Detailed in lore vids that are in depth is what English speaking Stalker community needs, great vids keep it up man!

I think stash descriptions have to be one of my favorite parts of the games for me despite being such a relatively small part of it, they add so much to the atmosphere of the zone being bigger than you are, including its history. Whenever I think about stash descriptions my mind immediately jumps to "goodies of the leader of the former faction" (the one mentioned at 11:50) because it implies so much about something that you don't learn about anywhere else; that there was a former faction big enough to raid the northern parts of the dangerous zone, that is if they weren't already related to Monolith. That's why I love the descriptions so much, it's the cherry on top when it comes to worldbuilding and reminding the player that they aren't the center of the world (or center of the zone rather lol) by providing a richness to the zones history that isn't included in dialogue anywhere else. also, amazing vids, keep it up!

Real stalkers make stashes as well. Exclusion zone has a lot of interesting places, but they are really spaced out(30km² isn't small area), so they prefer travel light.

13:40 As far as I remember, in Clear Sky, when you captured the Duty base for the Freedom faction and then lost it, the report where this is mentioned says that Duty flew there in some helicopters. So it's possible that it's also a helicopter of Duty itself, but the military version is more likely.

once upon a time my own stash had 500 bottles of vodka in it. i couldn't possibly have carried those around.

The idea of buying access to a safehouse is a pretty good idea. A “stash” from a trader happens to be access to a secured door in a very dangerous area to restock supplies or recover from a hazard.

There was this one stash in clear sky I believe, and it said "Once I gather enough money for my sons medication, I'm getting out of here" or something like that, I saw it a little while ago and I'm not that cruel, I couldn't loot it.

After finishing the side missions in Call of Pripyat, having items being regularly delivered to my stashes makes me less concerned about food, ammo, etc. Then after I'm back from Pripyat, having left my stash unchecked for god knows how long, I found that it's already filled with HUNDREDS of food items and THOUSANDS of ammo Guess I'll be at the zone for a long time...

I love your videos! Keep it up!!!! What I never liked is, when I find stashes that haven't been "discovered" yet, they're empty until I find a body that reveals the stash.

Everytime when i play stalker, i watch your videos even if i already saw them

thats amazing! there is so much hidden lore in stalker that even someone like me who played stalker games for thousand+ hours didnt know about. great channel and great content, i wasn't aware that you could squeeze so much more from stalker after all these years, hopefully new upcoming stalker game will give you spot to shine

Another amazing video for my eyes and ears to feast on.

9:04 I'm 100% sure that stash belonged to Vasiliev (the scientist tasked with going in with Ghost to disable the brain burner in yantar)

This was an interesting type of video! Trying to explain the kinda unexplained (or throw away) lore of things in games has always been interesting to me. That plus STALKER, just a recipe for awesome content.

Thanks for the vid, it seems like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise is only played by just a really few people in Vietnam, I 've never seen any stalker content in any Gaming channel in Vn. We're so lucky to have a maybe the 2nd Strelok here.😁😁 Btw will there be a video about Maj Degtyarev?

at first i didn't notice stash position comes from looting others, so i thought "why are these coordinates popping up on my pda and why there is always a piece of monologue about the stashes' owners". now i know the reason.

Great video, I love all the stashes in STALKER. I think it really adds to the game's world building and immersion. There are nice little details, and I think you did some good research into them. I remember coming across one of them in SOC, it wasn't covered in the video. It was found in the red forest, and had a short description. I thought it was just going to be some artifacts or maybe a gun. Turned out it was a Compact UDP with one bullet and a bottle of vodka, which in my opinion just shows how awful the zone is. It's bad enough for someone to stashed there "plan B". It's nice details like that, that really add to the world building.

That unknown faction is probably Last Day.

I can't tell if it's a good or a bad thing that in my opinion Stalker SoC contains most of the lore of the series while both clear sky and Call of Pripyat make you explore the zone from different angles / perspectives. This is one of the reasons I keep playing stalker SoC most of the time rather than returning to the later titles which, don't get me wrong, are also really good! For me, SoC will stay the holy grail of lore, atmosphere and tension.

One thing I like about STALKER is that you yourself will eventually realize why people hide stashes if you've played for long enough, especially on Anomaly. Ammo, meds, supplies, parts, goodies for missions, etc. All of them will weigh you down, and it's unwise to sell everything, so you yourself end up making SEVERAL secret stashes at key areas you expect to come back to Being a Duty-er, I often set up a stash at the Bar, the Station, the Ecologist lab, and military checkpoint at Cordon

Really liked it, I mean there's so much to talk about STALKER and the description on the stashes was something that always got me interested.

First of all: Nice video, it's a very one. But I saw a mistake(?) at 13:20, not only the military posseses helicopters, Duty also have/had some of them: In the Faction Wars of Clear Sky, when Freedom captures the Duty's base and Duty recaptures again, Chekhov sends a PDA message where he says this: So, who's up for some more fighting? I hear Duty is back in these parts! They came back in their choppers, recaptured their base and cleaned out everything that moved at Agroprom. The audio file is located in: sounds\characters_voice\scenario\darkvalley\val_freedom_expansion_5_down.ogg

The best channel about stalker I've ever seen. Thanks for your videos bro

Great video stalker I love it!! My sigges5for next video. Lest speak about vehicles in the zone, choppers Trucks all of what has been left behind

That Mi26 for Duty was from Russian army. My memory from all those years ago there was a unique 7.62 AK47 in a fridge in Cordon in SoC.

