The Detention Center is a must-visit spot in Stalker 2. It’s where you’ll find cool stuff, like the Hypercube artifact. This place looks old and rusty, but it’s packed with loot. I remember my first time there; I felt like a treasure hunter in a crumbling castle.

Step 1: Unlock the Basement
You can’t just waltz into the basement. It’s locked tight! When you’re on the mission “Answers Come At A Price,” you’ll meet Star and get a Silenced Pistol. After that, you can start exploring.
- Use the second doorway on the right side of the building to enter through the east wing.
- Check out the small office. Look inside that wooden desk; you’ll find the Heavy Key there.
- With the Heavy Key, head downstairs to unlock that barred gate and step into the basement.
Once you’re in the basement, there are burner anomalies everywhere. Here’s how to grab those artifacts:
- Equip the Bolt and Artifact Detector.
- Throw a bolt helps you see where those nasty anomalies are lurking.
- Listen for beeps of your detector will guide you to the artifacts.
Step 3: Collect Artifacts
In one room, there’s a fire variant of the Poltergeist waiting for you. It can be tough, but finding a safe spot makes it easier to take it down quickly. Afterward, check out the dead body nearby; it holds a key for another locked room on the first floor.
- Find the Hypercube in the room next to that body.
- Make sure to leave the basement without getting fried by anomalies.
Step 4: Get Mother’s Beads
To snag the Mother’s Beads artifact, come back after an Emission event. Use your earlier strategy again, and you’ll get it this time! This journey through the Detention Center is full of surprises and challenges. With these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to tackle whatever comes your way!
