This is my last Lore video before the blowout of September 5. Back in 2020, my first real Lore video was about Strelok, so we've come full circle. Thank you to all the stalkers who followed me through this journey. I'll see you in the Zone after the release.
@@templarknightac yeah He was chosen for this investigation because of the skills he gathered And in CoP intro the story teller tells us that he was a stalker and after awhile he became a Military Stalker(stalkers that are trusted by the military and carry out task deeper in the zone where military is not exactly welcomed but everybody in the zone affraid of military stalkers)
You forgot about the famous stalker Laundry Laundryov. He was apart of Strelok’s group from the start and did Strelok’s Laundry while he was storming the CNPP. How people always forget about him really shows how prevalent the Mandela affect is nowadays.
You forgot his middle name. His full name would be Laundry "Laundromat" Laundryov, and hes rumored to say "i dont trust you" if you approach the laundromat under specific conditions
What if Ghost and Fang successfully defeated the ambush at the warehouses, including the third merc? By now they were getting paranoid with other groups following them, including this latest set up, so they decided to send misinformation that the ambush was partially successful and Fang had died. Ghost and Fang buried one of the mercs (perhaps the scarred one) and labelled the grave Fang. Faking Fang's death would be a good way of stopping others from tracking him. Fang and Ghost split up, with Fang going north to Pripyat where he actually dies, while Ghost heads back south to Yantar to keep a low profile. It's odd that Ghost can describe the third merc's eye colour despite seeing him ~100m away, which supports the idea that things didn't happen as written. I think in reality it's just discontinuity in the writing, but it's fun to think of viable scenarios.
32:50 Here's my head cannon: Strelok in Clear Sky is clearly more youthful (maybe in his early 30's) as well as experinced so he's not as disfigured or wounded as he is in later games. Which might lead me to why his model is the same in SoC and probably why it isn't the same as in cutscenes either. Strelok in SoC is clearly disfigured/scarred from the battle at the CNPP before the emission, also probably aged heavily from such damage. His face in cutscenes is probably supposed to be his "final" look in game, however his design in the icon and his model in game tell us that he was supposed to be only disfigured but still young looking. This might also be the reason why so many NPC's you meet in SoC don't recognize him as Strelok, since if they truly met him face to face, he would look nothing like the young adventure seeker from before. Also kind of weird that in SoC cutscenes, he has a deeper voice but in Clear Sky he has a high pitched voice when talking. Maybe its from him being tired or talking to friends compared to anyone else? Finally in CoP we have our more aged and experienced Strelok who probably aged faster from combat, drugs (alcohol and cigs), and the stress of everyday living in the zone. Wonder if we see him in STALKER 2, and if he has aged more or has stayed the same.
Development of the Shoc was complicated and the story itself was all over the place. Cutscenes were made way before the actual game. You weren’t Strelok in Oblivion Lost, Strelok was an entirely a different character.
The man himself!!! Thank you brother I have officially been through almost every video you have posted. Me and my father played this together and now like you say it's all coming full circle with the trilogy on Xbox and stalker 2 so close.Thank you
Fang sounds unhinged ngl and i love him for it Like, imagine a crazy guy in exo swearing to himself while roaming the zone, casually raiding some old ass buildings looking for parts
Great analysis as always. The chronology of the group's activities and events related to it is one of the less precise elements of the lore, which is most likely the result of the fact that different developers worked on each part of the series, and they probably didn't know what it all was supposed to look like themselves. As for Guide, it's never really stated that he was a member of the group in any way. From what we know, he was only an acquaintance of Ghost, so it's quite possible that he never met Strelok before the events of SoC. In the original concept of the dialogue between Strelok and Degtyarev, which is included in one of the design documents of CoP, it's mentioned that Strelok was supposed to say that Guide was only a friend of Ghost, without implying that he himself is associated with him. One possible explanation for why Fang has a grave in Pripyat is that it was simply some other Fang who was buried there. Not all stalkers have unique nicknames, in the trilogy there are characters who share the same name but are different people, so it is possible that there was another Fang in the Zone. As for Fang's killer - it's worth noting that the idea of copies of stalkers created by the noosphere was a concept that was abandoned early in development, and even when it existed, it was not considered that Scar would be Fang's killer. The devs established that Scar wouldn't be the one to kill Fang long before the game's release, so the theories that it was a copy of Scar, or that there is even some cut content related to Fang's killing, don't make much sense if we follow the history of the prequel's development. Anyway, good video, we'll see if the new developers try to clarify some of these inconsistencies in Stalker 2.
