If you haven't played the Trilogy before, this is your chance to enjoy atmonoosphere and lore.
Do not focus on unlocking achievements.
Explore, loot, shoot and have fun!

Tips regarding Call of Pripyat achievements:

• Consider using manual saves. This could help you roll back to an earlier point in case of issues with the game or if you want to unlock missed achievements.
  
• At the time of writing this guide, one of the achievements can be missed (check Under Every Rock achievement in the Other Achievements section), as one of the bugs from the original game has carried over to the ported version. Pay attention while reading the guide.
  
• After you go to disable the source of interference in the Kindergarten, you will reach the point of no return. Despite this, you will have the opportunity to choose not to leave the Zone at the end of the game.
  Before proceeding further with the storyline, it's best to save your game and return to collect any missed achievements. Alternatively, you can continue unlocking achievements in freeplay.

• Jupiter (in the train with the Tesla anomaly, which you can jump onto from the bridge near the scientists' bunker).

Fine Tools:

• Zaton: Substation Workshops (you have to bring 5 food items to the Mercenary leader to gain access to their camp.
  Or you can kill them all - your choice).
  
• Jupiter (in the warehouse south of the Concrete Bath anomaly, in the attic with Electra anomalies, inside a cupboard).

Librarian

After collecting all documents, the game will update the task to Leave laboratory X-8 without mentioning that there are any documents left.
Do not be misleaded by that notification.

A Keeper of Secrets
Keep notes from Strelok's group's stashes until you find their rightful owner.

You have to find all 3 Strelok's stashes, take Strelok's notes and give them to him later in the game.

You can also visit the crashed drone behind the Ash Heap anomaly and hand over its memory module to any technician for decryption. It's better to give it to Novikov, as if you give it to Nitro, Senka will decide to visit all three stashes and lose all the loot from them except the notes.

It's important not to accidentally give these notes to Owl, as it will block you from getting the achievement.

• The first stash is located under the Cement factory, which you can reach from the swamp side where the Plavni anomaly is located.
  
• The second stash is in the cabin of a bucket wheel excavator at the Quarry. You can reach it by climbing a tree next to it and jumping onto the cabin.
  
• The third stash is on the territory of the Jupiter Plant, in a water tank in a small water tower, in a pipe in the wall.
  

Well-timed backup
Save all stalkers from Kovalsky group during the final evacuation.

You need to ensure that all members of the squad who left the Laundromat with you successfully reach Prometheus. Don't forget to help the medic near the School.

A Wealthy Client
Your wealth is considerable, and traders value a client of your stature.

Accumulate 100 000 currensy.
You could run around anomalies like a madman, collecting artifacts and selling them to Beard.

Coffee reactor
You drank 100 energy drinks. The Zone is too big to be slow.

Collect 10 energy drinks. Save, drink, reload, repeat.

Agent F-1
Kill 100 enemies with hand grenades.

Cumulative. The easiest way is to always carry a few grenades with you. When you see a group of any stalkers sitting or walking, save your game and throw grenades at them. After that, reload and move on, or farm in the same spot.
Another convenient method is at the sawmill. Lure all the zombies to the house where the tools are located. They will gather on the first floor while you wait in the attic. Save, throw grenades at them, reload, repeat.

Marked by the Zone
Manage to survive an emission without taking cover thanks to the anabiotic pills.

You need to survive three emissions outside of shelter using anabiotics. Anabiotics will start being synthesized by the scientists after meeting the requirements of the Pioneer achievement.
However, you can find exactly three on Zaton:

• One can be found in the controller's cave on Zaton (check the Mirone, is it you? achievement below).
  
• Two more can be found in the stash under the Krug Antenna Complex, with the entrance to the pipe located in front of the Swamp anomaly.

Mirone, is it you?
Find Mirone.

The cave with the body is located under the Burnt Farmstead, inhabited by a controller, so be careful. You can also find one Anabiotic there for the Marked by the Zone achievement.

Under every rock
Find and acquire items from every stash in Zaton which contains any weapon.

You have to find every stash with weapons on Zaton. Please remember that grenades and grenade launcher's ammo also counts.

Make sure you receive the message Stash found, otherwise it won't count.

A Friend of Stalkers
Help stalkers in trouble and you will have allies in the stalker brotherhood who will help you too.

SAVE HERE, SO YOU CAN RELOAD AND COMPLETE QUEST BOSS

You need to always help and support the Stalkers. It's convenient to combine with the achievement One of Ours.

You need to complete the following quests:

• Missing Stalkers

• Transaction (On the Stalkers' side)
  
• Shady Business (On the Stalkers' side)

[/i]

SAVE HERE, SO YOU CAN RELOAD AND COMPLETE QUEST BOSS

Boss
Help Sultan outmaneuver the stalkers and take Beard's business under your control.

