Sarcophagus - Quests | Chernobyl NPP

I'll start off by explaining how to reach the location required to fulfill Wish Granter's quest. You will have to remember, though, that if you choose these endings, you won't be able to unlock the best possible ending of the game. This same road leads to an alternative area - Secret Lab. As a result, even if you plan on getting there, you should still take a look at the description of the first quest. As for this location, Sarcophagus is a highly radioactive area, so you must have a lot of anti-radiation medicines in your inventory. You should also be using a SEVA suit. This armor offers a huge protection against the radiation. Sadly, you won't be able to end the game by running towards one of the available exits. A lot of soldiers will be standing in your way. They're equipped with excellent armors and very powerful guns, so you must be EXTREMELY careful. Save your game often!

QUESTS:

1. Wish granter - part 2

Received from: this quest begins automatically while exploring Red Forest Control Bunker

Starting point: Red Forest Control Bunker sector

What needs to be done:

a) reach the sarcophagus

b) find the monolith and use it

Complete quest walkthrough:

I'd strongly recommend that you turn on your nightvision. You could also consider using a flashlight, however enemy soldiers would have seen you coming. Keep heading forward. Once you've reached a new corridor, you will have to deal with a single sniper unit (#1). Eliminate this soldier quickly, so you won't lose any health points. You could pick up his weapon if you wanted to (#2). The sniper was carrying the most powerful weapon of the game - a Gauss gun. Sadly, this weapons reloads very slowly, so you can't use it against multiple targets.

You may proceed to the next section. Stop your character once you've reached a small junction (#1). This is going to be the most difficult part of this mission. A larger group of enemy soldiers is stationed to your left. You could start leaning out in order to take out a few targets (#2). Go for headshots, because enemy soldiers are wearing very powerful armors and you would waste a lot of time and energy trying to kill them by shooting them in the chest.

I would recommend that you ignore this area for now. Keep going forward. There's a smaller group of enemy soldiers just around the corner (#1). It would be wise to use a grenade in order to get rid of them. You will come across a room filled with large pipes. Turn left and use the ladder (#2) to get down to a lower level.

You should be able to find two interesting objects here - a crate with artifacts (#1) and a stash (#2). Open the stash. As you've probably noticed, there's an Exoskeleton inside. This is the best armor for those of you who plan on having a suit with excellent bullet protection. I wouldn't recommend taking it, because you would have been exposed to the radiation. Instead, take the ammunition. Go back to the junction and save the game.

You've got two choices here. It would be much easier to remain in this corridor. You would have to wait for the enemy soldiers to get here. There's also a risky solution. You would have to get closer to a destroyed part of the wall (#1). Remember, though, that you can be attacked from various angles. Once you've secured most of the room, use the grenades and storm the place (#2). Deal with the remaining enemy units. Save the game once again!

Proceed to the next section. You will come across a staircase. You will have to kill at least two enemy soldiers here (#1). Thankfully, you should be able to surprise them. You could also check their bodies for useful objects. You will come across several new guns, however you don't have to pick them up. Your character will reach a much larger room (#2). Secure this entire area.

Important! This is where you will have to make your final decision. If you plan on going to the secret lab, head on to the description of the second quest. If you want to meet the Wish Granter, keep reading.

If this is your default quest, you shouldn't have any problems reaching a correct entrance. You just have to use your minimap. There's a narrow passageway here (#1). Use it. You are getting closer to a much larger room. Start going upwards (#2). You won't encounter any enemy units here, so you may as well holster your weapon. You will only have to watch out for radiation. I would also recommend that you save your progress at least once, because it's very easy to fall down.

Head on to the first ladder. Use the nightvision goggles if you think it's too dark here. The second ladder is going to be located on your left (#1). You will have to reach the upper platform. Your main goal here is to step through a teleporting device (#2).

You are going to be teleported to one of the highest platforms. As a result, you must be very careful, because it's going to be very easy to make some kind of a mistake. Head on to a metal construction (#1). Use it to reach a lower level. Once you're there, keep heading towards your current destination. There are a few others platforms here (#2). You shouldn't have any problems reaching them and there's only one path leading to your final goal.

You will have to jump down twice near the end (#1). Watch out during the second jump, because it's very easy to fall down. You will finally reach the monolith (#2). Approach it and press the action key. Now you will only have to sit back and enjoy one of the available endings of the game. Check the next chapter of the guide if you want to find out more.

2. Secret lab - part 2

Received from: this quest begins automatically once you've finished Secret stash at Pripyat task

Starting point: Pripyat sector

What needs to be done:

a) find a secret entrance

b) use the decoder to open a steel door

c) find out what's inside the secret lab

Complete quest walkthrough:

If you want to finish this task, you will have to ignore the second final quest - Wish Granter. Thankfully, choosing this quest will allow you to reach the best possible ending of the game. We start off inside a large room. You will have to locate a second passageway (#1). Use the ladder (#2). You shouldn't have any problems finding it.

You will eventually come across a large steel door (#1). Try opening it. Sadly, you will have to wait for the decoder (the one from the Pripyat hotel) to unlock the door. It's going to take about 30 seconds. In the meantime, you will have to deal with several new soldiers. The enemy units will appear near the ladder (#2). You could try crouching (they probably won't see you right away) or throwing a couple of grenades. Once the door is opened, head on to the new corridor. You will have to wait for the game to load a new map. Once this is done, this mission will come to an end and you'll be able to proceed with the next quest.
