Stalker 2: Should you side with the Ninth?
Wondering whether to side with the Ninth in Stalker 2? “The Lost Boys” side quest in the Lesser Zone of Stalker 2 takes you on a journey to find Mastiff’s missing group of looters. After finding Max Saturday, he’ll tell you his group was attacked by a Monolithian, who then took Mastiff back to his “haunted house”.
But if you speak to the Monolithian (called the Ninth), he’ll present a rather different version of events. He’s no longer a Monolithian, and it wasn’t he who killed Mastiff’s men; it was a poltergeist. The Ninth brought Mastiff back to his hideout to treat him and keep him alive. The question is: should the Ninth be trusted?
In this guide, we’ll explore the different options when it comes to siding with the Ninth and defending him against the attack from Dew and his group, and whether it’s best to help save the Ninth, whether to help Dew attack the Ninth’s hideout, or whether to just back out of the whole encounter and let them sort things out themselves.
