Artyom and Miller travel into the ruins of Novosibirsk, the Dead City, to find an experimental medicine for Anna. Artyom navigates flooded tunnels, radiation-choked streets, and an institute overrun by mutated horrors. You must manage heavy environmental radiation, conserve your resources, and push through to the research institute to secure the cure.

Tips

  • You can completely avoid fighting the Blind Ones by crouching, moving slowly, and throwing tin cans to distract them.
  • Craft as many gas mask filters and medkits as you can early on, as the ambient radiation in Novosibirsk depletes your health and filter time rapidly.
  • Do not sprint or step on broken glass inside the research institute, as the noise immediately gives away your position to the Blind Ones.
  • Conserve your Tikhar's incendiary ball ammunition for the Blind Ones in case you are forced into combat.
