1. Prologue. Chelomey
Atomic Heart. Guide, tips, secrets
- We’ll get some sleep in the next world.
Difficulties: 1) Peaceful atom, 2) Local failure, 3) Armageddon.
We’re sailing along the canal in a boat. A voice from the glove will tell us about the Chelomey complex. A drone will fly up and offer us a soda; we can accept or decline. Sechenov will contact us and tell us to report to the lab.
On the shore, we head toward the parade on the right. Along the way, a scientist offers personal “Thought” devices; we can take them, but they won’t work on us because of the HRAZ glove. At the Soyuzpechat kiosk, we can chat with the robot saleswoman on a few topics. In the alley, we can buy soda and ice cream.
“Hello, Hello” achievement . Walk along the shore until you reach the dead end, where there’s a fenced-in cafe. Turn left toward the fountain, and next to it, enter the payphone and make a phone call.
We head to the memorial with its monuments. Important dates from the alternate universe are inscribed around them. In 1942, the enemy unleashed a deadly virus, the Brown Plague, which killed almost all of humanity. A year later, Enterprise 3826 was created, accelerating the development of all sciences and creating the “Collective 1.0” neural network.
We enter the building, take the capsule, and add the scanner function to the glove. Using a hand gesture, we can inspect objects behind walls (press Alt).
Achievement “Analyzer” . Scan all enemy and boss types.
We exit the lab on the other side. A parade will begin below. We go to the main building and take the elevator to Sechenov’s office. We learn that in two days, on June 13, 1955, the “Collective 2.0” network will be launched. In the office, the twin robots will hand us a car key. We go back down to the street and get into the “Turbine.”
The robot will pick us up and carry us through the air. We’ll see that there are many cities on air islands around. On the ground, we’ll inspect large buildings. Suddenly, another robot will shoot us down. We’ll land at a factory, where robots will attack us. We’ll hide in the capsule. The robot girl will protect us, but she’ll die.
2. Vavilov Complex
Atomic Heart. Walkthrough gamesisart.ru
- Complex
We wake up after the capsule crashes. There’s a Swedish axe in the ground nearby ; we pull it. Sechenov will tell us that the robots have been hacked by the traitor Viktor Petrov. We need to find the traitor and deliver him to our superior.
We head to the entrance to the complex. There are robots in the way; we fight them off with an axe. Nearby is a large blob of polymer; you can swim in it in any direction.
We explore the toilet; a robot attacks us, but Baba Zina, wielding a pitchfork, neutralizes it. A reconnaissance robot spots us. The old woman starts firing at the flying robots with a machine gun. An explosion knocks us back, and we take the elevator down to the underground complex.
- I’m in deep trouble, damn…
In the Vavilov Complex, you need to find the valve for the door. Search all the nearby cabinets. Look for yellow marks on the furniture, and then move up to the floor above. Take the valve. Near the valve is a round “Twitter” clock (1) —an audio recording; there are 73 of them in the game. Return and unlock the doors. The person behind the door will be dragged away by steel tentacles.
- Viktor Petrov. Find and neutralize
We take the KS-23 shotgun , but we’re low on ammo. To the right is a safe room where you can save manually. A powerful robot will attack from the left; avoid its attacks and attack with an axe. In the side room, search the lockers to find the entry “Tough Granny” (2) . Examine the OS Demos computer; there are four messages inside.
In the room to the right, a robot is standing with its back turned. Sneak up behind it (Ctrl), disable it through the hole in its back (F, quickly press E). Near the dead man, there’s a note saying, “Had some tea, friend…” (3) . On another computer, “Pear,” there are two messages, then three more.
In the hallway, we pick the lock: move the mouse left or right, looking for the right spot to open it. There are cabinets and a robot in the rooms.
The main corridor leads to the left, where three robots will attack. It’s difficult to defeat them all at once in close combat; you’ll need to either kill at least one stealthily or waste shotgun shells on them. You can heal yourself with first aid kits (X) during combat. In the center of the corridor, on a table, is a note that reads, “There are no atheists in war” (4) . Examine the restroom on the left; in the left stall, there’s a note that says, “Love, Death, and Robots” (5) . Examine the locked door on the right.
- Another obstacle
Ahead, beyond the doors, we’ll see a huge mechanical worm. It’ll pass between the floors, and we’ll fall. We’ll wake up next to a girl named Larisa, helping her save a dying soldier.
Boss: VOV-A6/CH “Laboratory .” A robot will burst in and fire a laser. Engage it in close combat in the corridor. Dodge the lasers to the side. Attack with the axe, dodge, repeat.
Viktor Petrov. Find and neutralize (2)
We hack the electronic lock on the door: the lights randomly light up in a circle, and we need to click our fingers at the right time to close all the side panels. After clicking, the lights switch to the other direction and gradually speed up.
