Unlocking the Brain Scorcher's Secret in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

The Brain Scorcher, a landmark location in the Stalker universe, presents a challenge in Stalker 2. A tamper-proof stash, hidden within a seemingly inaccessible warehouse, awaits. Forget the key; this requires a bit of parkour.

Locating the Warehouse

Find the Brain Scorcher in the northern Malachite region. The stash's location is marked on your map, leading you to a warehouse with a locked door. However, this isn't the intended entry point.

Accessing the Warehouse

Follow these steps to bypass the locked door:

1. Circle the warehouse to the left, ascending the orange stairs to reach stacked boxes.
2. Utilize the boxes to leap over the containers to the right, progressing to the next set.
3. A daring jump over the crane to your right is necessary. Continue past it to the end.
4. Descend onto the containers below and navigate a zigzag path to an opening at the rear of the warehouse.

Navigating the Interior

Inside, be cautious of trip mines guarding the stash. Carefully disarm them before approaching the front.

Claiming the Spoils and Exiting

The tamper-proof stash, a large, already unlocked safe, awaits. Gather the valuable loot (ammo, medkits, etc.). To exit:

1. Locate the generator near the back, amongst some boxes. Activate it to restore power.
2. Return to the power panel near the entrance and flip the switch. The locked door will now open.
