Follow our detailed walkthrough for The Poppy Field quest in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Find Mitay, navigate the Poppy Field, locate Pomor, retrieve the religious icon, and make your crucial choice.
Walkthrough
- 1Start the Quest: Find Mitay in Hamster’s shop in Zalissya. He will ask you to retrieve a religious icon from a root cellar in the Poppy Field. It's recommended to stock up on at least 10 energy drinks before heading out.
- 2Locate the Poppy Field: Leave Zalissya via the western road, follow it to an intersection, and take the northern road towards the POL Depot. Head northwest from the POL Depot into the wilderness to find the Poppy Field in the northwest corner of the Lesser Zone.
- 3Find Pomor: In the Poppy Field, locate the house with a white door on the eastern edge. Speak to Pomor. He will offer information about the root cellar for a price (2000 K) or in exchange for retrieving weapons from scattered bodies in the field. It is recommended to help him to avoid paying or searching yourself.
- 4Retrieve Pomor’s Gear: Pomor will mark the locations of the bodies on your map. Head to each marked location and collect the weapons from the bodies. Be aware that traversing the Poppy Field can make you drowsy; use energy drinks to stay awake. If you fall asleep, you will be transported to the location of the last body.
- 5Locate the Root Cellar: After returning the gear to Pomor, he will reveal the location of the root cellar. Head to the western end of the Poppy Field. Follow the northern edge until you are in line with a barn to the south, then head southwest. The root cellar is a small square hole with a ladder.
- 6Retrieve the Religious Icon: Descend the ladder into the root cellar. Loot the body at the bottom if desired, then pick up the Religious Icon from the shelf.
- 7Make Your Choice: Return to Pomor. You can either give him the Religious Icon to receive the unique assault rifle “Unknown Stalker’s AR416” (which may require repairs), or return the icon to Mitay in Zalissya to receive 1000 K (coupons).
