Detailed map | Cordon
DETAILED MAP OF THIS ZONE - NPC's & IMPORTANT PLACES:
Important NPC characters (red color):
1 - Sidorivich - He's one of the three traders of the game. This means that you will be able to sell him all of your things (including weapons, armors and ammunition), not only medikits or artifacts. Sidorivich will also grant you with several very important tasks, as well as a large number of sidequests. You won't have to finish these minimissions in order to succeed. Furthermore, some of these quests will be broken, so you won't be able to reach the ending. I would recommend going back to Sidorivich once you've gathered enough objects. Sadly, he won't be selling anything interesting, so save up your money for later.
2 - Wolf - You're going to have to talk to Wolf in order to proceed with the first main mission of the game. Wolf will also give you several side missions, however some of them may vanish from his list later during the game. Wolf is a commander of this camp and this is very you've started your game.
3 - Tolik - You will encounter Tolik near the starting camp. He will be severely wounded, so you will have to treat him by giving him a med-kit. Once you've saved him, Tolik will return to the camp and that's where you'll have to search for him.
4 - Petruha - You will encounter this Stalker while trying to fulfill one of your first tasks. He will accompany you while you'll be trying to take over the bandit camp.
5 - Nimble - Nimble will be hiding in the bandit camp. You will have to approach him once you've secured the area. It's very important that you kill all bandits. Otherwise he wouldn't even talk to you. Nimble will leave this area in order to return to the camp. You will be able to receive simple side quests from him.
6 - Fox - You will have to meet this Stalker in order to finish up with one of the main quests of this map. After that, he will probably remain in that location. Furthermore, Fox may die later during the game (there are a lot of aggressive animals and soldiers in the area), however it won't affect the outcome of the game.
Guide character will also be standing here later during the game. You're going have to talk to him in order to end Meet the Guide quest. You will also receive a second mission from him.
Important places (green color):
1 - This is a small camp and it's where you'll begin your journey (Sidorivich's bunker is nearby). You will come across several important NPC characters here, including Wolf, Sidorivich and many other Stalkers. You might want to consider exploring all of the surrounding buildings, especially since you'll be able to find interesting objects there (mostly artifacts).
2 - This is where the bandit camp has been located. Nimble can be found inside. Once you've rescued him and secured this area, you will come across several friendly Stalkers here, however bandits will try to retake this place from time to time, so you must be careful.
3 - Army base. I wouldn't recommend going near it, especially in the early part of the game, mostly because there are A LOT of soldiers in the area. Even if you manage to enter the base, you won't be able to stay here for too long, mostly because reinforcements will show up very soon. You will also find a closed gate here. Sadly, you won't be able to open it.
4 - You will come across a destroyed bridge here, as well as a military checkpoint. As a result, you will have to be very careful. Thankfully, you should be fine, as long as you don't attack any of the soldiers. You will be able to get to the other side of the bridge by finding a hole in the fence. You will also come across several interesting objects at the top of the bridge, including ammunition for your current guns.
5 - You should be able to find a collapsed tunnel here. As a result, you won't be able to use it. You will also begin your exploration here once you've return from The Dark Valley district. Sadly, you won't be able to use this passageway earlier during the course of the game.
6 - There are a few small building in this area. You should be able to find several friendly Stalkers here. Consider talking or trading with them. You will also come across some new mutants, however it's going to be very easy to kill those things.
7 - There are a few buildings here. I would recommend checking them out, because you should be able to find several stashes in this area.
8 - This is one of the most dangerous area of this sector, so you will have to be VERY careful. If you want to explore the wreckage, you will have to enter this area from the north-west. Make sure that you're moving very slowly, so you won't end up too close to one of the anomalies.
9 - This is a second military checkpoint. This road leads straight to Garbage, so you will have to secure it. You will probably encounter a small group of thugs here. I would recommend going to your right and hiding behind the trees. You should be able to take out several enemies from here. After that, move up closer to the brick wall and kill the rest of them. You could also consider using grenades here. Also, this area may be already secured. If this happened, you shouldn't kill any of the friendly Stalkers. You will have to enter the building and head on to an open door in order to proceed to the Garbage zone.
10 - There's a destroyed vehicle here, as well as a few bodies. I WOULDN'T recommend going there, because this is a radioactive area. The same goes with many other locations on this map, including Nimble's stash. As a result, maintain a safe distance and focus your attention on other things.
