Atomic Heart is packed full of secret things. Secret Training facilities, hidden crafting recipes, obscure puzzles, and more can be found in nearly every building P-3 visits. There’s plenty to discover and do in Atomic Heart if players take the time to scan their surroundings and interact with everything.

One such hidden objective is finding four students that were on a tour of the All-Soviet Exhibition Center during “Uneasy Lies the Head That Wears a Crown.” Their tour guide lost them in the commotion when the robots malfunctioned. Now dead but polymerized, she expresses deep concern over their well-being. She implores P-3 to discover their fate, and he begrudgingly agrees.

Tour Guide

The tour guide herself can be found on the top floor of the famous Exhibition Center. She’s distraught about the students that were on the tour with her. She’s uncertain as to their fate and would like to at least know what happened to them before she herself shuffles off into oblivion. Promising to help calms her down, but she has nothing in the way of real advice on where to look.

Student #1

This self-important student is in the Experimental Botanical Complex on the first floor. He’s lying in the hallway after the stairs just before the last room. He has some demands to make of P-3, and he seems to think they matter a great deal.

Student #2

Another student can be found in the Experimental Medical Complex in the first large, white room of that wing. It’s on the second floor. She has little to say, being stuck in a loop of terror.

Student #3

This student is out in the open on the first floor, near the stairwell that’s opposite the tour guide. She’s depressed, but death has given her a new lease on life. Unfortunately, she won’t have long to enjoy it.

The final student is next to the relay that P-3 has to solve to fire up the Neural Network. Technically, he isn’t in the Exhibition Hall, but the dialogue options make it clear that he counts for the objective. They also make it clear that this student has a careless attitude about the death of his fellow students.

Returning to the Tour Guide

Upon returning to the tour guide, P-3 informs her that he’s discovered all the students. Tragically, they met the same fate as her. She bemoans the loss of life, but ultimately thanks P-3 for his help. She mentions that she doesn’t have anything with which to reward P-3, but games in this genre often use misdirection. This does get the player some progress on “The Necromancer” achievement, but there might be more that hasn’t been discovered.

The tour guide specifically mentions that she doesn’t have any sort of “access codes” to give out. However, she’s surrounded by blocks and boxes with various number and letter combos. It’s unclear if they mean anything, but for the sake of completeness, the sequences are:

  • A6/6A
  • 69A
  • 38
  • 4567
  • 3468
  • 3678

Atomic Heart is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
