The Labyrinth is not a map that is easily accessible from the start, and you need to go through some prerequisites and collect the required keys before venturing forth. If you are having a hard time trying to unlock the Labyrinth in Escape from Tarkov, this guide will cover the process below.
Labyrinth Unlock Guide in Escape from Tarkov

You need to collect the Knossos LLC facility key to gain access to the basement of the Admin Resort in Shoreline, which leads to the Labyrinth. There are a couple of spawn locations for the Knossos Key, and once you hit Shoreline’s Admin Resort, you get to find them all. Below are the locations you need to check out to collect just one of the keys.
All Knossos Key Locations

Possible Spawn Location #1: Find a truck parked near the west wing entrance to the resort. Enter the building through this door and proceed through the one directly ahead. Investigate the desk to find a key.

Possible Spawn Location #2: Between the western and eastern building blocks, enter the main admin building. Go up the main stairs and head left. Enter the first door on your right that has a safe and check the desk with the lamp to get a key.

Possible Spawn Location #3: Head to the back of the eastern block, opposite the playground. Enter the smaller building right in the corner and check the desk on your left to find a key.

Possible Spawn Location #4: While still at the eastern block, make your way to the western section at the back of the block. Enter and go upstairs to the second floor. Go left and enter the room to your left to find a key on the key rack. Head up to the third floor in the same building and go left again to find another room on the left. Check the key rack to find a key.
Unlocking the Labyrinth
Head back to the western wing of the resort, and this time take the stairs leading down to the basement. Go left and enter the doorway on your right. Go across the empty pool and enter the first door on your right using the Knossos Key. Enter the underground passage to find the Labyrinth door at the end.
At the start, you can’t find a way to unlock the door unless you complete a series of questlines. Once you have located the Labyrinth door, speak to all the traders, especially Jaeger. Complete his questline for the Labyrinth, as well as the following quests from other traders.
- Shady Contractor
- Needle in a Haystack
- Hidden Layer
- Forced Alliance
- The Tarkov Butcher
This will give you the Labrys access keycard as the end reward, and you could also barter for the keycard from the traders. If playing in co-op, each player needs to have their own keycards to unlock the Labyrinth door.
