How do they work? Fanatic said i need a soul but where is this teleporter?

And i put down 2 of the sakharov's teleporters but i don't know how to activate them.

There are several NPCs (including Fanatic, Sakharov, then later

Spoiler:

who offer special teleport services in return for completing certain tasks. Some NPCs can create teleports to several locations, but they all leave from the same place on their respective maps.

To activate these teleports you must talk to the NPC concerned and have enough money, plus the artefact that they need to power the portal, in your inventory. The money and artefact will be taken as payment. (In some cases you can buy the artefact back.)

Some of these NPCs offer a choice of a cheaper but less accurate teleport (they might work, or you could end up anywhere!) or a more expensive, accurate teleport that will always take you to the intended location. When you have paid the NPC, his teleport portal will appear elsewhere on the map.

Personally I seldom use these services, as usually I don't have the required artefact on me - and besides, once you get to know where the various "natural" portals are, travel in Stalkersoup isn't that difficult. However, they can be useful shortcuts if you don't want to tramp across several maps.

Bro, i did all three teleporter missions. fanatic's and sakharov's transimeter missions in AW & Cordon and don't see any of these teleporters. what do they look like? the swirly blue ones like Clear Sky base one? are they invisible? do i need something to activate them?

I looked all over yantar, and didn't see or incounterd anything odd. the Small swamp island, the buses, nothing.

I just tested this and the teleports are working for me. See screenshots below...

1. In Cordon I spoke to Fanatic and paid him a Mica and some money for a 'safe' teleport to Yantar. The teleport appeared close to the fallen tree near the collapsed railway tunnel and derailed locomotive.

2. I spoke to Sakharov and paid him a Soul + money for a teleport to Army Warehouses. His teleport appeared on the small island in the lake

Thanks for screenshots they helped immensely. i figured most of them now, but fanatic doesn't have dialouge for teleporting. i can only ask him any stories or where wolf is.

Thank you, pchester, for this valuable info

I've added these two teleports to the '[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] document, which lists the means to obtaining the 143 earnable teleports I've found so far in the game

When I speak to Fanatic I get two dialogue options:
"It's good to see you again, too..."; and
"By the way, where did Wolf go?"

Clicking the first one brings up more dialogue options, the first one being
"Can you teleport me somewhere please?"

Depending on which of his find-the-computer/documents missions you have done so far, he offers up to three destinations: Army Warehouses, Yantar and Pripyat. His outgoing teleport portal spawns in the same location for each of them.

Hi Sword.

Both Fanatic and Sakharov offer three teleport destinations. They all start from the same location, but do you need info on the destinations? (Sakharov also has three destinations for his hand teleports, but you can use them from anywhere.)

Miser and Max in AW, and Doc in Pripyat, also offer teleport services (single destinations for Miser and Max, three for Doc). Off-hand I can't think of any others, but I may be forgetting someone.

Hi pchester

This is a revelation to me, as I'd always thought that these teleports were single-use only - which is why the dialogues reflect this, and I never bothered with them Shocked

If you have the destinations and prices for these seven missing transitions, I'd be grateful for them, please - if only for completionist reasons - but otherwise I can look for them in-game Smile

And while we're at it, how does one get the Agroprom to the Swamps transition, please? Wink

Hi Sword,

I don't think there is a transition from Agroprom to the Swamps... or if there is, I have forgotten it!

These are the 'NPC' teleports that I know of:

» Fanatic's task to find a computer in Pripyat
» The '100 Rads' bar...
» Sakharov wont talk to me
