Cursed Station Dominates Metro 2033

This guide helps players navigate the challenging "Cursed" mission in Metro 2033, clarifying objectives and locations. The mission begins after a railcar journey, leading players to a group of defenders at barricaded escalators.

Locating the Bomb

The defenders explain that an explosives team went missing while attempting to collapse a tunnel to stop nosalis attacks. The player must find and detonate the bomb. Nosalis attacks are constant; retreat to the defenders for support if overwhelmed. The bomb is located at the far end of the right-hand tunnel. Avoid the ghostly shadows to prevent damage. After retrieving the bomb, either proceed to the adjacent tunnel or retreat if necessary.

Destroying the Tunnel

To detonate the bomb, enter the left-hand tunnel (from the defenders' perspective) and wait for the cutscene. Artyom automatically plants and lights the fuse; escape the blast zone immediately to avoid death. Alternatively, a grenade or pipe bomb can collapse the tunnel, though nosalis will still infiltrate through other routes.

Destroying the Airlock

After destroying the tunnel, collapse the airlock to further secure the station. Climb the stairs to the right of the main platform, to the torchlit area. Ignore the nosalis and interact with the support columns to plant a pipe bomb. Evacuate immediately after lighting the fuse. Following the collapse of both entrances, proceed with Khan to the shrine room and the next mission, "Armory."
