Oh wow, canadian here, is that what real French sounds like? Coulda fooled me thought you were slavic Canadian French is a bastardization of the language lol
This is one of the best fan theories I've seen so far, matching the details in a surprising way - especially considering that it probably wasn't really intended by the developers. And damn, Tejas is a legend, it's great that he's around.
I approve this video. Since I am of course, Tejas Stalker. I would like to show my incredible appreciation to Anomalous Dugout, for taking the time to listen to me but most of all creating this video and making everything so easy to understand. A fantastic video! Remember, that despite what GSC may have intended originally to have Scar kill Fang, they didn't do that in the games. We have to consider only what we see in Clear Sky and what is said in Shadow of Chernobyl, as the only accurate and complete information we have to work with. Most likely Ghost found out later, from other people still in the Army Warehouses, that it was Clear Sky and Scar, that was chasing after Strelok, Ghost and Fang. The information was spread by rumors or was leaked, that Scar went after Strelok and Clear Sky hired Leshiy, the only available Mercenary who was disguised as a Loner. There are no other Bandits available anywhere, to enter the Red Forest from Limansk, who run into Leshiy and owed Clear Sky a favor. Most likely Leshiy took the Bandits as a decoy, to trick Ghost and Fang by their presence, where he was then able to kill Fang. Ghost was most likely so distraught by Fang's death, that he was unable to prevent Leshiy from escaping. We see in Shadow of Chernobyl, that Leshiy now in a Freedom suit, wears a gas mask so you cannot see his face. Depending on how you play Shadow of Chernobyl, the Marked One might kill Twig and/or Leshiy by rolling a barrel at them and shooting it to explode, to get Twig's rifle (without damaging your relationship with Freedom) for Colonel Petrenko's mission to get the Sniper SGI from Twig. Leshiy may die there by the Marked One or might survive. Strelok never realizes he meets or kills the very person that killed Fang. My thanks again to Anomalous Dugout, for creating this awesome video and showing everyone, what I had only put into words. I am so happy for this incredible video.
This is the only theory that doesnt have massive holes in it (aka the most plausible) and addresses every single factor in a reasonable manner. Immediately won me over.
I have always just thought since Lebedev said he would deal with it that a random ClearSky squad killed Fang and Ghost just Misidentyfied them since clear sky was mainly hidden and have also bluish uniforms like the mercs
Honestly, this sounds very coherent. Even accounts for dev sloppiness on minor details. But ultimately, it doesn't seem slapped together in conspiracy.
Imagine Columbo in the Zone! He'd probably work "with" but not "for" Duty. 0:42 Tejas gave me the nickname "Flayer." Says I live up to it better than the bandit "master of entertainment" who goes by that name.
I know it's non-related, but imagine the boom in Dugout's videos once STALKER 2 get's out, i can only dream about it, but this waiting is surely worth it
GSC: Cuts out things from the game for 1432th time and make more plotholes Fans: It's stalkin' lore time If something makes sense doesn't mean it's true. But it's pretty good head canon I guess
This theory actually makes sense, if only this was actually intended by developers. Considering how much Clear Sky changed from its original concept, I wouldn't be surprised that they intended to put this into a game, but for some reason they didn't, and Scar's eye color was probably just an oversight.
Nice, btw here is a video idea I played through the games many times and even though I played shooters with realistic ballistics where you can shoot through walls I never felt like I noticed it in STALKER. Was blown away recently after I booted up SoC and thested some bullets through different materiel and it turns out to be a effective strategy if you know what you are doing. I showed this to friends who played it too and they never noticed it before either. Probably bc the guns feel so floaty. A video about ballistics and penetration through objects would be an interesting watch, since I assume a lot of players never even noticed it like me.
Initially, Messer (og protagonist of Stalker Oblivion Lost, also the guy that you see wearing your armor in inventory in SoC) was supposed to be Fang's killer. But in this theory details seem to fit together so neatly, developers would be wise to run with it
Anomalous Ton vidéos sont très intéressant et entretenaient. Continue comme ça ! I hope I spelled everything correctly, I’m still studying French. Greetings from Italy !
i was friendly with the bandits; i can't remember for sure but i think they followed me, i know the alley bandits helped me in the gunfight til i got to a certain car.
There is a Russian STALKER short film on UA-cam, in which Fang turns out to be alive. "You don't usually see a dead man buried in two different graves"
Maybe, but after 11-12 years it takes between CS and S2 one would think that Fang's death won't be relevant. Unless Leshiy appears as fairly important NPC.
@@themaniomarian What if surviving members of Strelok's crew wanted to find Leshiy and eliminate him in revenge for Fang? Could be a simple hit for a sidequest but idk. lol. I'm really just guessing tbh.
@@anomalousdugout9557 I guess the real tell would be if Leshiy was in the game, but that doesn't necessarily confirm anything... just means he's still around. I wonder if we'll encounter more than just the doc, in terms of old members of Strelok's group while exploring S2. Anyway, fantastic video! always fun to explore theories and putting together the timelines from CS & SOC.
@@rudolph2937 its a fucking disgrace! a disrespect to not only the great trilogy but also the book and the movie as well. if i wanted to play tarkov or dayz, id go play them. why mod the soul out of STALKER?
Nice work , Tejas was a Legend in all this games and Mods, since dont exist a portuguese patchs I played in Spanish but many details are escaping to me, well in general if are 1 million players of this game I think none just thinking abouth Fang Death, also playing Mods dont contribute for a right answers.
@@anomalousdugout9557 but leshiy has a sunrise suit,i dont doubt that ghost got his facial charateristics with binoculars before getting out of that situation alive BUT the suit doesnt allow for determing which faction he is a part of
@@m.a2894 Still doesnt make sense, since yk,mercs can shoot bandits if they want (the technical relations you see in the gamefiles arent always lore accurate!!! And if you want to talk about SOC,i can explain why only there it makes sense).
The one thing that just doesnt work with this theory is that leshiys description does not fit his model whatsoever. I feel that if they found it important enough to describe a scar on his face and the color of his eyes they would have bothered adjusting the character model to look like that.... still a nice theory
Did you ever look at Strelok/Marked One in SoC in the third person? He has a huge scar on his face too. That means nothing. I'm sure a lot of people that survived in the Zone for any length of time have scars, cuts and abrasions. That could have easily been a description passed onto Ghost when he was trying to uncover the details of who ambushed them as told by others. Eyewitnesses are notorious in real life, for getting details wrong, including eye color. Google it.
oh the hood (cordon) is gonna love this
my theory is that the Zone cloned Scar to kill Fang, but the Zone forgot his contact lenses
Could be!
fang is the only word where i felt your french
Understandable.
Oh wow, canadian here, is that what real French sounds like? Coulda fooled me thought you were slavic
Canadian French is a bastardization of the language lol

