Stalker bubble. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Walkthrough of the game (3). The influence of the Heart of Oasis on the ending of “Stalker: Call of Pripyat”

Since the zone is located in the disaster area of ​​the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, you cannot do without radiation protection. On your first foray from Clear Sky Base, using the detector, climb into the first anomaly you come across and pick up the Medusa artifact, it will save you from radiation exposure in the first steps.

I like artifacts that increase protection from psi radiation; telepathy is the most vile way to fight against you, although I have not encountered more than two places of powerful psi radiation, except for the dungeon of the Agroprom Research Institute and the Yantar plant. There really are psychic dogs, and at the freedom base they even talked about how they steal sausage from stalkers. I didn’t feel the psi radiation of these dogs myself, maybe because I didn’t let them get close, maybe I saved Seva.

Artifacts

Bubble | Radiation protection -6
Greenish swamp origin the artifact consists of several connected hollow formations of an organic nature. Releases a gaseous substance that can neutralize radioactive particles in the human body.
Where to get it: At military warehouses, in the swamp closest to the base. At the Yantar plant, in the swamp which is west of Professor Sakharov’s mobile laboratory, in version 7 there is a Kolobok artifact. Down the river from the bridge leading to Limansk, right next to the water on the side of the red forest, there is swag.

Flame| Bleeding +60 Radioactive.

Inversion | Radiation protection -4
An artifact of a bizarre shape that appears in places of increased gravitational activity. It is a kind of sponge that absorbs radioactive elements. It equally successfully protects its wearer from the effects of both induced radiation and radioactive particles that have already entered the human body.
Where to get it: Agroprom, funnel anomaly, on the hill north of the post near the railway tunnel.

gold fish | Carryable weight +30 kg Radioactive.

Moonlight| Telepath +3 Radioactive.
A unique artifact of electrostatic nature. Demonstrates the ability to resonate when exposed to psi waves. Over time, stalkers learned to adjust the artifact so that it would resonate in antiphase, thereby completely or significantly neutralizing psi radiation. Where to get it: To the northwest of the Depot on the outskirts of the landfill, two pieces of moonlight are rolling at once. There is an electra anomaly in the dark valley at the freedom base, climb out the window near Chekhov. Attention radiation!

Mom's beads| Bleeding +20 Radioactive.
Not the best in its series, but it looks symbolic, and is somewhat similar to a chain. Much about this artifact remains a complete mystery to scientists. However, it has been precisely established that the radiation generated by the pulsation of the thickenings of “Mom’s beads” accelerates the course of metabolic processes in the human body. One of the most noticeable effects of this is accelerated wound healing.
Where to get it: In the “Rift” anomaly in the SE of the dark valley (you will also be sent there for an 8x optical sight as part of an additional task). In the equipment cemetery, which is in the landfill, in the anomaly closest to the guard's cabin. Near the Yantar plant to the west of it.

The “Seeker” achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat unlocks after finding 23 artifacts. Artifacts are mysterious formations with unique properties that appear in places of anomalies after emissions. Emissions in the Zone occur once or twice a day. The location of old artifacts in the anomalies changes. All artifacts in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat are generated by thermal, chemical, electrical, radiation, organic and gravitational anomalies. Each anomaly generates a family of two or three artifacts of a similar type, which differ in appearance and the strength of their impact on the host’s body.

The impact can be both positive and negative. Most often it is negative, since radiation negatively affects the protagonist’s body. Therefore, it is necessary to select artifacts in such a way that the resulting negative effect is smoothed out and does not cause damage to health. For example, the negative effect of two Goldfish (radiation +6) is offset by the positive properties of two Bubbles (radiation -8) and there is still room for an Eye (radiation +2). The number of simultaneously used artifacts in a suit is limited by special cells. You can add additional slots for artifacts at Skadovsk from a technician or at Yanov using modifications that require tools for fine work and calibration.