If Strelok is truly gonna be in STALKER 2 (and we didn't end up with a look-alike), I wanna see if Strelok made a new group or if he would tell us more details about his former group mates. They definitely had a great friendship, like brothers. Maybe we will see Strelok paying his respects to the graves of both Fang and Ghost, or see the graves sometimes with items left by Strelok. (When we start modding STALKER 2 tho, someone gotta get that "press F to pay respects" animation for Ghost and Fangs graves)
Wonder if there are going to be Monolith stashes around with the X symbol around the Zone. And how of the stashes are going to be similar places, some graves count as stashes after all.
I can't believe I only found out about these games 3 years ago... and only started playing them when the Legends of the Zone pack released on Xbox... Good shit I have a nice PC, I'mma play STALKER 2 on that lil’ beast :) Thank you bro for the nice videos :)
Fang's death is really difficult... I'd like to believe hes buried in Pripiat tho, hauling an exoskeleton all the way there seems difficult, and it makes him kind of more of a chad locational wise to have you grave.
32:45 also I wonder what the guide means with "If you say who you are.. .you'll probably know" I feel like strelok didnt even tell him who he was but Guide knew and wanted to subtly jog his memory?
@@lennic It's possible Guide knew something was wrong with Strelok but it was dangerous to address it. You don't live long enough to be as experienced in the messed up universe of the Zone as Guide, and good at navigation in hostile territory as him, without a strong sense of intuition.
Why did I only see this video now when I was looking for your content? 42 minutes of STALKER lore, one of the best things when I create textures. Thanks!
This was a great one. To get all the info in one place like this was really helpful to get a better understanding. I also loved Strelok's voice in SoC. He just never sounded right in CS or CoP. Strelok also has the most manly hairline of a true man. I should know, I'm rocking that hairline myself.
playing through the trilogy right now and am glad to find this channel :) insta-subbed! I love the setting and want to discover all the little lore bits. I'm halfway through Clear Sky right now and it's pretty cool seeing Strelok's group from the outside. Thanks for this man
@@anomalousdugout9557 seriously, thank you so much for your wonderful content throughout the years. Personally, I've never felt closer to the community. Been watching for a long time and peep a video at least once a day. Thanks again, Anomalous ✌️
Its just crazy how the army in Call of Prypiat just forget the crimes the Strelok did in Shadow of Chernobyl, the main thing killing the army forces in agroprom.
@@Brandelwyn And no documentation. The military running the raid on the Loner camp weren't recording anything, and for all we know there is no electronic surveillance in the base with the documents. Plus, it's entirely possible in-game to sneak in and out with the documents without killing anyone, or even being noticed at all.
A long, absorbing and interesting film, the best I've ever seen in your work, I didn't think the creators messed up this part of the plot so much, it's hard to put it together. I learned some new things and thank you very much for this video... Good job and keep it up, best regards
27:33 The body stayed, buried, and his gear went on with his fellow men, like once said, "Take care of Shooter and Shooter takes care of you", his upgraded Deagle and VSS lending saving graces to comrades, as him in spirit, to then be stashed later on a homage tomb, with a pharaonic's load of meds, artifacts and etc.
Well, Marked One's task on PDA can only be explained that Marked One is indeed a copy and the real Strelok is out there and maybe still holds the secrets about the Zone but has to stay low because he might have discovered the fake double and it could be not wise to show up...
my theory was that he was mistakenly sent to kill Strelok and it should have been Ghost as he was just as dangerous and still alive. Also explains why its Ghosts picture in the task description.
I have a theory as to why the notes left in the stashes might seem contradictory. If Strelock, Ghost, and Fang actually met up, or at least got close enough for radio contact, they might have made plans that rendered the notes obsolete. That might be why they don't seem to make any sense, based on the behavior and actions we know they took. Just a thought.
I think all four of Streloks photos shown actually still look like him, but it almost appears as if he is aging rapidly compared to the short time spanned between the photos. This itself could open a can of theories, from the artefacts changing him, to simply the wear and tear The Zone will do to a person over years worth of time inside, so on. In the SoC photo, you can see Strelok looks almost young and innocent-ish, like a proper rookie I guess. In the following photos there is of course some artistic discrepency and design alterations but the face still resembles the same person. In the fourth photo, it looks as if Strelok aged 10-20 years and is weathered, scarred, old and wise. The timelapse of the photos could be seen as simply the man being changed over time. From The Zone and anomalies and artefacts, to aging itself, injuries sustained over time. The journey itself. All in all I dont find the photo differences very suspicious of speculation in a deeper way, simply some minor artistic changes over time but still resembling Strelok perfectly fine. Thats just how I see it anyway, just wanted to share and see what anyone else thinks.
I wonder about those Clear Sky predictions about another great emission. They said that if Strelok would reach the Sarcophagus, another such emission would eradicate all life in the Zone, but during events of the game, it happened even after Scar fried his psy helmet. So were CS predictions wrong, or did their involvement actually saved people in the Zone?