There is something inteesting about the Duty package, cause all the helicopters in the zone (downed and working ones) use the Ukranian Air Force insignia, but the helicopter where is Duty's package has what appears to be the Soviet or Russian Air Force insignida If the insignia is soviet it most likely is an ex-military detachment of the soviet army that managed to escape with a working heli before everything went down in Moscow. But if it is the Russian AF insignia, it could mean that Duty still has "feellings" towards their Ukranian leaders for letting them to die in the zone or simply its easier to deal with the Russian Army than the Ukranian Army

this is some interesting stuff! keep up the great work!

Will you make secrets of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of pripyat. I will be patient

Great video as always, thank you!

Imagine hunting artifacts and stuff and then decided to stash them in your favorite spot in order to carry more stuff, and the next day, they are gone.

Thanks for making these vids 🙏🏻

You know what is weird about stashes? The fact that you have to find out the exact location that it is at, and then the contents appear. Like the backpack is there but nothing is in it?

Me: *loots secret stash The stalker who his stuff in the stash: wheres my stuff???

Great video!

All of the flavor text for the stashes are really nice.

Nice video man!

Woah! Keep up the good work!!!

Love your videos man, greetings from Argentina :D

I found this channel by accident. It's great, I'm already watching the 6th movie.

Even solders dump their big backpacks (they ussually keep small ones) when entering combat

amazing video, man

Tips hat, my my look how far you’ve come stalker.... great video man

luv u vid soo much man keep it bro

awesome video :)

Awesome video

Not everyone is a loot goblin forever over encumbered

Now the fun thing is that Military also create stashes for themselves, like if they wanted to smuggle stuff out of the Zone for either close ones or for black market.

I never have seen npcs looting other npcs, apart from bandits

Anomalous Dugout, if this is a broken minded question I am really sorry for it but is there a way to get fangs secret stash like a person somewhere and if you end him you get his stash? Sorry again if this is a stupid question.

great vid

another great video

8:06 This Squint character is mentioned by Father Valerian. He's probably a loner.

Once found a stash and the description is a father gathering some stuff to selo and pay for his sons kemotherapy and there was an artifact i gladley took it

I think the unknown faction is clear sky, even your description matches

5:39 woow didnt knew this stash exsisted :O

Best S.T.A.L.K.E.R KZfaqr

12:06 I think this faction was Clear Sky or some of them because they tried stop Strielok

Will you be doing any collabs in the future with other stalker lore youtubers?

11:07 do you know something about that door? i was always wondered what's behind there but mostly i think a underground place or something like that. will you do a video about it? or is planned something similar?

"Supplies of the Leader of Freedome" could be the Stash belonging to Chekhov

I only found it once, but wasn't there a mission in Call of Pripyat where one of your stashes is robbed?

You forgot about Strelok’s 3 stashes in CoP

I think the stash of the leader of freedom is not Mikluha's, because it is clearly stated that he and all of his men survived, while the mentioned leader who left the stash there lost all of his man also I think the depscrition indicate that the said leader also died since then. So I assuming there was two seperated freedom expedition to the center that managed to reach Pripyat. The unkown commander could have been Chekhov or someone else between Chekhov and Mikluha/Lukash (it is not clear that Mikluha was the leader of the faction before Lukash or just some well respected commander like Max).

And here I am making stashes because I'm a video game kleptomaniac.

All that I know about the secret stashes is I've been to most of them

Fino 🧐🍷

💚

Can you open the CC so I can making vietnamese subtile?

The unknown faction could be Sin, just a theory based on scrapped content though

I don't think that Mi-6 is from the Ukrainian military in the Zone, It has the Red Star, looking more like from the Russian AF. Or maybe it was just an Mi-6 from the Soviet times that they don't bothered to paint new xD

Can i reactivate the brain scorcher in anomaly

why do I play this game when I can play the happiest game that wont scare me every 10 minutes. I don't know... the zone is like a Siren.

The crashed helicopter has soviet markings on it, so I don't think that can really be taken as a sign that Duty is being supported by the Ukrainian military.

lmao when I'll go in chernobyl I wanna make an secret stash too. and if someone it's able to found it he can keep it. even u stalker anomalous dugout u can search for it when u will go there someday

new microphone ?

14:03 and the scientist

All stash you can loot buffet! Very "informative" my comrade, I give you my thanks for the ehm... tips... ehm... 😎

Hmm, what if Saharov is not that nicce as he looks, he just uses that image for more people to help the old reasercher...

I don't think that the connection between Duty and the Military is something bad, both want to destroy the zone and save people

Dude how the hell do you go into third person

Expected to find out about stashes - listened to some weirdo reading out poems I can read myself..

Nice accent lol.

is your accent real or fake? sounds forced

Secret Stashes - Most annoying shit ever
