Metro Exodus Chapter 8 - Taiga

Taiga

When you wake up after saving Olga, then go along the coast and into the plundered village on the left. Enter the house on the right, go into the room on the left and burn all the cobwebs. Hanging on a sideboard in the far left corner postcard №15. Come out of the courtyard and at the gate you will find a note on a crossbow bolt (a piece of paper wrapped around an arrow).

Go right along the road and you will find yourself at the Solnechny children's camp. The path ahead is blocked, so turn right and turn left from the monument to Lenin. Enter the building on the right that looks like a classroom. On one of the desks of the main room licks Larisa's letter.

Climb down the bridge (after you see the pirates), go left and go up into the building on the left. You can listen to the audio recording in the director's office. You can pick up a night vision device if you haven't found it before. There is also a rope ladder here: climb up and get over the cable to the other side. You will find yourself at the outpost of the pirates. Deal with everyone, acting as you wish: you can kill the pirates or stun them.

Enter the brick ruin building and go down to the basement to find a crossbow with a scope and a night vision device. Climb to the roof of the brick building to find on the box solemn oath.

Get out of here and go towards the bridge, along the river on the left. Behind the gazebo is another building that looks like a section for small children. Go inside and turn into the room on the right, where the button accordion is lying on the floor. On the corner of the table are baby doodles.

There is nothing else to do here, so climb back to the top of the brick building and slide down the rope to the other side. You will see a cut-scene featuring wolves and a gorilla.

Once you've crossed over to the other side, follow the road ahead and turn to the treehouse on the left. You will recognize him by the burning fire. Climb the rope ladder and on the shelf to the right by the fire you will find dusty diary. Roll down the rope to the fire near the rock, deal with the enemy and take diary of an alchemist.

Continue down the main road towards the quest marker. Turn right when you see the lights - this is a house on the pier where the fisherman lives. Inside the house from the side of the pier, on the box lies lost diary. Talk to the fisherman - Pioneer, who was then with Olga.

Cross the road and find the green entrance to the cave in the mountain. Once in a small room, take away from the table dusty notebook. Exit the cave, go along the mountain to the left and climb the rocks to get even higher on the rope ladder. Follow to another cave and turn right. Soon you will be in the grid. Watch the cut-scene with the appearance of the bear, after which Artyom will be released.

Follow the road ahead, turn up the hill on the left, where you will find all your equipment. Go further and on the left you will see four people talking. Hide from them in the grass on the left side. On the same left hand there is a building, and next to it one of the pioneers lit a fire. Talk to him, enter the building and find on the stove neat writing.

To get to the camp, you can use the cave in the water on your left or the boat on the right. You can also move around the tree houses using ropes. Inside the camp, find a large green building and go up to the very top, where a pioneer will be standing in the corner in the room. He will say that the prisoner (Alyosha) has fled in the direction of the church. At the workbench, create as many arrows as possible. Get out of here and get over the top to the houses on the rock, on the other side of the river. Enter the far room, go outside and go down the rope into the gorge.

Note. If you go to the pioneer camp through the main entrance, then in the building on the left you can find sloppy letter.

Following the gorge, turn into the cave on the right to find on the box near the fire shabby letter. Keep moving through the cave and near the corpse on the ground, pick up crumpled note.

Move forward, climb the stairs, onto the barrels and even higher. In the house, neutralize the two bandits who are torturing the pioneer. Go outside and follow the right through the buildings. Take out enemies along the way. Cross the bridge to the other side and turn to the house with green thickets on the left. There may be enemies inside, but when you go to the room with the furnace, on the left wall hangs postcard №17.

Climb down and follow the road to the river. Turn right to find a pier with a corpse. On the table next to him is dirty diary.

Return to the house where you found the postcard and go along the cliff on the right hand to find a path leading up. Get to the church, go through the gate and approach the main door. Try to cut the rope on the left, when suddenly a bear will appear. Use the crossbow to drive the beast away. You will have to put a lot of arrows into it. The mutant is fairly easy to dodge, as it usually runs in a nearly straight line. Cut the rope and climb up. Enter the building with the workbench and then open the grate on the right to meet Olga. After a dialogue with her, go down the stairs.

Ahead of you is a camp of pirates. We recommend going down and follow the road along the mountain on the left. At the very end of the path, near the stones, there is a ladder down. Go down it and find a pier with a boat. It is best to do this at night. Get on the boat and swim forward until you find yourself in the camp. The path to the left is blocked by a gate. To their left, in the building on the second floor, there is a lever that raises the gate. On the first floor of the same building, on the table lies folded note.

After opening the gate, swim forward until you find yourself near some factory. Go around the building on the right and start the generator in the destroyed garage. Go inside, find the electrical panel and lower all the toggle switches to turn on the electricity. On the lift at the other end of the building, go upstairs and go through the far door to meet with the Admiral. You can listen to him or immediately cut the rope on the left and climb up the stairs. Move to the other side by sliding down the rope.

Walk up and to the right. Enter the tunnel. Moving through the subway, at some point, all electronics will stop working for you. You'll have to make do with a lighter. Scare off the spiders and run forward. Near the closed door, crawl through the ventilation with wires on the left. Once outside, you can use the flashlight. There will be a lot of spiders in this room, and in the right corner there is a booth with a lamp. Turn on the lamp and try to start the generator: there is not enough fuel. Find the stairs, go upstairs and you will see a closed door. Nearby is a canister of fuel. After taking it, go back and start the generator. Go to the door, open it with the lever on the right and go into the corridor.

Immediately pay attention to the corpse on the ground, near which lies bloody letter. Get out upstairs until you meet Alyosha. Listen to it while standing on the helicopter, then go down to the abandoned village. In the second house on the right, the entrance to which is open, on the table with the sewing machine lies unfinished letter.

Enter the next room on the left, turn around and to the right of the doorway, on the wall look for postcard number 19.

Go forward through the wooden bridge, where you will be attacked by a bear. Fight the Master, attacking with the most powerful weapon available. Toward the end of the fight, he will move more and more slowly. As soon as you deal enough damage, the script will work: the bear will knock Artyom off his feet, but then fall down.
