Walkthrough

“	The pieces of the puzzle are falling together, and the big picture is horrifying and unbelievable. I will tell the other about this, but I still can't make myself believe it. The Reds have infected Oktyabrskaya, a peaceful station, denizens of which never suspected anything, with an unknown deadly virus. And then their mop-up squads entered it under the pretense of saving the station from the epidemic and eliminated everyone they could - women, children, old people, to prevent the infection from spreading...and if all this is, then me and Anna could be infected, too. We've been saved from being killed, but we don't know if we're going to survive for long.	„
— Level description

Quarantine is the twenty-first level in Metro: Last Light.

Diary Entries

27. After being locked in a sealed room where a doctor explains to a soldier that The Virus is a bioweapon, head around the desk on the right. The note is on the desk in front of you.

28. After meeting Khan, he will go left toward a door to the armory to negotiate passage. Instead, head down the right hall, and the note is on a desk.

Moral Points

Gain:

• In the first section, listen to the entirety of three conversations: the sick father and daughter, the pacing doctor and yellow suit masked guard next to the stairs, and a doctor talking to a soldier who got infected trying to comfort the infected children.
• In the next section, listen to the entirety of four conversations: the amputated doctor with a girl, a doctor with a soldier checking a dead body near the cassette player, two doctors in a confined area with a patient being scanned, and a man on a gurney talking to a doctor about going home because he is sure that he only has a cold (this conversation will only start after the conversation between a doctor and a colonel from decontamination room finishes).
• Pick up the four MGR stashes in the abandoned part of the station. There are actually five MGR stashes, but only four are needed. The first is hidden behind the door where Artyom initially enters and can only be claimed once he proceeds down the stairs and the door closes. The second one is in a train car window behind the sink with a quarantine skull sign. The third is in a train car window at the left of the path before the beginning of the long corridor with some fire barrels. The fourth is in a broken window on the right side of the long corridor, near where you first start heading down it. The last one is in the window on the right side of the beginning of the long corridor section with growing mushrooms. Finding all four will also get you the "Forgotten" achievement/trophy.
• After meeting up with Khan, there is a man asking the guard to let him go inside the quarantine zone and retrieve some insulin. After he is refused, go up to him and he should ask you for help. Give him the bullets to earn a point.
• In the last section, listen to the entirety of four conversations: a ranger and a Hanza commander talking about the Reds' attack (this conversation will only start after the conversation of the insulin guy and the guard finishes), a refugee who is struggling to get through the Hanza station due to lack of papers, a Hanza sergeant and a worker talking about the quarantine near the second diary note location, and the three Hanza soldiers in armory gathered around a desk with a lamp discussing the Polis rangers (this conversation will only start after Khan finishes talking about stocking up filters and ammo).

• Ghostly whispers can be heard by standing at the quarantine fence across from the sealed door at the start of the abandoned section, near the water fountains. 

Achievements/Trophies

	Find the Hidden Ammo in the abandoned part of the station on the QUARANTINE level

Bugs

• If you wish to buy or customize a Helsing at the weapon shop in this level, do not buy Helsing bolts before customizing or buying a Helsing. Due to a bug, the game will reset your Helsing ammunition counter to zero every time you open the customization menu for the Helsing. The only workaround for this bug is to buy/customize your Helsing before you buy any Helsing bolts, then buy Helsing bolts and refrain from opening the Helsing's customization menu again. Please note that any previous bolts you picked up in earlier levels will be "forgotten" by the game should you open the Helsing's customization menu at all in this level.