We proceed down the corridor to the save room. Inside is a red “Eleanor” assault rifle; it will grab us with its tentacles. Use the glove to disable it. After defeating it, we can use the rifle to upgrade our skills and weapons. We’ll spend the neuropolymer resource to gain the “Shocker” skill .
Ahead, behind the doors, we search the crate to find “Arrogant Vovchiki” (6) . To the right, in the dead end, we collect resources. To the left, we return to the elevators.
- Not so fast, Major.
We need to power the elevator. Head to the red door; it has a lock that requires a special key. At the landing, head up one floor. Along the way, there are “Romashka” security cameras; you can disable them with a shock or destroy them with gunfire.
We’re looking for the key to the utility room in the Administration building. It’s in a room with several bodies, in a corner chest of drawers. In the adjacent identical room is “Monday Starts on Saturday” (7) . There are three messages on the computer.
We return down to the lock and insert the cookie key. The room contains resources, ammo, and two messages. On the wall, we need to hack the “passive safety relay.” We need to rotate the red circles correctly so that the red beams on the right hit the red lamps on the left. Move the blue beam down so that it hits the blue bulb.
We go into the elevator, go up to the top floor, jump over the gap, and jump to the right. We’ll return to where we fell. In the hallway, use Shock (V) on the radiator above the folding door.
Viktor Petrov. Find and neutralize (3)
In the left room are computers, 3+2 messages, and a tape recorder. There are three robots in the main corridor; it’s best to eliminate them quietly. In the next room on the left is a crafting machine.
We follow the line of minecarts, avoiding the round booths. In the gap on the left, swim into the polymer and through the tunnel. At the exit is Fox’s Axe and a save room.
We examine the lock with the lights; it requires a password. Nearby, shoot at the ceiling to open the folding door. We proceed to the dead end and find a hint with the password near a body. We hear some of the dead bodies talking, using the neuropolymer in their heads. Return to the lock and draw the password as shown on the hint: a diamond in the upper left corner .
In the cabin, press the button to turn on the cable car. Nearby, in the corridor, near the round screen, examine a dead body (1) . We can listen to its thoughts using polymer; for all the talking bodies in the game, we’ll get an achievement. We get into the round cabin and head down. Someone will shoot us down with a laser.
At the drop site, fight off two robots. Climb up the yellow pipe and jump onto the bars on the right. You’ll see a large mechanical worm ahead. Don’t move forward until it drills past you. Don’t stand near the white walls; the worm will emerge from them. Fight off the black robot. Make your way through the lower left hole.
There’s a dead technician (2) in the utility room . Climb into the hatch under the ceiling and return to the funicular tunnel through the vent. Continue to the next stop and save your game.
There’s a laser wall on the way. We’ll see a man die on it. In the side room, there’s a computer with four messages. We go to the crafting machine and buy the “Eleanor’s Kiss” skill . We run with shift. We’ll be able to cross the lasers, take damage, but survive.
- Hot on the trail
We’ll see Petrov in the hall and overhear his conversation with Filatova. We’ll try to grab him, but he’ll unleash two flying drones on us. Three robots will come running from below.
After the fight, we learn that we need the “Candle” key to open the door. We go downstairs in the hall and examine the electric birch tree; in front of it is the “Employee Memo” (8) . We climb up to another balcony. Upstairs, we search the office, a dead body (3) , climb through the round hatch on the wall, and into the ventilation. We pick the timer lock. On the floor near the seated body, we find a Makarov PM pistol . We take the “Candle” glowing ball; on the table nearby is “Psychologist’s Note: Petrov” (9) . We carry the ball to the adjacent balcony and unlock the door.
There are malfunctioning forklift robots in the room; we avoid them. There’s a report on the computer. A forklift is lifting boxes in the doorway; we run under it just in time.
There are many mobile forklifts in the warehouse. To the left of the entrance is a save room with the “Electric EMI Generator” blueprint inside. In the far left corner of the warehouse, climb the pile of crates, stop the forklift with a shock, jump onto its crate, and dash into the polymer under the ceiling. Alternatively, you can jump along the tops of the cabinets to the polymer. Swim to the upper office. Inspect the shelves and find the note “Soon we won’t need it…” (10) .
We fight one robot near the shelves, and a second one will approach a little later. Near the round window, shoot the video camera. In the central room, there’s a lock where you need to insert three capsules containing lunar soil.
1st capsule at the entrance where we met the enemy.
Second capsule. Go to the side room, enter the polymer chamber, and press the button on the other side. In the office, you’ll find the “Electro” blueprint . The capsule is in the crafting machine. Use the blueprint to create an energy weapon that doesn’t require ammo. Exit through the ventilation hatch.
The third capsule is lying in the ventilation path. We’ll install them all.
We’re going through the Seed Bank. There’s a save point on the right. From there, head forward where the robot is circling. Climb over the boxes on the right and grab the PM pistol . In the warehouse, climb over the boxes; right behind them is a firing cannon. Further on, there’s another cannon, four robots, and flying drones. You need to shoot all the drones from afar until they’re gone, then destroy the remaining enemies and climb over the boxes.
