If you are interested in the passage of "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl", the X-18 laboratory will become an important site, the action strategy on which it is desirable to know in advance. Otherwise, you can spend a lot of time in vain before you can cope with the task.
Who gives the quest
The task can be obtained from the Bartender, who equipped his institution, the bar "100 x-rays" (the only one in the Zone!), Under the wing of the Debt. But first you have to complete the task of kidnapping a case with secret documents from the military, who settled in the former Research Institute "Agroprom".
The task is foreseen to be very dangerous, therefore, the reward will be appropriate - the Bartender promises for the documents as much as 10 thousand rubles. In addition, this will allow you to learn more about the "Brain Burner", and this is in the interests of the Tagged. Therefore, you still have to carry out the task, although you do not want to climb underground. So, we begin the passage of "Stalker: the shadow of Chernobyl." Laboratory X-18 is waiting.
What dangers will meet the Labeled in the laboratory
Of course, what is the dungeon in the Zone without anomalies? Fortunately, only frying occurs here - they are clearly visible even in the dark, so you can get around without much harm to yourself. In addition, you can always use bolts to choose a safe route.
But with mutants it will be more difficult. To begin with, the fire poltergeist is found here - one of several for the whole game (another flock awaits the Marked one in the control room). In addition, in a narrow corridor with frying stalkers waiting for a few snorts. The lighting is poor here, and the anomalies greatly degrade the view. Therefore, they can cause serious damage. So be careful when passing.
There is also a pseudo-giant - a very dangerous creature, especially in a small room. It will be useful to stock up on grenades and simply throw them at the mutant. Also, do not forget to use fuel barrels - shoot them when the pseudo-giant is nearby. With this tactic, the passage of "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" (laboratory X-18) becomes easier.
Finally, several ordinary poltergeists live in the dungeon - sometimes they are not even visible, they simply "indulge", lifting objects into the air and throwing them at the Marked One.
But the main danger is people. A squad of experienced and well-armed military men can very well kill a hero, so you need to act very carefully.
Main walkthrough
Immediately after going into the dungeon (under the Dark Valley), the gamer will see flying objects - poltergeists are naughty. After walking around the room, stumble upon a narrow corridor with frying. Interrupt your skills and carefully move forward. Here you can find the corpse of a scientist, searching through which, you will receive a password to the X-18 laboratory - 1243. But an attempt to enter it before the body is detected is useless, it will not be active. Open the door, get down.
There are poltergeists here - they themselves are harmless, but can cause damage by throwing objects. It is worth interrupting them - shoot the clots of energy flying through the rooms. Going further and going down the stairs, the gamer will encounter a pseudo-giant - use grenades without keeping him close to you.
In this hall is the body of another scientist - from it you can collect not only a good IL86 rifle, but also the code for the second door - 9524. We climb the stairs and go to the armored door. We open it and find ourselves in a room with inductive coils. Here the stalker is attacked by a fire poltergeist - we shoot him without fail. After all, the door is locked and until the mutant is killed, it will not open.
After the death of the fire poltergeist, the Marked one will suddenly fall asleep and again will see a strange dream.
Going upstairs and rummaging among computers, he will find a folder with the required documents. Now you can and clean air. But "STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl" is famous for unexpected turns. The hero is waiting for a detachment of army special forces - four cool fighters. And near the exit to the surface there will be a solemn procession. It is advisable to have something long-range with good optics.
Like every location, this one contains a lot of caches with useful things. But the most important cache in the X-18 laboratory is the one that is located at the very beginning, that is, in front of the fiery corridor with the skills. Search the cabinets in the room to the right of the corridor - here you can find the Monolith suit with good protection.
The exit is blocked - we are looking for a different way
Immediately after Marked leaves the laboratory, he will receive a message from Sidorovich. It turns out that the Dark Valley is lined with military. Return through the landfill will not work - cordon is set. We have to go on a new route that leads immediately to the cordon. Follow the pointer and go there.
The passage of "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" (laboratory X-18) provides for the possibility of a breakthrough through the cordon, although this will not be easy. If you leave the military alone, they will soon be killed by the lords.
Interesting Facts
The door in the room with a fire poltergeist can be propped up with a box - then it will not close, and the gamer will have the opportunity to maneuver in battle.
Documents found in the laboratory are the fourth folder - as the name says. Where are the others? They do not exist. The developers wanted to make the quest longer; to pass it, it was necessary to find several folders. But before the release of the game, the task was simplified - only one folder remained.
While Marked will be in the underground laboratory, the label on his PDA for some reason will indicate that he is in the Radar location.
Conclusion
Now you know the basic subtleties and complexity of passing the location of the "Laboratory X-18." Let's hope that thanks to this, the excellent game “STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl” will give you even more pleasure.
