  • Howdy folks! Hope all is well! Today, i'll be talking about each mutant in the Stalker series, their origins, folklore, and a bunch of other stuff. I try to be entertaining as well as informative, and if I miss anything that you find important, please let me know in the comments below. Stalker is interesting since throughout the trilogy, some mutants change, so I'll be extra careful detailing which ones do and don't.
    If you're wondering about the STALKER franchise, and want to know more about life in The Zone, check out my retrospectives or other lore videos:
    Retrospective: • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow ...
    Lore: • S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lore: T...
    Let me know what your favorite or least favorite mutant is, and why. I'm going bloodsucker, since cloaking is my least favorite enemy ability.
    All the best,
    Dog Dad

      My favorite is the fleshpig because they're so Cronenberg. My least favorite are all the annoying ankle-biter types, especially cats in Anomaly. My favorite mutants to battle for sport are snorks, lurkers, chimeras, and pseudogiants depending on game/mod. Most of my Zone Sportsmanship Challenges pertain to hunting specific mutants in specific ways, often with a specific type of weapon or with a specific loadout.

      I propably come late to that party, but you are indeed being kinda blind - at least in SOC.

    Note about finding burers in COP: When you discover a new mutant for the first time, it adds it to the pool of mutants that can now spawn in the wild. So if you do that mission that lands you with a burer earlier in the game, you now have the potential to run into one again randomly out in the wild before going to x-8. It’s not a guarantee, and they’re on the lower side of spawn chance, but I’ve seent em!

    my guess with the crow bit is they are often referred to as vessels for souls, there are a few artifacts that deal directly with the idea that artifacts can be organic. if crows are vessels for bits of essentially consciousness then they belong to the noosphere to some degree and can probably see or sense rips in reality caused by the destabilization of the noosphere

    The only one that is scary to me was the pseudo giant, because it looks truly like something mutated, it has a weird large malformed head and it looks like a huge deformed version of Belial from the first basket case basically. The pseudo giant reminds me also of some of those weird deformed babies in containers that died, around the Chernobyl area in real life, that are preserved in those glass containers.

    One thing i think you should've touched on more is the wildlife's supposed adaptation to the zone. Blind dogs and crows both seemed to have independently evolved some kind of "anomaly-sense" that makes them more fit for survival in the zone. I think its especially apparent with the blind dogs, it seems they traded their visual sense for the extras-sensory anomaly sense. Some stalkers claim they can sense amonalies without a detector too, probabably a similiar adapatation or biological mechanism involved in detecting anomolous activity.

    It’s likely that the Blind Dogs can "see" anomalies before they appear to the naked eye, and given how easily they can track Stalkers, mutants, and other animals, it’s likely they aren’t blind in the traditional sense, and instead have a different kind of sight that was achieved after losing their eyes, one that allows them to see, and therefore avoid, anomalies that can just pop into reality.

    If you just recently discovered the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series. I'd recommend the *COMPLETE* mod series for each game in the Trilogy. The Complete mods focus on improving the original game’s graphics, sound, and atmosphere, while preserving its core elements. It also fixes a lot of bugs and glitches.
    Apart from that. you may also need to do few tweaks as well like.
    1. Disabling the Head bobbing [ pdf file that comes with complete mod explains how to do this ]
    2. Increasing the FOV [ you'll need to download a separate mod or edit the games files yourself ]
    3. Enabling each game to have large address awareness [ It's called the 4GB Patch which reduces performance issues and crashing ]
    4. Putting " *-noprefetch* " in the launch parameters reduces long loading times and stuttering.
    [ On a personal note - Hardcore fans of the series may dislike the COMPLETE mod series since they believe it makes the game too easy. But it is undeniable that the overall performance, optimizations, bugfixes and visual upgrades that the COMPLETE mod series provides you - without straying away from the core elements that the Devs intended for you to experience ]

      ShoC pseudogiants aren't very tough. Four buckshot blasts to the face with any shotgun (even the sawed-off Mad Max gun) at a room-length distance will do. In the other games, and mods like Anomaly, 40-mils are the ideal problem-solver when dealing with "big game." For some reason, most players don't use grenade launchers. Maybe because CoD has forever tarnished the reputation of grenade launchers, making people perceive them as "noob tubes" rather than indispensable force-multipliers.

    also check out item descriptions

    one example being the first being the flash eye quote
    " The mutated, swollen eye of the Flesh acquired a number of strange characteristics, the most useful of which is the ability to regenerate the lens. The specifics of the process are hitherto unknown, although such discovery would most certainly revolutionlize modern medicine. You can play your part in scientific development by selling Flesh eyes to scientists for their experiments"

      Imagine this: The story continues from the "I want the Zone to disappear" ending. Marked One is blind. He's found wandering the Zone by ecologists and taken to Yantar where Professor Sakharov implants a fleshy piggy fleshpig bulging eyeball into his left eye socket (because the left eye is the bulgy one). He can then see and smell with his fleshy piggy fleshpig bulging eyeball! The scent-eye ability would be represented like Batman's "detective mode." And since he now only sees out of his left eye (his face would now appear lop-sided like a fleshpig's fleshy pig-face or like the face of the Toxic Avenger), he shoots left-handed.

