If you haven't played the LOTZ Trilogy before, please do!
Do not focus on unlocking achievements.
Explore, loot, shoot and have fun!

• After all these years, the game still has bugs and errors anomalies. Sometimes achievements won’t unlock because of them. Additionally, future updates from GSC could potentially break achievement unlocks. Please be aware of this.
  
• Use manual saves. It may help you to roll back in case of issues with the game, or if you decide to unlock missed achievements.
  
• After lowering the bridge to access Limansk, you will reach a point of no return. Thus, before proceeding with the main story, it's a good idea to save your game and go back to unlock missed achievements.
  
• For the achievement Forever aloner, you have to skip the faction war until the end of the game. The best approach would be to reach the point of no return (After lowering the bridge to access Limansk), save your game, and then focus on obtaining the achievements from the Faction War list. Afterward, you can reload your save and continue the playtrough.
  
• Read the Meat Constructor Achievement very carefully - see reasons why in our Anomalies & artifacts tab.
  
• The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community is exceptional! If you find some parts of this guide not being up to date, the solution may already be in the comments section!

Overloaded but not overcame
Walk 10 kilometers with overload.

Fast travel also counts.

Gunsmith
Upgrade 5 different weapons to maximum.

Purchase all upgrades for five weapons. The simplest way to do it is by upgrading sawn-off shotguns, as they only have three upgrades.

Drag and sell
Sell goods for more than 100 000.


All the money in the Zone
Sell goods for more than 250 000.


The simplest way - gather some quantity of expensive artifacts. Save and then sell them with all your gear to the trader most loyal to you faction. Reload save and repeat.

Stashfinder
Find and steal items from back of the Suslov shop in marshes.

Behind the garage where Suslov sits, you can climb up the ladder to reach the counter, from where you need to take out all the vodka and medkits.

Decent start
Find the stash with valuable habar at swamps.

Go to Great Swamps > North West top corner > follow the map below.

Inside the Anomalous dugout, retrieve the Veles detector hidden behind the mattress. Retrieving the detector can be tricky; use the Q\E keys for leaning and spam the F key OR use the grenade. You could also grab the Gravity artifact here.

Avenger
Liquidate machine gunner at military block post.

You need to kill the machine gunner at the Military outpost after your first time entering Cordon from Great Swamps.
The machine gunner's aim is VERY accurate.
Gather an accuracy-upgraded AKM with optics by that point. You could find at the Bandit tower near Fisherman's Farm in the Great Swamps.

Once the machine gunner notices you, run to the large rocks.
Aim for the muzzle flash: it is the easiest way to hit the guy.

AWOL
Help Semyon Lambee.

Soldier you need is located in the Cordon, under the bridge near the Rookie Village. You have to complete his quest by bringing him the PDA of a deceased comrade.

To get to the corpse, jump into the spatial anomaly above the railroad bridge.
Teleport will take you to the tunnel where the corpse is.

In socks alone
When dived into that very basement with empty pockets.

When you return to the Garbage for the quest Catch Up with Fang, before entering the infamous basement, put away all your belongings in the crate on the 2nd floor of the Flea Market, or simply drop everything on the ground before the basement.

Also, it would be wise to spend all the money, because you won't be able to get them back.

Don't forget to make backup saves, as there is a bug anomaly which can corrupt saves made after this.

Know thyself
Assist Hermit and finish his quest in Undergrounds.

The Hermit is located at the Loners faction base in Agroprom. There's a hatch leading to his shelter between 4 fluid tanks, North-West part of the institute.

Trophy Hunter
Find the trophy AKM-47/2.

Find a trophy assault rifle as part of the task assigned by the commander of any Neutral faction group in the Cordon. It's also required for the Gun Baron achievement.

Life of the party
Find the forgotten guitar.

The quest to find the guitar is given by the commanders of the Freedom faction groups in the Dark Valley.

Relics of the past
Find the time machine in Limansk.

While in Limansk, in the square filled with corpses, go to the basement where you may find an easter egg. One of the doors is blocked by crates. Remove them using knife or grenade.

The true Stalker
Visit all in-game locations.

Sorry, cars were deleted at the early development stage.
Proceed on your legs.

Mock of a stalker
Die from 5 different anomalies.

