For the edification of descendants

Kostya wants us to hunt down Zone legends to help strengthen his memoirs. The locations of each of these legends correspond strongly with areas of significance from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky campaign.

## Walkthrough

### Cordon

Kostya mentions the transition from the Swamps to Cordon was especially dangerous, and many stalkers fell to military gunfire when attempting to cross over. This page is within view of the checkpoint.

After picking up the diary page, six soldiers will spawn near you and in the checkpoint. Watch out for one wielding a PKM. Kostya will then message you with details on the next location in the Swamps.

### Swamps

The legendary stalker Scar was said to have survived two blowouts unprotected. The first spot is near the transition to Agroprom, but the second spot was lost to history.

This refers to the blowout that Scar suffers at the very beginning of Clear Sky, near the western watchtower. The note is in the trailer.

After picking up the diary page, six boars will spawn.

### Dump

The messenger Vasyan attempted to follow Fang on a mission to deliver spare parts, but fell victim to blind dogs at one of the exits from the Dump.

Head to the east side of the Dump where the rats congregate around a rucksack. A little further down will be a PDA to pick up.

After picking it up, six pseudodogs will spawn.

### Dark Valley

Kostya tells you a legend about the Freedomer and guitarist Seryoga, who could spellbind even a controller with his performances. The guitar was stolen and only Scar was able to find it again.

Find the dictaphone on the roofs of the scammer farmhouses in Dark Valley.

No enemies will spawn from this dictaphone, but you can play it in your sidearm slot for a song.

### Agroprom

The flash drive is on a skeletal corpse near Sherstyuk.

Pick it up along with the snork foot on the body and eight snorks will spawn around you. Sherstyuk will take care of them.

### Yantar

The PDA needed is behind the swamps, between the exit from the tunnels and the downed helicopter.

Pick it up and eight blind dogs will spawn nearby.

### Army Warehouses

The next piece of material is a bottle of vodka with a note in it, at the top of the bloodsucker village water tower.

Six blind dogs will spawn below you after picking it up.

### Red Forest

The journal you need is in the end of the blocked-off tunnel where burers and poltergeists spawn.

Beware the explosives placed all around the tunnel. Blow them up before getting close, since after picking it up, even more will spawn around you and automatically detonate. Switch to an exoskeleton and explosive resistant artifacts to minimize damage.

Two armored Brotherhood white coats will be waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

### Limansk

The flash drive is located on a skeletal corpse on the far side of the barbed wire electricity trap next to the Hospital transition.

After picking up the flash drive, the electric trap will be re-enabled directly behind you. Four Brotherhood white coats will spawn around your location along with two crawling electro-poltergeists. There is very little cover on that side of the trap so it may be difficult to survive normally.

One solution is to grab the corpse containing the flash drive and simply drag it to a safe distance before activating the ambush. Enough jump height with artifacts will also let you simply jump back over to the other side.

### CNPP2

Turn right immediately after exiting from Monolith Control Bunker to find Scar's corpse.

He will be holding a broken VSS "Vintorez" with a POSP scope attachment along with his personal PDA. After picking it up, five Last Day troopers will spawn near the bunker entrance. Three are armored, and one has a gauss rifle that you need to watch out for. There is no cover by his body and it cannot be dragged to a safer spot, so it's highly advised to equip some jump height and get over the fence.

Kostya is happy with the results and the quest step advances - but he has one more record to find. Sparkle's friend Twinkle disappeared somewhere in the vicinity of the Jupiter quarry. We have to look for clues around there.

### Jupiter

Near the anomalous excavator, a broken-down truck bed will have a rotting corpse in it.

Search Twinkle's body for a broken PKM and Twinkle's note, which indicates a new Last Day faction leader named Thunder has risen to power. Deadly thunderbolts will open.

Run from the location as the quarry will be surrounded by 6 Brotherhood white coats, 3 Last Day exoskeleton wearers, and 3 regular Last Day troopers.

### Army Warehouses

Kostya and Strelok have a conversation about the importance of one's roots. Kostya feels the pair may be growing old, but Strelok reaffirms that they are simply growing and gaining experience as people should be. Kostya also mentions that the book's main subject matter will be the adventures of Strelok, who accepts the compliment with good grace. As a reward, Kostya hands over some ammunition along with a few Teleport artifacts and the quest is closed.
