The Mysterious Case: Stalker 2 Quest Walkthrough

While completing the story quest In Search of a Guide, where players will learn about several factions in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you will unlock a new location — Skadovsk. It is here that gamers can start the side mission. Below, we will explain how to reach the freighter, find Sultan's case, and successfully deal with the bandits.

Head to Skadovsk and talk to a woman nicknamed Sonya Kalina at the bar counter. After receiving the task, follow the marker on the map and find the bandit nicknamed Sultan.

First, you need to reach the freighter located at the fleet on the river, marked with a blue marker on the map. The journey to this place is quite long, and you probably haven't explored the area near the fleet yet, so fast travel, for which we have also prepared a separate guide, will be very useful.

Upon reaching the area near the ship, be prepared for an attack by several dogs. After dealing with them, continue to the end of the pier. Using the red container above the river, you can cross over to the ship.

Now climb the ladder on the left, reach the upper platform, and open the hatch with the red valve. This will allow you to get inside the freighter.

In the room on the left, you will find the red case belonging to the Sultan. To the right of it is the Loza detector — a new generation of entry-level detectors. This detector allows you to find artifacts at a greater distance compared to its predecessors. Take the items, go to the end of the corridor, and use the button next to the exit door.

At the exit, you will be met by three bandits who were also trying to get the found case. Naturally, the hero is not going to give it up, so you will have to deal with them. After eliminating the threat, return to the Sultan. For completing the quest, you will receive 2969 coupons.