@@anomalousdugout9557 As of writing we are 45 days untill stalker 2. Meaining you can watch this video 1542.85714286 times untill stalker 2 comes out. Meaining you could have watched this video 35 times.
Perhaps the decode confusion thing is just the result of bad wording? Perhaps Strelok is saying to Ghost that Fang put together one decode and Ghost is saying that Fang put together 2 other decoders? That would explain the third decoder in Prypiat.
@anomalousdugout9557 Hope you notice that comment. Already posted that 2 times, but i'll repost as an individual comment. I found an interesting detail. Fang from Streloks group is known to burr a lot in his speech. If you listen closely to a dialogue of unknown man in black and Skif in the "Official Gameplay Trailer" you can CLEARLY hear, that he burrs in his speech, also he said that Zone give him a new life. Probably, just a theory, it's resurrected Fang. In English version of the game Barkeep says that Fang spoke with a lisp, but in the Russian version Barkeep says that Fang burrs, what means pronouncing "r" softly with the back of the tongue. I am native russian speaker, so it was quite unexpected to hear.
@@anomalousdugout9557 Sorry for spamming, it was 4 in the morning, lol, for some reason i thought it would be missed in the barrage of all of other comment. My apologiez.
This video helped me a lot making the story video about ghost and vasilievs final mission I tagged you in it i hope you get the chance to check it out someday!
Maybe the guy on the photo in “kill strelok” part is not strelok but actually fang? How this photo appeared on marked one’s pda? Somebody put it there? Maybe it is the same photo killers of fang used to identify the target?
Because Shadow of Chernobyl was the first game, and it had a very difficult development stage. They designed a game for years, and then erased the majority of the project and started over again. The story of Shadow of Chernobyl is shallow and there are so many questions, that’s the reason. You can think of it as Sakharov used to saw so many people that he is not good at remembering peoples faces or Strelok had a mask on in Shadow of Chernobyl.
I like Call of Pripyat but it seems out of place sometimes in terms of the lore and even the setting. I am wondering if it was just bad writing on the developers' side that cause the conflicting info about Strelok's group.
This is my last Lore video before the blowout of September 5. Back in 2020, my first real Lore video was about Strelok, so we've come full circle.
Thank you to all the stalkers who followed me through this journey. I'll see you in the Zone after the release.
Bruh nah I love your videos bro atleast upload something else like stalker but same hidden thing facts etc
ruclips.net/video/cfmhfDvOyP0/видео.htmlsi=M9KV3flJqYO6TgGl&t=280
You deserve the break! Because it would be extra awesome playing the game and then watching your lore stuff after release!
@@Rongaming3065he's a STALKER channel - nothing more, nothing less.
man it will be sad to not hear that voice and that classic intro 'welcome stalker to the anomalous dugout
To explain Sakharov not remembering Strelok, you can hear a wavering certainty in the way he addresses the player in SoC with "Hello?... Hello."
Interesting.
Strelok also looks kinda different after his second expedition, being all f up and all that
The easiest explanation is that Strelok was simply wearing a mask or hood for every encounter he had with Sakharov, making him difficult to recognize.
@@guidelamp4025 do you think he talked telepathically?
@@mrzirak792 I don't see why he would have to. Every gas mask out there allows the wearer to speak.
This video is something everyone secretly needed and a great one as we get closer to the launch of STALKER 2
I hope it helps.
Exactly what I searched for
Degtyarev was a former stalker before joining the rank of military stalkers so maybe that time he knew or heard something about Strelok
Let's be honest everyone I'm and his mama in the zone know about strelok especially after clear sky events
@@khaledomar6019 agree everyone knows about him cause he is a legend in the zone
Yeah maybe.
he was?
@@templarknightac yeah
He was chosen for this investigation because of the skills he gathered
And in CoP intro the story teller tells us that he was a stalker and after awhile he became a Military Stalker(stalkers that are trusted by the military and carry out task deeper in the zone where military is not exactly welcomed but everybody in the zone affraid of military stalkers)
Press F for Ghost, Ghost was a true friend.
What a way to end off the OG lore series before the next big thing comes. Always watched and appreciated your videos. They're truly unique. Thank you.
Thank you my friend.
You forgot about the famous stalker Laundry Laundryov. He was apart of Strelok’s group from the start and did Strelok’s Laundry while he was storming the CNPP.
How people always forget about him really shows how prevalent the Mandela affect is nowadays.
lmao
How could I forget?
You forgot his middle name. His full name would be Laundry "Laundromat" Laundryov, and hes rumored to say "i dont trust you" if you approach the laundromat under specific conditions
Theres also Streloks dish washer, "Dishevko Dishes". Prior to the first trip he would travel with the group and do their dishes.
Infact,he's why strelok went to the laundromat in call of pripyat; to pick up soap and other goodies for him to be able to wash his clothes.
