Regardless of the difficulty setting, nearly every player in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be on the hunt for resources. As a survival-focused game, looting is a core gameplay element. However, the early portions of the game can be particularly challenging if you’re running low on supplies.

Fortunately, there’s an easily accessible loot stash waiting for you to claim. It’s not far from your first base and requires only a bit of light parkour to reach. Follow the guide below for the precise location of the Zalissya Bar Stash and start your journey with an advantage.

Where to Find Zalissya Bar Stash

Don’t be misled by the name, as the Zalissya Bar Stash isn’t actually located inside the bar. Instead, it’s situated nearby. It’s also important not to confuse it with the Zalissya Journalist's Stash, which is a separate loot stash tied to the “Seek, and You Shall Find” side mission. Keep these two stashes distinct to avoid any confusion while exploring.

Here's a step-by-step guide to finding the Zalissya Bar Stash:

  1. Start at the Crossroads: Stand in the middle of the crossroads near the Zalissya Bar location.
  2. Head South: Move south and take a left turn to go through a small gap in the fence after crossing three guards.
  3. Follow the Fence: Keep the fence on your left side. When it ends, take another left turn.
  4. Climb the Logs: Your next step is to climb over a pile of wooden logs and then onto the roof.
  5. Enter the Attic: Crouch down and squeeze through a gap to enter the attic.
  6. Collect the Loot: The stash will be on your left. Take everything inside to remove the stash marker from your map.

With these steps, you'll be able to secure the stash and benefit from the supplies it contains. While the Zalissya Bar Stash might not contain a wealth of items or artifacts, the few resources it does offer are still a welcome addition to any player's inventory.

In our playthrough, the stash was named Re-Stashed Goodies, but the name will differ for you, as the game randomizes stash names from player to player. However, the location remains consistent, so you can always find it in the same spot.
