The Shevchenko (Шевченко), or Taras Shevchenko (Тарас Шевченко), is a location in Zaton in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

Overview[]

Decal shevchenko

Much like Skadovsk, the Shevchenko is the rusted wreck of an old tanker ship, and a landmark of the swampy region of Zaton. In Call of Pripyat, it is not a full-fledged stalker camp, but does provide good cover in case of an emission for stalkers who otherwise wouldn't make it in time to Skadovsk. In Heart of Chornobyl, it acts as a base for Beard and his followers.

Layout[]

The ship is much smaller, less complicated, and in far worse shape when compared to its distant relative, the Skadovsk. Largely a derelict husk, it served merely as temporary shelter to stalkers until it was converted to a makeshift base by Beard sometime between the events of Call of Pripyat and Heart of Chornobyl.

Inhabitants[]

Call of Pripyat[]

There are no permanent dwellers, only occasional visiting stalkers who, in most cases, only take refuge and cover from an Emission before moving on. At the start of the game, Spartacus and his team reside here.

Heart of Chornobyl[]

The Shevchenko serves as Beard's base, housing himself and the free stalkers who left the Skadovsk with him.

Appearances[]

Call of Pripyat[]

The Shevchenko is the target of the quest The Hit given by Sultan, which requires the player to assist Knuckles' team into eliminating Spartacus' stalkers at night, though the player may side with the Loners and take down Knuckles' group instead.

Heart of Chornobyl[]

The Shevchenko features more centrally in the plot of Heart of Chornobyl. It is the location where Skif can meet with Beard and receive several quests.

Stashes[]

Call of Pripyat[]

  • Stash containing three Cossacks vodka bottles; in the southeastern part of the ship, ground level, behind a metal beam and equipment.

Trivia[]

  • The ship is named after a 19th century Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko (Тарас Григорович Шевченко).
    • The ship also coincidentally shares its name with Vladimir Shevchenko, a Ukranian film-maker who was permitted into the area around the Chernobyl disaster.
