Wiki For the character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, see Kolobok (character).

The Kolobok is an 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[]

When you hold this mystery of the Zone in your hands, you feel how your skin becomes tougher and less sensitive. You can still shoot through it with a bullet, but it's much more difficult to cut through.
― In-game description

The Kolobok increases rupture protection. In itself this advantage is very minor, however considering it has no downside whatsoever, it is an effective artifact to use.

Acquisition[]

The Kolobok is a dummy artifact that can only be found:

Clear Sky[]

A relatively rare and expensive artifact, which forms in chemically active areas. Highly valued for its ability to increase the body's overall well-being. Emits radiation.
― In-game description

The Kolobok returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, this time as an uncommon artifact of chemical origin. It provides a +4 in health regeneration, and a +2 in radiation. The Kolobok can be helpful to allow the player to recover health over time, although an anti-radiation artifact will be needed.

Acquisition[]

A Kolobok can be found in the underground of the mineshaft in the Red Forest, in a chemical area in the Poltergeist's zone - beware as the Poltergeists are extremely dangerous and can easily kill the player. It can be found as well in the Agroprom Underground.

It is also rewarded to the player by Leshiy if all members of his squads survive while lowering the drawbridge to Limansk.

Call of Pripyat[]

A relatively rare artifact which forms in areas contaminated with chemicals, Kolobok is highly valued for its ability to heal wounds of any kind in mere minutes. For unknown reasons, scientists are spreading rumors among stalkers that the artifact interacts with the bearer's genetic code. Emits radiation.
― In-game description

The Kolobok returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, having the same characteristics as its Clear Sky counterpart. Garry in the scientists' bunker in Jupiter provides a mission that requires the player to give him one alongside a Meat Chunk.

Acquisition[]

The Kolobok may be found in chemical anomaly fields; the Oakpine anomaly in Zaton spawns one by default, it is always found at the top of the tree (as outlined in Joker's PDA).

The Kolobok is also sold by Beard after completing the Compass mission.

Trivia[]

  • Kolobok is named after the eponymous character of a Slavic fairy tale.
  • The Kolobok in Shadow of Chernobyl is very similar to the Urchin artifact appearance-wise.
  • In Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, the health regeneration equals out to 8 HP regenerated over a 2 'in-game minute' period (12 seconds) – in short, it takes a full in-game half an hour (3 real-time minutes) to regenerate a full health bar.
