The Complete Lore and Story behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. | EUL Gaming

- Dangerous Mutants, Deadly Anomalies, and Radiation are all hallmarks of the STALKER series. But what seems like yet another "radiation causes mutation and strange things" trope, in actuality is much deeper, and much more sinister. A group of secret scientists have discovered that Earth indeed has a sphere of thought - the Noosphere - and it can influence not only primitive animal minds but those of thinking humans. In order to safeguard their research, defense mechanisms of unimaginable horrors safeguard their meddling in forces they barely understand.
In subsequent videos, I will dive even deeper into many facets of the zone. It's creatures, anomalies, artifacts, characters, and equipment all deserve further explanation.

#EULGaming #stalker2 - Hry
Hey I'm the dude who made the picture you used for your thumbnail, cool to see it just show up in my recommended years later, glad you enjoy the work
Your art is badass brother!
Great work ❤
As a stalker veteran all I can say is, this was quite enjoyable to watch. And for people that haven't heard for stalker before world of zone was explained in best possible way.
I heard about it a while back because of a CZcamsr called rimmy down under gaming he did a arma op on stalker and then I saw that stalker 2 would be coming out soon and my best guess from the video is it’s kind of like metro but it’s in Chernobyl
@@Linki8uu metro has been developed by somr people who worked on stalker before
@@archeacnos yes, stalker is much better than metro as I'm sure you will agree haha.
On that note are there any other way to get an exoskeleton repair kit other than doing tech missions? And I can install servo motors for sprinting via exoskeleton repair kits? I already have 2x basic tools, 2x expert tools, basic, advanced and fine tuning servos but cannot install any of it without an exoskeleton repair kit.
I seem to not be able to find any info on this🙈Hope you can help (vanilla anomaly)
@@zenderiangaming259 playing with an armor??? Sorry I don't know what that means, every stuff one shots me and it has to stay like that
@@archeacnos yes I'm playing with a suite, a monolith exoskeleton suite.
It's okay I think we have a language barrier
A video covering the source material and inspiration of the STALKER series, such as Roadside Picnic and the few movies made about it would be cool to see.
Great read, and a fantastic audio book
a video essay for a book when you could just read the book?
@@vreevroow not everyone like to read
@@meta55645 second this. Very sad.
I would check out warlockracy videos on stalker he does in depth on the Slavic culture behind the series
To me the over all story was my own ... following the characters was just a glimpse under the vail but the journey to every stalker is amazing and bless to those who fell.
Stalkers never die. They are merely lost to the Zone
RIP S.T.A.L.K.E.R game developer Volodymyr Ezhov - involved in the creation of Alexander (RTS/RPG from 2004), Cossacks 2 (RTS, 2005), Heroes of Annihilated Empires and STALKER: Clear Sky (2008) - has been killed in Ukraine Reportedly in Bakhmut
🥀🥀
Glory to the heroes 🫡
Z V O ☦️🇷🇺
Russia killed him and tried to silence the guy who wrote the Metro series. Russia just keeps taking common Ls.
@@SirDankleberrywhy would the russian government want to silence the metro author?
@@akkunair9392 Because he spoke against the Ukraine War.
One of the stalker devs had a relative who was a soviet genetic engineer, so he asked him to write small fanfic about what kind of mutant biology would be like. While it was not much effort was put into it, it was attempted somewhat to ground it on reality and was as detailed as describing "Pseudoflesh digestive system". Unfortunately while it dodnt make to the shelf game due to numerous changes in direction, it is still available to read in the leaked documents, and is quite entertaining.

I have one thing to say about STALKER. If you like fallout you will LOVE STALKER. I have easily over 11,000 hours in Fallout New Vegas but when I played shadow of Chernobyl for the first time well... That was 3 months ago and I haven't played fallout since.
No game can match Stalker's atmoshphere of dread and impending doom
@@user-ix2gt9kv9n True,metro falls just slightly behind only because its linear but if it werent,probably the same.
I love it
This is a great "all in one" video about the STALKER universe. I can't tell how much of it was accidental or intentional, but somehow GSC gave STALKER one the best lore in gaming
About 2 months ago I tried Shadow Of Chernobyl for the first time. Fully vanilla. Now, a few weeks later, I have over 200 hours in all the stalker games including Anomally. The more popular these games become, the happier I am
Instal GAMMA over anomaly and join the master race brother
@@carlcox7976 i did! I should've specified that honestly. I haven't even played vanilla anomally
@@carlcox7976 I am actully scared of failing my exam cuz Gamma just SUCKS ME IN like nothing alse.
