After finally meeting up with the Doctor, Skif discovers a wounded Strider at his doorstep towards the end ofthe Dark Times main mission inStalker 2. After having a long conversation about Strelok, the Doctor asks Skif if he can retrieve a Monolithian device that could save Strider’s life, thus starting An Act of Mercy main mission.
This mission is quite straightforward, but there’s a special objective that can make things a lot harder for players. Players will also get the Whip unique rifle as a reward towards the end of the mission.
Finding the Monolithian Device in the Cable Tunnel
Once the conversation with the Doctor concludes, head over to the Cable Tunnels location toretrieve the Monolithian device. Once you reach the building, go inside and start descending the lights of stairs until you reach the lowest level. Now there will be enemies ahead, and you must not kill them to fulfill the Doctor’s optional request totake care of enemies non-lethally.
Although shooting enemies in the leg will take them down without killing them, it will still mark the Doctor’s optional objective as failed. So, even if you shoot enemies in the legs to incapacitate them, it’ll still count as a kill, rendering the special objective failed. Make sure to stock up on a lot of medkits to keep restoring HP as you run past all the gunfire.
Here’s how to find theMonolithian Device known as the Regeneratorin An Act of Mercy quest.
Once you have the Regenerator, you’ll need to make your way back to the Doctor’s house.
Taking the Device back to the Doctor & Getting the Whip Rifle
Once you arrive at the Doctor’s house inside the anomalous field, the front door will be unlocked this time around. Head inside the house, and enter the living room to grab aunique marksman rifle from the table called the Whip. After taking the rifle, head further into the house until you spot an open cellar down at the back of a room.
Head down to the basement and open the door.This will trigger a long cutscenethat will show that Strider has gained consciousness and has started attacking the doctor under the influence of the Monolith. It’s a pretty cool cutscene that will eventually lead to players starting the next main mission, “Legends of the Zone” inStalker 2.
Once you exit the Doctor’s house, he’ll pay you ahuge amount of Coupons as a rewardif you successfully manage to avoid killing even a single enemy during An Act of Mercy quest.
