Embark on a thrilling side quest in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl – "For Science!" This guide details how to initiate and complete this mission, navigating its challenges and choices.
Initiating "For Science!"
Locate Yaryk Mongoose within the Central Elevator area of the Chemical Plant. Upon approaching, you'll hear a radio conversation prompting you to meet him. Head left past the conveyor belts, ascend the rusty stairs, and vault the railing to reach Mongoose on the first floor. He'll explain the need to activate a second measuring device atop a nearby silo, initiating the quest.
Reaching the Silo's Peak
Ascend the building's stairs. Eliminate any rodents encountered. Exit through a broken window, descend the external ladder, and traverse the walkways to the silos. Equip your bolt-action weapon to counter electro anomalies. Proceed left along the silo's top to activate the measuring device. This will attract Bloodsuckers. Choose to fight or evade them.
Confronting Mongoose
Return to Mongoose. He'll explain the experiment's unforeseen consequences. You can choose to kill him or accept the reward peacefully. Either choice has no significant impact on the game's progression. Receiving the Malachite pass allows access to the STC Malachite facility, unless already obtained through the main storyline. The peaceful resolution provides both the pass and additional in-game currency.
This detailed walkthrough ensures a smooth completion of the "For Science!" side quest in Stalker 2. Remember to choose the path that best suits your play style!
