I have no idea of where/how to enter these quests/maps you mention. I am playing the typical game and not the collectors edition. I did open up another path of play by speaking to the bandit before going with Bullet to help his people. I had never known of the game play with Borov ... it was great . I try to speak to as many people now as possible to find new paths but nothing has happened to get me to limansk as once mentioned by Zahar. I have not gotten the controller brains for the Freedom commander and some quest lines are broken. Duty general won't see I had killed Hump , Sid does not see I have the artifact in the case , and other paths.
If I must start over AGAIN , I would be as lost as before.
As I read this reply, it is vague as I speak...hard to explain it all .
I have cheated early on and acquired special weapons from the weapons list....AA12 shotgun & a sniper rifle, and a Nano suit ended up in my backpack. I use the teleports only when the game gets redundant ....like traveling from radar to army warehouses. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but where ?

Thank You for the patience to reply .

I'm not sure this is what happened, but just today I killed Hump, but with a grenade. Even though he was dead, I got no credit. Using ESC-R (do a save, first use of ESC-R gives CTD) I resurrected him and killed him again, this time with a shotgun. I got the system message that I'd killed Hump Voronin is now happy.

Traders can't see artifacts in the case. Take it out of the case first and see what happens Wink

Thank You ... I tried to have the artifact open and in case ... doesn't seem to see either. I'll try that with the hump debacle next time I get there . I'm going to start over again and see where I'm going wrong. Perhaps the cheat weapons are giving me a bad pathway .

Forgot to say:

If an NPC killed Hump, I didn't get credit.

Make sure no firearms are on or near Humps corpse as he may well use them against you when resurrected. Similarly, don't stand too close to Hump on resurrection as he'll likely do a melee attack if so. Have your firearm deployed.

Make sure Hump isn't near any Merc corpses as ESC-R may revive them, too.

Kill Hump is one of my least favorite side missions as it is both picky as to how it's played and buggy (For instance: it may have changed, but a quickload after a quicksave has always cleared all corpses from the site, no looting available).

If you've not yet reached Recon then you have much more playing time left in the game...

If you come to a full stop in any quest line, then go somewhere else. Very little of the game is linear, and achieving something in one place will often trigger something in a different map

Playing last night I needed to kill some time in the game while waiting for an NPC to show up, so I went to Agroprom to clear out a few stashes - and found a recently-placed map with a new transition (Agroprom to the Cordon)!

I've been playing this game for over three years, attempting to clean up dodgy dialogues in my wake, and only met Fang two weeks ago. I play very few other games, and haven't got to Collector yet Wink

I hear you . And, Thank You .

The bummer is when I come to a broken quest and can get no further. I do not understand the language in the " info" helps and stop there . I have cleared out my "task" list many times and seemingly can go nowhere. I have begun a new game and will go much slower. I can only assess that I have been going too fast in search of the "rabbits tail" .... (sort of speaking) .

Very wise. Most of us here have started the game several times over, and learnt something new each time

Please avoid using the game's built-in cheat mode Teleporter. It's only there for Beta testers, and will not only spoil your enjoyment of the game, but can bypass essential trigger points when entering an area from an unexpected direction

Also, avoid using Infoportions unless you really, really need one to resolve a known fault. Common known faults are usually fixed quickly with a mini-patch, but Infoportions can screw up your path through the game faster than anything if used indiscriminately. They should be treated only as a last resort when all else fails...

Let us know how you get on... Smile

Well, this game just gets better & better. After starting a new game and talking to many I had never had course with ...new and great things are open. Now, I have completed all quests, gold chunks, controller brains, Ghost's diaries, etc.. but the Hump saga stays broken . I kill him, resurrect him .. kill him . and never get the completed quest. I haven't heard from Fang yet so this may be a broken quest ... bummer ! I'm going insane now hoping to find the mystery cure (not a real quest...just my brain strain)...I'll stumble around for awhile and see what pops. Haven't reached Recon....don't even know what this is actually . So I'm off to see the wizard (pun) !

Again, I dislike the Hump mission as it seems so buggy. One playthrough I had to re-enter Rostok 5 or 7 times to get the mission to complete.

It's weird during the battle, as well. Sometimes there are 6-8 Duty and Loners helping the battle, others only 2-3 are there (the Duty guards).

It's like taking out the trash when the bag is overfull. You hold your breath that the bag won't rip and leave you with a mess...

But seriously.... where is Fang the first time we find him? Do we talk to him to do Fang quests before Limansk or someone else? If so who? Do we not actually see him before the cave in Recon? How to get to Recon if we have to go there before Limansk? I have a job in Limansk also but no way to get there. I have played SOC,CS,COP and COC with several diff mods, LA DC, Last day , SGM22. This is by far the most challenging. Great work here and it runs smooth.

StalkerSoup Guide 05 Oct 2014:

23. Then go to the Freedom base and take the Dead Frenchman's PDA. The dead
Frenchman's corpse was in the upper room of the Freedom headquarters. Need to loot his
body fast before the npcs do. Some Avengers spawn also. Report back to the hunter leader
Zahar in the Bar area.

24. If you have met the requirements for this quest to continue a couple new ways
(transitions) will appear. Talk with Fang and he will have some new dialogue options.