We take the elevator up. There’s a video camera at the exit. We go into the room, inside is the “PM Ammo” blueprint and a save.
Beyond the room, there are two paths: on the left, along the platforms, and on the right, along the wall. Both lead to a building with a cable. Go right, climb up the boxes and platforms, and along the right wall. You’ll find the “Fire Cassette” blueprint . Jump down to the catwalks below. Ahead is a robot, a machine gun, and the “Medium Capsule” blueprint . Pick the lock with the timer. Beyond the room, climb up the forklift and slide down the inclined cable from the roof.
We descend into the warehouse behind the fence. From this side, you can unlock the lock with a timer on the fence. On the adjacent fence, there’s a lock with colored dots. Here, we rotate the three highlighted circles (LMB) and the entire circle (Q). You need to move the red and blue dots opposite the identical side elements.
After the third lock, climb up the fallen panels. At the top, grab the yellow handles on the wall and jump to the handles on the right. Grab the chest at the top. Jump down into the pit with the polymer.
We’ll find ourselves in the lower warehouse on the other side. We pick the lock on the fence. In the corner, we examine the body; in front of it is a note reading, “So Who’s Brainless Now?” (11) . It’s Petrov, decapitated by robots. We take the “Candle” from him. We carry the ball through the warehouse and insert it into the column near the “Beryozka PC-4.” We take the second “Candle” from the lock above and insert it into the second column.
3. Birch
Atomic Heart. Steam, PS5, Xbox. Russian version, video
- In an overgrown park…
The doors won’t open until we turn on the birch tree. To do that, we’ll need to find four flasks in different workshops. On the first floor, a door has opened near the flickering light; go through it. In the corridors to the left, there’s a “Dynamo” blueprint and a save. You can take the flasks in any order; each one has its own task.
- Race against time
Algotsekh. We’ll see new “kultysh” monsters outside the windows. These are people with a plant in their heads. It’s best to aim for their heads. Press the button to unlock the wide corridor. There are two side rooms here, each with two monsters. In the corridor itself, there are two monsters. Around the corner to the right is a dead end and a dead body (4) . Around the corner to the left, unlock the lock with the dots.
Outside the window, we’ll see a large ball-shaped robot called “Hedgehog.” To the left is a save room with the “Electric Cassette” blueprint . Jump down into the room, across the polymer. There are three robots on the upper platform. On the central platform, take the empty capsule; there’s a chatty corpse lying nearby (5) . Jump the gap between the platforms or climb another ladder. The capsule isn’t there, so insert the empty one. “That’s not Vova – that’s Mario” (12) is on a crate nearby . Below are three more robots. Swim up the polymer, where there’s a save.
At the top platform, press the save button, board the suspended elevator, ride along the rails, and start the motor with a shock at each point. Shoot down the flying drones.
- Restart
The elevator will stop. Jump onto the balcony on the right and solve the beam puzzle on the wall. Two robots will attack. Solution: raise the blue beam up to the center and lower the fork into the center. Continue riding the platform, charging two more motors.
- And everything became illuminated
We go back downstairs and pick up the flask with the polymer. We go down another corridor. There’s a safe room on the way, with “Smoker Problem Solving” (13) on some boxes near it . In the next room on the left are two monsters. On the tables, look for the note “Now we’ve had enough…” (14) . We insert the flask near the birch tree.
- “They want to green Mars.”
Hot shop. We go into the next corridor, up the stairs. In the room on the right there are three recordings. We crawl through the hole in the wall. We go down to the boiler room. We pick the lock with the timer; behind it is the way back. We go down the landing.
- Into the thick of it
Downstairs, you need to cool down three boilers. Kill three robots. Take the blue “cryogenic element” ball from the round pipe. In the next room, launch the ball into the open end of the glass pipe. Two robots are nearby. On the central table is “Temporary Difficulties 02/02” (15) .
In the hall, we examine the glass pipes, pull a ball from a distance, and guide it through the labyrinth to the cauldron. We throw two more balls into the pipe and guide them along other routes. New robots will emerge constantly.
You need to pick up a flask of heat-resistant polymer. Return up the stairs and save. On the fourth floor, turn right from the stairs, then left, and pick up “Temporary Difficulties 01/02” (16) from the box .
We enter the red hall. We stand on the forklift robot’s pallet, wait for it to rise twice, and then jump onto the platform. We climb up the boxes, jump, and pick up the flask. Near it, on the floor, is a “Hurrah for the Steelworkers!” (17) . We return to the birch tree.
In an overgrown park… (2)
Cold shop. In the second corridor, go right. Use the glove to push the magnetic door in your way. You’ll see several plant and animal mutants. In the corridor, examine a chatty corpse (6) . There are four messages and audio recordings on the computer. In the corner in front of the hatch lies a dead body (7) . Climb into the ventilation hatch.
