The Hornets' Nest: Stalker 2 Quest Walkthrough

Throughout the Zone in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, there are surges of psi-energy. Lodochka is concerned about what is happening at the Sphere. Skif has visited this place before, but now it's time to return and figure out what's going on.

You have a long journey to the Sphere ahead of you. At the very beginning of the game, Skif found Pripoy there. In our case, he also killed him. When you reach the Zalesye area, you will hear a distress signal from Batya. There is no one in the camp itself, so approach the building where the "Varta" used to be, go around it, and climb the tower. There, pull the lever to repair the equipment. That's all you can do for now.

In the Sphere area itself, there are many Monoliths. Keep to the left of the entrance to the base. You won't be able to go far through the main doors. You need to find another entrance that immediately leads to a staircase. You will pass through one room after another until you notice an entrance to an office on the right. This is Sukhin's workspace. There is also a hidden room where you will find documents about Sukhin's illness in a safe.

Eventually, you will reach the Sphere itself. The staircase goes in a circle to the very top. There are many well-armed enemies here. Upon reaching the top, take another emitter. If Pripoy is alive, you will meet him here again, and he will help you.

Near the emitter, there is a door to the roof. From there, you can quickly descend to the street and leave the Sphere. This concludes the quest.
