Stalker 2: How To Unlock Detention Center's Basement

As a seasoned Stalker, I’ve traversed through countless anomalies and explored the desolate wastelands of Chornobyl. The Detention Center has always been one of my favorite spots – not just for its rusty charm, but also for the thrill of the unknown hidden beneath its basement.

In the game Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, one of the initial destinations players encounter upon reaching the “Garbage” area is the Detention Center. This large, weathered structure teems with loot that can aid your adventure. You may have observed that the basement of the Detention Center is sealed off, denying entry to an artifact. Let’s explore ways to unlock the basement of the Detention Center in Stalker 2 and retrieve the artifact.

How to Unlock the Detention Center’s Basement in Stalker 2

In the heart-pounding game known as Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, I’ll be making my way to the Detention Center during the gripping mission titled “Answers Come At A Price”. Following a rendezvous with Star, I’ll be handed a Silenced Pistol – quite handy for a stealthy fellow like myself. The building can be delved into even before completing the quest, offering a chance to sneak a peek and explore its eerie depths at my own pace.

Here’s how players can unlock access to the basement in the Detention Center in Stalker 2.

  1. Enter the Detention Center’s building from the second doorway (east wing) located on the right side of the building.
  2. Go into the small office/reception and look inside the wooden desk to find the “Heavy Key.”
  3. Exit the office, head downstairs into the basement, and unlock the barred gate with the Heavy Key.

How to Get the Hypercube & Mother’s Beads Artifacts in Stalker 2

Upon descending into the basement of the Detention Center within Stalker 2, players will face a labyrinth teeming with burner anomalies. To secure both the Hypercube and the Mother’s Beads artifacts, one must tread cautiously while maneuvering through these hazardous areas. Here are some tips for navigating successfully.

  1. Equip the Bolt and Artifact Detector.
  2. Throw the bolt in the direction of the burner anomaly to recognize its area of effect and make your way around it slowly.
  3. There’s a fire variant of the Poltergeist in one of the rooms, players need to find a safe spot to take it down quickly.
  4. Watch the beeping of the detector and hone in on the location of the artifact. The Hypercube will be in the adjacent room of the dead body. Players should loot the dead body for a key that will open a locked room in the Detention Center on the first floor near the cells.
  5. After getting the Hypercube, players must exit the basement of the Detention Center safely.

To obtain the Mother’s Beads artifact in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you should return to the Detention Center’s basement at a later point, preferably following an Emission event. Following this approach again in future playthroughs will help players secure the Mother’s Beads artifact.