The probability of finding rare artifacts in the Zone increases after ; in anomalies, Goldfish, Flame, Firefly, Snowflake and Bubble begin to appear more often. Detectors help find artifacts, and exoskeletons and overalls help protect against the negative influence of the environment while scanning anomalies. The best detectors “Veles” and “Svarog” can be obtained during the passage of the main plot. The exoskeleton can be ordered at any time from Shustroy for 60,000 rubles or bought from Sych for 45,000 rubles at “Skadovsk” in Zaton after receiving the “” achievement; you can also find the exoskeleton for sale from the Hawaiian in Yanov after receiving the “” or “” achievements.

Artifacts are the main source of income for stalkers. Beard from Skadovsk is the only artifact dealer in Zaton, the vicinity of Jupiter and Pripyat. He also issues orders for their search and delivery. The reward depends on the rarity of the artifact; it can reach 24,000 rubles per piece. If you take the order, but do not complete it, free stalkers Kuvalda and Greben will appear on Zaton, who will complete the task for Beard for Degtyarev. No one forbids taking advantage of the opportunity and ransoming or taking away the found artifacts from the mercenaries, and then giving them to Beard for a reward.

Artifacts in "Stalker: Call of Pripyat":

Compass, Heart of the Oasis, Changed helm, Changed insulator, Anomalous plant - are not included in the list of required artifacts. If you give the Heart of the Oasis to the scientists from the bunker in the Vicinity of Jupiter, the rare artifact will affect the ending of the game.

The influence of the Heart of Oasis on the ending of “Stalker: Call of Pripyat”

Stories about the Oasis ceased to be legends: more and more often in conversations of stalkers those who were able to find the way to this secret anomaly were mentioned. The flow of searchers does not dry out, which the bandits continue to take advantage of. Newcomers fall for the offer to show the way to the Oasis, but the matter usually ends in robbery somewhere away from the stalker paths.

Artifacts

Artifact Hunt

Artifacts are the most valuable items in the game's economy. It is for the sake of obtaining artifacts that hundreds of stalkers wander through the zone of radioactive contamination and climb into the most dangerous anomalies.

Single instances of artifacts can be found in secret caches, but most artifacts are found in anomalies. Moreover, if you extracted all the artifacts from one specific anomaly, then soon new artifacts will appear in this anomaly. Thus, anomalies are a renewable source of artifacts.

Artifacts are invisible to the human eye at a great distance; they appear only at a distance of one or two steps. Therefore, to search for artifacts it is necessary to use special detectors. You can remove or hide the detector by pressing the “O” key.

Found artifacts can be sold to other stalkers or to the buyer Borod (a merchant at the Skladovsk base). If you complete all of Beard's tasks, his reward for the artifacts will be much higher than the market value of the artifacts.

Artifacts can be used to strengthen your hero. Some types of armor have slots into which artifacts can be inserted. You can also improve the armor of technicians to make more connectors in them.

Inserted artifacts provide a wide variety of bonuses, but most of them are radioactive. In order to use artifacts normally, and not constantly use vodka or antidotes to remove radiation, you must first insert special anti-radiation artifacts, and then, on top of them, insert all other artifacts.

What are artifacts for and where to look for them?

Artifacts in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat are mysterious formations with unique properties that appear in places of anomalies after emissions. Anomalies found in abundance in the Zone pose a direct danger to life. Despite this, they have become the main source of enrichment for stalkers, as they generate various artifacts. Artifacts have a mixed effect on the human body - some of the effects they cause are beneficial, but the flip side of this in most cases is the danger of radiation exposure. You can select artifacts in such a way that the resulting negative effect is neutralized. The game features a whole scattering of artifacts in the amount of 25 pieces, all of them are unique. Most of them are mined in anomalies. Detectors are used to search for them.

A type of "Rift" anomaly formed in a wetland. In cracks up to several meters deep and in deeper layers of moist soil, accumulated water is heated to high temperatures, periodically escaping under high pressure into streams of steam, which is why it got its name.
On cool days, the anomaly remains warm, which attracts not only mutants, but also stalkers.
Brave and seasoned stalkers manage to take healing hot “baths”.

