The Poppy Field Mission Overview and Rewards

Location and Mission Info

The Poppy Field Mission Info
Starting Location	Hamster's Shop in Zalissya, Lesser Zone
Quest Giver	Mityay
Mission Description
An Orthodox icon for the price of an artifact! Mityay, a stalker who used to live here before the disaster of '86, wants to get his family heirloom back. He left it in an old root cellar somewhere in the Poppy Field. That place has a knack for putting folks to sleep, he says, so retrieving the icon won't be easy.

Completion Rewards

You can get 1000 Coupons if you return the Icon to Mityay, or an AR416 with great stats with low durability if you trade the Icon to Pomor. You can only choose one reward between the two.

The Poppy Field Walkthrough

Discover the Location of the Root Cellar with the Orthodox Icon

Head to the Root Cellar Directly

Go to Poppy Fields by going northwest until you reach the field near the river. You must cross the field filled with drowsing red flowers until you reach the Root Cellar. You can bring at least two Energy Drinks to prevent yourself from sleeping and dying as you cross.

If you want the Root Cellar Location to be marked on your own map, follow the steps below. If not, skip to the next objective, which is finding Mityay's Orthodox Icon.

Pay or Help Pomor for Info

Enter the house near the red flowers in the Poppy Fields and talk to Pomor. You can ask him information about the Root Cellar location by paying Coupons or collecting guns and ammo for him.

You will need 2000 Coupons if you want to pay, or loot the five corpses around Poppy Field to get the cellar location.

Find Mityay's Orthodox Icon

Head inside the Root Cellar and take the Orthodox Icon on the shelf on the left. You can also loot other items inside the cellar before you leave.

Return or Trade the Icon

You can choose to trade the Icon to Pomor to get a unique AR416 after getting the Orthodox Icon. You can also return it to Mityay if you don't want to get the weapon.

Return the Icon to Mityay

You can follow the main reason for getting the Orthodox Icon and return it to Mityay. Giving the Orthodox Icon to Mityay will net you 1000 Coupons, and you will be able to see it displayed on their family grave.

Trade the Icon to Pomor

You can get the Unknown Stalker's AR416 from Pomor if you decided to trade the Orthodox Icon from him. The weapon has decent stats, but the durability is almost depleted. This means you have to spend Coupons if you want to repair and use it.
