The Lover's Gift

The Lover's Gift is a side quest in Prey (2017).

Overview
Lawrence Baxter left a gift for his lover, Elle Gold, under rocks near a tree in the arboretum that had their carved initials.

Objectives

 * Find the tree with the lovers' initials.


 * Use the keycard to open storage closet.

Walkthrough
The first step on the lovers' date is the tree where they carved their initials. The easiest way to find the location is by using a security station to activate Elle Gold's tracking bracelet — that will lead you right to it.

To the right of Elle's corpse is a large rock. You'll need leverage 2 to pick it up. Underneath, you'll find the Storage Room A2 keycard. Alternatively, a recycler grenade clears the rock while leaving the keycard unscathed. If you have Kinetic Blast, the rock can be moved easily by blasting it away from the right side of the rock (opposite of Elle's corpse).

The storage room is right across from the security booth in the entrance to Crew Quarters. When you open the door, you'll find Lawrence inside, having been turned into a phantom as he waited.

After you dispatch him, search the closet for anything you can pick up. Notable items are a medkit, a psi hypo, a shotgun and shells, and two neuromods.
