Stalker 2: How To Fix the “Help Solder” Objective Bug

As a seasoned Stalker 2 gamer with countless hours under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of bugs and glitches. But the “Help Solder” bug during The Hornet’s Nest mission was one that left me scratching my head. It seemed like no matter what I did, Solder just wouldn’t cooperate!

In a different scenario, it is stated that Solder was the individual who provided Skif with the location details for setting up the scanner at the outset of “Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl“. Following your pursuit and encounter with him during the “Behind Seven Seals” mission, you’ll be given an option to either let him live or end his life. If you opt for sparing Solder, he will reappear later on and aid you during the “The Hornet’s Nest” mission.

In the game Stalker 2, it appears that the task “Assist Solder” may not be functioning correctly. Despite rescuing him from Monolithian soldiers, the objective does not register as completed and, in certain situations, he unexpectedly perishes. This can lead to some frustration. However, there’s a simple solution to ensure you help Solder and mark the task as complete during the Hornet’s Nest mission:

How to Fix the “Help Solder” Bug During Hornet’s Nest Mission

In the game Stalker 2, when you embark on The Hornet’s Nest mission, you’ll encounter Solder at the outset (provided you chose to spare him during the Behind Seven Seals mission). If Monolithian soldiers pose a threat to him, you have the option to swiftly eliminate those two soldiers. However, it’s important to note that this action won’t check off the “Help Soldier” objective as completed. Here’s how to properly assist Solder in this situation:

Enter the Room Where Solder Is

Immediately upon entering the hallway, Solder’s radio call for help against the Noontide/Monolith troops will start. Once you hear this transmission, quickly dash into the room where Solder is holding off the enemy forces.

Listen to Solder Complete Radio Transmission First

Upon entering the room, it’s likely the Monolithian soldiers will redirect their focus from Soldier to Skif – that’s our goal. If they don’t adjust, fire a single shot at their legs to provoke them into attacking you instead. This move is crucial for ensuring the Monolithians don’t eliminate Soldier while we wait for his communication to finish.

Take Down the Monolith Soldiers

After Solder’s communication ceases, a mission alert will prompt you to “Assist Solder.” Upon receiving this signal, locate and defeat the two Monolithian soldiers attacking Solder. Once they’re defeated, move towards Solder and initiate a dialogue with him.

Completing this task will tick off the sub-goal. The game character, Stalker, will persist, allowing you to move forward with additional objectives within the Hornet’s Nest mission in Stalker 2.
