On Day 5, the Bachelor will find Willow Mellow at Andrey Stamatin's Pub.

On Day 7, after discovering that Eva Yan is missing and receiving a message via Ayan from Andrey, the Bachelor will look for him at his pub.

Haruspex Route
The Haruspex can trade Herbs and Twyrine to Andrey Stamatin in exchange for Rifle Ammo, Revolver Ammo, Shotgun Ammo, and Shotguns starting from Day 2.

On Day 2, Andrey Stamatin and Peter Stamatin will be in his pub. Andrey will ask the Haruspex to bring him 10 sprigs of Brown Twyre in exchange for 4000 coins. Maria Kaina will also appear in Andrey Stamatin's Pub after accepting his request after a certain amount of time has passed.

On Day 5, Willow Mellow will be found inside the pub. After speaking with her, she can then be found outside in the area behind the pub.

On Day 12, as Andrey Stamatin is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of Andrey Stamatin's Pub with Andrey being infected inside.

On Day 5, the Changeling will be asked by Katerina Saburova to convert the Stamatin siblings from the 'heresy of the Utopians'. As Peter Stamatin will only entertain Katerina's request if his brother does, the Changeling must speak with Andrey in his pub. The conversation turns hostile as she and Andrey argue their faith in theology and God, and he sends her away.

This argument has no impact on the player's ability to barter with Andrey.

On Day 11, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to deliver some documents to the Bachelor. While looking for the Bachelor, the Changeling will overhear that the Andrey has been arrested by mutinous troops and the Bachelor has gone to free him.

If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Andrey Stamatin a Shmowder or a Panacea to cure him.

On Day 2, if the Haruspex gains access to his father’s house and finds the key to his laboratory, he can visit Vlad the Younger in the Broken Heart once more to ask about the secret lair, as the note with the key was signed “V.O”.

On Day 3, Georgiy Kain will ask the Haruspex to confirm Andrey and Peter’s safety after the outbreak hits the town. Andrey will be in the Broken Heart, unthreatened by plague, and will demand the Haruspex confirm his brother’s safety instead. Notkin and Khan will also be found here, discussing a plan to visit a “dead house” in the Crude Sprawl, which may be a hotbed for infection.
