Therapist

Escape From Tarkov “A Simple Task in a Difficult Place” Quest Guide

A Simple Task in a Difficult Place is Therapist’s follow-up to Hidden Route. This time, finding the passage is not enough: you need to enter The Lab and make it out with the Survived raid status.

Requirements and Objective

  • Complete Hidden Route, then accept this task from Therapist.
  • Survive and extract from The Lab.

Therapist supplies one TerraGroup Labs access keycard as initial equipment. Take the ordinary access card for entry; colored keycards are not required by this quest.

How to Complete the Quest

  1. Check that the quest is active before entering The Lab. Collect the supplied access keycard and prepare your loadout before committing to the raid.
  2. Plan an extraction rather than looking for a fight. There is no kill requirement, item pickup or boss objective in this task. Check your available exits and work toward one you can reach.
  3. Avoid a Run-Through. Stay in the raid for at least seven minutes or earn at least 200 EXP through kills or looting before extracting.
  4. Leave through a valid Lab extraction and check the result. The raid must end with Survived status. Return to Therapist to complete the quest.

Getting out quickly is not automatically a successful attempt. A Run-Through does not complete this task, even though you extracted alive. Check the status on the raid-results screen before turning your attention to the next quest.

Rewards

  • 18,000 EXP
  • One Health skill level
  • 350,000 Roubles before Intelligence Center bonuses
  • Three Zagustin hemostatic drug injectors
  • Three Propital regenerative stimulant injectors
  • Two Golden Star balms

Completing the task unlocks Extending the Operation. This is an event quest, not a permanent trader-progression task.
