A Tough Awakening Walkthrough

List of Objectives	-
1	Get Out of the Anomalous Field
2	Proceed to Zalissya

Get Out of the Anomalous Field

Throw the Bolts around the anomalous field to trigger the anomalies, making them vanish for a while. Dash across the field in that small window that they vanish.

Bolts are unlimited, so use them to your advantage to get out of the field safely.

How to Get Out of the Anomalous Field

Follow the Stranger (Optional)

You can choose to talk to the stranger named Richter who is waiting for you right outside the anomalous field. You'll then follow him to a nearby compound to look for his comrade. This objective can be skipped entirely as it has no impact on the mission itself.

Proceed to Zalissya

You will have to make your way to Zalissya, located northeast of the anomalous field. The road to reach this town is tough, as you'll be passing by several threats such as hostile soldiers and highly irradiated areas.

It is recommended that you pass through the abandoned houses along the way to scavenge for supplies in order to survive the whole journey.

Quest Giver	Picked up immediately after the There and Back Again mission.
Now I've lost both the Scanner and the artifact, and my head's still reeling from the blow it took. Hermann has gone off the air, so I'll have to find those bastards myself. I guess I need to scout the area and find a place where the locals gather to exchange the latest news and rumors.	-
