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 encounters with NPCs and environmental challenges.
Initiating "For Science!"
The "For Science!" side quest begins at the Central Elevator in the Chemical Plant. Yaryk Mongoose will contact Skif via radio, prompting a meeting. Locate Mongoose on the first floor (easily accessible by vaulting a railing). He'll explain the need to activate a second measuring device atop a nearby silo, initiating the quest.
Reaching the Silo's Summit
Ascend the building's stairs, eliminating any rodent encounters along the way. Exit through a broken window, descend a ladder, and traverse the walkway to the silos. Be prepared for electro anomalies; equip appropriate gear. Activate the measuring device at the silo's peak. This will attract a pack of Bloodsuckers.
Confronting Mongoose
Return to Mongoose. He'll explain the unforeseen consequences of the experiment. Players can choose to kill Mongoose or accept his reward. Neither choice significantly impacts the game's progression. Choosing the non-hostile option rewards the Malachite Pass and coupons. This pass grants access to the STC Malachite facility, unless already obtained through main missions.
This comprehensive guide ensures a smooth completion of the "For Science!" side quest, maximizing rewards and navigating potential conflicts. Remember to equip appropriate gear for the environmental hazards encountered throughout the mission.
