In the ‘Just Like the Good Old Days’ main story mission in STALKER 2, you need to talk to Prof. Lodochka and find the source of a signal of the Monolith.
The Just Like the Good Old Days is a main story mission in STALKER 2. Completing this mission requires some effort as it is quite long. In Just Like the Good Old Days mission, you need to fight off some foes to rescue Prof. Lodochka and venture into the shelter to locate the source of a signal.
The mission takes place in Wild Island. The mission will be tagged along after completing the ‘To the Last Drop of Blood’/’Law and Order’ story mission. Let’s get into the walkthrough of the Just Like the Good Old Days story mission in STALKER 2 and how to complete it.
Starting the Just Like the Good Old Days Misson
After escaping the SIRCAA, you will be asked to talk to Prof. Lodochka, imprisoned by mercenaries at the Quiet’s Camp. Upon reaching the camp, you need to defeat the mercs. You don’t need to waste your time locating the mercs and the professor, as you can find all of them on the first floor.
Put up a fight with the mercenaries in the hallway and neutralize them. Then, interact with Prof. Lodochka to learn about Noontide. After the conversation, you will be asked to locate the signal source of the Monolith inside the shelter.
How To Find the Source of the Signal: Just Like the Good Old Days Mission
Head to the marked location at the north near the river. There you will find a mining cave with an opening. Enter the cave and follow the way until you reach the rail tracks. Take right and then go through the path. Squeeze yourself through the openings to enter the next area.
You will find some anomalies on your way, so get past them carefully. Use the pipes to climb to the top of the surface. Take right and follow the way until you reach a room with several machines. You will find the Emitter right in front, upon entering the room. You will be affected by the psi-damage as long as you stay in the room. Picking up the Emitter ends the ‘Just Like the Good Old Days’ mission and starts the next one ‘An Invisible Threat’.
How To Restore Power and Activate the Ventilation System (Optional)
After interacting with Prof. Lodochka at the camp, you will also be provided with another task along with finding the source of the signal. You need to restore the power in the engineering room and activate the ventilation system. This one is an optional task and it is not mandatory to complete.
Find the Fuse
In order to restore the power, you have to get the fuse first. Luckily, it can be located beneath the professor’s floor. Head downstairs and get to the last room on your left. There you will find the Fuse placed on top of several wooden crates.
Get to Engineering Rooms
Now, head north to the Shelter. Enter the shelter and head downstairs. Turn right, where you will encounter a Bloodsucker. Defeat the Bloodsucker and enter the cage on your left to reach the area with two large pipes. Climb the pipe and jump to the other pipe to reach the other side.
Continue along the way to find the circuit breaker. Interact with the circuit breaker to install the fuse. This restores the power and activates the ventilation system. Now, head to Prof. Lodochka and have a conversation to complete the optional mission.
