Just Like the Good Old Days Walkthrough

Talk to Prof. Lodochka at Wild Island

After escaping the SIRCAA in the To the Last Drop of Blood or Law and Order missions, you will have to make your way to Quiet's Camp at Wild Island to talk to Prof. Lodochka

Once you're near enough the location, it will trigger another objective, which is to Neutralize the Mercs.

Neutralize the Mercs Threatening Lodochka

Eliminate the mercenaries inside the building. You can fight them head on or you can try to sneak up to them and go for a silent takedown.

All the mercenaries are in the same floor and hallway and will be marked on the map, helping you to locate them quickly.

Talk to Lodochka

Talk to Lodochka after killing all the mercenaries and securing the area. Ask him about Noontide to know what happened.

(Optional) Activate the Ventilation System

You can decide to help the people in the shelter after rescuing Lodochka. You will have to find a fuse and use it to restore the power and the Ventilation System at the Shelter to the north.

Find a Fuse

After speaking to Lodochka, head down to first floor of the building and grab the High-Voltage Fuse on the crate.

Get to the Engineering Rooms

Go north to find the Shelter. Head inside and go down to reach the Engineering Rooms. You will encounter a Bloodsucker as you go, so prepare your weapons in advance.

On the first cage to your right, you can pick up a Corundum Suit, as well as some ammo and Anti-Radiation Drugs.

Restore Power and Activate the Ventilation System

Go inside the other cage across the one where you got the Corundum Suit. Go on top of the large pipe and then jump to the other pipe to find the Circuit Breaker on the other side. Put the High-Volage Fuse on the Circuit Breaker to restore the power and activate the Ventilation System.

Once done, proceed to the hallway ahead to return back to the surface.

Find the Source of the Signal Inside the Shelter

Find the Entrance

Go to the river up north and look for a cave leading to a mining area. Head inside and go right once you reach the mining rail tracks. You should be able to reach an area filled with poisonous anomaly.

Keep going while avoiding the anomalies until you reach the room filled with machines.

Pick Up the Emitter

Inside the room of machines, pick up the Emitter attached near the wooden structure at the middle of the room. You will have to be quick since you will take psi-damage inside the room and your health will slowly deplete. Once you leave the room, you should no longer take damage from it.

After picking up the Emitter, you'll already receive the next mission, the Invisible Threat. Make your way back to the surface, but be careful as Skipper and his group will be waiting along the way. Take them out and continue on ahead.

Talk to Prof. Lodochka (Optional)

Bring the Emitter to Prof. Lodochka and show him the Emitter to end the quest and begin the Hornet's Nest mission.
