5. Reach the anomaly

Received from: automatically once you've finished fourth quest

Starting point: 3 on the map

Goal area: 4 on the map

Quest description:

As you've probably noticed, you will have to travel east. Your goal area is a small campsite where you'll meet with a few stalkers. You shouldn't encounter any monsters along the way, however you must be on a look out for anomalies and radiation. Remember that you don't have to be in a lot of hurry. Save your current progress frequently, so you won't have to repeat this quest if you die by mistake. Approach the camp and you'll receive a new task.

6. Find the anomaly and step through the teleporter

Received from: automatically once you've finished fifth quest

Starting point: 4 on the map

Goal area: 5 on the map

Quest description:

Completing this quest is going to take your at least a few minutes, because you'll have to travel to the northern part of the forest. I wouldn't recommend going alone. As a result, you should consider talking to Fila (screen). Agree to help him in his quest of finding a campsite in the middle of the forest. You'll activate a subquest at the same time. Wait for Fila's men to start moving north and follow them.

It's important that you stay close to the main group, so you won't have to worry about finding yourself too close to dangerous anomalies. You'll have to help your new allies in defeating a large group of jumpers once you've reached the first underground area. I would recommend using a shotgun here (screen), so you won't have to worry about losing too much ammunition. Just make sure that you stay in the back. Don't hit any of your new allies, because you would have been automatically killed by the other members of the group.

The second group of monsters will attack you near the exit (screen). Thankfully, it's much easier to win here. If you feel confident, you can even stay in the back, because the stalkers should be able to deal with this problem on their own. Eventually you'll end up near the target area. You'll have to make an important decision there. If you think you're skilled enough, choose a shotgun from your inventory. Otherwise consider using a powerful machine gun.

The main campsite is going to be attacked by a very large monster. I'm sure that you remember this creature from one of the underground levels of "Shadow of Chernobyl". I would recommend that you allow the monster to attack some of your colleagues, so you'll have more time to prepare for this battle. Keep firing at the creature until it's dead and prevent it from harming you. Once you've won, make sure to collect ammunition from bodies of killed soldiers. You can stay here a little while longer (possible subquest - wild boars will attack the campsite) or you can start moving towards your current destination right away.

Notice that you're reasonably closer to your target area than you were a few minutes ago. Obviously you'll have to keep heading north. I urge you to move slowly, so you won't end up getting killed by mistake. Once you've arrived, you should notice that a lot of mutants have gathered near the anomaly. Use some of the carried grenades (screen) and then start killing your foes one by one. You'll be dealing with invisible creatures (they have glowing eyes), as well as "jumpers".

I'd strongly recommend that you eliminate all monsters before moving on. Notice a large tank near the anomaly. Proceed down, turn right and climb on top of the tank. Approach the anomaly (screen) and perform a single jump towards it. You're going to be automatically transported to the northern base. Wait for new orders.
