In the “Poppy Field” mission of Stalker 2, you are drawn into a hazardous journey through a deadly anomalous zone in search of a hidden root cellar where the Orthodox icon is located, one that has a mysterious past behind it- two to be precise. Pomor, a dubious character with unclear intentions towards the icon, collects it for his purposes, while Mityay, having lived a part of his life in the district, values it much as a desired family heirloom. The icon recipient will decide your reward, and the reward is uniquely patterned according to your decisions in choosing the icon recipient.
Sell Icon to Pomor or Return Icon to Mityay
You’re on a quest to find a hidden root cellar in a poppy field where a man named Mityay used to live. But you’ll encounter a man named Pomor who has his own plans for the place. You need to find an Orthodox Icon inside the cellar and bring it back to Pomor. After that, you’ll face a choice, but it seems like your decision won’t have a big impact on the story.
To claim either reward, you’ll need to retrieve the Orthodox icon from the root cellar, which is located on the west side of the poppy field. Be cautious, though the field is a dangerous anomalous zone that can trap anyone who lingers too long in an eternal sleep. Once inside the cellar, loot the body on the floor and grab the icon from the shelf. Then, leave the cellar and the field as quickly as possible to avoid the anomaly’s deadly effects.
Sell Icon to Pomor in Stalker 2 Poppy Field Mission
If you give the icon to Pomor, you’ll receive the Unknown Stalker’s AR416, a rifle known for its accuracy and rapid fire. This might be a valuable weapon, especially if you’re early in the game and haven’t found a 5.56×45 caliber rifle yet. However, the rifle is quite damaged, with only 10% durability, meaning it could break easily.
Return Icon to Mityay in Stalker 2 Poppy Field Mission
If you return the icon to Mityay, you’ll receive 1,350 coupons. This extra money can help you upgrade your equipment or repair your weapons. Mityay is particularly eager to have the icon back as it holds sentimental value, reminding him of his family.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the choice of who to give the icon to is yours. Both rewards have their merits. There’s also a riskier option: trade the icon for the rifle with Pomor, then kill him to retrieve the icon. You can then return the icon to Mityay for the 1,350 coupons.