Trully an underrated game.(super butthurting hard crafting system, but we love it here)
@@Just2Ddude responsibilities first brother than reward yourself. Be a man!
@Just2Ddude Just went through that for a week or two.
Man, as a man who loves nothing more than underground stories about scientific experiments and war, that video is at the top of what interests me, that's gold.
The intro should've been like: "DEADLY ANOMALIES, DANGEROUS MUTANTS, ANARCHISTS AND BANDITS"
RIP to the Ukrainian developer that worked on this. This thing about controlling human thoughts... RIP to this Ukrainian developer.
if you are refering the noosphere it is a real theory and is still being studied in russia
Niqqa what
@@creedmore_95 directed at me? Yep search it on youtube
@@zenderiangaming259 source?
@@allodyadyameditate, be super still in mind and body. you'll experience something like it.
Please, more of stalker! You did a wonderful job on this video and it will be my go-to first share when trying to introduce someone to the universe. Thanks, it's good to have you back :)
Bro, like I mean this whole heartedly…
YOU make hands down the most quality lore videos of any game that I have ever seen, the editing, the voice over, the visuals, the intro, the script, and so much more is just perfect!!
Thanks for caring for your content! 👍
Way to over exaggerated. He's a good story teller but far from the best
You haven't seen many lore videos it seems.
@@NakedAvangerlike who?
I'm glad you're back man. Even if this channel doesn't become as big as you want it to be, the quality of your videos are outstanding. I Really enjoy y'alls work please don't stop!
I appreciate all of your lore videos, really helps my appreciation of these games
Been waiting for an upload, so glad its here! Love the storytelling and video editing. Keep em coming please!
Good to have you back, I am looking forward to more of this content. I have always been fascinated by stalker.
Bro, you make it seem completely real. Turn a somewhat possible, partially based on actual events, into a totally real feeling documentary! Kinda makes playing seem more real and significant. Thnx Bub! Love ur shit.
It's not somewhat possible, it's entirely and completely impossible. I guess it would be cool though.
@@ledira8539 you just be fun at parties
@@KipVelcrono because I don't agree with outrageously unrealistic statements? Yeah no.
@@ledira8539 it's called having an imagination. And unless you're some kind of accredited scientist, you have no knowledge of whether these things can possibly happen or not.
So your possibly uneducated opinion was never necessary. Let people enjoy their imaginations
@@ledira8539 Only if the Noosphere doesn't exist.
EUL Gaming, glad to see your back
This is what kind of content I was looking for. Great production. Wish you all the best on CZcams and more views, well deserved!!!
Perfectly concise. I'm working on STALKER short film - it's good to have the basic lore laid out completely for references
This was a great video -- concise, and very interesting and well-edited. Would love to see the same treatment for the other games.
Dude this was immensely enjoyable to watch. I learned a lot and after playing Stalker for all these years, It makes me love it even more. Great attention to detail!
Oh dude hell yeah some stalker stuff
Nice video bro, I'd love to see more, your narration is on point
I really like your storytelling!
Thanks man :)
The algorithm sure took its sweet time recommending me this vid!
Here for the stalker content. Loved that series of games. Would happily watch more - got a sub in the hopes you will continue
Stalker is just a masterpice
Damn, top notch effort - again. Thanks
OH FUCK YEAH. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU'D COVER MY FAVOURITE VIDEO GAME SERIES SOME DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH
This vids has to be so time consuming to make! Thanks for this!
man, it's nice seeing more STALKER love!
Just won over my sub bud. Amazing video. Can’t wait to watch more stalker content !
finding similiraty and references from stalker in other games or movies is amazing, thanks!
Oh my I missed this on upload. But thank you for this, first Tarkov lore now STALKER. Best channel for lore!
This is one of the coolest stories I have ever seen. This needs to be a series or movie. Such a deep concept
Great video, looking forward to more!
It's very easy to look over the details of the story and the world when you're being shot by 20 guys and can't take more than two steps without being irradiated.
Incredible video, the visuals are well done!
20:06 that Duga radar is legendary :D shiey even climbed on it on his exclusion zone-excursion.
Well dine sir. This was entertaining to watch. Thanks
First sentence i knew this was going to be good. Got my sub
eyy he's back my favorite youtuber
I here by want to compliment you for this great quality vid! From the chronologic events to the calm and slow storytelling to the great Stalker pictures (were did you even get those??)
