Unofficial Dead Island Guide by vhayste for
Congratulations on stumbling onto our complete guide to Dead Island. vhayste has put together exclusively for SuperCheats.com a great piece of work which willh elp you through the standard game, get all the collectibles and provide you with a raft of knowledge for defeating all the enemies that come your way in the game. We recommend you get started with the General Tips page as it provides some useful bits of information which should come in handy throughout the whole game. All the collectibles can be found at the start of the guide (beforethe walkthrough) in their own sections. We have chosen to give each sidequest it's own seperate page so you can hopefully more easily find the exact piece of info you are looking for. Feedback on the guide is welcomed in the comments box below. Exploration Tracking Quests Fast Travel Exploit
General Hints and Tips
After the prologue, the resort can be pretty much explored to your heart's content. This walkthrough will only assist you in finding collectables and performing quests. I won't dictate what you need to do step by step as this won't make your game any more enjoyable.
Quests can be tracked. Aside from the obvious red flag marker on the map, you'll even get to see white dots lined up to show you the path in your mini-map. You don't have to worry since all characters share the same quests. Just refer to this walkthrough for additional help.
You can basically use the 'Load Last Checkpoint' trick to get by faster, especially if you're just doing continuous quests. Take note that YOU SHOULD NOT use this especially if part of a main/sidequest includes collecting something and delivering it back to the questgiver; otherwise, you'll lose the item you collected and you'll have to redo the whole process again. Watch the video below to learn how to do it. This will save you A LOT of time.
Fast Travel Exploit
Health Recovery
You can restore a bit of your health by drinking numerous scattered energy drinks and eating snacks. These recovery items re-spawn over time. You can't stock up healing items, only medkits. It is a good habit to keep a lookout for these since you won't know when you'll need a quick drink to save your butt.
Kicking
Don't just swing your weapon haphazardly; if it doesn't connect, you're open for the biting. A good way to deal with fast, aggressive (normal) zombies will be kicking them. This will stop them on their tracks, giving you more than enough time to decapitate them or crack their heads open. Kicking can also be used with dealing with hordes of zombies to keep your composure and give you some breathing space. By jumping and kicking, you can easily knock down infected and walkers with ease, leaving them open for you to stomp.
Materials and Workbenches
Workbenches are essential to keep your weapons in top shape. As such, make it a habit to scour every searchable containers, luggage, cabinet you come across with. Modified weapons sport some really impressive base stats and additional effects normal weapons don't have so make sure you're always carrying one. If you happen to find a merchant selling some uncommon materials, make sure to buy a good number of them so you won't have problems creating the mods that need them.
Collect Everything
Pick up almost everything that you come across with. Fortunately, only weapons, grenades, medkits and alcohol count towards your inventory limit. Miscellaneous items (materials and mods) don't count to your limit so there should be no reason for you for not picking them up.
Keep Your Weapons in Top Shape
You must remember that restoring a completely destroyed weapon is MUCH more expensive than maintaining it. As such, always keep your (main) weapons in top shape. It will be a hassle if you'll find yourself unable to afford the repair cost when you direly need it.
Look out for 'resupply points'
These are the places where you can find lots of recovery items such as drinks and food, as well vending machines (even better). There are several of these in the resort and in the city so remember their locations. In the jungle, you'll find these in front of stone idols as offerings. They may save you when you're in a pinch.
The undead are everywhere. And to make matters worse, they come in different types and sizes. Knowing the different enemies you’ll have to face in order to survive the zombie outbreak is essential to your survival. This section will introduce you to the various foes you’ll need to overcome - both living and undead, and also show some basic methods of fighting them.
Walkers
These are the common enemies you’ll find throughout the island. They’re usually in groups and have slow-moderate speed. They are dangerous in groups so try to avoid getting surrounded by them. They have the tendency to grab you and while you’re struggling, other undead will attack and damage you.
Be careful when dealing with burning walkers since you'll get hurt with their fire if they come too close. Also, don't bother shooting the bodies of armor-clad walkers as these won't stop them on their tracks.
Some of them are also known to use weapons which they brandish around. They are also known to throw these weapons with frightening accuracy. Best stop their tracks using well-placed kicks then plow them down with your weapons or finish them with stomps. Decapitating them and blowing their heads off also works wonders.
Infected and Walker Killing
Infected
They are fast, agile and extremely vicious. You will know if they’ve spotted you once you hear a bone-chilling shriek. They are easy to deal with alone. Just kick them to stop them on their tracks and stagger them, before cutting their head off or cracking their heads open. They are also known to climb rooftops, robbing you of your only safe solace.
Be careful however, when several infecteds are attacking at once. They can easily go in frenzy, clawing and swinging their arms multiple times, dealing continuous damage or instant death if you ever get cornered. When facing several infected, you’re only hope is either using your Fury skill or kicking and swinging your weapon like crazy. They should be priority targets especially if they attack alongside with a mob of walkers.
Thugs
These are larger version of walkers and they are almost, always solitary. They can deal solid damage which can knock you off your feet. When facing them, always take out the smaller fries first and stay out of its range. It is easier to take down alone.
One good strategy when dealing with these rotten muscular freaks is by using blunt or sharp weapons. Blunt weapons can break its arms while sharp weapons can cut them off, promptly lowering its threat level. A thug however, will attempt to headbutt you, which will still deal considerable damage. You can just perform a hit-and-run attack. Rush in, land a hit or two, then jump away before his arms hit you.
Thug Killing
Suicider
Do not ever, ever attack it using melee weapons or by kicking it. Its explosion is powerful enough to tear a group of walkers to shreds and even deal massive damage against hulking rams. Fortunately, these type of volatile undead are not that common. It’s better to take them out using guns or thrown weapons. In case you don’t have a ranged weapon or you’re somewhat feeling lazy in throwing your weapon, you can just promptly get near it to “light its fuse” then quickly move back to a safer distance. If ever you’re facing one in an enclosed space, hide behind a wall or something sturdy to protect you from the explosion. You can also use them to cause collateral damage to their fellow zombies and make your job easier.
