The hologram answers some of Strelok's questions, such as the purpose of the Death trucks and C-Consciousness' ulterior motive. A hologram appears in place of the destroyed Monolith, a worker of the Common Consciousness experiment. After defeating more of Monolith's elite agents, he destroys the generators which powered the Monolith, thereby destroying it. Ignoring repeated, tempestuous calls from the Wish Granter, he finds a strange, code-locked door that he is able to open with Fang's special Decoder (it has been speculated that this apparently must be the same door that Strelok's group failed to unlock previously). Whilst in the Sarcophagus, Strelok faces off with Monolith's most elite troops, and with considerable effort in the heavily irradiated areas, manages to neutralize them. With the aid of a few expert Stalkers, Strelok fights his way to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, fortified by fanatical and dedicated veteran and elite Monolith troops and under attack by Spetsnaz, agents accompanied by APCs and Hind Gunships.Īgainst all odds, Strelok fights through the hordes of Monolith soldiers, with the Military nipping at his heels, and manages to enter Reactor #4 in spite of the impending Fourth Emission. Now, with Strelok remembering the most important information, he proceeds north to the Brain Scorcher, where he manages to overcome numerous Monolith troops to deactivate the Brain Scorcher and then makes his way to Pripyat, where he finds Fang's grave and the decoder that Fang hid in an abandoned hotel. Doc also informs him that he is actually the stalker called Strelok, his earlier intended target. When he awakes, the Marked One sees Doc, who tells him that the Monolith is just a lie - it was made in a laboratory inside the Sarcophagus - and of a decoder that Fang assembled, hidden in a hotel room in Pripyat. After making his way there, the Marked One trips an explosive trip mine which knocks him unconscious. Upon finding Guide, Guide tells him about Doc, who was in the group's hideout in the Agroprom underground. When Strelok manages to escape Lab X16 with the documents from Ghost, he learns of Guide, a member of his group. He finally finds Ghost's corpse in the laboratory X16 after disabling the troublesome Kaymanov emitter and killing the Controller responsible for his demise. The Marked One follows the information from contact to contact, tracing Strelok's past movements and learning more about his supposed assassination target the more he learns about him, the more he recovers scattered memories.Īfter assisting Professor Sakharov in his research of the Yantar area, the Marked One is able to secure a fully functional Psy-protection device that will shield him from the damaging effects of the Kaymanov emitter in Lab X-19 and, later, the Brain Scorcher. With no other choice, the Marked One, unaware of his true identity, begins to search for Strelok within the Zone. tattoo, is only left with a PDA entry reading "Kill Strelok". With little memory left, Strelok, dubbed as the Marked One as a reference to his S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Having survived the crash of a Death truck, Strelok was rescued by an anonymous stalker and Sidorovich. Strelok is the main protagonist of the game. Strelok was critically wounded in the process and put in the care of Doctor by his two friends. Furious, it unleashed a massive emission in an attempt to kill them. ĭuring their retreat, the Common Consciousness became aware of their presence virtually on its doorstep. This first raid to the center of the Zone was unsuccessful - while Ghost, Fang, and Strelok infiltrated the Sarcophagus, they were stopped from reaching the Monolith Control Center by a code-locked door. Realizing that this would allow him to bypass the Brain Scorcher and reach the power plant, he gathered his men and set out. He began accumulating experience early on, as he was one of the first stalkers, people to enter the Zone and bring back artifacts.ĭuring one of his excursions, he found maps of the underground city under Pripyat. One of the most experienced and capable stalkers in the Zone, Strelok and his associates are some of the few people that managed to reach the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and live to tell the tale. Стрелок (Strelok) in Russian literally translates to "Rifleman" or "Shooter". Giving a general description rather than a name for the player's character is fairly common in video games as it allows the player to substitute the title with any name that they wish. Меченый (Mechenyj) as it is written in Russian, roughly translates to "The Marked One".
