Guide
This quest will tell you about a mysterious cult that has settled in the territory of Tarkov.
You can start the quest by picking up and reading a note about the "Eye of the World", or by killing a Cultist. Notes appear in marked circles scattered throughout Tarkov.
To progress through the quest, you need to go to the Lighthouse map, to the area of the flooded village. The required house is located in the center of the eastern part of the village.
Inside the premises, there is a torture room where you can find an audio cassette on a chair and the victim's apartment key on the table.
The key indicates an apartment located in the central part of the city. It is located on the Streets of Tarkov map, in the courtyard behind the shopping center on Klimov Street. You need to go up to the second floor of the building. The apartment will be located on the right side of the staircase. Inside the apartment, you will notice a white door that needs to be kicked in. You need to search the room and find the first audio cassette of the cult victim.
At this stage, the investigation reaches a dead end, and you can't do without the help of traders. You need to go to Mechanic, but he doesn't provide specific information - you need to look for information among the cultists.
Next, to progress through the quest, you need to kill 2 cultist priests. After killing them, nothing of interest is found, and the character decides that the next step in the investigation should be to study the cultists' gathering places. These are marked rooms. Upon entering, read the priest's note lying on the shelf in the closet.
Now we need to find 3 locations marked with the "Eye of the World", we need to search in Customs, Lighthouse and Woods.
Heading to Customs, take a toolkit with you. The location we need for the storyline, called the "Sordi" watchtower, is located at the communication tower near the "Road to Customs" exit, in an orange temporary building. First, just enter inside and the storyline will update.
Now we need to inspect the surroundings - next to the tower lies the corpse of a man named Igor - apparently a former TerraGroup programmer who became a sectarian towards the end of his life. We will have to take a note from his hands, which will tell us that the "Sordi" tower needs to be repaired.
Head back to the weather station, repair the "Sordi," and exit the location.
The next stop is Woods. There are two houses in the old village that need to be visited as part of the story. First, enter the house between the village and the church, and then the house in the center of the village. Notably, this house has a board with photographs of objects important to the Cult. A piece of the Tarkov Lights newspaper is hanging on it, which can be read.
The last map will be Lighthouse, it's all quite simple. We come to the lower shack, find the room ransacked by the cultists and a note on its balcony.
Next, exit the chalet and head towards the two-story house nearby. In front of it, there is a quad bike with the key to 14-4 KORD station, a semi-mythical station of the ARRS observation system, a stream from which was used to announce and show the first episode of the Raid series. Exit Customs.
Talk to Mechanic. The conversation unlocks level 1 workbench crafting. Use the crafted key to restart the station.
After completing the crafting process, take a regular flash drive and an access card with you and head to the Interchange. You need to reach the Power Plant, turn on the power at the station, and descend to the basement. Open the door with the access card, use the pass inside, and install the flash drive to download the data.
After turning on the circuit breaker in the server room and installing the flash drive, a safe opens at the entrance where you can retrieve the mysterious cultist tape. The quest requires you to survive and exit the Interchange.
After returning to the Hideout, we need to return to the Interchange and retrieve the flash drive with the downloaded data from the server. We go down to the station, where the player has the opportunity to immediately take the quest flash drive or get a hidden achievement.
To obtain the achievement, you need to disconnect the station from external agents. This can be done using the button under the table in the server room. Now you can safely retrieve the previously installed flash drive and return to Mechanic.
Hidden achievement "And the Light Went Out"
Hand over the flash drive to the trader and collect the ARRS system specification via in-game mail. Read it, after which the storyline will end and the player will receive the "Through Other Eyes" achievement.