Suicider Killing
Floater
This bloated, ranged undead is capable of shooting corrosive liquid at a considerable range. They are very weak against melee attacks and can be easily dealt with by charging towards them and slashing the hell out of them. Just be careful of their continuous stream of corrosive liquid. This is their only way of protecting themselves up close. Just move behind it and you shouldn't take that much damage. These enemies are common in the jungle area of the island, especially near bodies of water.
Floater Killing
Ram
These crazed tanks are known to charge towards any survivor. As long as you’re dealing with them alone, they’re probably as easy as walkers to take down. Lure a Ram then let it lock on to you. Once it started its charge, evade and rush towards it while it has its back exposed. This is its only weapon point so land 2-3 hits and jump away before it kicks you. Repeat the same process until its dead. With a strong weapon, you can take down a ram with only two repetitions. Rams are also known to follow you in stairs or even tight spaces. Don't let this happen or you'll be in trouble.
Ram Killing
Butcher
These are tougher and more dangerous versions of infected. They are fast and agile, and they can perform leaping attacks that can catch you off guard or a series of damaging blows that can easily rip you to shreds. You can stop its charge by kicking it then slashing while its staggers. Just remember to use backsteps often; this is probably hard in tight, confined spaces. If you see some infected tagging along with a butcher, pray hard or use your fury skill.
Butcher Killing 1
Butcher Killing 2
Punks, Gang Leaders and Looters
These are human opportunists which will promptly attack anyone and anything on sight. They are commonly encountered in the slums of Moresby, inside barricaded positions. They are usually armed with guns but you’ll also encounter some wielding wooden planks and other weapons. These human enemies spawn regularly in their designated barricaded locations, making them cheap sources of guns and ammo.
Dealing with the firearm wielding ones are easy, as long as you have guns as well. However, melee-wielding punks are dangerous. Kicks don't stop easily so you need to swing your weapon and hopefully your swipe kills them before they hit you.
In order to survive the undead-laden island of Banoi, you’ll need weapons. You’ll start with basic and even mundane types such as boat paddles, pipes, wooden planks, broomsticks etc. As you level up, your enemies will also level up to match you and you’ll immediately discover that these weapons won’t be enough to stop them. You’ll need even more effective weapons to fend off any undead trying to have a taste of you.
You also need to be aware of the weapon types your character is more efficient with. You’ll know the weapon types characters prefer by checking their skill trees. By using your character’s preferred weapon class, you can enjoy enhanced damage and beneficial effects by allocating skill points to the related skills.
Purna - Firearms, Sharp Weapons
Xian Mei - Sharp weapons
Sam B - Blunt weapons
Logan - Thrown weapons, firearms
Weapons have color coding, indicating their quality. Higher quality weapons have higher stats and must be really sought after. Weapons can be bought from vendors, acquired as quest rewards, dropped by enemies or found as loot.
White - Common
Green - Uncommon
Blue - Rare
Violet - Unique
Orange - Exceptional
Each weapon have their parameters. Take note that these stats are based on the weapon’s level. It is actually recommended to get at least a new weapon every 5-7 levels or so to keep up with the increasing health of enemies.
Damage
Indicates the damage done directly to the target’s health
Force
Indicates damage dealt to the target’s stamina
Handling
Indicates the difficulty of handling the weapon. Basically low handling stat will make you lose stamina more for every swing.
Durability
This stat shows the number of attacks this weapon can make before breaking down. And just so know, a completely trashed out weapon will just be as good as a wooden broomstick. It is recommended to maintain them since restoring them will take out massive amount of cash.
Accuracy
This stat is only used by firearms. It determines the default value of hitting anybody with bullets.
Reload Time
Determines how speed you can reload the weapon.
Repairing
Continuous use of a weapon will gradually wear it down. Without maintaining it, it will lose its effectiveness and won’t serve you any purpose other than being a dead weight. There are numerous workbenches scattered in the game and it is encouraged to use and abuse them. Keep in mind that repairing a weapon when its even at 80% is going to be a lot cheaper in the long run than restoring it from 0% in one go.
Upgrading
With the help of a workbench and some cash, you can further increase the parameters of your weapon up to three more times. You may want to upgrade higher quality weapons instead of the white common ones.
Creating
If you have the blueprint, materials and cash, it is possible for you create your own ammo and explosives. Your trusty sharp machete or devastating bludgeon may tear a small group of zombies apart but you can do much if you’re ultimately facing a horde. That’s where explosives come in. You can simply stand in the safety of an elevated fence or vehicle then lob a molotov in the amassing horde around you and watch them burn. It is recommended to carry at least one type of explosive with you all the time.
Modifying
This method allows you to further increase the effectiveness and lethality of your weapons. You can add extra effects like chance to set your targets on fire, electrocute them, force them to gag their insides out, paralyze them for a few seconds and many more. You can also apply these modifications to firearms as long as you have the necessary blueprints. Take note that these effects will only take effect if you manage to land a critical hit. Character skills can increase these chances, which is another reason why should stick to the weapons your character is most proficient in using.
First, you need to find Blueprints. These are crafting plans which contain instructions and requirements on how to complete the mod. They are mostly given as quest rewards but there are also a good number of them that you need to find, especially when exploring various areas.
Once you have the blueprints, you need to have the materials. Various materials can be found by looting bags, containers, crates and corpses. You can also buy them from vendors. You have to remember that vendors change their inventory every now and then so if you see them selling particular materials that you can’t easily find anywhere (e.g. algae, suicider meat, floater meat, detergent), buy as many as you can to. Don’t afraid to hoard materials; they don’t count to your inventory limit and you’ll never know when you’ll need them.
Next, you’ll need a base weapon, as described in the blueprint you want to make. Fortunately, each blueprint has an array of base weapons you can use. Finally, you need some cash and of course, a workbench to work on.
As a summary, you need:
1. Workbench
2. Blueprint
3. Material
4. Base weapon
5. Cash

