How to Save Zalissya (On The Edge Side Mission)

After completing the main mission at the SIRCAA facility in Stalker 2Players may have noticed that Zalissya is no longer on the list of locations where you can fast travel via a guide. It might seem like a bug, but you have to go out on foot to find out what's happening in Zalissya. After approaching the base, you will receive a transmission from Gaffer asking for help in defending Zalissya from the Monolith's attack. This will start the On the Edge mission, which involves rescuing Zalissya and going operational by helping the resident stalkers.

Defend Zalissya from the monolith invasion

After reaching Zalissya, you will notice that the the base is in ruins and a group of monolithic soldiers are attacking everyone there. First you will have to enter the base and eliminate all the attacking Monolith soldiers.

Make sure you only shoot the Monolith soldiers and don't attack the stalkers defending Zalissya. You can double-check whether the cursor stays white or turns green when aiming at soldiers before pulling the trigger. If you shoot a soldier defending Zalissya more than once, the entire mission will fail and the settlement will fall.

Once you're done taking out the Monolith soldiers, head inside the Ward building and talk to the Gaffer sitting inside to begin the On the Edge side quest. He will ask you to track down Uncle Lyonya, who was a monolithic, and eliminate him.

How to find the sorcerer's weapon (optional)

Speaking to Warlock, he will explain how there are two objectives that Skif must complete to get things back on track. The first of the two objectives is to find Warlock's gun in Lens' labs and recover it for him.

Once the conversation is over, head to Lens' laboratory in Zalissya and enter. Head to the workbench and look left to spot Warlock's “Partner” rifle leaning against the wall. Return it to Warlock to complete the objective.

Return the hamster to the base (optional)

The next task on the list for Warlock is to bring Hamster back to base so he can share supplies with the survivors of Zalissya. Head to the emissions shelter in Zalissya to meet Hamster and his guard.

After a brief confrontation, players can choose to threaten Hamster, which could lead to a fight with him, or this can be resolved peacefully by keeping Hamster alive. If you want Hamster to continue operating as a Zalissya seller, take the peaceful route here.

Talk to Hamster's bodyguard and ask how much he pays him for protection. After a short conversation, you will have to do this pay the guard 6000 couponsafter which he will return to Zalissya, taking Hamster with him.

Find Mykolayich's medical kit to help Lens (optional)

Another NPC you can optionally help is Mykolayich, who takes care of the seriously injured Lens. His medical supplies are missing and he needs Skif to find them. This will do it Help Lens get back into shape and become active again as a technician for the Zalissya base.

After completing the conversation, the location of three Gaffer supply crates will be marked on the map. You will have to visit the locations of all the chests in hopes of finding the medical kit for Mykolayich. Once you find the kit, return to him to give it to him. He will thank you for them and start healing Lens.

Eliminate monolithic explorers (optional)

Right outside Ward's office you will find the pharmacist Slavko, who will inform Skif that there is a group of monolithic explorers standing on top of the hill. He will urge you to eliminate them to avoid another Monolith attack.

This objective is quite simple as you will have to cross the hill and simply eliminate the two monolithic explorers located there. Once the scouts are taken care of, the objective will be marked as completed without needing to return to Slavko.

Track down and eliminate Uncle Lyonya

Now you can finally reach the main objective of the On the Edge side mission Stalker 2, locate and eliminate Uncle Lyonya. Start by heading to Uncle Lyonya's hut just outside Zalissya, at the location marked on the map.

After reaching the hut, change the frequency of the radio inside to listen to a conversation between the monolithic soldiers and Uncle Lyonya. After a short moment, he will arrive right outside the hut with the Monolithic Soldiers to attack Skif. Repel the attack and eliminate Uncle Lyonya once and for all.

Next loot his body to recover Uncle Lyonya's PDA, which contains an important message that you can listen to while standing behind Zalissya. Talk to Gaffer and tell him that all objectives have been completed to complete the On the Edge side quest. You will be rewarded with a SEVA suit equipped with PSI protection.