In the room, examine the table in front of the aquarium with the cow; you’ll find the recording “Medicine” (18) . Kill the flying plant and the clot on the flask. There’s a video camera on the right wall. Three robots will attack. There’s another video camera above the tank. Climb through the hatch nearby.
There are capsules with mutant animals in the hall. A computer in the center shows nine cells. Turn all the valves until all the cells turn green. Solution: turn all the valves to the right . If a valve turns left, turn it again. All the animals will die and be converted into polymer. Go through the blue door; there’s a save at the side.
- March of Flowers
We need to power the cold room. There are several robots among the hydroponic beds. We go to the stairs; there’s a body across from it, and next to it is “Agricultural Games Club” (19) . In the room above, we solve the laser puzzle on the wall: the blue beam goes to the center, the fork goes to the center.
Press the red button, and the lights in the room will turn on. The drones will turn the lights off again. Clear the room of enemies, shock the red circles on the ceiling, and restart the lights.
Achievement “Assimilation Incomplete .” In the hall, sprouts will begin to inhabit dead bodies. Wait until a sprout inhabits the body’s head, then kill it before it wakes up.
After the flask is full, we return to the control room. We take the flask and return to the birch tree. We jump down through the round hatch with the pipe. There are three robots below, four more a little further on, including a black robot. We unlock the lock with the timer. (Or you can go through the round hatch behind the boxes, crawl between the walls along the beams on the wall, and climb up to the pipe.)
- What goes around comes around
Pesticide workshop. A scientist will attack us outside the doors; disarm him. He’ll explain that we need to destroy a giant hogweed plant here. Let’s go look for a yellow canister with a PA-400. Head along the bridge; there’s a save room ahead on the right.
At the top is a control panel for rotating the platform with the rails. In the corner near the stairs is “Observation Log 01/04. Buzz! You’re in the way!” (20) . We go down and shoot the nests on the walls. Where the rails lead into the green wall lies a dead florist (8) . The entire train car turns out to be a can. We go up, there’s a save and a lock.
Above the milk can, jump to the adjacent platform. Use the glove to move the magnetic platform under the ceiling to the right (hold F and drag the mouse to the right). Jump back along the platform to the right, reaching the first control panel. Move the train car forward, turning the platform. Jump forward along the platform, out the window, to the second control panel. Be careful, the floor nearby will collapse.
In the next room, move another magnetic platform (F, to the right). Jump onto the far left bridge; there’s a dead romantic there (9) . Go down the side corridor to the right, jump across the turning platform to the third control panel. Move the platform, drive the train car onto it, and after the turn, move the empty train car onto the tracks.
We climb to the 4th control panel via the box and the inclined ladder near the wall. Rotate the platform, moving the train car to the center. Jump across two platforms to the 5th control panel on the central island. If the train car doesn’t move, you need to rotate the platform in front.
We go into another hall. We jump across the platform to the balcony in the corner, where, near the body, is “Observation Recording 02” (21) , the 6th control panel. We’ll drive the train car to the starting hall, before the hogweed. At the top, we save. Near the rotating train car with the plants lies the body of a soldier, “Observation Recording 03” (22) .
Use the 7th control panel. Blow up the train car under the hogweed. We’ll be crushed by the rubble, and the scientist will be killed by a flying plant. Kill the mutant and take the flask. Observation Recording 04 (23) is lying near the wall with the pipe . There’s also a save room downstairs.
- Locked in with enemies
On the way back, several mutants will attack us, locking us in a corner room. We shoot the clumps of plants on the walls. A powerful boss mutant will appear; its health is indicated by the white bar above. After defeating it, we return to the birch tree.
- We take our legs away
The birch tree will turn on and the main door will open. We get into the elevator.
4. Lesnaya Station
Atomic Heart. 100% Completion
- A breath of fresh air
There are 3+3 messages on the surface in the room.
Forester’s Village. Flying “bee” drones are outside, restoring all other robots around them. Among the drones is a “vulture” reconnaissance drone, powered by a “vetrolov” wind generator. It’s best to act stealthily, otherwise the video cameras or reconnaissance drones will call for robot reinforcements. The alert level is shown in the upper right corner of the screen. You can’t kill them all; you need to stay hidden at all times.
We immediately shoot the video camera on the pole. There are lumberjack robots around the house; we sneak up behind them and take them down.
Follow the map south and enter the barn on the hill. Inside lies a body, “Death’s Feast” (24) . A little further north, in the garden, is a scarecrow. Drop it and find “Saving Private Goshka” (25) under its base .
According to the map, we go northeast. Near the fence there is a small sculpture called “The Fox and the Gingerbread Man,” and next to it is a note reading “Thanks and a jug of milk to the finder!” (26) . In the northeast, we climb up to the cafe platform and pick up the note “The True Beauty of Science” (27) on a round table with an umbrella .
