"Stalker: The Valley of the Shorokhov": passage. "Stalker": tools

Who does not know the game STALKER? Of course, there are no such people. "Stalker" is a game of the last decade, which is still popular and has a huge audience. The main indicator that STALKER is still alive is the regular release of new mods. Each of them is unique in its own way and gives the game new colors, expanding the gameplay. Mod "Stalker: Shorokhov Valley" was not an exception to the rules and opened a new world, bringing back many happy players back to the world of the Exclusion Zone.

Short description fashion

The world of fashion is limited to just one location, and players do not have the opportunity to get into places from the original game. However, "Stalker: Shorokhov Valley" is a game that is very full of all sorts of trifles. Yes, there is only one location in it. But it is so detailed and extensive that the player will be where to go for a walk.

In the fashion added a few new artifacts, original and interesting quests, there were new monsters. So thanks to the saturation of "Stalker: Call of Pripyat. Shorokhov Valley "can be safely called a real full-fledged game, not a fashion.

Staging the plot

So, the action begins. The plot is based on the fact that the local art dealer, the Beard, was ordered to search for a very rare and valuable anomalous education. Ordinary stalkers call it "Heart of the Oasis". Beard collects information about this artifact, and then instructs the search for three of his friends. Thanks either to the irony or sense of humor of the creators, but their names are Balbes, Coward and Experienced. However, for unknown reasons, they all mysteriously disappear.

The protagonist of the game, stalker Maxim, undertakes the task of finding the disappeared guys. Max - a seasoned adventurer, decided to save up more money in the Zone before leaving it. The received order should become the last and key in his life.

First steps

So begins the story "Stalker: The Valley of the Shorokhov". The passage of the main storyline takes about 3 - 4 hours. The amount of time spent on the game depends on the style chosen by the gamer. Someone breaks ahead with the fight, spreading the opponents in different directions. Some choose a slow, but safe way, shooting zombies and mutants in small groups and collecting the objects dropped from them.

Getting into the Valley of rustles, the protagonist immediately meets two stalkers near the cave. Between them a conversation is tied. Stalkers report that there is an artifact in the cave, and their friend, who tried to get it, is probably already dead. In the cave of Max expect trouble in the face of several zombies. Having dealt with them, the main character finds the body of the unsuccessful artifact seeker and the actual artifact itself. Solving a small puzzle with portals, the protagonist gets out of the cave and continues his journey, taking a few things from the deceased.

New acquaintances

So, the adventures of the gallant stalker continue. Going a little further, Max gets to a small settlement in which you can take the task (get a USB flash drive in exchange for information about the missing). In general, by the number of interesting quests there is no fashion better than "Stalker: Shorokhov Valley". The compass will be an excellent helper. With his help, Max can easily find a den of gangsters who need to select a flash drive.

After a short skirmish, after talking with several characters, the main character goes to pick up a box from the merchant. After it it is necessary to give to Maximilian, the mother stalker, who will be able to share the necessary information. What is stored in the box, it will not work out. After the conversation Maximilian immediately takes him away, tells a little about the missing, and without indicating the right path, and offers to give equipment in return for participation in the storming of the base of bandits.

Going errands again

After wandering around the camp a little and doing several side quests, it's time to go to the aid of Maximilian. After a meeting with him, an attack of the enemy base will begin. The shootout is quite tense, but it's worth it. After the end of the battle Maximilian will reward the protagonist with a good amount of ammunition, first-aid kits and other useful things. However, no information from him will not be achieved. Instead, Max is again sent to a meeting with another assistant. This time it will be Radik, who needs to carry some food.

On the way to Radik's lair there is another camp. In it you can perform additional quests. For each of them, the protagonist will receive a certain amount of money, equipment and ammunition. In fact, it's worth it, because in Stalker: Shorokhov Valley, the main campaign takes only a small part of the playing time. Performing side quests, for which the best rewards are given, is the main part of the gameplay.

The fate of the disappeared friends

Max arrives at the place, which turns out to be a dark cave, in which Radik took refuge with his fighters. After talking with him and giving the food, the protagonist will finally find out what happened to the missing stalkers. According to the story, they were in the detachment of Radik. However, Trus left the company long before the events that had occurred. Not reaching the destination just a little bit, Radik's squad was attacked. Bulbes, unfortunately, did not manage to survive the battle, and poor fellow Experienced was taken prisoner with another comrade.

After such a heart-wrenching story, the planning of a rescue operation begins. The protagonist offers assistance to Radik in this situation. But not everything is so simple. The operation will not be a classic massacre, but a thoughtful stealth mission. After destroying several soldiers, removing their form from them and obtaining a PDA, Max disguises himself as a mercenary and penetrates the enemy's base. The experienced there already is not. His further fate is unknown.

