Eliminate The Enemy: Old Church

Need help with the 'Eliminate The Enemy' mission at the Old Church in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - Enhanced Edition? This guide covers the objective and potential pitfalls.

Alright, let's talk about the Old Church. This is one of those early-game spots where things can get a little hairy if you're not prepared. You'll likely be heading here as part of the mission to clear out the Renegades. The area around the church is usually crawling with them when you first arrive, so be ready for a fight. The Objective: Your main goal here is to eliminate the Renegade presence. This usually involves taking out a number of their guys and potentially securing the location. Keep an eye on your PDA for mission updates – it'll tell you who you need to deal with. When You Can Access: Here's a key thing to remember: the Old Church is a Renegade base at the start of the game. You won't be able to just waltz in and grab any goodies. The Clear Sky faction needs to take control of it first, which usually happens pretty early in the game. So, if you're finding it heavily defended by Renegades and can't seem to make progress, hang tight and focus on other early missions. Clear Sky will eventually deal with them, opening the way for you. What to Look Out For: * Renegade Patrols: Expect ambushes and patrols around the church. They're not shy about engaging. * Cover is Key: Use the environment for cover. The buildings and debris can offer some protection, but don't rely on it solely. Keep moving. * Ammo and Meds: Make sure you're stocked up before you head in. You'll burn through ammo and might take some hits. Once Clear Sky has secured the church, you'll have a much easier time exploring the area and potentially finding any stashes, like the Church woodpile stash located nearby. Just remember to be patient if the Renegades are still in charge – let Clear Sky do their part first.
