Talk missions: Vitaliy's questline and the Шапочка из фольги
Some missions are not mailed to you. A character gives them when you talk to them in person. The only Talk questline with English text is Vitaliy's, in the Burning Grove. It ends with a way to craft the Шапочка из фольги.
The short version
- Talk to Vitaliy to start. He lies unconscious in the Burning Grove, which the mission R&D отдел (Частный канал): Межпространственные колебания unlocks.
- You hand items to him. Each request takes the listed items from you when you submit it. Item rewards wait with the character until you take them.
- Eight requests follow each other. The next one starts as soon as you finish the previous one, and you carry on by talking to Vitaliy again.
- Stabilizing Powder is the main cost. You hand over 16 packs across three requests.
- The last request teaches the Шапочка из фольги. Research it, then craft the hat from one Оловянная фольга.
How Talk missions work
- Stand close to the character (within 9 game units) and talk. The mission is added to your list when the conversation reaches the point where the character asks for something.
- Items a request needs are handed over in the conversation window. Extra items you put there are given back.
- Money and follow-up missions arrive at once. Item rewards are taken from the character's reward list.
- A character with nothing for you says a random line from a short list. Traders also offer their shop.
Vitaliy's requests in order
| Step | Mission | You hand over | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Пробуждение лекарством | 1 Стабилизирующий порошок | The next request |
| 2 | Виталий: всё сначала | 1 Оптический микроскоп, 5 Биомасса | The next request |
| 3 | Виталий: повторное пробуждение | 5 Stabilizing Powder | The next request |
| 4 | Виталий: ремонт оборудования | 1 Запечатанное исследовательское оборудование, a package that lies near the train station in the Burning Grove (show on the map) | A Ключ от запертых дверей before you start, then the next request |
| 5 | Виталий: Не спать | 10 Stabilizing Powder | Both sample requests |
| 6a | Виталий: Образцы грибка | 1 Споровый мешок, 1 Споровая камера, 1 Грибной шип | Nothing directly |
| 6b | Виталий: Образцы животных | 1 Череп горца, 1 Волосы, 10 Заражённая человеческая ткань, 5 Клык зверя-мутанта | Nothing directly |
| 7 | Виталий: Шапка | Nothing | Инструкция по складыванию шапочки из фольги |
Steps 6a and 6b can be done in either order. Step 7 starts once both are finished.
Getting the Шапочка из фольги
- Finish Виталий: Шапка to receive the instructions.
- Move the instructions to a research table; a research project for the hat then appears. Install the instructions on the table, which uses them up, then finish the project with 1 Оловянная фольга, which is also used up, to unlock the hat recipe.
- Craft the Шапочка из фольги at a Простой верстак from 1 Оловянная фольга.
