The "night star" is a product of the "springboard" anomaly and is quite rare in the Zone. For this artifact of the third level, you can earn good money, but it is better to use it for your own purposes. To find such a miracle in the game STALKER "Shadows of Chernobyl", you need to have information about its preliminary location.
For stalkers, the "night star" is almost a legendary artifact. Although small arms in the Zone are not the biggest danger, the artifact provides good protection from bullets during combat. The bullet resistance of the artifact has a negative compensation: the "Star" is noticeably phonit, and therefore it is at least unreasonable to use it without the presence of artifacts from the "fry" on the belt.
"Night Star" - reward for the quest to find the traitor
The player can get the first "Night Star" when visiting the location "Bar" by taking the quest from the stalker with the nickname Bald. This is a guy in a standard stalker suit with AKSU on his back, telling a heartbreaking story about an unsuccessful trip to the Radar with his friends.
Bald will also tell how he participated in a sortie for artifacts, but, despite the accompanying luck, he was deceived by one of the group members, who took away the whole swag at night and then sold it to the Bartender. The purpose of the quest is to find and eliminate the traitor who is constantly on the territory of the army warehouses in the camp of loners. In order not to spoil your reputation, you can roll up any explosive object (red barrel or gas cylinder) to the victim, and then blow it up. The reward for the quest will be the same artifact "Night Star".
Artifacts at the Research Institute Agroprom
As mentioned, "Nightstar" appears in Trampoline Anomalies, but not all. The most fertile is the accumulation of anomalies on the southern outskirts of the Research Institute Agroprom, where the old dilapidated gates are located. In this place you can find two artifacts, but very often they appear behind the fence, where there is a dense accumulation of anomalous formations and a strong background radiation. In principle, having the equipment of an ecologist, it is possible, without any special losses, not only to collect two "Night Stars" on the contaminated territory, but also to get hold of "Meduza" and two or three "Stone Flowers".
Pripyat - Klondike of artifacts
It was not in vain that the stalkers believed that in the inaccessible Pripyat there is a whole field of artifacts, rare and very expensive ones. Indeed, upon the first arrival in Pripyat, the player is faced with the notorious "klondike": artifacts are common and dense, you do not need to go into anomalous zones and hot spots after them. On the territory of Pripyat, the player can find four "Night Stars".
One artifact is located right next to the religious totem, which the Monolith adherents pray to. There is no need to rush to destroy them: over time, the player will receive the corresponding quest to clean up, as a result of which two goals can be achieved at once.
Several more artifacts will be waiting for the protagonist on the approaches to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The two Night Stars can be found among the anomalies in the garages on the southern edge of the stadium. Another artifact is located on the north side of the running track in the stadium itself. For the passage to the garages, you will need serious armor, since gravitational anomalies are densely accumulated there. At the stadium, there is always a wandering herd of snorks, which means that a shotgun with cartridges of the "zhecan" type does not fit.
