How To Complete Road To The Foundation Quest
You are looking to enter the Foundation, but to do so you need to pay Degtyarev a visit. Head to the Energetik Palace of Culture. As you reach the location, you will learn that the building is under attack by Monolith soldiers. Help the Palace of Culture fend off the attack.
Fight off the Monolith invasion and head upstairs to speak to Colonel Degtyarev. The Colonel will give you two leads on documents related to the Foundation. Retrieve these documents from the Laundromat and the Prometheus movie theatre, and Degtyarev promises you full support in entering the Foundation. The Prometheus is to the east, while the Laundromat is to the southeast. You can approach any of these locations and they play out roughly the same.
Chasing the Leads
The Laundromat and the Prometheus are pretty standard affairs. The Prometheus is a series of linear paths with only one entrance and is easy to navigate. Head upstairs to retrieve the required blueprints, but keep your guard up for anomalies.
Next, head to the Laundromat down south. This area is filled with acid pools and emits radiation. Be sure to stock up on vodka and anti-rads before heading here. Use the staircase to head to the roof. Watch out for the large bubbles as you make your way up. Upstairs, drop down to the ledge below and jump in through the broken window to get access to the floor. Follow the path straight and walk slowly, looking for a hole in the wall on your right. This hole will lead you to the document.

The Ward Squad
Next, you have to head to the Ward Squad’s location marked on the map to obtain the coordinates. However, as you reach here, you are ambushed and have to fight off the soldiers. To make matters worse, you also have to deal with a powerful new mutant with the ability to drag you towards itself. Fight off the ambush by picking off the soldiers and avoiding the mutant. Save the mutant for last and finish him. Loot the bodies to retrieve the coordinates.
With the coordinates in hand, head back to Colonel Degtyarev, and he will reveal two possible entrances to the Foundation: The Polissya Hotel and the Olympiya Cafe. Pick the entrance of your choice to complete the quest and progress the story further.
