Helping Kolya Kolbaskin to deal with another mystery of the Zone, the legend of the famous stalker Zryach, the player will find a dead digger with a strange note. Returning for explanations to Kolya, the latter will say that he can not understand the meaning of what is written; the message is encrypted. However, there is information about an interesting meeting place, and perhaps this can be the key to unraveling the strange legend. The player will have to find the digger’s informant and try to find out the details before Kolya moves the quest plot forward.

Where to Find the Decoder for the Bandits
Depending on the player’s faction, some quests change. “Decoder” is one of them. Unlike stalkers, bandits will have to go to a completely different location.
So, after the successful discovery of the corpse digger and his note, you will need to talk to Kolya. He will tell about the informant and give the search area. In fact, the necessary NPC is not so difficult to find.
You will have to talk to a bandit. He is hidden in a small village. The target is a dilapidated house, near which there is a truck in the yard. There is no gate here; the passage remains free.
After getting into the house from the side of the open doorway, it is enough to go a little forward and bump into the wall. The bandit is on the second floor. You may not be able to jump in the first time; you should make a few attempts.
Once in the attic, you can immediately see the informant. You must start the dialog and return to Kolya to continue the quest.
To quickly return to the Bar, you can use the command to kill your character. Or go to the nearest mutant lair. This will speed up the fulfillment of the quest by teleporting to the base.
Where to Find the Decoder for Stalkers
The desired informant sits on the roof. Around, there are several lying mutants, so you will have to go deeper into the settlement carefully without hitting the anomalies — the area is entirely made up of enemies – bandits, flesh, and other spawns of the Zone. Passing by without a fight is unlikely to work, but before the campaign, it is worth taking a shotgun and an accurate machine gun.
Go to the dump. The landmark is a white building with a ladder on the backside. Climbing to its roof, you can see the desired stalker on the roof of the neighboring brick building. Therefore, it is better to go straight to the address.
The informant is sitting upstairs; all that’s left is to climb the stairs. You may not notice him immediately after climbing up, but he is located on the left side of the roof, at the very edge, so you can’t pass him by.
Here is the NPC you are looking for. Talking to him will direct the player back to Kolya.
Conclusion
With the help of this guide, it is much easier to find the decoder and continue the quest. However, there may be difficulties in finding the guide after that, as his locations also differ between factions. This time, the distance between the endpoints will be even more significant, depending on the chosen faction. You will have to go to the very rear of the enemy territory.
With the help of this guide, any player in Stalcraft will be able to save a lot of time on the search. Completing this quest in Stalcraft will give you the Abakan of the Sighted – not a bad weapon for the beginning and middle of the game.