Hello Tejas 👋
Nice theory brother
Hello Tejas, I'm really glad I made this video thanks to your brilliant theory!
Bro you're really a legendary stalker, respect
This is the only theory that doesnt have massive holes in it (aka the most plausible) and addresses every single factor in a reasonable manner.
Immediately won me over.
Nice!
that's a good one
Considering that CS was released after ShoC you would think that they would care about giving Scar those hazel eyes... but nah
Absolutely.
A very good theory! I'm glad you were able to make a video sharing it
Really interesting video. Can't wait for all the other ones once S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is out! :)
Thank you Dreamer!
I swear you guys know S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lore better than the developers themselves
Thought you stopped adding new materials, I'm glad you're doing what you're doing, imo one of the best stalker channels on youtube.
Thanks!
I have always just thought since Lebedev said he would deal with it that a random ClearSky squad killed Fang and Ghost just Misidentyfied them since clear sky was mainly hidden and have also bluish uniforms like the mercs
Honestly, this sounds very coherent. Even accounts for dev sloppiness on minor details. But ultimately, it doesn't seem slapped together in conspiracy.
BRO'S BACK!!!!
Of course.
Imagine Columbo in the Zone! He'd probably work "with" but not "for" Duty.
0:42 Tejas gave me the nickname "Flayer." Says I live up to it better than the bandit "master of entertainment" who goes by that name.
Nice nickname!
@@anomalousdugout9557 Thankee!
Who else is praying on near hourly basis that the next thing GSC says is *not* "So anyway, we are gonna delay the game agai-"
I know it's non-related, but imagine the boom in Dugout's videos once STALKER 2 get's out, i can only dream about it, but this waiting is surely worth it
We will see what happens.
I bet even GSC don't even know who the killer is.
Im so glad this channel exists
GSC: Cuts out things from the game for 1432th time and make more plotholes
Fans: It's stalkin' lore time
If something makes sense doesn't mean it's true. But it's pretty good head canon I guess
The man Himself! He is back!
Yes :)
This theory actually makes sense, if only this was actually intended by developers. Considering how much Clear Sky changed from its original concept, I wouldn't be surprised that they intended to put this into a game, but for some reason they didn't, and Scar's eye color was probably just an oversight.
your cinematics are awesome, details like strelok putting his book on shelf is amazing 😮
It's not that complicated but it does the job.
Great work on the footage
That's a pretty good theory i'd say it works
Glad you like it.
Great vid, loved the explanations, like pointing out details like the bugged vintar that should be in the attic
Thank you.
What if it was the Monolith Faction? The barrier fell in Clear Sky and they were already being intercepted by the c-consciousness
Absolutely KILLER video, one of your best theories so far. Always awesome getting more content like this from you ✌️
Thanks a lot!
His name is Leshiy, that's good enough reason to suspect!
Honestly, It does make the most sense, I felt the same, they are in the exact area too
"they looked like neutral stalkers" and leshiy wearing a suit like that is for me the biggest one
14:35 damn i never knew about this
These games have a lot of surprises.
@@anomalousdugout9557 im playing stalker, and almost just only stalker since 2007, and i still learn something new. ^^
Tu m'as manqué mon frère!! Glad to have you back.
Anomalous, i want to thank you for these videos. You made me love stalker even more!
Glad to read that!
Hey, love the theory. Tejas is cool guy, congrats to you bro, if you read it!
It was Flint, he told me the story of how he did it and everything,
Typical Flint!
@@anomalousdugout9557would you make a video on the preview footages we got, so many new info
this video was great , cant wait for other misteries to be sloved 👍
Thanks!
Nice, btw here is a video idea