    Poltergeist is implied to be from the x labs you first encounter one in x 18 and at the end when you fight the fire version of it you can actually notice that one of the tanks containing weird fetus’ is actually empty hence it’s implied without actually saying anything where they’re from you’ll also find a tushanko in a little glass cage in the same lab implying that they’re also from the same lab not to mention the poltergeist bodies resemble the fetus in the tanks gotta love the environmental storytelling in stalker.

    2:23 Some of us zoners call them "fleshpigs" just to remind ourselves that they're pigs. I read somewhere that the flesh is a pig spliced with the DNA of a fly. So we could also nickname them "Cronenpigs!"
    4:54 I've always wanted to BE a fleshpig! By that, I mean I want to play the game as a fleshpig. Experience the Zone as a fleshpig. Just go around squealing at everyone, galloping around on pig-fly-mantis-hooves like a galloping pig-lump, and transforming every creature I encounter into a fleshpig version of itself by rubbing my bulging eyeball on everyone and everything of demented do0m a go go. 🙃 If you were playing the game AS a fleshpig, how would the ability to smell with your eyeballs be represented? I think it would resemble Batman's "detective mode."
    5:19 I used to have a Boxer back in the day. He had a squishy face with floppy jowls. 😋
    7:12 'Blind Fury' is one of Rutger Hauer's best movies.
    11:33 "Shadow" (singular)
    16:09 In ShoC, you can nail them in the head with a pistol for sport. .45s work best.
    19:32 That's its left foot.
    21:10 Mother Brain
    22:05 "Mashed potatuuuuh..."
    22:43 / 23:48 40-mils are the cure for pseudogiants. Underslung grenade launchers and 40-mils are more convenient than lugging around an RPG and some rockets.
    23:36 You can dodge pseudostomps with perfectly-timed jumps in ShoC but not in Clear Sky or CoP. That never made sense to me. It's a shockwave, not an airburst, so there's no reason NOT to be able to dodge them by jumping.

    In STALKER 2, its not just poltergeists and pyrogeists, its also shockgeists and acidgeists, they all look the same but their powers differ, Poltergeist being the weakest with telekinesis only(it can now erect a stone barrier in place for a while) every other geist can use their elemental power + poltergeist telekinesis. EDIT: Hitting the bloodcyka lair was fucking tense, i guess its the numbers there what made them appear every 5 minutes in STALKER 2.

    There was no pseudogiant behind this door. The door was knocked by a poltergeist.
    Also the author has forgotten to mention one tiny detail about the poltergeist. It doesn't see you when you don't move. Yeah, it's unimportant in vanilla games where they can be killed easily, but in some mods you just have to use this trick against them.

      ​@@Dog.Dad.Studios the source is the game. You can abuse the pseudogian in the storage room by not entering it and shooting the mutant from outside the room. This gives us an idea that the pseudogiant in the x18 couldn't exit the storage room so it couldn't reach the door. Also we don't hear any steps from behind the door and those steps must be there if there was a pseudogiant behind the door. Thus. the door was shaken by the poltergeists.
      Also added one detail to the main comment that wasn't mentioned in the video but exists in the game.

    • @Dog.Dad.Studios
      @Dog.Dad.Studios  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I always thought that was more of a technical glitch than a reality, that the giant doesn’t go past the doors.
      When you face poltergeists in the games, you know they throw items at the player; with the door, something physical is banging on it, and I don’t think there are any items big enough that the poltergeist would throw at the door.
      If you’re saying that it’s not the pseudogiant because it doesn’t go past the next door, I think that might be a game limitation, then the indication it’s the poltergeist

    • @rogaldorn7016

      @@Dog.Dad.Studios and you misssed the second part of the argument: "Also we don't hear any steps from behind the door and those steps must be there if there was a pseudogiant behind the door."
      Were developers limited by something to add those steps? No.
      Also poltergeists interract with physical objects so what limits them from interracting with the door (and they can lift almost anything which has physics attached to it)?
      ---
      Rechecked. There's no pseudogiant behind the door. This door leads to the fire poltergeist. Pseudogiant is located on the same floor but it is not behind the door.