We can examine the wooden houses nearby; inside, there are only enemies and computers with messages. We hack the next house. On the right side of the street, there’s a lock with three colored dots on it. Inside, there are two messages. To the north, behind the road, there’s a round concrete building with a save inside.
We follow the main road west. Down the road, there’s a locked gate with a “Click-A” lock; you need to disable it on the control panel. We head to the two-story building next to the Volan Tower. Take the elevator up to it. At the top of the tower, on a mattress, is the “Remote Communication” (28) . Baba Zina will contact us; she has the codes for Volan, but we need to go see her first.
- House in the village
We head up the hill, through the open gate in the fence. We examine the washbasin in the yard; here we’ll be attacked by a robot with many eyes. Baba Zina’s flying hut will burn it down.
We’ll watch TV in the hut. Sechenov will report that he’ll fix the malfunction at the plant. Molotov is still dissatisfied; this could derail the “Atomic Heart” project. Molotov will launch his own inspection of the plant.
- Cheat sheet for the SDK-2 “Volan”
Take the “Dominator” blueprint from the table . Return to the tower and hack Volan at the top. You can view the view from any security camera on the map. Select the camera near the gate, look at it, and open it with the F key.
- Morning Express
We go down, go through the gate. Get into the red car, and drive on. You can see several houses on the left. In the yard is a lumberjack and a black robot. We drive to the end of the road, shooting down the robots.
Continue along the path on the right, through the forest. We examine the hut and kill the robot. There are many woodcutters near the rocks. Near the second hut there is one robot and one black enemy.
There’s a large building downstairs, a cafeteria. We search two floors. There are several robots outside. On the tower is a chest with resources and a black robot. We go up to the Lesnaya station platform and board the Vikhr train. The robot in the dining car will tell us we definitely need a ticket.
- Excellent
We descend to the ground and search the bodies of the murdered passengers. A dead loser (10) lies at a dead end ; take his ticket. Nearby, we need to kill the black lab technician. If we bring the ticket to the robot, it won’t accept it; it’s expired and needs to be replaced at the ticket office. On the main street, there’s a dead ticket collector (11) . A little further across the road, there’s a dead weirdo (12) .
We go to the two-story building. The room we need is blocked. We go around the building and enter the cafeteria through the back. There’s a polymer in the window; we swim through it to the second floor. In the locked room is a dead technician (13) ; we’ll get a monthly pass from him. We return to the train.
5. VDNKh
Atomic Heart Station. Where to find the test sites
- What does the coming day have in store for us?
Along the way, we’ll be attacked by a robot ball. The train will fall off the line, and we’ll jump out at the next station. Here, we’ll meet Stockhausen and receive a device from him, shaped like a coin with legs. The scientist will hide in a building.
We fight off the robots on the platform. On the platform, we reach a dead end at the back, where a dead game maker (14) lies . Below is a crafting machine and a save.
We need to get to the exhibition, but now the open world is open, so we can linger. We learn there’s a testing ground nearby where we can complete tests. There are also several recordings in the open world.
Under the train platform we examine the round tables with umbrellas and find “Valuable – Secret” (29) .
Polygon 1. We go to the northern border of the area, in front of the laser fence lies a talking body (15) .
Arena. Before the main entrance to the arena, examine the pillar on the right; underneath it is “What do we have today?” (30) .
Boat station, Polygon 6. We examine the “Mushroom” shelter; outside on its foundation lies “Eleanor Again!” (31) .
A field with solar panels. To the south, we enter the building; on the desk is “Black Journalism” (32) . Nearby, outside, is a railroad track behind lasers; in front of them is a road barrier and a talking body (16) .
The “Collective” complex. In front of the complex, we examine the round tables with umbrellas and find “Transhumanism – the Future!” (33) . In front of the entrance to the concrete area, there’s a small explosion crater in the park to the side, with a talking body lying inside (17) .
Polygon 9. From the Griffin, head northwest along the path. “Let There Always Be Sunshine!” (34) is on the ground behind the fence. Head to the riverbank, where a talking body (18) is lying on the pier near the soda machine .
Achievement “Friend of Animals .” Find the talking corpses of all animals:
- Cow. Polygon 6, on the southern bank of the pond, near the tower.
- Pig. Polygon 10, in the southeast, on the southern road to the farm.