Become The Bolt.

I am machine
Enhance your maximum weight capacity by 60 kilograms.

Equip artifacts that increase your total weight capacity:

• Night Star (+10 kg)
  
• Gravi (+20 kg)
  
• Golden Fish (+30 kg)

Gravi is guaranteed to be found in a stash upon achieving Decent Start. Search in clusters of Gravi anomalies for Golden Fish and Night Star. You will likely obtain them by the end of the game.

Alternatively, you could work towards the 60 kg total weight capacity by upgrading currently equipped suit.
For example: Leather Jacket has an upgrade called Relief Vest available for 350 currency that adds an additional 5 kg to the total carry weight.

Meat constructor
You found all "meat" artifacts. Abomination, but useful to survive in the Zone!

I.M.P.O.R.T.A.N.T. Notes before attempting to obtain this achievement.

• Not only collect listed artifacts but also carry them in your inventory at the same time.
  
• Stone Blood artifact only has a 50% spawn chance during playtrough!. Obtain the artifact at the start of your journey, as there is no other chance to get it.
  
• Save before each transition to the next location because artifacts spawn randomly on the location upon first entry. And if a different artifact spawns in the anomaly, another one won't.
  
• And if above does not work, you may use item spawner mode. Available in the Steam Workshop.

Artifacts:

• Stone Blood: Great Swamps, acid fog behind the tower where Scar kill boars at the beginning of the game.
  
• Meat Chunk: Garbage, in the acid fog on the right side of the road. If it spawns for you in Great Swamps, re-start the walkthough.
  
• Eye: Yantar, on the hill to the west of the location. Red Forest, Symbiont anomaly. Army Warehouses, near the transition to the Garbage.
  
• Soul: Garbage, in the acid fog. Dark Valley, on the gas tank near the gas station. Agroprom, on the swamp to the North.
  
  The anomaly where Stone Blood could be found is marked in yellow. A similar anomaly marked in red spawns different artifacts (Stone Blood included, but no 100% guarantee).
  
  
  
  Try to run through this route as quickly as possible before the Emission starts. The objective is to confirm that Stone Blood artifact spawned in the anomaly. You will be knocked out by scripted Emission, but don't worry if you didn't grab the artifact. Just pick it up later.

Artifact sommelier
Find each artifact in the Zone.

Find each artifact. No need to carry them all at the same time in your inventory.
Also, you don't have to find all artifacts during 1 playthrough.

Before you start, please take a look at guide for Meat Constructor achievement.

Make a save BEFORE MOWING to the next location so you could reload in case the artifact doesn't spawn.

• Bubble: Yantar, Red Forest, Army Warehouses.
  
• Shell: Yantar, Red Forest, Army Warehouses.
  
• Firefly: Red Forest, Army Warehouse.

Forever aloner
Finish the game without joining any faction after leaving the Swamps.

You have to skip the faction wars until the end of the game.
Make a separate save before starting each of the faction wars related achievement, so you could load the save and unlock the rest of achievements.

Friend for an hour
Be supported by and gain maximum reputation with 3 or more factions.

Complete the tasks given by faction commanders to increase reputation. Joining faction is not mandatory, so you may combine this achievement with Forever aloner.

Do to complete tasks for opposing factions like the Loners and Bandits and Duty and Freedom. Choose one side. You can achieve maximum reputation with Clear Sky after lowering the bridge in Limansk.

One of us
Join any faction after leaving the Swamps.

Join any faction.

Garbage Hegemon
Help Free stalkers or Bandits to be victorious in their conflict.

Lead Free stalkers or Bandits to victory in their war against each other. You'll receive the achievement after your leader announces victory over the radio.

If you join the Free stalkers, you won't be able to fully upgrade the SEVA suit because only Bandit technicians can apply unique modifications.

The question of Ideology
Make the choice between Freedom and Duty and help your faction to defeat their rivals.

A similar trophy to Garbage Hegemon.

Issues may arise from squads of your faction unwilling to go to the Garbage to access the home location of the rival faction. This can be resolved by eliminating squads of Loners or Bandits at the Garbage near the transitions to your home location. This way, your clan's groups will move towards the available points. Similar actions may need to be carried out across the entire Garbage.
