These things you can either deal with by standing your ground in a staring contest or waste most of your ammo trying to kill itвЂ¦ essentially they are fierce and will hurt you horribly so your best line of defence is to simply run away and donвЂ™t look back.ДЄlthough your main objective is to destroy the Dark Ones, the only time they are ever referred to is if a ranger mentions something about the mission or when you are having visions of the Dark Ones. The other notable creature is the Librarian. The Dark Ones are portrayed as being hostile but nothing is said about the precautions the soldiers who encounter them went through to understand if they are indeed hostile enemies вЂ“ IвЂ™ll explain more on that in a moment.ДЄlong the way you will face creatures such as Watchers (watchmen resemble a mutated dog-like creature) Demons (a large flying beast that sometimes doesnвЂ™t want to die) and NosalisвЂ™ (a moleвЂ‘like creature with a funny looking snout). Not much is known about the Dark Ones like why they need to be eliminated or why they are deemed as dangerous even though you never face them at all in the game. ArtyomвЂ™s underlying goal in Metro 2033 Redux is to notify any other faction within the Metro tunnels as to the new threat identified as the Dark Ones and eliminate them. Joining you on your journey is a man named Miller, he is a member of the Rangers faction (a group of soldiers) and during the opening scene he is essentially a dialogue version of onscreen tutorials. To ensure authentication Hunter gives you his Ranger dogtags. This is when Hunter gives you your first mission, вЂњIf I do not return by morning get to Polis Station and find a man named MillerвЂќ. When they are all dead a Ranger runs in to announce that the Dark Ones have destroyed the outer guard post. Soon after hearing from Hunter at the infirmary your station is attacked by a horde of NosalisвЂ™. ItвЂ™s unclear as to what news they are talking about. This section of the story is later explained in the games sequel.ДЄt the start of the game you are called out of your living quarters in VDNKh, otherwise known as Exhibition Station, by your stepfather Alex (or in the books he is known as Sukhoi) who announces that Hunter, a trusted Ranger, is returning from the surface of the Metro and may have news from other stations. This story begins with Artyom, A Russian man whose mother gave him up as a child in the hope of saving him from the nuclear war destined for Moscow, during the games fictional World War III nuclear fire event which destroyed the world as we know it today.Д«efore the missiles struck Artyom and several other Moscow citizens were able to enter the underground Metro System to avoid being brutally killed by the incoming strike.