; << Where?? Does not say in Recon or any hint at all of where to find Fang to go talk to him. >>

25. After completing all Fang Quests go to Limansk. In one of the buildings we find a group
of Freedom soldiers headed by Bormann. Talk to Bormann (I found him outside patrolling
the street) and get the task to destroy the Monolith sniper.

The kicker, this was in between 23 and 24....... It says I have to go to Limansk before I can go to Limansk and meet Fang before I can find Fang. I was tracking ok using this guide until I got to here. Used two other guides to fill in the blanks in this one up to this point. Now stuck.

New area can be opened in step below depending on if you
have completed the quests in 'The search for boxes and safes of the
Mysterious Stalker', "Continued search for a Mysterious Stalker" and have
met Fang : Red Forest and Limansk Other quests I have done up to this point
in case they might be necessary: Search for the Lost Expedition, Begin
Search for Ghost and Fangs Murderers, Search for Fangs Killer, The Search
for Ghost, Clear Sky Quests 6-14, Quests Fang (Varlab, Red Forest) 1-26 and
of course Quests Kostya Search For The Black Doctor 1-23

Fang's story is interwoven with several others, so it can seem a bit complicated. It might be easier to follow if I go back a little way...

Spoilers, obviously... :: After finding the safe in the Labyrinth, you left it with the Miner to see if he could open it. He told you to come back when you "finish your business". This business was to find Fang's killer, which you completed when you killed LeHavre.

After killing LeHavre, return to the Miner. He says he couldn't open the safe, but he knows someone in Recon who might be able to. He gives you the transition from Labyrinth to Recon.

In recon you do a number of tasks, including visiting the Fiery Cave and meeting Pilgrim. After a while you get an SMS from Fang, which is the first time you learn that he is still alive.

You meet up with Fang in the cave, and he sends you to investigate Warlab. After everyone is dead you pick up the Merc leader's book and return to Fang, who is now in the old farm in Army Warehouses, on his way from Recon to the Bar.

Fang tells you to talk to Lukash (who used to be a Merc) about becoming accepted by the Mercs. You find Lukash's Merc ring, enter Warlab and meet Panther. After completing her tasks and defeating the other Mercs you return to Fang who is now at the camp fire in the Bar area.

Fang tells you to return the ring to Lukash. He also gives you a task involving the hunters in Red Forest, which opens that area. Another Red Forest task follows, then he tells you to meet Astrologer in Cordon and give him the map copies.

After talking to Astrologer, you get an SMS from Fang telling you that Pilgrim is trapped in a new area called Old Village. He says you need to find the Black Doctor in Limansk to find out how to get there. By now you should have transitions to Limansk from Army Warehouses and Red Forest.

You eventually meet the Black Doctor in the Hospital, an area accessible from the north of Limansk. When you have spoken to him, check your map for a new transition from Pripyat to Old Village.

I hope that makes the Fang section a bit clearer. I have obviously had to leave out a lot of stuff, but the story continues from there...

Perfect. That put me right back on track. Thank you so much. Smile

What if you don't get the sms? I did all tasks in Recon.

I assume that you mean Fang's SMS telling you

Spoiler:: he is still alive. After you find the reagents in Radar and return them to the Gynecologist, you need to talk to Cyclops for a stash clue.

The SMS from Fang should follow that.

I did that task and nobody in Recon has any task for me. Maybe i missed the SMS. How can i tell?

Go back to the cave where you met Pilgrim. If you received his SMS, Fang should be there.

Pilgrim is gone. There's only the portal.
What happens after you meet Fang?
Will there open a new pathway or someting?

You need to find Fang as he is important for the next section of the game.

Spoiler:: When you meet him in the cave, he sends you to investigate Warlab. See if you have the Warlab portal marked - it is behind the locked door across from the Pripyat road in Radar. Hopefully Syak has already given you the entry code.

Fang and Pilgrim then move to the old farmhouse in Army Warehouses where you fought the Duty squad. After that they move to the Bar camp fire.

Not at the old farmhouse, not at the Bar.
I just load an old save game. ):
Thanks anyway.

I did load an old save game and am much further now.
What i do now is make a screenshot of all dialogues because some important tasks don't show up as a task.
But the cryptic hints of Cyclops puzzle me.
Where could this be?
- Where five long needles conspire to pierce the heavens.
- In the nest of their collective custodians,
- Find a forgotten figurine that formed a child's life.
- It now protects the reparatory vessels, and a repository of value

Hint...
What other thing may resemble a LONG needle?
and in what map are 5 of them side by side ?!
You've already been there

Trees?

Towers in Radar might be it.

Five needles, now find "In the nest of their collective custodians."

Sorry but how is this "In the nest of their collective custodians"? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

It is just one of Cyclops' cryptic clues. It means that the five towers are in the military compound.

And 'their collective custodians' are the family who looked after them...

Wherever Cyclops' riddles are involved, you need to pay attention to their punctuation, too Wink

Thanks guys.

Another thing. Why aren't these posts showing up in the search results when i search for cyclops?

Unfortunately the forum's internal search engine is rather limited. The basic search only searches Subject lines, so it won't find terms inside message bodies. To go deeper, use the "Advanced Search" and then "Search Google". This should find entries from inside message bodies - look for the stalkersoup.forumotion.com results. NB: It may not find very recent entries, as the results depend on when Google last indexed the forums.
