Meet Monolith informer

Meet Monolith Informer is a storyline mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

- Informer

"Pricey, but it's worth it to me."

- Marked One

Player's Previous Actions
Shortly beforehand, player must first talk to Oleg Gusarov and then gullible bandit. Gusarov will tell the player how to find a bandit jacket, which temporarily makes them a member of Bandit Faction. After speaking to the gullible bandit and obtaining password, the player can safely enter Monolith factory.

Meeting With Informer
Once inside Monolith factory, the player must get to the position of the informer, which is marked on the map. Buildings are large and can be quite confusing in places, and Monolithians inside can't even tell you anything interesting, let alone how to traverse without getting lost. However, if player can systematically comb the buildings and remember which places they have already come from, looting is possible (batteries and other useful items are found in certain places).

Eventually, whether through careful planning or dumb luck, player will find the Monolith informer. Upon speaking with him, Marked One will ask "You're that guy, are you not?" The Monolithian will be confused until player explains the meaning, at which point the Monolithian will decide to help because he is a man of honour (and greed). For 1.500 RU (10.000 RU in Developer's Cut) he temporarily distracts his boss while player is tasked to Retrieve information about X18 and goes to the boss's office to retrieve the Document.
