PostSubject: A walk through StalkerSoup...   A walk through StalkerSoup... Icon_minitimeThu 16 May 2019 - 22:42

This is a two-part walkthrough of the game of StalkerSoup.

Parts I and II have been updated to game version 1.1.0019.5. Part I now covers the full Level (or Levelup) 0, from Death Truck to the end of Dead City. Part II continues from the start of Level 1 (Collector) and through Level 2 (Desolation) to the current end of the game.

NOTE: Previous versions of these PDF files were compressed to reduce the file sizes. Following feedback about the legibility of some photos, I am now including links to both the original (uncompressed) version and the compressed version.

-------------------------------------------

PART ONE
A Walk Through StalkerSoup - Part One - Death Truck to Dead City

- Document version 3.0j, June 2023.

Now covers all of Level 0. Many pictures enlarged/enhanced for clarity. Added appendix for Artefact Recipes. Known bugs and workarounds. (As a result of these changes the document is considerably larger than before!)

- New in 3.0j: minor corrections & additions.

Please note, some minor dialogue changes in 0019.5 have not been included in my update, mainly due to the amount of work that would be involved when further changes are likely. I hope to fully revise all dialogue when the game is more complete.

-------------------------------------------

PART TWO
A Walk Through StalkerSoup - Part Two - 'Collector' to Reclamation

- Document version 3.0f, May 2023.

Now covers Level 1 (Collector) and Level 2 (Desolation) to the current end of the game. Further content will be added as it is released.

- New in 3.0f: new (well, new to me) document found in Research Station.(Search for "Team Alpha".)

As always, if you spot any errors or omissions please let me know. Similarly, if you find any sections of dialogue that have yet to be improved, (i.e., they still appear in the original 'machine-translated?' form) please report them to the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Please include either a section of text or a screenshot to enable Sword's team to quickly find and improve the offending wording. (F12 saves a screenshot in your Stalkersoup\_appdata_\screenshots folder.)

COLLECTOR:
Part Two of the Walkthrough includes the Collector quests, but the links below are to older versions with some larger photos that might be easier to see...

Updated: game version 1.1.0019.1, doc version 2.0a - August 2020

(Microsoft Excel .xlsx file)

I will probably update this with additional notes as I figure out what more info portions do. I won't keep making announcements for these, just increment the version letter: a, b, c... etc..

pchester, may I please say that, to me, this is truly a work of art. It's a masterpiece of effort, layout and beauty

I never expected to see a walkthrough of such magnificence for this game, but then I didn't know you were working on one!

In creating this, plus your other offerings above, you have just taken StalkerSoup to a whole new level, and I wish I could offer more upvotes for a single post

Thank you PhilH231, but please don't stop your planned walkthrough on account of mine. Everyone's experiences in the Zone will be different, and the more up-to-date game guides we have available to players, the better.

Hi pchester, at the start of Collector, Sid asks MO to sell Sid quickly any of the items MO finds. Did you do so or did you keep them for your belt, please. I ask here because, it seems obvious imo that if players are pretty wealthy by the time they start the second level, Level 1, that they would keep the artefacts and only sell them if the first level they play is level 1. So I wonder if you are aware of any other benefits of selling such artefacts as mushrooms to Sid in Level 1 to 4, please? I look forward to your reply, thanks and regards, TrueB.

Sid is at heart a trader, and he wants you to trade exclusively with him and not trade with his rivals. However, If I have something I want to trade I just take it to the nearest trader, whoever that is. There are exceptions, of course, but in general I don't find it worth my time to cart stuff across half the Zone just to take advantage of a small price difference.

It is really a matter of player choice whether to sell everything immediately or to stash everything in case you might need it later. Personally I have always been a looter/hoarder at heart, so I tend to loot everything and leave stashes everywhere. Admittedly much of it never gets touched again.

As you say, by the time Collector starts most players who started in Level 0 will have built up enough money to buy anything they need or want to try out. I do like trying different weapons, for example, and it is nice not to have to worry about whether I can afford the next shiny. If I need more money I can usually go to my nearest stash and sell enough to make up the difference. I find that more interesting than carrying multiple-millions in cash on me at all times; but that is just me.

In my experience there aren't many artefacts in Collector that are significantly better than the top-tier ones from the pre-Collector game. Even so, I tend to stash all of the artefacts that I find. (It is "Collector" after all!)

Mushrooms are different, and these are the only items that I sell as a matter of course. Stashed mushrooms have (or had? I don't know if this has been changed...) a tendency to 'disappear' after a while. I have been told that this is because mushrooms would be expected to rot away over time. I don't know if that is the actual reason, but it makes a kind of sense so I am happy to go along with it.

