In “STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl“, the Old Church quest presents players with a challenging yet intriguing task within the eerie Swamps.
As players navigate this treacherous environment, they encounter Psi-beacons that disrupt communication and pose a significant threat to their mental stability.
This puzzle not only tests players’ combat skills against lurking dangers but also requires strategic decision-making.
Reach The Psi-Beacon Room In Stalker 2 Swamp
To complete the Old Church puzzle in “STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl”, players must visit Camp Icarus and speaking with Captain Senkevych.
He will inform you about the interference caused by Psi-beacons that prevent him from scanning for a traitor.
Locate The Old Church
Players must decide on their objective. They can either destroy the Psi-beacons as requested by Senkevych or collect data from them for Dr. Kryvenko, who is also at Camp Icarus. Your choice will affect future quest outcomes.
Further, use their map to find the Old Church located in the Swamps area. However, players must be cautious as this area is filled with hostile creatures and anomalies.
Find The Illuminated Door
Head towards the observatory and locate the lit door at the back of the main room. This door leads to underground tunnels.
Once inside, you will encounter a moving electrical anomaly. Time your movements carefully to avoid taking damage as you run past it.
Reach The Psi-Beacon Room
After passing through the anomaly, continue down the hall to your right until you reach a room with a Psi-beacon.
Stay aware that being near an active Psi-beacon inflicts mental damage, causing hallucinations and potentially dangerous enemies to appear.
You can either shoot the beacon to disable it or interact with it directly if that option is available.
After disabling it, make sure to pick up any fragments left behind before leaving the area.
Exit Safely
You can return through the way you came or explore a broken tunnel system behind a locked door for additional loot.
After completing your objectives, head back to Camp Icarus to report your findings and complete your quest.
Further, discuss with Senkevych or Kryvenko. Depending on whether you destroyed or collected data from the beacons, follow up with either Captain Senkevych or Dr. Kryvenko for your next mission.
