The false promise of safety at a mountain base.
Mount Yamantau is a location in the post-apocalyptic world of Metro Exodus, serving as a key destination for the Spartan Order.

The Spartans travel there after receiving a radio broadcast from Moscow Defense Command calling for survivors to rally at this location.
