Complete walkthrough for the Warlock's Debtor side mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Find Valik Lummox, retrieve his loot, and deal with the bandits.
Walkthrough
- 1Find Warlock in Zalissya: Speak to Warlock in the Bar at Zalissya and ask for a job. He will task you with collecting a debt from Valik Lummox.
- 2Locate Valik Lummox: Head north of Zalissya to the Water Tower. Your PDA map will guide you. Be aware of anomalies on the path.
- 3Approach the Water Tower: As you near the Water Tower, you'll find a group of bandits who also want Valik's money. You have a choice on how to proceed.
- 4Confront Valik or Bandits: You can talk to the Bandit Leader or Valik through a window. Siding with Valik is generally more lucrative. If you choose Valik, inform him Warlock sent you.
- 5Retrieve Valik's Loot: Go to the top of the Water Tower, avoiding Electro Anomalies (use Bolts to detect and clear them). At the top, you will find Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S, an assault rifle with a useful scope.
- 6Deal with the Bandits: From the Water Tower, you can use the AKM-74S to eliminate the bandits. Consider the weather; a storm can aid your visibility. After clearing the area, loot the bandits for weapons and ammo.
- 7Return to Valik: Once the bandits are dealt with, return to Valik. He will thank you, and you can demand he pay Warlock. The mission concludes after this interaction.
