Traped in City-32/Dead City Thread - Old Good STALKER Evolution mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

I'am traped in this building in city-32:

There's load music and a poltergeist. It doesn't matter where i try to leave the building (door/windows/roof) evertime a teleport brings me back. There's also a safe with a note and i find three books in the building. I don't know what to do with the books. The note say something about to take a book in the safe but nothing happens. Maybe someone can help me. :-)

Kill the poltergeist. Look for 5 books inside that building. Put the five books inside the container.

Thanks for your help. After killing the poltergeist and an hour of searching, i found only four books and the note. Maybe its a bug, maybe the poltergeist thrown one away or i'am just to stupid.

Have you tried looking in a room? (2nd floor) under a messed up bed? I think there are two in the toilets, 1 should be in the room where Minor is in. (the guy with the password you're supposed to save). 1 is in a cupboard.

Two books are in the toilet.

Thanks @RiskBreaker237 & @piotrburz

I found the 5th book in the toilet(tank). :-)

Ah thanks for the toilet tank location, that one was eluding me. Ok so now I have the messenger following me, where am I supposed to take him? I've led him to the bar in dead city figuring that was a "safe area" but he has no new dialog, led him to Yantar scientist bunker, nada, now were chillin at 100 rads and still no new dialog. Where does this dude feel safe enough to tell me his part of the code?

@dazshaggen, you don't have to led him to other maps... in Dead City, go near the transition to Army Warehouses, as you approach the transition, usually near the concrete bridge, the task would get updated, and then you can talk to him..

Great thanks, Guess I went to the wrong transition.

Hmm...

this "Messenger" appear after i put the 5th book in the safe, right?

What if not? This questline is dead for me?

@Deusex72, no... the messenger should be already there before you even got to the building. The messenger should also be waiting for you at the second floor. Check for green marker in your map. Sometimes this guy panics and runs outside of the building because of a Poltergeist inside.

@RiskBreaker237

I checked a old savegame before i go into this building. There is no one in the building and no one outside nearby. (checked minimap & bioradar)

And he's definitive not in the building, because i should see him during searching for the five books. Well, shit happens. :-(

The Messenger will appear only as a result of the quest beginning on Radar when you get the message from Well Wisher - this is one of the extensions of the main (vanilla) storyline.

I was on radar only for a quick visit to the helicopter (freedom-quest). Did i became the messenger-message, when i go nearer to the antennas? :-)

Open task list in your PDA and look for the quest "Well Wisher". I hope you have psi-helmet in its inventory cell near your armour.

@Deusex72

Ok, my bad, I thought your task is already to meet the messenger in Dead City.

In addition to what SimplyYuri said, if you follow the instructions of this Well Wisher, i.e. acquiring the briefcase, etc.., it will then eventually lead you to a task to get the 2nd password from the messenger guy.

Edited by: RiskBreaker237

Yes, i have the psi-helmet. Here is what i found in my PDA:

Active-Tasks:
Wisher: Find the missing piece of code
Complete-Tasks:
Well-wisher: Take the case
Well-wisher: Briefcase code
Well-wisher: The second part of the code
Failed-Tasks:
Well-wisher: Save the messenger

Well well, so you've lost the Messenger, allowing him to be killed. You were suggested the alternate course of actions. Such the alternative issues to the player if the Messenger is dead.

Edited by: SimplyYuri

Thanks for your answer, but what is the alternate course? "...the house where i originally found minor." Is this the next step? Sorry, no idea where this house is. :-(

Edit: found the note in AW. :-)

Edited by: Deusex72

Initially you had to meet him in a lodge at a little village, where there was Skull. Look for the note there.

I see that the translation has low-to-medium quality with semantic errors. The good news is that our translator (he translated 0692) appeared recently and promised to cardinally edit the translated text, but it will take a long time, because he is chief engineer on a merchant vessel.

I've BEEN ALL OVER THIS PLACE ABOUT 100 TIMES, I have only found 4 books, this is becoming very frustrating ! I would really like to move on with the mod! I have read the replies Deusex 72 and have searched all these rooms with no luck. Help!

Is there a map of where they are ? Maybe some specific spots to look?

Thanks

Here the locations of the five books:

Thanks for your help got it this time!

I've 'freed' Minor with the books in the safe, but now I can't seem to leave the level at all. Once I move a certain distance from the city I get warped back into the city. I can't read my PDA or use NV because of the psy field...very confused on what to do. I've taken "dry runs" thru the city just trying to find a clue but all I find are more zombies

I am using patch 2.10 but not the newest revised version; is it a bug?

@Pepe_Silvia

Is it night time when this happened? like 21:00 onward?

As far as i can remember...this "trapped in the city with swarms of zombies" will happen until you finished the quest that relates to "The Master" in Dead City/City-32, so before your time reaches 21:00, you should have already taken shelter to the stalker's base there up north and wait/sleep until morning.