Skulls are another set of collectibles in the game which will allow you to craft Developer mods. These are very powerful weapons which requires some basic materials, a lot of money and diamonds. Diamonds can be acquired by doing the continuous/ repeatable quest with Svetlana in the “Time for Booze” quest. You need to give her champagne, which can be farmed from the Supermarket or the Hotel’s kitchen area. The actual farming process will definitely take a while but it is worth it since you’ll also get XP and cash along the way.
After finding a skull, you need to find its “drop-off” location where you can place and activate it to receive the blueprint. This section will show you where to get the skulls and where to place them.
The stats seem to be randomized or refreshed whenever you preview and cancel a developer mod. Use this trick to get a weapon with higher stats.
Brown Skull
This can be acquired early in the game during the main quest “Black Hawk Down”. After escorting Nikolai to the bunker, look for a small manhole to the right of the workbench. If you forgot to get this earlier, you can just fast travel to Resort Bunker #2.
Enter the manhole and you'll reach the other bunker in the northern beach. Kill the suicider in the room and the skull should be among the pile of corpses on the floor.
Brown Skull Location
Now return to the previous bunker and fast travel to the lifeguard tower. Mark and head to this location:
Watch the video below to learn how to reach the altar where you need to put the brown skull and get your reward.

You need to backtrack to the Supermarket to get to the drop off location. You can do that by following these series of videos.
Slums to City Hall
Backtrack to Supermarket
Look for the part in the supermarket with liquors. Behind it is an aisle clay pots and next to it is an aisle of teddy bears.
Green Skull Drop
Blue Skull
To find the purple skull, you need to start the Uninvited Guest quest. Put a marker on this location and head there. This location is nearest to the warehouse so you can start from there instead.