What if Ghost and Fang successfully defeated the ambush at the warehouses, including the third merc? By now they were getting paranoid with other groups following them, including this latest set up, so they decided to send misinformation that the ambush was partially successful and Fang had died. Ghost and Fang buried one of the mercs (perhaps the scarred one) and labelled the grave Fang. Faking Fang's death would be a good way of stopping others from tracking him.

I mean stalker 2 story will happen after ten years so he will age for sure
Yes, could be the case.
Development of the Shoc was complicated and the story itself was all over the place. Cutscenes were made way before the actual game. You weren’t Strelok in Oblivion Lost, Strelok was an entirely a different character.
Also, Strelok in Clear sky uses a regular Loner NPC model. He maybe never took off his gas mask when around Sakharov
@@OXY187 no it was still you, except you werent called the marked one, but messer ("knife" in german)
The zone's most infamous group is now debunked.

Hope you notice that comment. Already posted that 2 times, but i'll repost as an individual comment.
I found an interesting detail. Fang from Streloks group is known to burr a lot in his speech. If you listen closely to a dialogue of unknown man in black and Skif in the "Official Gameplay Trailer" you can CLEARLY hear, that he burrs in his speech, also he said that Zone give him a new life. Probably, just a theory, it's resurrected Fang.
In English version of the game Barkeep says that Fang spoke with a lisp, but in the Russian version Barkeep says that Fang burrs, what means pronouncing "r" softly with the back of the tongue.
I am native russian speaker, so it was quite unexpected to hear.
Yes I saw your comment, sorry if I did not respond yet. It's a very interesting detail you noticed, thank you for sharing!
@@anomalousdugout9557 Sorry for spamming, it was 4 in the morning, lol, for some reason i thought it would be missed in the barrage of all of other comment. My apologiez.
Also worth noting is that strelok's balls appear to of dropped between clear sky and shadow of Chernobyl judging from his voices difference.
🤣
10/10 stalker 🔥
Thanks!
Always sad he wasn't named Strelak, being it would be an Anagram of Stalker.
How u gonna drop a gem at 3am❤❤❤
I do what I can :)
This video helped me a lot making the story video about ghost and vasilievs final mission I tagged you in it i hope you get the chance to check it out someday!
Good video bro
Thanks.
Another banger
Thanks.
Maybe the guy on the photo in “kill strelok” part is not strelok but actually fang? How this photo appeared on marked one’s pda? Somebody put it there? Maybe it is the same photo killers of fang used to identify the target?
Its Ghost, actually
Wake up babe! New Anomalous Dugout vid just dropped! ❤️
Yes.
Arrow is strela (стрела), though, strelok is more of a shooter\sharpshooter kinda name
The Representative's voice actor is the same Lebedev's voice actor xD
In the English version yeah.
36:00
You got a ping
Indeed.
Ghost was a legend
Rip ghost 😔
Let's drink to him once more, he was a good stalker.
strelok has a ton of luck that monolith's programming was so weak otherwise he would shoot himself the second he learned that HE was his target
Soon as I seen the video I clicked.
Thank you.
One thing I never understood is if Strelok already met Sakharov in Clear Sky, how come he didn't recognize him in Shadow of Chernobyl?
It's a mystery...
Simple ....
Sakharov is senile
Because Shadow of Chernobyl was the first game, and it had a very difficult development stage. They designed a game for years, and then erased the majority of the project and started over again. The story of Shadow of Chernobyl is shallow and there are so many questions, that’s the reason. You can think of it as Sakharov used to saw so many people that he is not good at remembering peoples faces or Strelok had a mask on in Shadow of Chernobyl.
1. Strelok wore a mask
2. He was pretty messed up after the first journey
Any newbie Xbox homies looking into to the lore after finally getting to play this game?
T.H.E.G.O.A.T
:)
super vidéo, mais ducoup si la conscience collective est détruite les monolith il va leurs arrivée quoi ?
On va très vite le savoir avec la sortie du prochain opus.
@@anomalousdugout9557 trop hâte
I like Call of Pripyat but it seems out of place sometimes in terms of the lore and even the setting. I am wondering if it was just bad writing on the developers' side that cause the conflicting info about Strelok's group.
Yes it's weird in some places.
Call of Prioyat is story focused. Clear Sky is gameplay focused. Shadow of Chernobyl is focused on the world itself.
Yeah, many developers left by that time to work in 4A, IIRC. Explains why CoP lacks that grim atmosphere, too.

🤣
Strealok is also Rifleman in Russian rank I think
Correct, Ive got that in my military ID
Shot just two or three times in a whole year, though, lol
Sorry, strelok is not arrow. Definitely translates to "shooter". Maybe also "marksman". But not arrow.
I guess it's a wrong translation but I've seen it being used.
Gunslinger. The original name of Strelok in Oblivion Lost.
Polycule.
Ok.