A job well done in my honest opinion. There are 2 more great Stalker channels on YT but I will add your one to that as well. Stay frosty Stalker! 👊
Ayyy welcome back big dog
Thanks man, this vid is really informative on the the game lore as I never played Stalker. I am really looking forward to Stalker 2.
Hope they don't go through with the in game NFT's thing. Otherwise I'm cautious on looking forward to it
There's a lot of effort put into this but I can't help but notice a lot of misconception and mistakes being told here.
Like the founding of freedom being in the army warehouses, or the zombie speaking english being a stalker when it was originally from the tourist group that got lost and other mistakes
Thank you so much for this!!
Awesome vid!!
I only saw my big brother play this.
This is amazing work. What would be nice to see is an example of how the book "roadside picnic" and "metro 2033" has it relevance and contributes to the story and you should definitely speculate on how the labs in the zone are involved and such. Well fucking done. Anyone with any imagination and skill could make this another best selling novel close to that of metro 2033.
Sad, one of the devs died in the defense of Bahkmut.
Good
Did he died with swastika on his chest?

@@arberchabot8760 The what? 😂
This deserves more then just 6k likes
Great vid knew nothing about this game now I'm interested 👍👍
This is the video I wanted. Thank you.
Awesome video!! Do you think Strelok will be in Stalker 2?? I feel like he has to be to complete the story. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I cannot wait to play stalker 2.
Very good video and summary, thank you! :-)
These longer videos are great
Interesting synopsis of the story. It kind of sounds like a mix of the SCP stories and the movie annihilation
I only play two Games on my Pc and love to Immerse myself in it. Tarkov and Stalker and for both you have a excellent Lore Story that is in the back of my mind every time I player either. THX
amazing vid, I can tell how much effort you put into it man
Plated a bunch, and I already know all the lore, but I can't help but hear it again
Bravo great work, thanks
i love your videos, but have trouble hearing your intros / you speaking when there are other sounds in the video. could you please work to make your audio mixing better, making sounds other than you speaking much quieter so i can still hear you :)
Agreed, the background and ambiant sounds are at a bit too high of a level. I have Dolby sound on my device so I can do a bit of minor mixing but still couldn't get it to a comfortable level so had to just lower it almost to nothing and use captions instead. 🤷🏼♀️
Awesome! Legend!
Absolutely love it cant wait for another episode and hopefuly for traders of tarkov
Anomaly is so good man I really hope this new stalker game is going to be amazing..I have faith
It wong be like mods! Play trilogy , what do you expect from stalker 2 to be like
be better than a literal mod?@@matking898SVK
Welcome back bro
There is some errors and hole here and there (notably about Freedom creation, wich was almost a year before they came to the Army Warhouse, or the complete Strelok adventure to the center of the Zone), but overall it's a good video/entry, with excellent naration, for newcomers in the Zone to better know the lore behind these 3 wanderful games.
Dope video dawg
Best video to watch before playing Gamma mod
I've never even played this game but I love it. And this just made me wanna download gamma EVEN MORE.
play the OG's first. gamma is a good mod pack but it is not the best choice for a beginner
also gameplay wise gamma is not that different for other mods as you get a quest go out do some exploring along the way and complete the quest and after all would look for some stashes and hidden loot and you can any of this a your one pace the game is not forcing you to do any it in one way it's more like throwing in the world and telling you do whatever you want. and the quest line and side mission of gamma and mostly the same with anomaly so 90% copy and paste from the GO games. but if there's one gamma and anomaly do best is how much you can change your experience and this in my eyes is why you should look onto gamma or anomaly in general
Make sure you try EFP also.
I never played the OG Stalker games, he's right though I'd be evem more lost without having at least watched the first 3 games lol
This is awesome.
Missed you man
Very well done video
Fun fact the image at 1:01 is of an arginine plant in Rochester New York and the original Driving Park bridge (I know this because I literally live right by that building)
could you maybe make a video on games similar to stalker or fan projects around it??
seeing some attention to the stalker community would be hugely appreciated
Great Video!
Just sent this to the girlfriend who watched me play gamma for a while. She knows less than Jon Snow about the stalker universe and this was a nice little recap on the major events of the zone.
I've waited since 2007 for this...one thing I love is I don't think they change anything just maybe the story and graphics, you'll see, I'm mean clear sky swamps cordon rookie village and I think the down helicopter at yantar are all in the new videos for 2 well as far as I can tell anyway, also you have a mixture of stalker and stalker anomaly
Quality content. I was just reading about Escape From Prypiat v4.0 that released barely 10 days ago, and was thinking of trying it. Your video definitely got me in the mood.
can't wait for Stalker 2.
