All Poems in Quarantine Zone The Last Check: Where to Find Them
Finding all poems in Quarantine Zone The Last Check is tied to the Ask Your Mom quest, and it works very differently from normal exploration. If you are stuck and feel like nothing is spawning, you are not missing anything. The poems only appear one at a time and must be found in order.
This guide explains exactly how the poem system works and how to finish the quest without guessing.
How the Poem Quest Actually Works
The poem objective is completely linear. You cannot collect poems freely and you cannot skip ahead.
Only one poem exists at a time. The next poem will not appear until you interact with the previous one. This is why players feel stuck even though they see footprints.
The footprints are not decorative. They are the only way the game guides you.
Where the Poem Quest Starts
The first poem is always near your sleeping area.
Go to the wall directly across from your command center bedroom or tent. Turn on your flashlight and check the wall carefully. This interaction starts the chain properly.
If you miss this first poem, nothing else will progress.
How to Follow the Footprints
After each poem, red footprints appear on the ground. These footprints lead you to the next poem location.
Sometimes the footprints stop suddenly. This does not mean the quest is bugged. It means the next poem has not been triggered yet or you have not interacted with the previous one.
Always look at walls near where the footprints end.
Why Poems Feel Impossible to Find
There are three common reasons players get stuck.
The flashlight is off, making poems almost invisible
Players search randomly instead of following footprints
Players expect all poems to exist at once
Turning on the flashlight solves most of the frustration instantly.
General Poem Locations You Will Visit
The poems appear around your base and unlock in sequence.
Wall near your bedroom or tent
Interior storage or work areas
Laboratory related rooms
Hallway walls between sections
Elevated areas like guard towers
If you reach a location early and see nothing, it means you skipped a step.
What to Do If You Cannot Progress
If progress stops completely, do the following.
Return to your bedroom area
Turn on the flashlight
Look for the last poem you interacted with
Follow the footprints again from that point
The system will resume once the correct poem is found.
Final Blurb
Finding all poems in Quarantine Zone The Last Check is not about searching harder, but about understanding the sequence. The poems spawn one by one, guided by footprints, and only progress when the last one is triggered. Use the flashlight, trust the trail, and the quest finishes cleanly without bugs.
