Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl  → Artifacts (Part 1)

Description of artifacts

Twist  - Found near "Funnel"-type anomalies. When in contact with the body, it emits a focused radiation that protects against scratches or wounds inflicted by bladed weapons. This artifact is easy to find, which is why it fetched little money.

Gravi  - Can be found near Funnel-type anomalies or on another stalker. When worn, some of the radioactive rays accumulate in the body, while the main rays radiate outward. The price is average.

Goldfish  - Spawned by the "Vortex" anomaly. Activated by body heat. Decide what's worse: radiation or stab wounds, and choose the lesser of two evils. At least the artifact can be sold for a good price.

Droplet  - Formed by the "Frying" anomaly at high temperatures. Externally, it appears as a blackened, teardrop-shaped formation with a glossy surface covered in cracks.

Fireball  - Crystallizes in the "Heat" anomaly. Effectively combats radioactivity, although the accelerated energy exchange wears down the locomotor muscles. It won't allow you to run for long. The artifact emits heat.

Crystal  - Obtained when heavy metal enters the "Hot" anomaly. This artifact is excellent at absorbing radiation. It is highly prized by stalkers due to its rarity.

Slime  - It is known for certain that the artifact is affected by the "Jellied" anomaly. When worn on the belt, wounds bleed less, although the wearer's body becomes vulnerable to various burns.

Slug  - Formed by the "Jellied" anomaly. This artifact's negative properties are offset by its ability to increase blood clotting. This artifact is rare and commands a hefty price.

Mica  - The "Kholodets" Anomaly can produce such an artifact under a rare, extreme set of physical conditions. The result is a translucent solid object. The artifact is expensive and rare.

Sparkler  - Found near Electra-type anomalies. A fairly common and inexpensive artifact, it is nevertheless prized by Zone researchers for its properties.

Flash  - Electra occasionally spawns this artifact. Stalkers eagerly use it due to its remarkable properties. Its reasonable price and attractive appearance make it an attractive collector's item.

Moonlight  - A degenerate case of the Electra anomaly. Apparently, such a remarkable rounded shape can be achieved by subjecting the anomaly to thermal treatment. A valuable artifact.

Mom's beads  are a wonderful artifact. Take care of them—their beauty lies in the fact that they possess only positive qualities. Scientists are racking their brains trying to figure out how such a property can be achieved in a laboratory setting.
