TheDangerous Visitors side mission inStalker 2can be a little difficult to complete, but the rewards for doing so are worth it, at least I think so. Not only will you get some decent items, but the end of this side mission can lead you into the Magnetic Cave tofind a new Artifact, theSpinner.
Keep reading to learn how to start (and complete)the Dangerous Visitors quest.
Starting the Dangerous Visitors Mission in Stalker 2
After you learn how to use the Bolt inStalker 2to find Anomalies, you will be tasked with findingZalissya(A Tough Awakening main mission). Southwest of the mission point on the map, you’ll see a special location marked as aPost Office.
There are a couple of scavengers around the building, and they must be killed. Once the coast is clear, go inside the house (in the image above) to find a man namedZhorik.
Ablue flag icon on your compassshould point you toward the side mission activity.
Speak to him and take on his request to find his comrade, Gloomy, who has been taken hostage by some bandits nearby at theBoiler House. However, you’re able to find Zhorik’s Stash before approaching the compound to get some useful goodies.
Stalker 2: Where is Zhorik’s Stash?
TheStalker 2stashisn’t that hard to find. If you’re leaving Zhorik and heading towards the blue side quest objective, look for acrashed helicopter in a swamptothe left of the main path. The stash is inside for the taking. Radiation is high in this area, so get in and out fast.
After getting the loot, head east-ish to find theBoiler House.
Locating Gloomy in Stalker 2
There’s no easy way around it, but you’ll need to take out the lackeys in the compound before you can properly speak toGloomy(he’s on the second floor inside the building).
Once you start talking to him, choose the “[Reward] I have a detector” dialog option. This will lead to Gloomy showing you the location of a stash of his own, which happens to be inside the cave right behind the compound (to the east).
Stalker 2: Artifact in Magnetic Cave
There will be a wooden sign with white text outside the front entrance of theMagnetic Cave. Walk inside to find a blue chest –this isGloomy’s Stash. It has the following items inside:
While it may seem like there’s not much else to explore in the cave, that is far from the truth.
Go ahead andshoot that red explosive canister near the wooden boxes, and a new path will be made available for trekking. You’ll reach a room with fire coming out of the ground – this is the time to pull out the Detector. As you approach the room with the flames, the device will begin to beep faster and faster as you get closer to the invisibleSpinner Artifact.
We managed to find it to the left of the entrance from which you walked. Just move around until you see the button prompt to pick it up.
Weak: Bleeding Resistance
Weak: Radiation
The color of the sparks from the artifact transitions to a pale green when taken outside the zone.
