Zryachiy

is a Cultist Boss in Escape from Tarkov.
==Biography==
One of Tarkov's most mysterious figures. Virtually nothing is known about his past, except that he has sniper training and is remotely rumored to have been in hot zones in the Middle East and Africa many times. 
Long before the conflict, he became Lightkeeper's loyal lapdog and took an active part in "establishing" connections between Lightkeeper and all those with whom he interacted. He is known to be friendly with the Rogue group, as well as with the hooded men who draw mysterious symbols on the locations.
Zryachiy is very taciturn, though those who work with him usually understand him without words. There are many rumors about his eyes, some say that it is an inborn peculiarity, some point to certain eye drops that allow him to enhance his vision in the dark, giving his eyes this whiteness side effect. Despite the appearance, it seems that he earned his name precisely for his excellent eyesight, which is not surprising for a former military sniper.
==Notes==

==Behavior==
Zryachiy and his guards will shoot you upon hitting one of them or walking on the bridge. They are extremely accurate and hard to spot, usually sitting on the rocks at the peninsula. Zryachiy himself will be somewhat centered near the rock closest to the Lighthouse itself. His followers are spread out, on opposite sides of the island. One sits somewhat near the rocks that are highest on the peninsula, next to the house with the small dome on it. The other one will sit near or on the rock plateau on the right. Zryachiy's guards will respawn up to 3 times in total together as long as Zryachiy is alive. Zryachiy and his guards will only target the most recent player that has damaged any of them.
==Strategy==
The easiest strategy to killing Zryachiy and his guards requires atleast 3 players.
This strategy involves having one player kill Zryachiy then the other 2 killing both the guards. If you do it the other way around the guards will both respawn up to 3 times each.
An alternative method if you are by yourself, is to slow lean around right corners using a high magnification scope, and trying to pick off the guards along with their respawns and then kill Zryachiy.