After reaching the supermarket cellar, fight your way inside until you reach the first staircase. Check the pushcart behind it to find the skull.

In case you missed this during your main quest to the supermarket, you can still return – however, it will be a dangerous and troublesome trek. You need to return to take the sewers to the City Hall, then take the sewers again leading to the Supermarket.
Watch the video below to learn how to backtrack to the city hall:
Slums to City Hall
Backtrack to Supermarket
After entering the sewers again leading to the supermarket, climb the only ladder in the area to find that the previously blocked door is already open. Just go inside the find the shrine where you can place the orange skull.

City Hall to Supermarket
Skull Purple
(Quest: Bitter Return)
On your way out through the sewers, you'll finally encounter a room with a floater and some toxic drums. Climb the only ladder there to find a small shrine on the upper level. You'll have a second chance during the main quest “Lady in Trouble”.

You may encounter a survivor in the middle of the bloody pool. Ignore or talk to him, then enter the bungalow nearby.
You can find a collectable (Tape #01 Starting the Investigation) on the small table near the books. Break the door open then continue to the bedroom.

Continue forth until you reach the bar. There's a lot of alcohol on the shelf so go crazy and loot them all. Continue following the corridors until you meet Mike Davies. He'll then ask you to find his partner named Ken.
Hop on the elevator then enter the hatch. Exit it and move along to the kitchen. Clear the first kitchen then you'll have to continue to the objective marker. You have two ways here; bypass the mob of zombies in the next kitchen or kill them all for a large amount of experience and loot. Move along and grab another collectable along the way.
Continue along the straightforward path until you reach the steam-filled corridor. There are a couple of infected that will ambush you so be prepared. Continue forth until you reach the room with a workbench. Repair your weapons or modify them.

Go past the swimming pool then to the shower area. Kill the zombies along the way and don't forget to pickup the ID card on the shelf, in front of the large doors.
Fight your way to the second floor and to the objective point. Bash the door open and find Ken inside the supply room. He'll ask you to fetch the morphine in the medical room. Head there and clear the rooms. Aside from the morphine, there's another Banoi Herald Excerpt in the nearby table so don't forget to grab it as well.
Return to Ken and give him the morphine. This time, you'll be asked to head to the security room. Exit to the same door again and carefully clear the corridor. In the small office room, there's another Banoi Herald waiting to be picked up. Grab it on the table.
Continue forth until you reach the small cafe. There's a recording on one of the tables there.

Kill the zombies along the way until you reach the bunker. Once there, head inside and talk to him to update the quest. You need to report to Simonai next. You can also talk to Nikolai again to open up a new sidequest. You can also check out the manhole nearby since it takes you to the other bunker in the northern beach.

Pick up the Toxic Mod blueprint on the desk then open the control panel near the door. Turn off the church bell by operating the button inside. Return to Mother Helen to complete the quest.
NOTE: You can talk to Jin inside the church and deposit some items you can't carry. This will free up your inventory and will allow you to carry the stuff you really need or you want to sell later on. Take note that Jin's storage is known to be glitchy; sometimes, withdrawing maxed number of items (alcohol or medkits for example) will sometimes make them disappear for no apparent reason.
TIP: You can use the rooftops to safely explore the slums. Look for ladders that will take you there. The streets are littered with the dead and the rooftops are your only way of moving around the city fast and safe. Take note however that the fast moving infected can reach the rooftops if there is a lower elevated area that they can jump on. Furthermore, due to the layout of the city, some ladders don't will just lead to deadends and precarious jumps.

You'll have to the deal with a new enemy called the Floater. This is a ranged infected that can deal considerable damage for every attack.

