Here's how to unlock the Lightkeeper (Escape from Tarkov)
If you want to make your Escape from Tarkov character as strong as it can be, you need to shake hands with all the important NPCs and be in good terms with them. The Lightkeeper is an example of such an NPC and in this brief but informative blog post you'll find all you need to know to make the most of what he offers.
Who is the Lightkeeper?
THe Lightkeeper is a trader in Escape from Tarkov. He offers lots of quests and sells services instead of goods which is unique for an EFT trader. You can find the Lightkeeper inside the Lighthouse building on the 3rd floor. The map where you can find the building is also called the Lighthouse.
Just don't try heading to that place without completing prerequisites. That will end badly as the bridge to the Lighthouse building is mined and guarded by snipers. To learn how to overcome all those obstacles, read on! But first let's talk about why you should actually spend your time on it.
Is unlocking him worth the time?
The Lightkeeper is a rare kind of a trader: he doesn't sell any goods but he offers several useful services. The total number of them is 3 and below you can find their description:
| SERVICE | COST | UNLOCK QUEST | INFO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rogue support |
| Provocation | Rogues don't attack you during 1 raid. Moreover, they will provide fire support by attacking your targets. |
| Sacred amulet |
| Snatch | Cultists don't attack you until provoked (excluding Zryachiy's guards). Has 7 charges. You can unequip it to save charges for later. |
| Zryachiy support |
| Make an Impression | Zryachiy supports you by firing at your targets. |

How do you unlock the Lightkeeper?
This process consists of 3 parts:
- Raising the Scav Karma to 1.0
- Completing all the prerequisite quests
- Completing a special questline
The first 2 parts can be done simultaneously, while the third one can only be started after the first two are finished. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Raise your Scav Karma to 1.0

| 0.05 | Help a Scav Boss |
| up to 0.04 (from 0.01) | Complete a Scav Task as a Scav |
| 0.03 | Kill a traitor Scav as a Scav |
| 0.02 | Help a Scav Boss Guard |
| 0.02 | As a Scav, kill a PMC that has killed a Scav |
| up to 0.02 (from 0.01) | Help a Scav |
| 0.01 | Extract as a Scav |
