This is by far my most ambitious video series to date, and took a lot of trial and error (I wont say more!): a Stalker Anomaly Ironman run aiming to get the Invictus Challenge (Finish the three main stories on the hardest gameplay and progression difficulty, deathless of course).
Initially I was planning on doing this on Vanilla Stalker Anomaly, but the "modpack" Escape from Pripyat (EFP) is so amazing that I couldn't resist using it. It definitely makes things harder though. Anyways, enough talk, enjoy this new Stalker Ironman run, and lets see how far I manage to go!

How to get Invictus in 9 simple steps: 1. Play as Ecologist 2. Farm Ecologist Exoskeleton 3. Farm 5 Empty Artifacts 4. Become an Epinephrine addict 5. Become a Morphine addict as well, just for good measure 6. Dodge pinpoint accurate Thermite Grenades from Monolith 7. Pray that Mortal Sin does not bug out in Abandoned Hospital 8. ???? 9. Profit

I just did it. This was exactly how it went down, only I was with Duty and used the PSZ-9D Proto Exoskeleton. You don't need more than one Full Empty on that armor, really, and you can get away with using the improved plates/kevlar instead. The rest of your belt can be filled with anomaly protection equipment like the freon module and the surge protector, just in case you step on an electro or flame anomaly. I think #8 should be "stop, look, listen.... often," or "S.L.L.O." It will save you more frustration than any piece of kit can for sure.

I'm actually really surprised no one has gone through and made proper cannon accurate HD models, and that really sucks. I dont usually make people or clothes, but I'm an artist, and have made tons of 3d models for SimCity4 and Cities Skylines. I've never modded STALKER, but I think I may take a stab at it this year. I feel like someone really needs to at least get a Cannon HD Models mod started, because HD models rn are lame, and dont blend with the game very well at all. I mean. They're, fine. I just like vanilla outfit aesthetic much more.

@cykablyat9526 Жыл бұрын

i dont think they re lame, they look more realistic, i too love the vanilla outfits and style but looks kinda outlandish in a game based on the real life exclusion zone, in the hd models you see npcs wearing rags, actual military looking gear and even normal clotes for poor dudes like bandits and loners wich makes sense considering thwt many stalkers come in the game with only thr clothes on their back and a shoter, in a way its more immersive

EFP is truly amazing, I wont lie there are a few things i toned down like the damage they can soak at the beginning when using shotgun headshots at close range while they dont flinch ( buckshot and 9x18mm feel like rubber ammo ) as i value realism over artificial difficulty, but overall it is really a top notch mod, for me it is by far the best version of Stalker/Anomaly, I am not sure i will enjoy Stalker2 as much , the depth of the gameplay and immersion in EFP will be very difficult to match. Nice idea for the serie btw, I am eager to watch the rest of your playthrough :)

Going for invictus pissed me off so much at times. Had a few attempts that I got sick of trying to farm cash earlygame so I popped cheat engine and gave myself 80mil. Dirty? Yes. Cheap? Absolutely. Worth it? You bet your ass. Army warehouses is a pretty big brained starting point. Riskier than a few starting areas (especially as a Freedomer since 3 of the 4 factions there are hostile), but the loot potential is pretty amazing and quite a few cache spawns close by so the chance of getting mechanic tools is fairly decent as well.
