S.T.A.L.K.E.R. | Hidden quest

thats what makes this game so special to me.

First time I ever played CoP I actually got the mercenary side of the story.

Also about the saving Mitai - I did diplomat achievement, and as soon as achievement popped up - I killed all of the bandints :-)

Thank you a lot for this. I only heard about this but never actually did that

This is truly a stalker video like none other. Instant sub buddy!!

Hey man, just found your channel from this video. Checking out some of your other work now, keep up the good work!

I'm American, but my grandparents were from Ukraine. Stay strong!

Hello

Today I learned something about a game I thought I knew inside and out. Fantastic!

Holy crap this is so cool

Thats really cool to know after those yesars :D

There is a hidden snag quest involving the dangerous cave, you gotta go talk or pass by him and he’ll ask you to find an artifact in the dangerous cave. Talking to snag, after the cave, you can head back there and bring back evidence what was inside the cave to beard.

Adore these well produced mini videos, far more addictive than long form

That's so cool. I really hope S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has options like this. It made Call of Pripyat really special.

I am basically so indoctrinated to think that quests can only be finished the way the quest marker intends to, that I do not expect any sidestepping is even possible.

it's not really hidden, you just have to side with Sultan the first time you come to skadovsk and get the mission in shevchenko so I guess any player could have easily found it simply by replaying the game and mindfully choosing different approaches or by reading a wiki, cool to see people still getting amazed by the series tho

I made this, if you get one specific document the mercenary group attack you, and the group of scientist need contract another group to protect they

Great video, really enjoyed it

vary cool

Wait, this exist? Damn, I started new run (I didnt completed the game) a while ago because I sucked at recruiting Strider and his fellow chads into one of the cringe factions (I want Strider in my group so bad because Monolith)

I hope I heard the video right and didnt understood anything wrong (Dont wanna this affecting to Strider in any way)

I don't know what it is but the mercenary faction is just my favorite faction and almost always choose it in Anomaly.

since 13 years I didn't know about the merc's questline, very good video

Damn. I replayed CoP so many times and really thought I've seen most of it, but missed the mercenary plot completely. I both had a bandit and non-bandit run, but the mercenary questline... awesome!

I wish I could play/finish these games without my game crashing everytime I even try to do something in the main menu.

I found that taking Goldfish and storming base alone was the best option - it let you get tier3 artifact before reaching final map

Oh my god, DUDE!
I had no idea that you could do any of this! that you could help the bandits to get into their good favours as a means to get in touch with duty, and what not.
Like not even Fallout: new Vegas has something like this!
So many RPGs would make it obvious that it was even a choice you could make by including it in dialogue or internal monologues or quest markers with “(optional)” in the title.
But here it lets you explore it without making it obvious, and it’s more natural and far more immersive that way!

Imagine what the quests would be like in Stalker 2 with this design philosophy behind them!

I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for sharing.
