All Business With Owl: Stalker 2 Quest Walkthrough
Owl is the second trader in the Skadovsk location in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, besides Sonia Kalina. He always has several quests for Skif, ranging from simple to quite challenging. Here's how to complete all the quests for this character.
Kill the Visitors from Garbage
Go up to the second floor of the shelter and talk to the trader who is in the room on the right, behind the counter. One of the first and easiest quests you can get from the trader is to eliminate several stalkers. Head to the point marked on the map, located near the Icarus base.
Upon arrival, your compass will show many blue markers. Each of them is an enemy that needs to be eliminated. We recommend not going down the hill and using long-range weapons, as there are no covers near the hill where you could reload.
Another advantage of this strategy is the limited capabilities of the NPCs: they won't be able to throw a grenade at the character. Once you deal with all the bandits, return to Owl to talk and receive 1200 coupons for the completed task.
Shoot the mutants
It is easiest to complete a series of quests from the trader in the Skadovsk location in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl after completing the side quest Three Captains, during which you need to eliminate two stalkers.
Go up to the second floor of the destroyed ship and talk to Owl to select the appropriate option and accept this quest.
The path to the place where the mutants live is almost a kilometer long, and although it lies within Zaton, you may encounter both bandits and several bloodsuckers along the way. In the case of bloodsuckers, it's unlikely you'll be able to escape, so we recommend stocking up on medicines from the traders in advance.
70 meters from the marked point, you'll come across a swamp, and this section may pose difficulties. To safely reach the desired location, simply go around the shore on the right side, following the dry areas.
When you approach the marker, more than 15 tushkanos will appear near you. To fight them, use either grenades or rapid-fire weapons, such as an assault rifle.
After you deal with the mutants, a green glow will appear a hundred meters from the swamp. Approaching too closely is dangerous, as you'll receive a dose of psi-radiation. Returning to Owl, you'll receive 800 coupons.
Eliminate the cocky bandits
After completing the first quests from the trader nicknamed Owl in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you'll need to wait a few in-game days before new quests become available.
Talk to the trader on the second floor of the shelter and select the appropriate option to activate this mission.
How to eliminate the bandits
Head to the new marker on the map, in the Hydrodynamics Laboratory location. The path to this place goes through Opachichi, where you will encounter mutants. Ignore their attacks and keep moving forward — they will soon fall behind.
When you reach the destination, you will be met by a group of ten armed stalkers. They won't hesitate to attack, so it's better to act first before they notice the hero. Since the artificial intelligence of most NPCs is not very advanced, tricking them in this situation is much easier than it might seem.
After you eliminate all the targets, head back to Skadovsk to talk to the quest giver and receive 1200 coupons.
