Unlocking the Secret of Stalker 2's Brain Scorcher

The Brain Scorcher, a landmark location in the Stalker universe, also features in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Within its vicinity lies a seemingly impenetrable Tamper-Proof Stash, secured within a locked warehouse. However, a clever workaround exists, bypassing the need for a key. This guide details how to access the stash via an alternative route.

Accessing the Brain Scorcher Warehouse

Locate the Brain Scorcher in the northern Malachite region. The Tamper-Proof Stash, marked on your map, will lead you to the warehouse with the locked door. While the main door is inaccessible, a back entrance provides access.

Follow these steps:

1. Circumvent the warehouse to the left, ascending the orange stairs to a stack of boxes.
2. Utilize the boxes to leap over the containers to your right, progressing to the next set of containers.
3. From this position, jump over the crane on your right, continuing past it to the end.
4. Descend onto the containers below, navigating a zigzag path until you discover a rear warehouse opening.

Navigating the Warehouse and Retrieving the Stash

Inside, be cautious of trip mines obstructing the path to the Tamper-Proof Stash. Carefully disarm these before proceeding to the front of the warehouse.

The Stash itself, a large safe, is already unlocked. Loot the valuable resources (ammo, medkits, etc.) within.

Exiting the Warehouse

To unlock the main warehouse door, proceed right from the power panel, moving further down the warehouse. You'll find a generator amidst some boxes; activate it to restore power. Returning to the power panel near the entrance, flip the switch to open the door and exit.
