Once you're inside, find the Fierce One. He will talk about a stalker named Mute who disappeared a couple of months ago. This will activate the “Masters from Cordon” side quest.
Where is the Mute in True Stalker
You won’t be able to complete the secondary task right away; first you need to complete the story mission “Devilhood at the Factory” and start the mission “Cache of Freedom”.
In the process of completing the main missions, a new location will open - “Dark Valley”. This is where the Mute is locked up. Below on the map we have highlighted the place where there is a niche in which there will be a grate and through it you can see the prisoner.

How to free the Mute
In order to save a man, do the following:
- Complete the story mission “Devilhood at the Factory” and proceed to the next one – “Cache of Freedom”.
- Help, I'm rotting.
- When Rotten says that he and other bandits will deal with the door to the laboratory, you can go to the Mute.
Next, we will describe and show with screenshots how to find the secret entrance to the basement where the Mute is locked.
Run to the bandits' base and go inside through the entrance shown in the image below.

Below you will find a cage, and next to it on the wall there is a button with which you can open the door of the cell with the prisoner. Do this and release the Mute. There won’t be much time to talk, so the stalker will tell you where he can be found later.