SAVE HERE, SO YOU CAN RELOAD AND COMPLETE QUEST A FRIEND OF A STALKERS AND ONE OF OURS

You need to complete the quests The Hit and Transaction on the side of the Bandits, and in the quest Shady Business, refuse to bring the Compass to Beard and collaborate with Sultan/Owl instead.

Diplomat
Solve problems peacefully.

You need to pay for Vano's debt and safely rescue Mitay from the Container warehouse without killing bandits.

A Man of Balance
Do not side with either faction, and always act as a free stalker.

You need to fulfill two conditions:

• Sell Morgan's and Tachenko's PDAs to Owl.
  
• Inform Gonta about Magpie (Flint).

This achievement excludes the possibility of helping the Strider's group, which blocks the Leader achievement.
However, there is a bug that allows you to get both achievements.
Here are the steps:

• Obtain the A Friend of Stalkers achievement.
  
• Obtain the Mutant Hunter achievement.
  
• Obtain the Diplomat achievement.
  
• Tell the leader of Duty or Freedom about Flint (Magpie) and also tell Gonta.

As a result, the faction to whom you told about Flint (Magpie) will accept the Strider's group, and you'll be able to give Morgan's and Tachenko's PDAs to Owl.

A Friend of Freedom
Provide plenty of help to Freedom, and earn the respect of Freedom.

You need to fulfill 3 conditions:

• Give Loki (Freedom's leader at Yaniv) Morgan's and Tachenko's PDAs.
  
• Inform Loki about Flint's (Magpie) actions.
  
• Recruit the Strider's group into the Freedom faction.

A Friend of Duty
Provide plenty of help to Duty, and earn the respect of Duty fighters.

You need to fulfill 3 conditions:

• Give Shulga (the leader of Duty at Yaniv) Morgan's and Tachenko's PDAs.
  
• Inform Shulga about Flint's (Magpie) actions.
  
• Recruit the Strider's group into the Duty faction.

Trafficker of Information achievement
Have your own profit in mind when selling information to those who need it.

You need to sell at least 10 out of the following 15 items to any trader (NPC names in parentheses indicate NPCs who are interested in the items):
- Mercenary Hook's PDA (Owl);
- Mercenary Ridge's PDA (Owl);
- Mercenary Notebook (Owl);
- Morgan's PDA with a contract to kill Degtyarev (Morgan);
- Morgan's PDA (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Order №562 (Owl);
- Internal order No. 423 — 3 copies (Owl);
- General Tachenko's PDA (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Folder with the order from Jupiter plant (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Notebook sheet from Jupiter plant (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Delivery schedule from Jupiter plant from Jupiter plant (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Letter about deliveries of item № 62 (Owl, Shulga, Loki);
- Snag's PDA (Owl);
- Leader of bandits' PDA, waiting for the Degtyarev near the port cranes (Owl);
- Unlocked memory module from a crashed drone (Owl).

Detectortive
Find at least one artifact with the help of each detector.

In the game, there are a total of 4 detectors:

• Echo (default one, you got one at the start of the game)
  
• Bear (Can be obtained from Petruha if you have the Echo Detector equipped)
  
• Veles (Several need to be found for the Owl's quest; one is guaranteed to be found in the cabin of the excavator in the Kopachi village)
  
• Svarog (Could be purchased from scientists after completing the Research Assistant achievement; can be obtained after Owl's quest for 3 Veles detectors)

Seasoned Stalker
You have been to virtually all locations near the center of the Zone.

You need to visit more than 18 anomalies. It's possible to achieve this even before reaching Pripyat if you actively explore locations and visit anomalies that aren't marked on the map.

Natural disaster
Simultaneously equip Snowflake, Flame, Stone Flower and Moonlight.

You need a suit with four artifact slots to equip all 4 artifacts.
Do this after obtaining the Svarog detector, because it is easier to lure inside anomalies with it. Artifacts respawn after every emission.

Artifact Hunter
Find every type of artifact known to Zone researchers.

After each emission, explore all anomalies all around the 3 maps.
It's easier to collect them towards the end of the game, especially if you have the Svarog detector.

Alpha predator
You killed 300 mutants — the Zone is a safer place, at least for a while.

If you don't obtain it closer to the end of the game, go on a killing spree.
One of the easy ways is to save at the beginning of the game before visiting the Krug Antenna Complex with Grouse, and wipe out all the bloodsuckers until you get the achievement. It may take some time.
Alternatively, you can farm mutants passing through Pripyat 1 underpass, before the large hall where we encounter Monolith, a pack of snorks appears.

Ghostbuster
Kill three poltergeists.

There are a total of 4 Poltergeists in the game:

• One flies in the anomaly Circus in Zaton.
  
• One flies in the anomaly Iron Forest in Zaton; it respawns time to time.
  
• One is in Laboratory X-8, on the attic of one of the rooms.
  
• One appears in Kindergarten when we go to check the source of the interference.
