Dead Island: Riptide Walkthrough Part 61 – For The Greater Good (With the Tide: Harlow)

Dead Island: Riptide Walkthrough Part 61 – For The Greater Good (With the Tide: Harlow)

First Phase
Harlow is a tenacious opponent. She has an Auto rifle and makes liberal use of it. This means that you want as much cover as you can. Only fire or attack her when she is close by to cut down on the damage you can take from her barrages of bullets. Also, the Law Rocket Launcher is pretty much useless in this fight short of getting a direct hit on Harlow herself. It is a good idea to close the distance and then use powerful melee weapons to knock her down or inflict status on her.

Second Phase
Things are a lot worse here. The good news is she will drop her rifle but start coming after you with a chain saw. This makes close range combat a lot harder to deal with without taking some serious damage in return. Use this time to build up Rage and let loose a Fury on her. Keep at mid range as other wise she will start throwing Molotovs at you. If you see one coming at you, start strafing over to the side.

Between the Second and Third Phase you need to take the Mutagen to ensure that you can beat Harlow. Head into the lab and grab it from the tabletop. Your character will automatically use it and go to the floor for a moment.

Third Phase
With the Mutagen in their system your character will enter that powerful Fury state again. Now just use your fury to deal with Harlow Jordan and everything else that appears. Harlow is not much of a challenge now. You now have a lot to deal with: Walkers, a Grenadier and a Wrestler. With the boost to power it will not take long for you to wipe the floor with all of them. When they are all dead then a cutscene runs with Harlow. At that point it is a simple matter of getting out.

Head to the middle of the room and go over to the East, through the now open side door. Follow the mini-map through the side rooms and toward the Outside. Head on up the stairs and turn to the left. There you will find a number of zombies eating. Kill them off and head to the end of the corridor. You will hear the thumps of a Wrestler coming from the left. Head to the nearby doorway and you will find him. Turn on him and take him out quickly. Head through the corridor he was in and over to the right. As you round the next corner a Walker is waiting for you so take him out quickly. Just keep going through this passage. Turn to the left and head on down the stairs. You will find yourself in a large fenced-in area. Go to the center of the fence, where the boxes are, and climb up them to jump over the fence.

On the other side of the fence you will want to go to the left. There you will find the console to lower the boat into the water. Interact with it and Serpo will show up in the area. He explains the final bits. Now you have one final chance to head on out and complete any remaining sidequest. By the stern of the boat you will find a Fast Travel Map with the Dock in the Quarantine Zone added. Complete anything that you have left then return to the Dock and get onto the boat. You will have a One-Way Ticket Prompt as this will end your present playthrough. From there enjoy the ending of the game.

Congratulations on beating Dead Island: Riptide!
