In ‘The Lost Boys’ quest in Stalker 2, Dew is looking to kill the Ninth, and it is up to you to decide who you will help.
The world of Stalker 2 is rife with radiation, monsters, and conflicts and soaked in deep shades of grey. Monsters roam these lands, some human and some mutated, both capable of horrific acts, with only their appearance distinguishing the two. You never know who’s the wolf in sheep’s clothing, and this is best represented in the game’s ‘The Lost Boys’ quest. The quest presents you with two equally viable sides of a tragic story from the Ninth and Dew. The quest then presents you with the dilemma: should you help the Ninth or Dew?
In this guide, we will go over the ‘The Lost Boys’ quest in Stalker 2 and help you decide who to help, the Ninth or Dew.

The Lost Boys Quest
You begin the ‘The Lost Boys’ quest in Stalker 2 by interacting with Lens near the Zalissya Bar. Talk to him, and he will inform you that Mastiff’s boys have gone missing, and he needs your help to find them. He will give you the coordinates of their last-known location, kicking off ‘The Lost Boys’ quest.
Find the Missing Boys
Head to the boys’ last-known coordinates, and you will find a bunker. Enter the bunker and traverse through its halls. Corpses decorate these halls, a few of which are of Mastiff’s boys. Head deeper into the bunker, past the mutated rats and electric traps, to find a survivor. Help the survivor, and he will reveal himself to be Max Saturday. Max will inform you that a Monolithian had killed everyone, captured Mastiff, and took him to the ‘cursed apartment building.’ He then asks you to rescue Mastiff.
Head to the ‘cursed’ building, and you will find Mastiff bandaged up and resting on a bed. Head to the upper floor, and you will find the Monolithian, the Ninth. Confront the Ninth, and he will tell you that he rescued Mastiff and tended to his wounds.
Once you exit the building, Dew shows up with his crew, looking to torch the building and the Monolithian inside. You are then presented with the choice to help Dew or the Ninth.
Who Should You Help?
If you help Dew and his crew, the mob will kill the Ninth, and you will be rewarded with 1,000 coupons. If you side with the Ninth, you will have to defend the Ninth from the entire mob. This can be a tough task, and you will be rewarded only 500 coupons for doing so, in addition to an upgrade blueprint. Helping the Ninth is also significantly harder as you have an entire mob to fend off.
We recommend helping the Ninth for purely moral reasons, as it is the right thing to do. He went out of his way to help Mastiff and tended to his wounds. Turning on him and killing him would be unjust.
