The Goldfish is a rare artifact featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

An artifact formed in the Vortex anomaly. Is activated by the heat of the body. Decide what's worse: radiation or knife wounds, and chose the lesser of the two evils. In any case you can sell the artifact for good profit.
― In-game description

The Goldfish increases rupture protection and radiation by 5%, making it not particularly effective, and best sold than used.

Acquisition[]

Clear Sky[]

The result of a superinteraction of gravitational fields, Goldfish produces its own strong directed gravitational field and significantly increases stalkers' load carrying abilities, which explains why it's always in great demand. Emits radiation.
― In-game description

The Goldfish in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky increases weight capacity by a very large +30kg, allowing the player to carry a lot more gear, while being only a radiation +3 artifact.

Acquisition[]

The Goldfish is one of the rarest artifacts in the Zone and it only forms in strong gravitational anomaly clusters. The only place the player is likely to find one is the large anomaly cluster near the Devilish encampment in the Red Forest. Additionally, one may be found amidst the gravitational anomalies on the hillside west of the military base in the Army Warehouses.

Call of Pripyat[]

The result of an interaction between a large number of gravitational fields, Goldfish produces its own powerful internally directed gravitational field, which renders items within its range almost weightless. This artifact is most effective for reducing carried weight, which explains why it is always in great demand. Emits Radiation.
― In-game description

The Goldfish returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, although its weight effect was largely reduced to +12kg, which still makes the Goldfish a very effective artifact. Strangely, the Goldfish is, like the Gravi, a radiation +3 artifact, making the Wrenched sufficient to counter the radiation effect. The Goldfish is part of Beard's artifact orders.

Acquisition[]

The Goldfish may be found in gravitational anomalies; the School in Pripyat spawns one by default.

A Goldfish can be obtained during the mission Hostage by suggesting Grizzly to take Torba's advice and resolve the crisis peacefully, which will prompt him to give the player a Goldfish to give to Shishak and pay the ransom. If one wishes to keep the given Goldfish, it is also possible to pay Shishak 15000 RU or give him a Firefly, Flame or Snowflake. Alternatively, if the player gave Shishak the Goldfish, one can simply kill him and take it back from his body.