After defeating it, continue following the path and kill the enemies until you reach the second floodgate. You should find a door leading to workbench. Another mod is waiting inside.
The path is pretty much straightforward from here on so continue following the path until you reach a room with two doors. One of the doors has a workbench in it and another ID card.
Continue again until you reach another similar room with a workbench. Use it if you want; enter the other room to find another floater. Throw the LPG tank and shoot it to get rid of all of them at the same time.

You'll be back in the sewers again. Just fight your way back to the City Hall. On your arrival, you'll immediately realize everything’s gone FUBAR. Continue upstairs and grab the ID card beside the metal cabinets.
The other paths are practically blocked for now so go outside and follow the hallway. There is a ram and suicider below so you can just lob an explosive or molotov there to kill them safely.
Follow the straightforward path until you reach a door that needs to be broken open. Kill the two infected inside, then break open another door again. Kill more enemies inside then open the next door to reach the terrace. Kill the walker there then hold the machine gun turret. You can kill the zombies below for some extra exp.
City Hall
Continue breaking down doors and killing enemies until you reach the infected mayor. Kill him to get the universal key and complete the other sidequest “Big Daddy, Where are You?”. Before leaving the room, grab the diamonds from the safe and the Magic Wand Mod blueprint on the mayor's table.
The key will allow you to open the previously locked doors. First, backtrack in the other room past the veranda. You should be able to open the door there leading to a small office. Grab the ID on the table.

Enter the sewers and follow the trail. If you didn't get the Purple Skull earlier, this trail will lead you back to toxic room with a floater and some toxic walkers. Just climb the ladder there and it will lead you to a small shrine. Continue following the trail until you reach the door leading to the police station.
Purple Skull
Once you've reached the police station, continue forth and look for a dead cop near the door. You should find a recording beside him.

Welcome to the Jungle
Find Mowen in the River Village
Very Hard
You should be able to start pursuing your pending quests with objectives located in the jungle but I suggest finding the village first so you'll have a supply point. Enter the vehicle and just follow the trail to the next quest marker. You'll have to stop and eliminate all the undead in the falls before you can move forward. Don't forget to grab the Banoi Excerpt inside the bus.
After clearing the path, you'll have to escort Jin on foot. Just stick close and take out any infected that comes your way. You may also run past them as Jin will continue running as long as you stick close to her. Continue following her until you reach the village.

Follow the trail as it leads you to another small village in the mountains. Clear the enemies and head to the marker. Here, you'll encounter a new type of enemy – the Butcher. Treat it as an upgraded version of an infected which makes it a rather extremely dangerous enemy. When up close, just swing your weapon wildly and hopefully your modded weapons' effects connect.
Butcher Killing
Continue following the path until you reach the road. With your quest updated when you crossed the hanging bridge, follow the marker leading to the weapon box to the northeast. Clear all enemies, and be careful of the occasional infected that will come your way. Follow the road east and you should find a pick up truck.
From here, you can track the sidequest “A Voice From Above the Sky” (provided that you updated the quest by talking to Nikolai's man in his restaurant in the city).

