Stalker: Clear Sky → Swamps
After watching a video introductory sequence, we find the bartender and receive our first piece of information about the current state of affairs. Our conversation is interrupted by Lebedev, who demands Scar’s presence. The conversation with Lebedev also sheds light on recent events and future prospects.
The Swamps are a unique location. Visibility is quite poor due to the ubiquitous sedge thickets. Along the way, you’ll encounter a small herd of scaly-boars, which you can take down without wasting ammo. The goal of the first foray is to reach the tower with the panicking “Chistonebobovtsy,” climb up to him, shoot the boars, and then safely pass out from the blast.
Having regained consciousness on our familiar bed, we go to Lebedev to listen to some vague discussions about the Zone, the history of the Big Blowout, and Scar’s place in its sequel. From everything he’s said, it’s clear we need to get to the Cordon, closer to the Zone. But then it turns out the Clear Sky camp is literally surrounded by Renegades.
