Embark on a scientific side quest in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl! This guide details how to initiate and complete the "For Science!" mission, unlocking access to the STC Malachite facility.
Initiating "For Science!"
The "For Science!" quest begins in the Chemical Plant's Central Elevator area. Locate Yaryk Mongoose; he'll contact Skif via radio. Head left from the elevator, ascend the rusty stairs, and vault the railing to reach him. Mongoose will explain the need to activate a second measuring device atop a nearby silo, initiating the quest upon acceptance.
Reaching the Silo's Peak
Climb to the building's roof, dispatching any rodents encountered. Exit through a broken window, descend the external ladder, and traverse the walkways to the silo. Equip a bolt-action weapon to counter electro anomalies. Proceed to the device and activate it. Be prepared for a Bloodsucker ambush; eliminate them or evade them to return to Mongoose.
Confronting Mongoose
Return to Mongoose; he'll explain the experiment's unforeseen consequences. You can choose to kill Mongoose or accept his reward. Neither choice impacts the game significantly. A peaceful resolution yields the Malachite Pass and additional rewards, granting access to the STC Malachite base (unless already accessible via main missions).
