Metro Exodus: Chapter 3 - Volga

Volga

After the train stops, take the map and go outside with Anna. Go down after the girl down, but do not rush. Turn left and cross the river under the bridge. A little further than the bridge there is a small stop with corpses. Lying on the mattress moldy magazine.

Go to the power lines and talk to Anna. Get on the boat and sail to the church. Inside it, you will be trapped.

Climb up the stairs and find Katya with her daughter Nastya. Get out through the window and carefully go down to the first floor of the church. Whoever you need, you can stun. Go to the right side and go to the beginning of the church along the street to find a boat hanging on the ropes. Lower it by turning the valve on the right, and swim away from here. Get back to the train.

After talking with Melnik, look into the engine to Tokarev to get a new weapon from him - an air rifle. Look at the map to understand where to go. Go to the factory. Kill the first humanoid mutant. Go to the right of the building, along the rails, and a little further to the left you will find a descent down. Go to the bunker, kill the enemy and in the room opposite the door, on the shelf, look for faded note.

Make your way through the subway and get up the stairs or fire escape at the end of the water tunnel. Upstairs there is a warehouse with many mutants. Kill them and then find the stairs. Climb up, go on top and find the stairs to the roof. After getting out there, kill the opponents, and then the Cross will lower the bridge. Go up to him and chat on all topics. From now on, binoculars are available to you. In his lair you can find postcard number 4.

Follow Cross to his lair and interact with the workbench. Use the workbench to clean your weapons each time. Be sure to try out new upgrades that you remove from the weapons you find. Having dealt with everything, go outside behind the Cross and get down on the rope.

Follow the marker where Anna is. You will find a blue signal fire. Avoid ball lightning. Approaching the fire, Artyom will fall down. Examine Anna, then follow through this bunker. There is only one way, but you have to kill the mutants. In the end, you will reach the electrical panel. Use it to turn on the light. Go further, past the shield, and at the end of the path you will find a valve. Turn to open the bunker gate, and through the nearest door, return to Anna and comrades. After that, follow back to the Aurora and talk to Melnik inside. Take the fuse.

Now you need to steal the railcar. Walk along the railway track until Miller contacts you. Look into the tank car to talk to the Prince. He will tell you about all the sights in the area, including the factory needed in the story. White question marks will appear on the map. They will be discussed in detail below.

Go to the warehouse to the left of the rails, if you move towards the station with the trolley. There are raiders who have captured prisoners. Climb inside the building through the top. There are many cans hanging on ropes. Cut them off so you don't get discovered. Deal with all the bandits and find a cage with two cultists. She's locked up. Nearby there is a fire, around which boxes of provisions are placed. On the table with a suitcase lies folded letter.

In the same building you can find ammo pouches armor upgrade. Shoot the lock on the door to free the prisoners. This good action. Take away from the hands of the prisoner terminal room key.

To the right of the rails, you can find a ruined building, where the bandits also settled. Kill them from below and from above. In one of the rooms below, find reinforced helmet.

Side mission: save the guitar from bandits

This task is activated after you go for a railcar to pull a new car. Listen to the allies who are standing at the beginning of the train. They will tell about the bandits from the tower nearby, who "torment" the guitar. And ask her to put her out of her misery. A marker will appear pointing to the tower.

Go there, kill three bandits from above and a couple more pieces on the tower itself. Climb upstairs, enter the room and from it climb the fire escape. Here you will find guitar. Be sure to go downstairs and free the prisoner in the cage. This good action, affecting the ending of the game, as evidenced by a small flash on the screen. Listen to the man to learn about the new cache location. When you are near the Aurora, then give Stepan the guitar.

Side quest: return the bear to Nastya

When you go for the trolley, Stepan will contact you. He will ask you to return the teddy bear for Nastya. A marker will appear in the lower right corner of the location. Head there, find a tall tower and climb it using the ladders. At the top there will be a nest of a flying creature. Finish her off and take her from the suitcase Teddy bear. When you are near the Aurora, then give the girl a bear.

Climb down and go along the river (to the left along the bottom of the map) to find a building right behind the towers. Shoot the castle and go inside. Monsters will probably come running, so kill them. Inside you can find dirty letter и metal detector for the hand.

Pay attention to the island below the center of the map. To get there, you can move either by boat (if you find it), or from the same side where you found the bear (from the lower right corner and to the left). In the second case, you will need to move along the fence sticking out of the water. With a run, jump onto the metal support in front. You can try to get here from the other side. On the spot you will find a building with a generator. Find outside, near the window, a canister of fuel. Refuel the generator and start it.

Enter the neighboring house, switch the toggle switch on the left and go to the resource room. Follow to the far room, where there will be a locked red door. There is a lift nearby. Follow the roof and find a hole to jump down through it. In the room behind the red door, activate the electrical panel, then go back and turn the toggle switch at the large metal door with a valve. Open it, lower the lever to fry the corpse. Get it out of his chest battery charge controller.

There is a workbench in the building nearby where you can place this item.
