Atomic Heart walkthrough and endings - how to solve puzzles, defeat bosses, find all blueprints and audio recordings

 

Atomic Heart is a fast-paced shooter set in an alternate Soviet Union. We have prepared a detailed walkthrough of all story missions, tactics of battles with some bosses, as well as a description of the location of audio recordings.

Let's sleep in that world

Watch the introductory video. When control passes to you, you can inspect the surroundings and listen to the game characters. Some you can chat with. Run after the marker to get to the parade.

Go around the crowd and see the exhibition. Here you can also read the chronology of events in the history of the alternative USSR. When you're ready, head to the complex with the "Lab of the Future" sign.

Tereshkov's robot will bring you up to date and teach you how to use the scanner. This is the main gameplay element that you will constantly refer to as you progress through Atomic Heart. The scanner can not only highlight useful items or enemies, it can also be used to detect items for a task or people with whom you can chat. 

Leave the laboratory and head across the bridge to the building where Professor Sechenov's office is located. Enter the elevator and go up to the upper level. Here, take the key, go down, and get into the car. Watch the cut scene during which the system crashes.

Complex

After the cutscene, you will receive an axe. Use it to destroy hostile robots. If you are playing on medium or low difficulty, you can ignore the androids, but remember that each enemy killed will bring you a small amount of materials that will be useful for upgrading weapons and gauntlets.

Get to the animal pen and inspect the toilet stall. After the cut scene, you will find yourself in the Vavilov complex.

Viktor Petrov. Find and neutralize

Get out of the elevator and inspect the lockers with resources. Such objects are highlighted in blue by the scanner. As you progress, you will often meet them on your way. Use the closet to get into the ventilation shaft. Here, find the steering wheel and an audio recording next to the corpse of a military man.

Go down and use the steering wheel on the door. After the cutscene, move forward. The first door on the right leads to a safe room. Often you will find a chest with materials here and save your progress.

When you go a little further, you will be attacked by several robots. Each floor of the complex has additional rooms with lockers and terminals. When studying the latter, you can familiarize yourself with various letters and orders. Use the scanner to find them.

In one of these rooms, you will find a twitterer. Run forward and destroy two more robots. There is an audio recording in the restroom.

Approach the objective marker for HRAZ to open the door. At this moment, a long video will begin, after which you will get acquainted with an improved version of the BOV-A6 / 4 "Laboratory" robot.

After the battle, you will have to open the electronic lock. There are several types in the game. We talked more about breaking each of these locks in this guide.

Follow the corridor to the save room and examine Eleanor's repair cabinet. After the cutscene, you can use these automata to craft weapons, ammo, and consumables, and upgrade your glove.

Leave the room and look around the hall. On the cabinet in front of you will be an audio recording.

There are several drawers at the end of the room. Climb the stairs to the top floor and get to the castle. It can only be opened with a special electronic key. There will be few such castles in the game.

Not so fast, major. How to Find the Electronic Key and Shotgun Ammo Blueprint

Return to the corridor and climb even higher. Destroy the camera on the wall and examine the table at the far end of the corridor. Here lies the cookie key, which is needed to open the door.

Do not rush to leave this floor. Search all the rooms to find an audio recording and crafting resources.

Return to the lock and open it with the found key. There is also a small puzzle to be solved here. Such riddles will often be encountered during the passage of story missions and during the study of polygons. We have devoted a separate guide to the latter.

Interact with any of the six discs to make rays of different colors appear. You need to match them as shown in the screenshot below. At the moment, it is not known whether the combination can change for different players.

Run to the hall and take one of the two elevators. Exit the booth and turn right. Go through the door and down the hallway to the left. On the left will be the door to the restroom. Examine the crate to find the Shotgun Ammo Blueprint. In the adjacent rooms, there are wardrobes and a chest.

Follow even further and inspect the administration room, where you need to silently eliminate the robot. There is a chirp on the table next to the corpse.

To get into the locked room on the right, use the ventilation shaft.

When you're ready, return to the hall and inspect the locked door. Use the electric shock on the magnets from above to open it.

Clear the location and get to the funicular tunnel. Watch out for moving parts as they can kill the protagonist. Once you reach the rift, jump down and climb into the polymer. You can use this liquid to overcome various obstacles. To jump out of the polymer, you should swim to the edge of the liquid and press the button ( Shift key on PC). A chest can be found in the crack in front of the polymer.

How to find the drawings of the ax "Fox" and "KS-23-Electromagnetic Barrel"

Interact with the new electronic lock, then talk to the military corpse. From this point on, you will often meet the dead with whom you can talk. Don't forget to inspect the chest in the break room to get the Fox Ax Blueprint. Go back and look for another corpse, next to which there is a scheme for opening the lock. Activate the funicular, get into the booth, and watch the cut scene.

After the cabin crash, you will be taught the elements of parkour. Pay attention to the yellow beams and pipes, they can be climbed, climbed higher, or descended.

When the Burav robot appears, hide and wait. Aftershocks will signal its approach. Get to the room with the corpse and climb into the ventilation shaft. Examine the first saferoom and find the drawing of the module "KS-23-Electromagnetic Barrel".

HRAZ will offer to improve the hero's abilities. Get to Eleanor and purchase the Kiss of Eleanor upgrade. Go through the laser beams and watch the cut scene.

