Down Below is a main quest in Heart of Chornobyl.
Background[]
Depending on what the player selected, they will go to the Olympia Cafe or the Polissya Hotel. Siding with Spark or Strelok will require the player to fight off the Wardens at either location entrance; siding with the Ward will require the player to fight off Sparkers instead. It is strongly advised to finish any side quests and achievements unrelated to the endings, as entering either location will trigger the point of no return, disabling freeplay and cancelling all active side quests.

Strelok Route[]
- Degtyarev will leave the player his personal weapon, Sotnyk, for surviving the control center. It is located on the table besides Strelok.
Ward Route[]
- The player will receive a key card to access the mobile bunkers in Dead Valley.
Tips[]
- Going through Polissya Hotel is significantly easier than Olympia Cafe. The most dangerous encounter in the hotel is a Controller, as compared to the dozens of Monolithians at the Cafe.
- The only time the player can repair/upgrade their gear or buy items in the Strelok route is in Enerhetyk before heading to the Red Forest.
