You can complete several quests in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Some of these provide you with key decisions that you need to make, while others can lead to dire consequences. One, in particular, involves the village of Zalissya, where you started your campaign journey many hours prior. Here’s our guide on how to complete On the Edge in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Please note that this article will contain some spoilers.
How to save Zalissya in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl – On the Edge quest guide
The Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl On the Edge side quest occurs midway through the campaign. Specifically, this is after your foray into the SIRCAA facility and a main quest called Just Like the Good Old Days.
You’re notified of this side quest as you’re heading back to Zalissya. Once you’re close enough to the village, Gaffer will contact you via radio saying that Monolith forces are attacking the settlement.
Note: Our Stalker 2 On the Edge guide is based on our playthrough, since we encountered several issues. Your experiences might be different in case you don’t have these problems at all. However, we do discuss how we managed to complete this part and we suggest making several backup manual saves in case of bugs, too. Fair warning: We did lose the guide NPC here, which meant that we could fast travel to Zalissya, but not from the location.