A fairly new variety of symbiotic anomaly, formed as a result of the “fusion” of certain types of trees, usually oak and pine. It is clearly distinguishable from a distance by the unusual shape of the “dome” of tree trunks, which in themselves are harmless, in contrast to the accumulated dangerous chemicals underneath, which are often concentrated into the “Soda” anomaly.
Once under the dome of the anomaly, any organic matter “burns”, as if doused with organic acid. There is a suspicion that the anomaly, like a predator, dissolves organic matter and feeds itself.

Psi radiation

Little studied, unique in form and impact, anomalous activity, the main damaging factor of which is strong psi-radiation.
In appearance it resembles a clear straight fault, up to 10 meters deep and more than 100 meters long. According to photographs from military satellites, the anomaly resembles a cut wound left by a gigantic knife. Hence the name.
For some, this “scar” resembles a trench from a fallen meteorite fireball, but the absence of an explosive crater, inherent in all landing sites of space rocks, casts doubt on this theory of origin.

Not far from the Jupiter plant, the road collapsed. This place was nicknamed “Bitumen” because the road surface melted there. The breach is full of anomalies - frying mixed with gravitational ones... And since there are two types of anomalies, then the artifacts must be different.

This anomaly is full of gravitational artifacts. It’s hard not to notice this place, the anomalies there have severely distorted the earth, part of the hill was simply demolished. And in the caves that opened in the hill, snorks immediately settled, but they rarely go outside.
The claw is a cluster of gravitational anomalies, under the influence of which the earth bent into a bizarre formation, somewhat reminiscent of a claw. Under the “dome” of the anomaly there are quite a lot of Springboards and Funnels, there is a Carousel, as well as a fairly high level of radiation.

“Circus” is an interesting anomaly located on Zaton. As a result of unknown processes, a certain depression was formed in the ground, in the center of which were “Zharki”. At an altitude of about 10 meters there is “Carousel”. Apparently it got its name because of its resemblance to a circus arena. Two moving fiery anomalies are circling inside, which can cause significant damage.
It is worth noting that some believe that moving fiery anomalies are somewhat similar to poltergeists. At least, when moving towards the anomaly, the stalker has a feeling of being “seen”, for example, as when approaching the “Iron Forest” anomaly (or rather, the poltergeist in this anomaly). This is explained by the fact that the poltergeist is in the center of the anomaly. However, no throwing of heavy objects occurs, because the poltergeist is fiery (it tries to fry you, forming something like mini-fries under you).

In the southwest of Zaton, there is an old electrical substation. At this location, electricity “came out” from the wires and transformers, forming a large “Electra” anomaly field. The dangerous substation apparently got its name because of the numerous metal power transmission line supports in the area. In some places of this arch-anomaly, an increased background radiation is observed, and telekinetic poltergeists have also been seen repeatedly in this area. “Iron Forest” is one of the places where one of the military helicopters crashed during the military operation “Fairway”. The Testing Workshop is located under the anomaly. It is known that there the technician Kardan was developing a certain “product number 62”, better known as the “Gauss gun”.

The bay behind the cement plant, this place is also called “Plavni”. At that point, the bay turned into a terrible, smelly swamp, with a lot of “soda” in the water. Although, whatever water there is, it’s almost completely acid. Artifacts have been found there, but they say that monsters really like this place.

It is a cluster of soda anomalies located in a “concrete bath” - apparently, it served as the basis for the foundation of some kind of extension to the Jupiter plant, which was never built. On a hill in the center of the anomaly, artifacts of a chemical nature periodically appear, which can be picked up even without climbing into the poisonous waters of a concrete bath: just look around and understand how to jump from the upper tier to a huge, semicircular ledge to the south of the arch-anomaly and then jump even lower to the platform leading to the artifact .

Outwardly, the anomaly is a little similar to “Circus”, but there is a significant difference. Firstly, instead of a pit there is a small “dent” in the ground, emitting “Comets”, and secondly, instead of poltergeists, jerboas and pseudo-dogs graze near the anomaly, hoping to get fried meat.

