@@anzack2551maybe because I know he personally tells you but I also found a ward npc who was part of that squad who survived and tells you everyone else didn’t. The ward went there when the zone started and where the first monolithians.
@anzack2551 They were elite squad to guard those top tier scientists as part of X-Project. Then C-Consciousness decided to mess with Noospere and second disaster happened. You better side with Ward first to listen what Colonel have to say and then on a new game proceed with Skiff ending. There you can find alot of documents from Kaymanov about same event.
It's a retcon, originally "the group" was secretive and c consciousness didn't use PMCs or the government for protection because they didn't want anyone to know about their operation. The only people who were protecting them later, around 2011 were the monolith fanatics
For me when faust showed the way he viewed the world, i never knew there was a visual for it, because the game bugged and gave me a black screen during that part so i just thought it was showing me hes just blind lol
@@dsneezit9307 Lol, when Strelok makes us sit on the chair, my tvs were all white, and the dialogue was going on and i was like ??? huh Then i see this video, now i get it lol
They messed up by retconing granite as the first monolithians Originally the lab X7 was the monolith control center in SoC and it was located in the power plant, there was an elite unit protecting it called Crystal. But in the trilogy, the first monolithians appeared right before the events of CS, they were normal stalkers with strange beliefs, not aggressive fanatics, and they had a misfortune of threading near the radar area which destroyed their minds and created the first fanatics
I’ve been thinking about how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2’s concept of merging minds to communicate with the noosphere ties into Carl Jung’s work, especially his idea of the collective unconscious. It feels like the noosphere could represent a kind of shared mental realm, but what if it’s not a singular collective unconscious? What if it’s more like “pocketed” collective unconsciousness localized or fragmented pools of thought shaped by specific groups, environments, or even individual experiences? Jung’s ideas on archetypes and the collective unconscious seem like a natural fit here. The noosphere might act as a repository for these universal patterns, but if it’s fragmented, each “pocket” could represent different archetypal themes depending on the influences shaping it. For example, one area dominated by fear might create apocalyptic imagery, while another, shaped by a need for control, could manifest as order or tyranny. It also makes me think of Jung’s concept of the Shadow. Connecting to the noosphere in the game might expose individuals to the darker, chaotic side of the collective unconscious, which could explain the madness and mutations tied to it. It’s almost like these experiments create their own isolated psyches, amplifying fears, desires, or traumas into something tangible. This idea of fragmented or localized noosphere realms adds so much depth it makes me wonder if these “pockets” could also influence the kinds of anomalies we encounter in the game. It’d be wild if each pocket represented its own unique set of phenomena based on the collective psyche of the minds merged into it.
Got much more planned going into 2025! Mutants I will do I just need to find a way to make sure they 100% spawn or have the specific locations for footage. Bases and locations is a great idea
Amazing video! I’ve been liking these videos because of how in depth these are, plus your narration is great! You should talk about Clear Sky and Renegades
@@Mike-np7huthey had around 9 years of peace they could have used to get help from more powerful factions in exchange for their knowledge about the center, their leadership failed them
@@Chud-mb7glName a single faction that would willingly help a former Monolith. Literally EVERYONE says do not trust Monolith. Do not trust Noontide. It's a nice sentiment to say they could have just sought help, but that's blatantly false. No one would help them, especially not the Government. Noontide was guilty with no chance of being proven innocent in the eyes of all other groups. They were basically forced into the Wild Island cage and BARELY tolerated by other groups. They were alone.
@@aleksejjovanovic986 Renegades are extinct,just like clear sky. Clear sky might have existed for a while after 2011's giant emission (the squads that didnt go to the CNPP,and whoever the hell managed to run back into the catacombs when the emission occured),but without leadership they were quick to disband
@ @ All that is just hearsay, them all being wiped out. Lebedev was one of original scientists and we know very little about Renegades, we know nothing about their leadership but they knew everything about Lebedev and Clear Sky and they did their best to stop them go further. So in theory they just might be around with their whole leadership that we never seen so far. My theory is that their leaders, whoever they are also had something to do with scientists and Lebedev and they probably revolted and tried to stop the whole thing, were cast out probably, therefor the name Renegades. There is whole lot more to that faction than we know. If Renegades and Clear Sky are out from Stalker 2 its BS if you ask me.
Spoiler for STALKER 2: I really wish the devs add a new ending where we fully side with Noontide and save them. All 4 endings we have now are wildly unsatisfactory imo.
The potato anomaly. It may look like a regular potato but this thing can single handedly handle the processing power demands and of an entire military installation.

Spoiler Warning: It is honestly terribly sad that Strider just doesn’t get a happy ending at all, the happiest ending for him is just not knowing what happened
5:11 What if someone wished for something totally normal like, "I want to own my own restaurant." Or what if someone wished to become a FLESHPIG?! 6:04 That's idolatry, yo! I NEVER let a Monolith goon live, and I won't tolerate any attempt to "humanize" them. 24:41 Kinda Matrix-like.
Imma bout to drop the entire story line of Miltilda alright it’s set in 2024 and Matilda. adopted by her biological parents,after giving Natural birth. Her father would misplace the documents of Matilda and a 1974 Chevy. She will later become he and will under go certain changes at the age of 47 still in middle school making sure they can get all the knowledge. She gets transferred to an adult preschool. The principal Magnus is a senior and has a special interest that goes beyond that of the school…. And then with the help of Rodrick from captain underpants. They have to stop Hitler from making a Time Machine.
Hope you guys enjoyed this Stalker video. Plenty more to come soon! Let me know who you want next, I’m thinking we look at some Loners
I dropped the entire plot line of Bonny and Clyde, go back to Germany. But it’s 2024?!?!?
Thank you Oh Monolith for revealing the cunning plans of yours enemies to us, Blessed be the Fallen Brothers in eternal communion with the Monolith.
Za Monolit
@@brandedtexas5599 Za monolith!
All hail the monolith

Hail monolith
Also worth mention that according to Col. Korshunov his Granit squad was first to become Monolith and only he survived thanks to his psi protection.
Does siding with the Ward explain how Korshunov and his men were in the Zone so early?
@@anzack2551maybe because I know he personally tells you but I also found a ward npc who was part of that squad who survived and tells you everyone else didn’t. The ward went there when the zone started and where the first monolithians.

Strider 😢 shit was tragic
I felt bad for noontide. They got their free will back then get brainwashed again.
@@maximghost1800 Exactly. They got their free will just for it to shatter so easily

FOR THE MONOLITH! my favorite faction. hope we get a warfare mod soon so i can take over the zone
Warfare mod is so fun. I hope Renegades will be playable but i will probably never get the chance to play with them.

Agreed
Let me as a side quest hunt down and restore noon tide
The Zone isn't known for granting our wishes the way we would like them.
It's hard to expect to play a stalker game without fighting monolithians, I knew from the start that they would somehow turn against us
Those who are in eternal union with the Monolith can never be stopped.
First! Love the content wise. You are #1 on my wrapped
Think you were 2nd my dude 😂 but I massively appreciate it
Love your videos man keep em coming
What did you capture this footage with? Its the best I’ve ever seen!

Praise the Monolith, children.
Something tells me, if I had full freedom in stalker 2... I'd be able to successfully plan a monolith capture. Many would call me sick but it works