- Chicken. Later, before the big bridge, on the road before the “Mushroom”.
| Polygon 1
From the monorail station, head northwest to a two-story wooden house. Nearby, climb onto a round platform, connect to the video cameras, and use them to open the doors to the checkpoint. We go a little south, to the arena, in front of it there is a second round platform, through the video cameras we open the door to “mushroom” 2. Inside there is not a save, but an elevator leading to the underground training ground. 1. In the first training ground itself, go into the room with the magnets, stand on them, and shoot a shock at the ceiling to switch the polarity. Jump through the gap above into the other half of the room, shoot the ceiling again, and run under the raised wall. 2. In the 2nd room, stand on the blue wall and switch the ceiling. Gradually reach the far wall. In the far left corner with the inclined ladder, you can find a chest with ingredients. From the blue and red platform, jump onto the balcony with the door. 3. In the corridors, we pass through the ventilation hatch. Don’t go into the next hall, but first explore all the side rooms. Look for Assembly Shop 31; inside is a robot with a perpetual motion engine, Comrade Lutyagin (1) . This is essentially just a chest with loot; each chest contains a weapon upgrade blueprint. The “Fox: Handle” blueprint is here . For collecting all the Lutyagins, you’ll get an achievement. 4. In the room with the heaters, we fight the robots. In the corridors, we head toward the truck and then through the office. We push the magnetic wall to the side; ahead is Lutyagin (2) , the “Shotgun: Converter” blueprint . Return to the magnetic wall and push it to the other side. 5. In the room with magnets, go right and forward, climb up the boxes onto the magnet, and shoot the ceiling. Follow the magnetic wall to the left and then along the left wall. Climb onto the far left magnet and from there onto the balcony with the door. In the hallway is a save room, Lutyagin (3) , the “Pistol: Polarizer, Emitter” blueprint, and an elevator to the surface. |

After that, the doors on the side will open. We go into the save room and talk to the glove about the “Collective.” In the hallway, we go through the wooden door on the right.
- Madman in a Box
We’ll meet Petrov on the main stage. He’ll explain Sechenov’s plans: the robots’ combat mode was programmed from the start, and Petrov simply activated it prematurely. Petrov will deliberately die from the activated robots, and he’ll give us two beta rings. We’ll pick up Petrov’s head. Sechenov will send us a drone with a flask; we’ll place the head in it.
- Boy-baba
Boss: NA-T256 “Natasha” . A large combat robot will jump onto the stage. It can spin and attack everything around it, dropping mobile ball mines, firing missiles, and striking with a sledgehammer. We constantly fire at it from a distance. It’s only vulnerable to gunfire. If it runs out of ammo, we approach and attack from behind.
After the victory, we examine the rubble. A body and the recording “Petrov and Lastochkin” (57) lie at the edge of the arena . In the darkness under the balcony is Lastochkin’s corpse (44) . We search the concrete rubble; to the left of it, on the red chairs, lies the “Recording of a Prison Psychologist” (58) . We climb the concrete rubble to the top row and exit the Main Stage. There’s a save room on the way. We exit through the elevator.

We drive 600 meters to the Bridge. Baba Zina will get in touch and ask again about Petrov and the rings. We can stop by her hut. Further on, there’s a bridge with large triangular supports.
Polygon 11. Nearby in the northwest, near the “Mushroom” shelter and the destroyed body, between the rails lies a body and an “Incident Report” (59) .
| Polygon 11
1. Before the bridge, we descend to the shore and explore the “Mushroom” shelter. On the door is a lock with a timer and a cookie. You need to climb onto the “Mushroom” and jump from it onto the building by the gate. You’ll find the key on the floor there . Inside the shelter, we descend on the elevator.
1. Turn the valve so the open door is at the bottom. Drop down and crawl through the doors. Stand on the blue platform and switch the ceiling. From above, jump onto the red balcony with the second valve (jump first, then dash while in the air using shift). Turn the second valve to open the door below. Climb back up the blue platform, walk to the yellow wall, and climb through the door. Climb the magnetic platform on the left. Rotate the green wall with the third valve so that the highest balcony appears in front of us. Climb onto the magnetic platform on the left, rise up, and cross the grate. Stand on the blue path on the left, rise up, jump from it onto the balcony with planks, and climb over the grate. Go through the door in the red wall. At the top is Lutyagin (19) , the blueprint “Kalash: Stock”, “Klusha: Cassettes” .
2. In the frosty room, you need to heat up two boilers. To the left, near the truck, is a box with “candle” balls. Throw the ball into the pipe. Guide the ball up and then down the slide. The second pipe goes through the hut on the right. You don’t need to throw the balls onto the roof; the building has its own. Go to the first hut, climb onto the roof in front of it, jump across the platform to the second hut, and drop down through the hole in the roof. Inside, unlock the lock to the street, throw the ball, and guide it to the boiler. In the corridors is Lutyagin (20) , the blueprint “Shotgun: Magazine” and “Star: Magazines . ”
3. Climb through the hatch under the ceiling. Ahead are two blue rooms, with four orb slots in front of the doors. To the right are side rooms; they will spin when you insert orbs. Climb the side wall and climb into the room on the right, where you can grab the first orb. Then, from the room on the left, grab the second orb. Behind the doors near the exit is Lutyagin (21) , the blueprint for “Pistol: Collimator,” and “Krepysh: Loading Block . “ |

Beyond the bridge, south of the Hospital. The path to the beach is blocked, but you can carefully descend the rocks. On the shore, look for the entrance to a cave; inside is an elevator to the underground complex.
