How to enter STC Malachite building ?

[KuB]

Hi

Just finished the Duga mission and I'm being sent to STC Malachite for the mission "A minor incident"

I just arrived at the location, which end the sub-quest "Get to STC Malachite"

Now: "Talk to Prof. Ozersky"

Great.

I'm now in my 30th minutes of running around the building, trying every existing door, playing the acrobat on pipes 10m above the ground EVERYWHERE

=> I can't enter the d@mn building.

I can enter a room with a guide in it, and another empty room.

I'm missing something ?

A pass most likely

You need a pass to enter Malachite. Found mine mostly on dead bodies but you can do a quest for some scientist at the Central Elevator (south of Rostok). He will give you one if you complete his sidequest.

Dont need a pass, You can pay with a one time coupons cost too if you want to access it earlier then the story mission

In my experience, the room with the guide will initially have two people in it. One of them will challenge you, and you can show your Malachite Pass (get from side quest at Central Elevator if nowhere else), you can show your Ward Badge if you have one, or you can pay some cash.

If the second guard isn't there in the room with the guide, are you sure that the inside door is locked? IIRC the second guard wanders off once you have done what is necessary to unlock the inside door.

You don't need a pass or coupons. Just tell him you survived the battle at Duga and he will be impressed and let you in.

[Nakanaki]

you can also find passes on dead bodies in Garbage i think

There are at least 3 places you can get passes. In addition to the bodies at the garbage (labrynth at night anytime after have completed Varan's main quest part), and the elevator at chemical plant that were already mentioned, there is also a random guy you can save near the eastern road leading from Rostok to where Malachite and Red Forest meet.

Those are 3 different pass locations, before we even get to bribing your way in or using the badge.

I spoke to everyone.
Nobody asked me for a pass, a badge or money.
And yes, ALL doors are locked.

Go up the small stairs (4-5 steps tall maybe) that lead into a small room, there is 1 guide and 1 guard. It's on the north-eastern side of the building.

OK so...

If you watch this:
https://youtu.be/maACILAzgVs

Around 1min25, the player is stopped by a guard.
It seems, looking at the dialogue you can wave your badge, bribe them etc.


I'd looooove to do any of these...

If only the guard was here...
Nobody's here.
Looks like a bug...


That's the 3rd time I'm blocked in a quest because of missing NPC or game triggers not triggering.

The 2 first were about side quests.
So not that important, irritating at best.

But this...

Im on my second COMPLETE playthrough,playing the Ward Side .
Im at the sameSituation u have,i have 3 passes,thats not the Problem,the Problem is that the outer doors to accsess the Guy u can show it are locked tight.

The Solution is using a Stalker Guide that brings you to Malachite.

If you have the UNreal Console installed u can use

UETools_Ghost and
UETools_Walk

du go through the Door
