Colleagues Part 3 Quest in Escape From Tarkov Explained

[18th March 2023] Update: Battlestate Games updates Colleagues Part 3 Quest

Initially, players had to hand over the TerraGroup Labs keycard (Blue) and TerraGroup Labs keycard (Green) to the Therapist in return for two TerraGroup Labs keycards (Violet). The problem, however, with this quest was that players were investing a lot of money for basically nothing in return. Since the Blue and Green keycards are extremely expensive and the Violet ones are nowhere close to the cost of them, Battlestate Games has made Colleagues Part 3 Quest a bit more rewarding with the latest update.

Now, the current update still mandates the following:

• Do not kill Sanitar

• Find AHF1-M stimulant injector and hand it over 

• Find 3-(b-TG) stimulant injector and hand over the injector

However, instead of the Blue and Green keycards, players will have to turn in ten TerraGroup Labs access keycards with the found in raid status. The rewards for Colleagues Part 3 Quest have also been slightly changed. As one of the rewards, you will get a TerraGroup Labs keycard (Black) keycard instead of two violet ones. 

On Reddit, one user posted, “It looks like Colleagues Part 3 only needs 10 labs keycards now + the stims instead of a Green and Blue. Anything else new?” Another Redditor replied, “This quest feels very much worth in comparison to killing Sanitar now. Think killing Sanitar now needs buffed up rewards to make it more worthwhile, because the single Reap-IR doesn't really compare here.”

The Colleagues Part 3 Quest is given by trader Elvira Khabibullina, known by her alias "Therapist." The quest comes after completing Colleagues Part 2. The quest line began with the Therapist asking the players to go check on the groups of people she dispatched to track a doctor and make a good deal with him on the Shoreline in order to gain some medical knowledge. The first part of the quest ended when we discovered all the people that she hired were dead. In Colleagues Part 2, we obtained and handed over Sanitar’s (doctor) surgery kit and ophthalmoscope.

This is where the quest line gets interesting, players can either choose to do Colleagues Part 3 quest given by the Therapist or choose to do the Huntsman Path - Sadist Quest given by Jaeger. If you choose this quest, this guide will walk you through the objectives and the rewards.

Here’s all you need to know about Colleagues Part 3 Quest that happens on Lab, the sixth location that was added to the game.

Colleagues Part 3 Quest Guide

When you meet the Therapist again she says you don’t have to kill Sanitar and that she does understand Jaeger’s point of view. However, she says she’s sure that Sanitar is just trying to help the locals and that he performs the most complex surgeries. “A doctor with access to a warehouse of medicines that are extremely important to us. And he has already entered into negotiations with me and will soon begin to cooperate. But for this, I need something that will interest him and I think I know what will: the Laboratory,” she adds.  She also directs you to access keys and samples of military stimulants since she believes those are what he bases his experiments on. 

The key objectives of Colleagues Part 3 quest are as follows:

• Do not kill Sanitar

• Obtain 10 TerraGroup Labs access keycards (found in raid)

• Find AHF1-M stimulant injector (found in raid)

• Hand over the injector

• Find 3-(b-TG) stimulant injector (found in raid)

• Hand over the injector

One of the places to find the items needed is in Sanitar’s office in the Lab location. However, to open his office, you would need a keycard with a blue marking. You will most probably get all of the stimulants in two runs if you manage to live.