1. There are a lot of mannequins at the entrance. In the hall, turn the valve once, shoot at the red ceiling, and a red platform will rise. Turn the valve again, shoot at the blue ceiling. Cross the platforms to the other side of the chasm. In the corridors with moving mechanisms , Lutyagin (22) , the blueprint “Kalash: Thermal Imager”, “Pate: Blade ”
2. Boss: Natasha. After defeating her, take the elevator up. Lutyagin (23) , blueprint “Shotgun: Stock”, “Dominator: Converter” .
3. In the corridor on the left, take the chest, move the magnetic wall to the left, and go right. Take the ball from below and insert it into the first slot above the pipe. This will activate the magnets. Shoot a shock at the ceiling, and a red platform will extend. There’s a second slot in the side wall of the red platform. Insert the ball into it. This will cause the rooms ahead to rotate. When the room with the open door rotates, remove the ball, insert it into the top slot, and lower the platforms. Run through the open doors, climb up to the balcony on the right, and slide the magnetic curtain aside. Jump down into the hall and insert the ball into the second slot. Wait for the rooms to rotate three times so the open door is on the left behind the wall. Remove the ball just in time and insert it into the first slot. Jump onto the red platform on the right balcony and climb through the window. Run to the left balcony through the open door, where you can slide another magnetic curtain. Pull the ball from the hall toward you and insert it into the slot by the exit door. Ahead, in the dead end, is Lutyagin (24/24) , with the blueprints “Pistol: Bolt Frame” and “Star: Reverse . “ |
After the bridge, the road drops off. We turn right and walk 200 meters. We’re looking for the entrance to the Pavlov Complex.
In the building, go to the reception room. On the table by the green lamp is “Man is a wolf to man” (60) . Read the 2+1+3+2 messages. In the hallway, go to the left room, there’s a talking body (45) . Go to the far right room, examine the central couch, and find “The Thorny Path of Science” (61) .

There’s a save room at the entrance. You need to take Victor’s head to the lab. There are several mutants on the top floor. In the side room, near a chair and a body, is “The Neelov Tragedy” (63) .
On the floor below, shoot at the thickets on the walls. Go through the hole in the wall; in the dead-end room is the “Star Handle” blueprint , and a little further down in the cabinets is the “Railgun” blueprint . In the corner room is a body and “Bykov’s Diary” (64) . In the center is the locked Sisters’ Room; you need to find the code from the light bulbs. Inside are a dozen chests, the last entry about the Neelovs.
First, we go down a square landing. At the bottom, we go through a gap in the rooms and enter the restroom. There are a lot of monsters here. In the stall, there’s “Is There Not a Collective?” (65) .
We return to the middle floor and go down the far corridor, past the large white robot. The right hall contains many cauldrons and monsters. Here, in the center, you need to turn the valve. Then we go to the left room; it’s filled with water. We dive in and emerge in the next room.
Laboratory. There’s a castle on the way that requires a cookie key. In the side rooms are three recordings and a dead doctor (48) . Go to the center of the hall, kill Ivy, and get the cookie key from the cabinet .
We unlock the lock with the key. We examine the hall; near the safe room, on the couch, lies “Science on the Edge of Morality” (66) . We go down in the elevator and find ourselves in the control room. To the right of the window, on the nightstand, there is “Bykov’s Diary: Password” (67) .
Further on is a large morgue with forklifts, another Ivy. In the hall, we climb the stairs; on the top landing is a dead scientist (49) . We unlock two doors with locks.
Surgical lab. We unlock the folding door in the hallway. Strong robots with scythes stand in the way. In the hallway before the cafeteria, in the center is a “Gastronomic Delights” (68) field . We pass through the boxes into the cafeteria.
In the hall with the statue, examine the center; there’s an evil corpse lying there (50/50) . Go up to the second floor, examine the benches near the overturned table, and find the entry “Criminal Routine” (69) . Downstairs, unlock the side gate.
Workshop laboratory. Enter the room with the red liquids. Near the third bath lies a man, “Snake Waltz” (70) . In the far right corner is a save.
Beyond the sliding gates, we’ll hand over the head to Stockhausen, where it’ll be connected to the red neuropolymer. Filatova will run in and throw a grenade at Stockhausen’s feet. The explosion will knock us unconscious.
- Limbo (2)
In the vision, we find ourselves in a corridor, emerging onto a platform with a statue. Here, we must visit all three rooms. We follow the corridors; they will change if we turn around. Along the way, we will hear Sechenov’s life story. We follow the rotating corridor.
Next, follow the moving tear across the floors. From the left cliff, jump onto a white pipe, and from there onto a balcony on the left. Climb over the grating and climb up the landing on the left. Crawl higher along the ledges on the wall, around the corner, jump onto a vertical pipe, and onto the upper balcony. Circle the floor. Jump across the chasm using the ladder and the newly appeared couches.
