"Stalker 2: Unlocking the Brain Scorcher Door"

The Brain Scorcher is an iconic landmark within the Stalker universe, and its presence is felt in the sequel, *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. As you explore this eerie location in the Malachite region's northern part, you'll come across a Tamper-Proof Stash hidden in a warehouse. Although the warehouse's door is locked and cannot be opened with a key, there's a clever workaround involving some agile maneuvering around the Brain Scorcher itself. Let's dive into how you can access this locked area.

How to Open the Brain Scorcher Locked Door in Stalker 2

Upon reaching the Brain Scorcher in *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, you'll notice the Tamper-Proof Stash marked on your map. Follow the marker to the warehouse with the locked door. However, the main entrance isn't the key to getting inside. Here's how you can access the warehouse:

  1. Start by heading left around the warehouse and ascend the orange stairs until you reach some stacked boxes.
  2. Utilize these boxes to leap over the containers on your right, then navigate to the next set of containers.
  3. From this point, jump over the crane to your right and continue running past it until you reach the end.
  4. Descend onto the containers below and follow a zigzag path until you find an opening at the back of the warehouse to enter.

Once inside, remain vigilant for trip mines scattered along the path to the Tamper-Proof Stash. Carefully disarm these hazards as you make your way to the front of the warehouse.

Looting the Stash & Exiting the Brain Scorcher Warehouse

At the front of the warehouse, you'll discover the Tamper-Proof Stash, which is essentially an already-unlocked safe. Feel free to take all the valuable resources such as ammo, medkits, and other consumables from it. After securing your loot, it's time to exit the warehouse.

To unlock the Brain Scorcher warehouse door, head right from the power panel and move further down the warehouse. Look for a generator amidst some boxes on the ground. Turn it on to restore power. Once the power is back, return to the power panel near the entrance and flip the switch to open the door, allowing you to exit safely.
