Dead Island Side Quests Walkthrough: Counsel of Despair

You get this quest from James, on the top of the lighthouse, after finishing the quest "Knockin on Heaven's Door".

James asks you to complete a HELP sign that they started working on before being chased off by zombies. The sign is arranged out of luggage. You need to finish it by adding the letter P to it.

Exit the lighthouse, Jump over the fence, and start heading down the hill. Kill the zombies in the area, and get to work!

The crates will be marked on the minimap by red hands. Grab each crate, then put it in the spot marked by a shadow to complete the word "HELP"

Zombies will keep attacking you while you are doing this. Try to kill the easy ones, but the harder ones like the thug zombie can just be outrun.

Once you have finished arranging the crates in the correct places, head back to the lighttower and speak to James to complete the quest and get your reward.