Thank you all, I hope it will be of help the next time you get stuck - as long as you get stuck before Recon, that is...

Just so you know, Sword (our arbiter of good dialogue) has kindly offered to proof-read all 220-odd pages, correcting my sloppy spellings as he goes. My thanks also to those of you who have been sending me corrections, suggestions and reminders of things I had forgotten about. Hopefully the next update will be even closer to what is actually in the game!

I have started work on Part 2 (just got Lukash's ring) and still have a long way to go, but at least it is going. Speaking of which, I suppose I had better get back to it... study Sleep

Hi pchester your 1st walk is brilliant and I keep it by me on my tablet pc whenever I game. I am really looking forward to your 2nd walkthrough as I stopped just before Generators previously. My MO has sent yours, a new pair of hiking socks and boots, a larger rucksack containg the crate of beer in lab x18  Wink

Hi pchester

Brilliant work. I'm part way through Collector 2 from a MO 1.10018 start. For the first time ever, found the Collector stash in Old Village at the tractor taken over by trees. Screens below, if needed:

Thank you for this exceptional guide.

Hi kd6dm,

Well done, that one has always eluded me, too. It seems so obvious in your screenshot, but the number of times I have circled that thing looking for it... Rolling Eyes  I have a way to go before Collector, but perhaps this time I won't need to make that "just in case" save before picking up the previous stash!

Still moving forward with Part 2... 70-odd pages done and Boatswain has just arrived at his new home. I am still undecided about how to handle the collector missions, but hopefully something will come to me by the time I get there!

Thanks for letting me know so quickly, pchester. Wednesdays are my main gaming days, so just in time. I have them in my program so will try to download them as well.

Excellent as always!

Pchester, i'm using the not updated guide, i'm at this part:

"You enter the Swamps at a hamlet in the south east. A small group here is led by Lector.
Talk to Lector
Lector explains about the Clear Sky clan, which has its base in the Swamp."

What page this is in the new guide?

Hi pchester, for all your hard work on this update, having your expertise in all things Stalkersoup extant generously shared is a real boon to all players. Adding to this your skills in map-making and draughtsmanship is such a wonderful and helpful gift. From me a big thank you too, for making my way through this ever evolving Game would be very hard without having a Master Stalker as you are to guide the way.

Hi pchester
many thanks for the massive new walkthrough pt.1, in the past it was recomended to
go down the caves with god mode on due to the serious lack of protection, is this still a
runner, also I did not know one could go round most of the cave system before seeing the
miner and so get lots of goodies, I have just restarted SS and would like to give it a try using
your cave plans and stash/sell all over wieght items collected on the return to sids place,
and then go back to normal mortality, I realise its cheating but but the shear number of
nasties down there one has a poor level of survival with out the god mode as an opption.

Hi nemisis1842khann,

No part of StalkerSoup is intended to be so tough that you have to use God mode to succeed, but the option is there if you need it. IMHO, not having any worries about getting hurt takes a lot of the fun out of the game. On the other hand, so does constantly dying, so I do understand why some players use it.  

I seem to remember the Caves-of-old being harder than they are now, but that may just be my familiarity with the area having been through it so many times! If you aren't sure, I suggest that you make a hard save at the start of the Caves section and try without using God mode. If it doesn't work out for you, then reload and use God. Just remember to use the minigun in short bursts to minimise its kick, reload whenever the mutants give you a chance, and use bolts to locate and get past anomalies - especially those in the entrance to the Miner's cavern. Make use of saves whenever you complete a section successfully. Work your way through the area at your own pace, and reload your last save and try again if something goes wrong.

Good luck, Stalker...

I agree about the caves pchester, I find once the gang of mutants arrival is well known to players, then backing up some of the sloping walls can get MO above them. They wipp mill around below snd MO can get them with the minigun in a few bursts. 
Where I do feel Invincible mode is a good idea, is the corridor in Lab X 18 when metal is thrown by the monsters it will kill MO. Invincible mode is so handy but it has to be selected prior to play. It would be great if like the advanced options section, or in options Game, if players could move from normal to invincible or if brave, aggressive mode, during play, please?

You can enable the 'god' option on the options game menu page.

I just wondered if you meant the game options were on the launcher or actually accessible in play by Esc Options Game

While in-game, pressing Esc, Options, Game, and ticking 'God Mode' will make you invincible enough to get you through a difficult part

While still in-game, pressing Esc, Options, Game, and unticking 'God Mode' will get you back to normal