“Vine” is a bizarre anomaly, reminiscent of a grapevine hanging between the houses in Pripyat. The anomaly is dangerous with “Soda” on the ground and in the hole (where, presumably, the roots of the vine themselves are located), and along the branches - with an “Acid (Chemical) Comet” flying from above. However, you can occasionally find some artifacts in the pit; You can also climb the branch itself and, showing miracles of balancing act, reach the balcony on the top floor, then you can grab, for example, the “Kolobok” artifact. A significant relief for a stalker who decides to conquer the “Vine” is that the “Acid Comet” is in constant motion and moves along the branches of the vine. As a result, you can track the frequency with which the comet passes this or that part of the path and “safely” walk to the balcony. At night, “Vine” makes an indelible impression on everyone watching. A large plant, most similar to an overgrown vine or vine. Under the plant on the ground there are soda pops in abundance. On the trunk itself a chemical Comet flies from wall to wall. This biological archanomaly generates artifacts both on the ground - among chemical anomalies, and in high-rise apartments

Space bubble

Very tall

Compass
Damage factor:
Absent

A clearly visible spherical translucent formation. Without going into the details of Einstein's theory of relativity, this anomaly can be called a “hole in space”; stalkers call it a space bubble, probably because of its appearance and action.
Any object or part of it, falling into the scope of the anomaly (entry point), instantly “falls out” from the reverse side (exit point), but no one knows where this reverse side will be. Perhaps you will jump feet first straight into the Meat Grinder. The exact mechanism of action of this Zone phenomenon has not been studied, which is due to the rare occurrence of this anomaly and its certain unpredictability in relation to experimenters. There are known cases of such anomalies sticking together into one; in the place where they appear en masse, once in such a twist of space, people can wander for a long time in the space limited by these anomalies, teleporting to its center over and over again. Sometimes in such anomalous spaces you can find a unique Compass artifact generated by them. Its name speaks for itself - it is able to find a loophole and show “paths” in space. With its help, you can find the entry or exit point of a spatial anomaly.

Gravity

This arch-anomaly is barely visible to the eye. Represents a sphere. It differs from other anomalous formations of gravitational nature primarily in its large size and power, and also in the fact that in the “Meat Grinder” there are multidirectional physical forces that can both tear and flatten any object that falls within the anomaly’s area of ​​influence.

Goldfish
Damage factor:

An anomaly of presumably gravitational nature. At the moment of activation, with terrible force it draws into itself everything that is within a radius of 10-15 meters. If you get into the center of the “funnel,” there is no chance of survival: the body of both the animal and the person will be compressed into a dense lump, and then torn apart at the moment of the so-called discharge.
During the entire period of existence - on average about a week - the anomaly does not change the place of its manifestation; can be visually detected during the day by the characteristic movement of air above it, swirling foliage, fragments of dismembered corpses and a characteristic dark spot on the ground in the center. It is extremely dangerous at night because it can only be detected by detectors or by throwing metal objects.

In an inactive state, it looks like a barely visible cloud of hot air, but when any object or living creature enters the action zone, it forms a compact zone heated to a temperature of about 1500K. At night it can only be detected by powerful detectors or by throwing metal objects.

One of the three flying anomalies of the Zone. It is a fireball of small diameter, followed by a tail of the same fire. The Comet moves exclusively along closed trajectories at a constant speed.
The heat from the anomaly is felt several meters away, and contact directly with the ball itself often ends in death. However, knowing the Comet's path makes it not so dangerous.
The Loza archanomaly also contains an acidic version of this anomaly. The only differences are the type of lesion and color.

"Tesla" is a moving anomaly of electrical nature. In fact, this is an electra that can fly quickly along a given trajectory. It is found mainly in confined spaces with high anomalous activity. It does not produce artifacts, by its nature it is a provocateur of electromagnetic pulses, due to which devices begin to malfunction or turn off altogether, but there is also a theory that anomalies evolve, and this is the evolution of “Electra”. It is quite possible that these anomalies are responsible for the frequent crashes of military helicopters in the Exclusion Zone.