When we wake up, we’ll find Stockhausen dead in the bathroom. We take the elevator up. Filatova will contact us and demand to meet to tell us the truth about Sechenov.
- And everything became illuminated
On the surface, you can climb up the slope and open the lock on the fence to return to the open world near the Hospital. The storyline dictates that we jump down onto the sandy shore.
Boss: “Dew .” A robot octopus with a powerful laser will emerge from the whale’s body. Constantly dodge to the side and shoot at the laser source. You can hide behind the whale’s body and shoot from around the corner.
After the victory, we climb up the cliffs. The gauntlet will persuade us to throw the beta rings into the water. There are many laser drones behind the door, but they won’t attack. There’s a save point before the lighthouse.
We climb up the yellow pipe to the lighthouse and climb through the window. We take the spiral staircase to the top and search the chests. We go down to the basement. On the desk is the “Lighthouse Keeper’s Diary” (71/71) . Sit in the chair in front of the TV; this will cause the platform to sink underwater.

Atomic Heart: Aftermath Academy. Walkthrough, guide, and text
- Full bottom
In the underwater complex, we speak with Larisa Filatova. We learn that we’re in the Academy of Consequences. We enter the room. Filatova will show us the Mind Graveyard, where all the volunteers affected by previous versions of the “Collective” neural network are locked up.
- Madhouse
We follow Filatova. Along the way, we’ll hear counting rhymes: “P-1, P-2, P-3! The mind is locked inside!” Multicolored glitches will begin to appear before our eyes, and we’ll hear memories from “Limbo.” In the hall, we search the cabinets and read five messages.
Filatova will guess our symptoms and say it’s a reaction to the neural implant in our heads. We’ll learn that we have a “Voskhod” polymer expander installed. We’ll enter the archives. Along the way, we’ll learn that the glove is HRAZ, which refers to Professor Khariton Radeonovich Zakharov, who died during experiments.
- An Inconvenient Truth
In the archive room, we’ll request information about ourselves, Agent P-3. We’ll examine the computers around us; they contain dozens of recordings. Further to the right, under a fallen cabinet, is the first video reel. We’ll insert it into the device in the center and watch the video.
The 2nd reel is on the other balcony, on the table.
The 3rd reel is at the bottom, on the table to the right of the projector.
We learn that our call sign used to be “Plutonium,” Major Nechayev. We underwent surgery after the war. The implant allows us to suppress outbursts of aggression and disable memories of our wife. And we have a hidden combat mode. The glove will reveal that our wife, Ekaterina “Argentum,” was the prototype for the creation of ballerinas and twins. We exit through the elevator.
- Limbo (3)
We lose consciousness again. In our visions, we crawl through the ventilation hatch and through all the tunnels. Along the way, Sechenov will tell us about his ideas. We exit the room into the water.
Atomic Heart Endings : Plot Explained
We wake up on a floating island, next to Baba Zina. We learn that she is Ekaterina Nechayeva’s mother and our mother-in-law. Filatova died, trapped in the elevator with us. Baba Zina demands that we kill Sechenov. We make a storyline choice:
- “I wouldn’t lay a finger on Sechenov”is a good ending.
- “Okay, Mom. Go ahead and show me”– bad ending, “Finale”.
- Final
In the room, use the crafting machine and save your game. We slide down the rope to the island’s main building. We’ll meet her in the hall.
Boss: Left Twin . She fires a laser in an arc, jumps and sends a wave along the ground, and attacks with sonic waves. Once she’s depleted of health, dodge the multiple lasers. She’ll fly upward.
We take the elevator up. Along the way, we listen to the plan for Operation Atomic Heart. Upstairs, we read the report on the computer. We pass through the corridor with the robot exhibits. We save our game.
Boss: Twins . Sechenov will set both bodyguards on us. One twin will jump from above; dodge by quickly pressing “Q” and “E.” Bounce away from the falling turbine with “Q.”
Enemies have a protective shield; you need to knock it down first, and then damage their health. You need to act quickly to prevent their shields from regenerating. You’ll also have to dodge multiple lasers several times, which will give your enemies time to heal.
After the victory, we’ll shoot Sechenov. He’ll accuse Kharitonov’s glove of treason. It turns out he was the one who switched us into combat mode and killed the people around us. We’ll try to remove the glove, but it will shock us. The biomass from the glove will penetrate into the bathroom and connect to the red polymer, turning it black. Kharitonov will kill Sechenov and take the main alpha transmitter for himself.
Bad ending . We’ll see a report that the black polymer has left the building. We’ll wake up in an artificial world, meeting Catherine in two rings.
Good ending . After talking with Baba Zina, we’ll figure out that Kharitonov is deceiving us and destroy the glove. We’ll see a report that we’ve gone on vacation; Sechenov didn’t pay any attention to it. A drop of black polymer from the glove was found and defused by scientists.
