This is a very unusual place.
X18 laboratory is a small underground map, very similiar to Agroprom Sewers level.
I will also do my best to explain which places you should probably visit.
You won’t spend too much time here, however you must be very careful.
You will encounter a few very dangerous mutants.
Thankfully, there are also some interesting objects to be found, including better armors and precious artifacts.
The map has been divided into three zones.
You will have to acquire a combination for the lock to make it reach the next zone.
This is connected to the boss character of this location.
You shouldn’t receive any major damage from this, so you may as well ignore these attacks.
Otherwise you would have to keep moving and not in a straight line.
You will come across a steel door, however you may ignore it for the time being.
Instead, focus all of your attention on exploring the surrounding rooms.
You must have a machine gun ready, because the area is not safe.
Be on a look out for artifacts.
There’s a small corridor to your right.
You must be EXTREMELY careful there.
This area is being guarded by TWO mutants (#1).
I’d strongly recommend that you take them out from a larger distance.
Try aiming at their heads.
You won’t have to explore this tunnel from here.
The most important thing is that the mutants are dead.
I’d strongly recommend that you check all of the surrounding rooms.
Once of them is going to be filled with a lot of cabinets (#1).
ensure that you’ve opened all cabinets.
You will find a lot of grenades and med-kits.
There’s also a gun with a grenade launcher.
Dismount it, so you’ll be able to use it with your weapon.
You will also come across a Monolith Suit (#2).
Don’t be fooled by a lower price.
This is a much better armor, so exchange it for your Stalker Suit.
That’s where the mutants have appeared, however this time we’re moving from a different direction.
You will have to turn right at some point.
You will come across a room filled with fire traps (#2).
I would recommend exploring it, because you will find a few precious artifacts here.
Also, check the body for additional supplies.
You may proceed to the next section.
You should be able to locate a room with a dead scientist (#1).
I would recommend that you store your game here.
Don’t worry about other objects which will be flying towards your character.
Focus all of your attention on avoiding dangerous anomalies, especially since some of them will be moving.
You should be able to locate a room with a lot of interesting artifacts (#1).
After that, use the nearby stairs to go down to a lower level (#2).
The mutant should be standing at the other end of this large room.
You could try and kill it with your machine gun.
There’s a simple way to kill it, though.
Be on a look out for a locket launcher.
You will find it on your left.
Pick up the rocket launcher and use it to get rid of the monster.
Once this is done, check the body of a scientist for acquire the code.
You may also check the rest of the room.
You should be able to find a few interesting things here (#2).
That’s where the boss creature is hiding.
Use the stairs (#1).
You will find the documents on your right (#2).
It’s going to be a very easy fight, however you must remember about a few important things.
The boss is a small and partially invisible creature.
Once you hit it, you should notice a blood appearing on nearby walls and floors.
Ignore the main room, because you would have to deal with a lot of flame traps.
Once you’ve killed this creature, an interesting cut-scene will appear on the screen (#2).
Now you will have to exit the lab.
Additionally, enemy soldiers will arrive here.
Remember that you aren’t rushed by anything, so take your time.
You should be able to find a large stash nearby (#1).
There are some medicines here.
You will have to reach the exit from the lab (#2).
This will allow you to return to The Dark Valley sector.
You shouldn’t have any problems finding the door.
It’s in the biggest room of this part of the complex.
double-check that you have checked the body.
Now you may go back to the main room of the complex.
There’s a small panel on your left (#2).
pop in in the code so that bring up the door.
secure your game here.
Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about it.
If you want to know how to reach him, read the description of the first quest.
The scientist will also have a decent machine gun on him - IL 86.
