Blue Parasite

The  is an artifact found in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"This is a "half-product" of an artifact transmutation. Apparently the blue color comes from microbes which interfered with the transmutation process. Scientists believe that this type of artifact can be used as an ingredient for artifact transmutations but there is no way to confirm that. Further research is needed."

Overview

 * v1.30013 - 1.3003:


 * Very rarely seen in the wild around Burner clusters.
 * As of v1.3003 the spawn parameters for the Burner anomaly are bugged to the extent that far too many Green Parasites are introduced which has a knock-on effect on the spawning of the other burner related artifacts. The fix is trivial.
 * All NPCs will pay 500 Ru for this item.

Trivia

 * An undesired by product from several unsuccessful Artifact Merger transformations, notably: Bubble, Compass, Electra, Firefly and Snowflake, being the ones most available to the player.
 * v1.4007:


 * Available as a by-product from a different subset of Artifact recipes.