So, the next turn of events in the game "Stalker: The Valley of Shorokhov." The passage of the next part begins with the fact that the protagonist has to cling to the last remaining thread, which will allow to learn about the fate of the missing stalkers. Max goes in search of the Coward. After talking with some of the main characters, the protagonist learns that Coward has gone to look for the artifact. Apparently, it is the one that the Beard ordered them.

Unexpected new friend

It turned out that to get on the plateau to which the Coward went, you need to teleport. To do this, you need to use a special device, which was created by a stalker called Tesla. The creators were not very zealous, inventing characters in names in the fashion "Stalker: The Valley of Shorokhov." The passage of the further part of the path is complicated by the fact that part of this device, or rather the microchip, was stolen by a bandit named Oleg. The main character goes to his search.

To find Oleg it is possible quickly enough. But it will be problematic to win. After all, he is protected by a squad of mercenaries. And Oleg himself is not going to die, defending himself with the help of a machine gun. However, having overcome the thief, the hero returns to Tesla. He will fix the device and agree to compose the company to the point of teleportation and help it to accomplish.

The Fate of the Coward

After teleportation, the protagonist is in another cave. It is teeming with various mutants: rats, zombies, and even the controller comes across. After defeating all these numerous enemies and solving a new puzzle related to the anomalies, Max learns the fate of Trus. Unfortunately, he died. The corpse of an unfortunate stalker lies just a few meters from the desired goal. At the end of the cave is the artifact "Heart of the Oasis". Bedolagus Trusu did not have only a few steps to get to him.

However, to safely carry the artifact to the Beard and fulfill the order to Max is not given by those same stalkers who helped him to reach the cave. Bandits rob the protagonist right on the way out, selecting all the equipment and weapons. "Stalker" is a game with unpredictable plot twists. But this has long been not an original device.

Restoration of justice

Max has to return with absolutely empty inventory for help to Maximilian. A little laughing at the carelessness of the protagonist, the experienced stalker sends him to Volodya "Big", who can help. In addition, the generous Maximilian gives him his equipment and weapons.

After a brief transition, Max meets the Big and his fighters. Volodya, like Maximilian, scoffs at the failed treasure hunt, but agrees to help. The detachment stands at the location of the deceivers who robbed Max. After a small gunfight, all the bandits are dead, including the former "friend" of the protagonist Tesla. Having searched the corpses, you can, in addition to the "Heart of the Oasis", find several items related to side quests.

The adventure is coming to an end

After that, you should wander around the Zone a little, performing side quests. They are quite diverse, as always in the game "Stalker": find tools, anomaly to investigate, go to the raid on bandits and the like.

Having accumulated money, improving their weapons, having completed all the desired quests, it's time to finish the passage. You can end the game by leaving the Zone through a special pass. There will not be any special clips at the end, only a few inscriptions describing the fate of some characters after the end of the adventures in the Zone.

Of course, you can still discuss the passage of side quests, interesting places with hiding places full of good equipment and so on. In addition, there are codes on "Stalker: Shorokhov Valley", thanks to which you can spend a few extra hours playing, amusing yourself.

Summarizing

This mod is one of the most complete, saturated, diverse in recent times. In addition, the plot, unlike most others, in this fashion is also at its height. Submission is slow, all the characters in their places, there is no absurdity in the dialogues, there is quite a lot of humor. In addition, the plot is very changeable. It's simply impossible to get bored when passing through the Valley of Rustles.

It should be noted perfectly made cut scenes. They, though created by non-professional developers, and amateur modders, but performed very qualitatively. All of them are well animated, they reveal all the key events of the plot. In addition, there are a lot of them, they are rich and pleasing to the eye

In addition to the plot component, I would like to separately note the location "Valley of rustles". She is beautiful and harmonious. There are both overpopulated and unnecessarily built-up areas, as well as desert and boring places. At every step there are interesting design solutions. Whether it's an intricate labyrinth of caves or a complex mercenaries' base built in a complex way.

But the whole community of fans of "Stalker" is looking forward to if not a continuation, then at least some new projects from the authors of the beautiful fashion. In the meantime, you can run "The Valley of Rustles" a couple of times, discovering new nuances and interesting moments of a wonderful fashion. Thanks to the developers for many hours of great gameplay. Almost any person who started playing this mod, passes it to the end. After all, it's almost impossible to break away, given the exciting atmosphere of the game, deeply conveyed by the developers. Everyone is wondering if "Stalker: Shorokhov-2 Valley" will be released, but so far no data on this.