In hot pursuit. How to find three flasks with moon soil

Fight off a large group of robots and pick up the twitter on the bench next to the birch. Run to the opposite side of the second floor and go through the open door. Here you need to climb into the ventilation shaft.

Pick up the candle on the table and bring it to the door behind which Petrov disappeared. Use electric shock to stop some cars. Jump on the cabinets and get to the polymer. Dive into it and swim to the opposite side.

In the break room, you can open the drawing of the module "Electro - Emi Generator". When you get to the lunar module, inspect the racks to the left of it. Here is the first flask.

Dive into the polymer in the wall and swim into the next room. As soon as you get to it, get the blueprint for the Electro cannon. Here you will find Eleanor and the second flask.

To the left of the repair cabinet, there is a hole in the wall. Use it and get to the third flask. It lies right in the ventilation shaft.

Insert three flasks into the lunar module and deal with the robot. In the save room, examine the chest to find the blueprint for the PM pistol. In the next location, you can find many chests and resources. There will also be enemies here. Follow the marker all the time and dive into the polymer.

This will take you back to the warehouse. Examine the corpse of Petrov, take away the candle, and break the lock on the door. Return to the hall, and place two candles on the columns. The task will be updated.

In the room with glass flasks, use all the valves to close them. The door to the main hall will open. First, we advise you to destroy all the shoot queens, as they will interfere with the start of the fans. Track enemies with a scanner.

Once you've done that, go up to the control room and start the fans. We'll have to return to the hall and use the electric shock to activate them.

In the same room, next to the corpse, you can find an audio recording.

While filling the flask with polymer, some of the shoots will fly up, causing the fans to become inactive again. Shoot them in time. Take the flask and leave the workshop through the opened door in the control room. In the nearest saveroom there is a drawing of "Kalash".

It is worth noting that after that the gates of the arena will automatically open.

How to defeat the boss EZHH-7 "Hedgehog"

The tactics of fighting this boss are quite simple. You will need any firearm. There is no point in shooting at the robot when it is in combat mode. Dodge attacks, and when the boss exposes vulnerable parts, shoot them. Below we have described the main attacks of the enemy.

Basic attack - the boss spins up and heads toward the protagonist. Use a double dash just before the collision with the robot.

Ground Slam - The robot jumps up and then performs a powerful ground slam accompanied by an energy ring. It is enough to jump in time to avoid damage.

Rocket launcher - the enemy fires several volleys of rockets in a row. Use a dash to the sides or hide behind the columns. The latter, by the way, can be called with an electric shock, as the boss will regularly destroy them.

The most dangerous attack - the boss begins to attract the main character to him. Turn around and run in the opposite direction using a dash. At the same moment, the robot will make three hits on the ground. As soon as you hear the sound of impact, count down a few seconds and jump up.

You will enter a small underground complex. If you have already gone through polygons before, then you know that you need to use shock on electromagnetic coils. Apply it and climb higher.

There will be a similar puzzle in the next room. We change the polarity and climb onto the platform in front of the hero.

We stand on the platform in the center and by the same principle we get to the door. If you wish, you can inspect the chest on the right side of the room. At the bottom, there is a corpse of an engineer with whom you can talk.

In the corridor on the floor, turn the disks in the same sequence as in the screenshot below.

Climb down and inspect the chest. Change polarity here and jump to the door. After moving to the opposite side, kill the robot below and chat with the dead. Jump to the platform with the red tiles, reverse the polarity, get off, and reverse the polarity again.

Make the right combination.

In the next room, the electromagnetic coils will be divided into two parts. Some regulate the platforms on the right side of the hall, others on the left.

Atomic Heart endings. Kill Sechenov or spare

The following guide contains spoilers. Make sure you want to know the ending of the Atomic Heart game.

What will happen if you kill Sechenov

If you go to talk with Sechenov, he will order the robotesses to kill Major Nechaev. After the battle, the hero will shoot the academician, but suddenly Khariton Zakharov, or rather what is left of him, will suddenly appear on the stage. The neuropolymer clot HRAZ will join the array of information and take possession of it, after which it will kill Sechenov.

At the end, you will hear the following:

“At the moment the soldiers of the Argentum detachment arrived at the office of Academician Sechenov, no traces of the latter were found there. According to the fragmentarily reconstructed video information, a black humanoid neuropolymer object approached the body of Academician Sechenov, after which it swallowed the body in its entirety.

After the events indicated in the report, an unknown humanoid black polymer object left the office of Academician Sechenov and disappeared in an unknown direction.

What will happen if you spare Sechenov

If you refuse to deal with Sechenov, Major Nechaev will begin to guess about the involvement of the HRAZ glove in his hallucinations and what has been happening with the neural network lately. He will rip the neuropolymer clot out of his hand and crush it.

At the end, you will hear the following:

“According to the video surveillance cameras, Major P-3 left the territory of the enterprise number 3826 and departed in an unknown direction. Major P-3 did not provide information about the place of vacation. Academician Sechenov assessed this violation as insignificant.

In the area of ​​​​the indicated exit, one of the cameras recorded an unknown object made of a black polymer of an unstable configuration. Due to its small size, it was not possible to identify the specified black polymer.
