The Mysterious Case Mission in STALKER 2
Hey, ever heard about The Mysterious Case quest in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl? It’s a cool side mission that takes you to the Zaton region, where you’ll help Sultan, the boss of Skadovsk Camp, retrieve a mysterious briefcase. Let me break it down for you real quick:
How to Find Skadovsk Camp for Mysterious Case Mission
Skadovsk Camp is an abandoned ship sitting right in the middle of the Zaton region. If you’ve already done the main mission called "Dead Frequency," you’ll know where it is. If not, no worries! Just start from Azimuth Station, go east to an intersection, then south, and finally east again. Boom, you’re there.
Meeting Sultan and Starting the Quest
Before talking to Sultan, swing by the entrance and chat with Sonya Kalyna. She’s a merchant and will point you to Sultan, who’s chilling on a sofa. He’s got a task for you: find a briefcase hidden in one of his old stashes. Heads up, though, it’s crawling with mutants and surrounded by anomalies.
Getting to the Cargo Ship
The stash is on an abandoned cargo ship northeast of Skadovsk. It’s about 1km away, so pack some water and energy drinks to keep your stamina up. Follow the road southeast, then east at a bus stop, and finally head north to the ship. If you want to save time, cut through the northeastern fields, but watch out for mutants.
Grabbing the Briefcase
Once you’re at the ship:
- Enter from the west side and head to the dock in the east.
- Avoid anomalies by sticking to the open red container path.
- Climb crates and stay to the left near the crane.
- Enter the ship through an open container.
Inside, climb up, take a ladder, and head into a room with the briefcase. You’ll also find a Hilka Detector and some other cool loot there.
Dealing with the Ambush
Here’s the twist: when you try to leave the ship, Sultan’s guys ambush you. Save your game before pressing the red button to open the door. They’ll demand the briefcase, and no matter what you say, they’ll attack.
Combat Tips:
- Stay inside the ship for cover.
- Watch out for grenades and the SPAS-12 shotgun dude.
After the fight, check the western side of the ship for some hidden armor in a stash. Break the planks to get it.
Wrapping Up
Jump off the ship’s middle section to avoid anomalies, then head back to Skadovsk. Give the briefcase to Sultan, and he’ll reward you after a little chat about uncovering a traitor.
That’s it! Now you’re all set to tackle the Zone like a pro. Got questions? Just ask or you can go to the STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Game Guide page and see the rest of the game guides.
