The Graven Image quest introduces a new boss in Escape from Tarkov, currently exclusive to the Halloween event. The quest requires you to eliminate the new cultist bosses and even gives you two expensive keys as a reward. Here’s how to find these cultist bosses and finish the Graven Image quest in Escape from Tarkov’s Halloween event.
How to Complete the Graven Image Task in Escape from Tarkov
To finish the Graven Image quest, you must finish the following objectives:
- Locate and neutralize the Oni
- Locate and neutralize the Harbinger
- Locate and neutralize the Ghost
The Predvestnik or Harbinger is a cultist boss accompanied by two special goons, the Oni and the Ghost. Both are equally as dangerous as the cultist boss and have specific spawns. They only have a 50% chance to spawn in the following maps:
- Customs
- Shoreline
- Lighthouse
- Woods
In Customs, they spawn in Stronghold. In Woods, they spawn in the Northwest Scav Bunker. For Shoreline, they spawn exclusively in the Weather Station. In Lighthouse, there are two possible spawn locations: the north water treatment plant building and the chalet.
It can be confusing since these hooded men or cultists may look like the cultist Priest and his warriors. However, as long as you play on the maps listed above and go to the specific areas mentioned, you should encounter the Harbinger eventually. Here’s a guide on the boss and cultist spawns during the event.
If you want a more efficient or safe way to fight these cultists, you can run Lighthouse and try to rush the chalet as fast as possible. There are two possible spawns for the Harbinger in Lighthouse, and you’ll have to hit two 50-50s to see them in the chalet. The reason why it is safer here is because there are a few spawns that are close to the location and a Red Rebel extraction near the chalet as well.
If they didn’t spawn, you can immediately extract them and repeat the process until they do spawn and you complete the task. You can also finish other Lighthouse quests like Easy Job Part 1 or even the Lightkeeper quests if you are further in your progression.
