Get to the Dead Valley
Exit the building where you got the X7 Suit and follow the marker to the east. It will be a long walk from the previous main mission area, but it's mostly absent of enemies. Once you reach the Dead Valley, you will encounter an apparition of Richter, who will disappear right before the Emission engulfs the area.
Wait Out the Emission
Enter the bunker and find the campfire in the underground area. Here, notable NPCs that were killed in the previous missions will appear, including Solder, Varan, and Zotov.
Find Richter
Once it's clear, go up the stairs to the northeast. There should be a ladder after you turn right that leads back to the surface. Continue crossing the valley until you find Richter again below a ruined bridge.
Follow Richter
Richter will accompany you through the rest of Dead Valley. During the trip, sticking close to Richter and staying on the path is necessary as you're actually walking on the surface of the irradiated waters of Dead Valley. This objective leads to another campfire where you wait yet another Emission out.
Get to the Head of the Convoy
The next objective is more walking to the east. Follow this straight path and find Richter again in the next campfire.
Wait Out the Emission at the Fire
Stay here for a while as another Emission is coming in. You will also have enough time to talk to Richter for the optional objective.
Get to the Generators
You're almost there! Right next to the campfire are vehicles and wagons suspended in midair, forming a bridge to the Generators. Watch your step while crossing as falling into the waters below results to instant death.
Past the stone walls is the entrance to the Generators and the beginning of The Eternal Shining main mission of the Spark route.
