Quests needed to Access Lightkeepers Room and Lighthouse Island

In order to access the Lightkeepers room and Lighthouse Island, you much complete the Light Keepers Quest and Lighthouse Quest. The Light Keepers Quest is available at level 20 after completing the SHoreline map. The quest is completed by doing tasks for Prapor and bringing him specific items. The Lighthouse quest is accessed and completed the same way but at level 25. You must talk to the character named Therapist instead.

Getting to Lighthouse Island and Lightkeepers Room

Completing these quests is honestly the easy part. The real difficulty is getting across the landmine-filled bridge in order to explore and access the room and island.

The best trick you do to minimize the most amount of damage is walking backward. Get your lay of the area you’re walking through for a few steps, then turn around and walk backward until a few mines explode. This should cause the least amount of damage to you. Be sure to still have plenty of items to heal you up because you will still take damage.

Once you get about halfway there is a walking ledge waterway just to the right side bridge. Slide down there and continue to walk backward. Check your path every half-dozen steps or so. You will reach the end of the bridge in no time taking almost half the damage you normally would!

Important note, there are mostly landmines near boxes, concrete blocks, and trucks. So keep an eye out and slowly walk backward when you are near them to maximize minimal damage.

The Lighthouse and Lightkeepers Room

Once you’ve done this you’ve made it to the lighthouse island! The lightkeeper’s room is on floor 3. There are 7 floors in the lighthouse. Remember you have to complete the two quests and be up to level 25 before you get access to the room so be sure to complete those quests way before you cross the landmine bridge!
