How to Unlock Lightkeeper in Tarkov: To the Light, Trader LL3 and the Bridge

Lightkeeper is the trader inside the lighthouse building on the Lighthouse map of Escape from Tarkov (EFT). Mechanic's To the Light questline opens him to you.

Progress your story chapters, then ask Mechanic about working with Lightkeeper. Trust but Verify, the opening To the Light quest, needs loyalty level 3 with the traders below.

Trader	PMC level for LL3	Reputation for LL3
Jaeger	17	2.10
Therapist	18	2.10
Peacekeeper	19	2.20
Skier	22	2.10
Mechanic	26	2.30
Ragman	27	2.00

Ragman sets the highest level: his loyalty level 3 needs PMC level 27. Mechanic follows at PMC level 26 and asks for the most reputation, 2.30. Ragman's Ballet Lover quest pays 0.25 of the 2.00 reputation his loyalty level 3 asks for.

Mechanic gives every quest in this list, in this order.

1. Trust but Verify on The Lab: stash the hard drive with false data in the server room by the weapon testing area. Extract through the Ventilation Shaft in the same raid, with no backpack.
2. False Call on Customs: kill 5 Scavs and 1 PMC between 21:00 and 06:00. In the same raid, hide a Wi-Fi camera at the store's air conditioner and fire a yellow flare at the Shoreline transit.
3. Someone Called?: return to your hideout.
4. Clip Their Wings on Woods, Customs and Shoreline: plant 4 signal jammers in 1 raid, using the transits between the maps. The spots are the Woods weather station, the sawmill guardhouse, the Customs roadside construction site and the Health Resort archive.
5. Fallen Bird: return to your hideout.
6. Dangerous Ambitions: hand the amulet from Lightkeeper to Peacekeeper.
7. A Time to Throw Stones on The Lab: kill 2 PMCs in 1 raid.
8. A Time to Gather Stones: hand over 3 PMC dogtags of level 30 or higher.
9. The Other Side on Reserve, Streets of Tarkov and Customs: plant the TerraGroup documents in the marked room on each map.
10. Getting Acquainted on Lighthouse: find the V3 flash drive at the Rogue base chalets. Reflash the DSP transmitter at Intelligence Center level 2, hand over the drive and visit the lighthouse building.

Some of these quests open on a timer after the one before. Trust but Verify pays 2 TerraGroup Labs access keycards, and A Time to Throw Stones sends you back to The Lab.

Lightkeeper waits on the 3rd floor of the lighthouse building. A bridge guarded by Zryachiy and his followers leads there.

Getting Acquainted unlocks the DSP transmitter craft at Intelligence Center level 2. Keep your hideout powered while the transmitter reflashes.

• Put the encoded DSP transmitter in your special slot before you reach the bridge.
• With it equipped, Zryachiy and his followers hold fire.
• The claymores on the bridge switch off for you.
• Every player in your group needs an encoded transmitter. Go solo if a squadmate has none.
• Keep your distance from Zryachiy and never aim at him. Getting close or aiming turns his group on you.

Lightkeeper's own quests start once you visit him. The next table lists them in order.

More on the LEDX Skin Transilluminator is in the Tarkov LEDX guide. Spotter uses the same Primorsky 46-48 skybridge key as Ballet Lover.

The Ticket story chapter adds the step "Gain access to Lightkeeper" for players who gave the armored case to Prapor. The To the Light questline opens Lightkeeper, which is what that step asks for.

Work through the quests above from Trust but Verify. Getting Acquainted ends with your visit to the lighthouse building, and Lightkeeper opens to you.
