it'll load right up. Not sure if that breaks the game or something, so probably don't do it. Haven't had issues myself though.

[onyx orchid]

oh interesting harpy's job is gone from my journal

ah hell does the guide in noontide not take you anywhere?

[peak niche]

He does

[onyx orchid]

wonder if it's quest blocked, I can talk to him but he doesn't give me the option to go anywhere, just random talk

[peak niche]

Is this after you helped a Noontider to get his stuff back so you can enter their base? But there's no quest tied to this guide. I don't remember me not being able to use it.

[onyx orchid]

I have to do the hot on the trail after I got into the noontide base

[peak niche]

Maybe it's that hopefully and not another bug lol. I never used the guide during that so I don't know.

[onyx orchid]

yea this main mission leads you to finding out who the sniper was I believe

but I'm surprised he can't take me anywhere

so running to zalyissa

ok so originally this barkeeper bug I got in rostok, cement factory, and yaniv, checking all 3 now

ok nice harpy got fixed that's one

barkeep in rostok is broken still, I guess I'll submit the new bug reports

ah shit why did I quit the game, now I gotta compile shaders again

[torn sluice]

I meant to say that I wanna play this game too like everyone else

[verbal jasper]

Okay.

[torn sluice]

Yea

My game keeps crashing while doing the sultans first quest where you retrieve the briefcase, After || I kill the ambushers demanding the suitcase || my game freezes and crashes after it updates the quest progress

[long tartan]

Im confused. I defended zalissya from the monolithians but instead of a green checkmark i get a grayed out minus sign

Did i do it right or does the game not register me saving them

[latent salmon]

maybe u didn't finish it and left, there's a good few stages to that quest

like u gotta kill a few or more groups of monolith

[long tartan]

Yes im sure.

The gaffer told me to go to the meeting hall and thanked me for saving zalissya

[latent salmon]

hm, weird

[long tartan]

Lens is still there lol but he doesnt show up as a tech icon

Only gaffer and lens are still there now

It also says i failed to find the surgery kit even tho i literally did and handed it to mykolayich

[proud stirrup]

It's the other way around for my yaniv guide. He is gone, but the icon is still there.

[verbal jasper]

Did you make a manual save, before all the action started?

[long tartan]

Yeah

I have now done a couple of side-missions for Hera where they get bugged. Hera gives me my reward but the side-mission icon does not disappear > meaning he will not give me more missions since the game is treating it as incomplete. Anyone else see this?

[pastel tiger]

Huh. Yeah it's a known issue. Didn't realize it was still present

[verbal jasper]

I redid the middle mission a second time and it still had the failure for the game to realize I talked to Hera and he rewarded me. Redid a third time and took the top side-mission with success.

[verbal jasper]

I find it hard to believe, after 3 and a half months of massive bug fixes several times, something as common and simple as a side-mission is still bugged.

[verbal jasper]

Got another job ffrom Hera to attack some Bandits west at the gas station. It also failed to complete once Hera gave me my reward. Fuck Hera. He's so unreliable.

[misty tendon]

2.6k for an artifact? I can get twice the coupons for selling it to any vendor

[cedar raft]

She does not give anymore missions afterwards even if you complete it with ue_tools

[keen compass]

I mean it is a dooty, what u expect

[verbal jasper]

Who is she?

[onyx orchid]

i've had this problem before 1.3 patch, looks like it still isn't fixed, but barkeep in rostok is fixed

[verbal jasper]

I had it before and after the patch. Two side-missions in particular.

[onyx orchid]

Harpy and barkeep got their side missions fixed, just Hera left I think, I don't understand what makes all these bar keepers unique that they have to be individually fixed

Hey uh, anyone else having the issue where you don't have the journalist's USB drive in the stash and can't start the quest? Just reinstalled the game, and for some odd reason I don't have the usb or the quest?