Very good and informative video, keep it up!
here we go! another glorious video from professor dugout
Now we only need to know what happened to father valerian
It's a nice question, since in C.S he was live in Cordon and appear dead in the Red Forest
you guys also feel sad that stalker 2 comes out in a month and there wont be any old stalker games videos for some time
We will see what happens.
I bet many of the new lore videos for S2 will have connections to the old games so they will still be shown from time to time
Some true stalkers will survive!
Initially, Messer (og protagonist of Stalker Oblivion Lost, also the guy that you see wearing your armor in inventory in SoC) was supposed to be Fang's killer. But in this theory details seem to fit together so neatly, developers would be wise to run with it
BABE! ANOMALOUS DUGOUT RELEASED A NEW THEORY VIDEO
YES
Before watching the video, my guess is that Leshiy killed Fang and joined Freedom to hide his identity.
Oh wow, that 2 bandits theory blew my mind 🤯
9:57 Look at the NPCs how they react to the situation.
I don't care what anyone says with their "theories" the one in this video is flawless.
thats a cool theory indeed :D
Anomalous Ton vidéos sont très intéressant et entretenaient. Continue comme ça !
I hope I spelled everything correctly, I’m still studying French. Greetings from Italy !
Sherlock Holmes of the zone great work bravo 👏🏼
❤ well done brotherman!
Thank you Rahmi!
Tejas!!! What a legend!
nobody killed Thong. Except for Sisqo... he even made a song about it.
i was friendly with the bandits; i can't remember for sure but i think they followed me, i know the alley bandits helped me in the gunfight til i got to a certain car.
Excellent theory... but did the developers really go to that length of detail?
this is what i always wonder too tbh
це знає лише Зона, але не скаже 🤫😸
There is a Russian STALKER short film on UA-cam, in which Fang turns out to be alive.
"You don't usually see a dead man buried in two different graves"
6:26 yes he meet guide in SoC and the doctor
I wonder if it'll be confirmed in S2?
Probably not, we'll see.
Maybe, but after 11-12 years it takes between CS and S2 one would think that Fang's death won't be relevant. Unless Leshiy appears as fairly important NPC.

Yes.
i'm curious how strelok is going to be translated in stalker 2 ? The same strelok or strilec / strilets?
Don't let me find Leshi in Stalker 2 bro, it'll be REALLY bad for him...
Nice video! Missed these types of videos. Keep making videos, anomalous
sweet glad your back bud
Thanks :)
1 Welcome back
2 I should really just try the official stalker games I cant keep playing anomaly and ignore the official ones
why are zoomers like this

Yes, you really should.

Perhaps with his binoculars?
