The Apocalypse mod for the STALKER game came to the taste of a considerable number of gamers, largely due to the branched and interesting line of quests with obvious difficulty in completing. One of the tasks obliges you to find a swamp doctor and causes certain difficulties even for the experienced inhabitants of the Zone. In reality, the search for this NPC turns out to be much easier and more obvious than it might seem at first glance.
The storyline of the "Apocalypse" add-on is partly based on the chronology of events in the books by V. Orekhov and A. Kalugin. One of the heroes of the mod is the famous and mysterious Swamp Doctor, an assistant to the Shooter and a representative of the class of the Zone Ghosts. In the course of exploring anomalous territories, the main character gets to General Voronin, the leader of the Duty group, who asks to find the Swamp Doctor and get information from him about the Apocalypse group and methods of fighting it.
We are looking for a Doctor at Agroprom
Players familiar with S. T. A. L. K. E. R. The Shadow of Chernobyl know that the Doctor was the Archer's helper and patron. Perhaps this is the only clue on the basis of which one can successfully find a doctor, although some managed to come to him purely by accident. It is characteristic that no information is given about the location of this NPC in the plot.
As you can recall from the events of the original game, the Doctor exchanged information and equipment with the Archer's group through a cache located in the Agroprom dungeons. The entrance to the location is through a sewer well, which is located 400 meters southeast of the base of the "Dolg" grouping, according to the "Shadow of Chernobyl" version, or from a complex of buildings in the southwest of the Agroprom territory.
Going down into the dungeon, the player finds himself in a small corridor that leads to a hall with communications. Moving along the wall to the left of the entrance, you can get into the second corridor, similar to the first, but littered with all kinds of debris. After passing through it, the player will exit into a small collector room, and then into the main tunnel, which he turns in an arc at a slight angle.
Almost at the very end of this tunnel, on the left wall, there is a ventilation shaft with a fan turned out: this is the entrance to the Shooter's cache, where the Swamp Doctor is located. He will talk about the need to unite groups in the face of a new danger.
Eliminating the crash bug
Almost every player has difficulties getting into the "Agroprom Research Institute Dungeons" location. When moving to a new location, the game crashes with a critical error. This is a defect of the mod developers, and it is quite easy to fix it. You need to open the directory with the game and follow the path gamedata / textures / wpn. The last folder contains the file "SUSAT-AMK-N.dds", which must be renamed to "SUSAT-AMK-T.dds"
Search bonuses
The player's efforts in finding the Swamp Doctor will be rewarded in the best possible way. In the stash of the shooter there is a cache, which is hidden in the floor, opposite the wall with the radiators. It can take several minutes to find the cache, but the result will meet all expectations.
