STALKER Anomaly: You Don't Need The Calibrated Psy-Helm

hello friends here's a fun fact you might not know about stalker anomaly you don't actually need to pay full price for the calibrated sciholm from sakharov in order to beat the game let me explain in stalker anomaly parts of the zone are filled with dangerously high psionic activity which will kill you if you spend too long standing within them these areas are roughly speaking the northern half of yantar and lab x16 radar and lab x19 pripyat and the cnpp or chernobyl nuclear power plant pp in order to safely traverse these areas you have to visit sakharov in yantar and pay him to build you a tin foil hat when doing so you're offered a conundrum you could take a 5g proof helmet right there and then for a lower price but it hasn't been calibrated so sakadorf can't guarantee that it will work alternatively you can pay extra and wait several in-game days pestering sakura repeatedly and receive a calibrated guaranteed to work faraday cage for your brain like most people when i first played anomaly i immediately thought they wouldn't offer this option if the uncalibrated version actually did anything determined not to fall for the trap i proceeded to always pay for the full price version however while speedrunning stalker anomaly i actually tested out the uncalibrated helmet and it turns out it works just fine stop looking at the time just go with one exception the uncalibrated helmet keeps you safe in the area north of yantar radar pripyat and the chernobyl nuclear power plant all the way down to the wish granter and the monolith bunker that list might look exactly the same as the list of places that the calibrated version keeps you safe but it's deceptive the uncalibrated brain bucket will keep you alive in the north area of yantar and lab x16 right up until here at this exact moment the game will instantly kill you you don't take side damage which drains your psy health like other locations it just straight up deletes you this means that you can theoretically go through living legend without paying the full price for remittance choosing which location to protect from sin you have to choose radar or pay for the calibrated version of the helmet after all this last one i'm not 100 sure on since it's been a long time since i got this far in the game but operation afterglow the third storyline does not require you to go into x16 either so you might not need the calibrated helmet for that so yes fellow stalkers with one exception that kind of the old scientist nyanta has been scamming us for years now and wasting our time tuning up that helmet save yourself the cash and the time take the budget helmet just stay away from the giant funny brain room in x-16 [Music]
