X16 laboratory level is very similar to the X18 map.

Just as before, you will be dealing with a fairly small underground level.

You will have to be very careful while exploring X16.

There are some zombie characters in the lab, as well as very dangerous mutants.

Also, check that that you’re using a nightvision or a flashlight.

secure your game each time you’ve cleared out a larger section of the map.

PC

You will have to reach the largest area of the map in the first place.

Thankfully, you won’t have an opportunity to get lost.

Get ready for some action.

PC

:-)

You will have to start off by using the stairs.

Head on to the lowest level.

You will encounter a first group of zombie characters near a small entrance (#1).

PC

Conserve your ammo by shooting at the heads of those monsters.

You should also be on a look out for artifacts and dead bodies.

Loot them for objects of any value.

PC

You should be able to reach an elevator shaft.

The elevator is busted, so start using the nearby ladders (#2).

Once again, you will have to reach the lowest level.

PC

keep your game there.

Be careful and attempt to take them out from a larger distance.

Once those monsters are gone, zombie creatures will advance towards your position.

PlayStation

Those monsters are occupying nearby balconies, especially the one to the right.

Don’t forget to check bodies of fallen enemies and scientists.

You should also take a closer look at some of the side rooms.

Xbox

You will encounter a new mutant here (#2).

Keep heading towards your current destination.

You should consider using some of the carried grenades to kill them.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Don’t forget about the possibility of destroying nearby crates.

You will find ammunition and artifacts.

A second group of mutants is going to attack you very soon (#2).

Try killing them as soon as possible, so the creatures won’t be able to reach your position.

You are getting closer to the main room of this entire complex (#1).

DON’T go there right away.

check that that you have SAVED your current progress here.

Try killing at least 3-4 zombie characters from here (#2).

You should wait for those monsters to show up.

This will make your life a lot easier.

Get ready for the main objective!

Use the ramp to reach the main room.

As you’ve probably noticed, a timer has appear on the screen.

Turn left and start running towards the first console (#1).

Once you’ve reached the console, use the switch to turn it off (#2).

Now you will have to turn right.

Head on to the stairs.

You will have to reach the upper level (#1).

You shouldn’t have any major problems getting closer to the second console (#2).

Once again, use the switch.

Be careful, though.

There’s a fire trap nearby and you won’t be able to avoid.

As a result, consider running through it.

Head on to the upper level.

I’m sure that you know exactly what has to be done here.

Reach the third console and turn it off.

Now you will have to reach the highest level.

Be careful, though.

There’s a zombie here (#2).

Kill it and turn left.

Head on to the main console (#2).

Disable it for end this quest.

Now you will have to wait for a new cut-scene to be displayed on your screen.

You will also receive a new task.

As a result, you will have to focus all of your attention on finding Ghost’s body.

As you’ve probably noticed, more zombies have appeared in the area (#1).

You could fight these creatures, however I would recommend ignoring them.

Head on to an unexplored area of the base (#2).

back up your current progress here!

You should be able to reach a new room very soon.

There’s a new mutant here (#1).

The easiest way to kill it would be to aim at its head from a smaller distance.

You won’t have to explore the surroundings and it would even be dangerous.

Instead, head on to Ghost’s body (#2).

You will have to check it for pick up the documents.

All you have to do is to check Ghost’s body (#1).

You will notice that there are some documents in his inventory.

Drag this object to your inventory.

Once this is done, you will receive a proper confirmation (#2).

You should also consider listening to a radio message.

Ghosts was also carrying a very decent armor, however you should stick close to the SEVA suit.

Take Ghost’s armor only if you plan on selling it in the near future.

Sadly, you will have to return to Cordon later during the game.

For now, focus all of your attention on leaving the laboratory.

Once this is done, head on to Yantar, The Wild Territory and Bar.

Reaching the exit is going to be very simple.

All you have to do is to locate a large hole (#1).

Once you’re lower, you will have to move forward a little (#2).

The game will load a Yantar map here.