My only hope is that all this Russia/Ukraine crap is over soon, and the devs can go back to focusing on it.
Same, brother.
Devs are in the Czech Republic save for a few who stayed in Ukraine to fight. So at least development is still going.
@@MintyLime703 i’d say if any gave has a legit reason to delay it, its definitely this one for sure
Hey man, try GAMMA. I played EFP 3.0 a while back and it was decent, but am currently doing a GAMMA playthrough and i love it so much more. Def recommend giving both a go tho
EFP is great, but it honestly doesnt compare to GAMMA. EFP feels like a big mashup of mods, while Gamma feels like a carefully curated experience using mods.
Each has their own qualities though. If you just want to buy guns, armor etc, find tons of loot, get into tons of gunfights, and have an easier time progressing, EFP would be for you. If you want new guns to be more of a rewarding accomplishment, want to have to repair things to make them viable again, dont want to simply buy all your weapons etc but work to find them and repair them yourself, and have a longer lasting experience in which you work your way up the progression tree slowly but in a very rewarding way, GAMMA is for you.
In gamma when I built my first gun (aside from my starting weapons) I was ecstatic. When I got my first set of tools, I was ecstatic. When i killed that Military member and got the gas mask and weapon i had been looking for for so long. When I finally repaired my first piece of good armor etc. In EFP, none of this really mattered too much, because I could just grind money and buy it all.
I'd like to know more about the game itself. I'm considering buying it on Steam in the new year.
This one is a good starter. If anyone of you would like to delve further, I highly recommend Anomalous Dugout's version of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Timeline as he puts possibles and even more focus on the story itself
NBC hazmats in the game were later upgraded into CBRN hazmats and later still CBRNE armored exosuits, ukrainian factoriea near the zone produced these special equipment to handle some of the anomalies in the zone, but not all of the anomalies effects could be resisted, gravity or space-time based anomalies for example bypassed any personal protection measure implemented, easily killing stalkers that were too uparmored to run through fast enough and escape on momentum alone, this is why its not always smart to run with the heaviest armor in the zone.
legend:
NBC - is the nato designation for nuclear, biological, chemical
CBRN - is the department of disease control and prevention's designation for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear
CBRNE - is the CDC + UNISG's designation for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive
UNISG is a special taskforce of the United Nations formed by the USASF and USOF to study, contain, and protect the world from the zone. (lmao i almost did an SCP reference without thinking)
USASF (formerly USSF until the united states space force stole that moniker) is the special forces of the us military.
USOF is the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, formerly an organization formed by the Russian GRU & KGB as a branch of the Spetsnaz, it now serves the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Defense as an elite special forces group equivalent, separate fron the Security Service of Ukraine's Spetsnaz Alpha Group.
Dude ...this has got me so stoked for stalker 2...fucking amazing video bro 10/10. Im gonna read the book now, this is fuckin brilliant, this should be a well thought put and expensive TV series
Are you ever planning on making the videos you describe in the conclusion? You list quite a few things and also bring up CS and CoP.
Sick video man! What happened to the tarkov content though? Miss your videos dude
We'll come back to Tarkov eventually.
Top tear video goddamn i L.O.V.E. it❤
Please come back to this someday for the other games!
7:17 the generators map is cut but they appear on the CNPP
Superbly put together though perhaps a warning that the content contains spoilers so that they can choose whether to watch or avoid content which eg does not confirm who Strelok is. After all, Lukash and General Voronin are in my opinion not named, yet figure in most of the. Commercial games and even some of the 'standalone mods'. The building images seem in my opinion similar to the Stalker 2 trailers, nevertheless, regardless your production is, I opine, brilliant. Thanks and Regards Joe
Shit I thought you weren’t coming back glad you did though
The highly plausible theory is that C-con didn't had that much altruistic intentions- the Monolith did not build their equipment, or at least not most of it, so there is a big theory that C-Con already stocked on the experimental weaponary Monolith used after conversion to be under their orders.
It was either a main plan or a "Plan B" if the first idea of touching the Noosphere wouldn't work, at least in my opinion.
Ridding humanity off individuality, no matter how much problems said individuality causes, is not a solution, or at least not one that allows further positive progress- ridding a species off individuality will halt it's development as ideas and changes come from there being many creative people rather than one
Thank you good man :D
You should do a video on the new stalker when it comes out
3:22 little did they know that the term liquidators would be sadly fitting as sadly been exposed to that level of radiation would basically liquidate their insides, if they were lucky they wouldn’t live to see their body’s rotting before their eyes.
Damn, it looks good.