Accept the quest then head back to the boat and travel to the laboratory. Once there, grab a vehicle nearby and drive to the lab. Disembark and continue inside. Kill the zombies by the door and grab the Banoi Herald Excerpt on the table. Continue inside.
Continue inside and loot all you want until you reach Dr. West. Talk to him to complete the quest.
House of Science
Help the scientists in the lab. Complete the following quests then talk to Dr. West. See the Sidequests section of this guide for more details.
Rats in the Laboratory
Power Slaves
Man of Faith
Find the natives camping near the lab
Hard
7500 XP, Reaper
Track this quest and fast travel back to the boat. From there, take the backroad to the west. Follow the path until you find the entrance to the village. Once there, the quest will be updated. You'll have to find an alternative path to the cave. Just take the uphill path to your left (south if you base it on the map) and just follow it.
You'll find the village but first you must enter the arena and survive. Hop in and start killing. I suggest use this chance to store rage as you'll need it on the second round. After disposing the first batch, you'll have to face two more infected and another, tougher infected warrior. Kill them by any means possible and obtain the blood sample from the infected warrior afterward.
Arena of Spirits
Follow the trail and take the ladder out of the arena. You can also start a sidequest by talking to a warrior along the way. Fast travel back to the lab and hand over the blood sample to Dr. West. The ID inside the room where Frank was previously trapped should now be open. Take a quick detour and grab it. Hand over the blood sample to complete the quest.
Demonic Science
Help scientists in the lab
Very Hard
Cash
Help the scientists in the lab. Complete the following quests then talk to Dr. West. See the Sidequests section of this guide for more details. After completing this quest, more quests will become available.
Substance of Matter
Rotting Flesh
Pure Blood
Use Ope's help to find a stable strain if the virus
Very Hard
8500 XP
Complete all the available sidequests first if you want before heading to Ope's Cave and do this main quest. Once ready, fast travel there and talk to Ope. Escort him back to Mowen's Boat. Once he reaches the boat, make all the necessary preparations and travel with him to the catacombs.
Once you've landed on another uncharted territory, stick close to Ope and protect him from any undead. You'll eventually reach a village where there are tons of these. The stupid shaman will draw attention by moving in the middle of the village. Just be prepared to fend off the attacks.
Follow him as he leads you deeper into the woods. He'll stop and warn you about incoming enemies. Brace yourself for an infected ambush.
Once they're taken care of, continue along the path and get rid of more walkers and a thug. Pick up some fruits along the way as needed, then continue to the hanging bridges. A butcher and a couple of infected will ambush you so get ready.
Continue following him until you reach a drawbridge. You need to operate the lever on the other side so jump to the other side and operate the lever. Continue following Ope until a cutscene plays.
After the scene, you'll have to protect Yerema this time. Stick close and escort her as she leads you out of this place. You don't need to fight all of them; just follow Yerema and kill everything that attempts to slow her down – especially the infected. Continue running and heal as necessary. Once you're near the boat, a scene will trigger. You can rush to Mowen's aid immediately then deal with the remaining zombies along the way.
Ancestral Recall
Continue escorting Yerema until she reaches the boat. Finally, travel back to the Laboratory once done. You'll have to escort her again on foot until she reaches Dr. West. There will be a lot of zombies along the way so make sure you get rid of them quick. You'll finally reach the vicinity of the lab but then again, you must kill every threat before Yerema can move.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There's a known glitch at this part where Yerema will refuse to follow you even if you killed all the zombies in the area. According to what I've found in the forums, this happens if you quickly killed the zombies above the stairs in the catwalk to the right before the game tags them as important targets. To prevent this from happening, let the “key” zombies rise up and turn to red skulls (target objectives) before killing them. Take note that they will stand up one by one once you get near them. Upon killing the third zombie, Yerema should move from her position and start running ahead of you. If reloading your checkpoint doesn't bring them back, quit the game and reload your game save.
There are several infected here and a few walkers as well but you can exploit them by closing the gate and attacking them from behind it, preferably with a firearm so you can aim and land easy headshots. After clearing the area, Yerema should run by herself to the lab and talk to Dr. West to complete the quest.
Hard Talk
Speak to Mowen
Simply fast travel back to the boat and speak to Mowen to complete the quest.
Boat Supplies
Go with Mowen to the city
Get fuel to the boat
Bring Mowen's package from his secret stash
Hard
9000 XP
Talk to Mowen then head out to the city when you're ready. Talk to him to update the quest. You'll have to find his package first as marked in the map. The fastest way there is to select a continuous quest, reload the checkpoint to teleport there then fast travel to the abandoned house/square. The quest marker should be a short sprint away. Also, there's a sidequest available at the gunshop. Refer to the sidequest “A Tough Nut To Crack” for the complete walkthrough and location.
Head to the marker and clear the area. Climb the ladder beside the container van and head to the red container van on the other side. Open it to find some items inside, including the package Mowen asked you to find.
Next, you need to take two gas canisters from the gas station. Fortunately, there's a pick up truck there that you can ride. Grab the gas canisters and load them in the back of the truck.
Finally, drive the fuel back to Mowen's boat. Just follow the trail; however, you'll need to carry the canisters on foot so park the truck as near as you can then clear all nearby zombies so you can carry the canisters without danger. Talk to Mowen to complete the quest.
Back in Black
Take four rods from the workshop of Jin's father.
Medium
Make your way to Jin's workshop and kill all enemies that will come your way. The rods are just piled up at the back of the workshop. Pick them up then return to the boat. Put the rods in the boat then talk to Jin. Watch the cutscene. The voice will then force you to check out the lab.
No Time to Talk
Head to the lab as fast as you can.
Just fast travel to the lab and head to the objective marker. Kill all zombies inside then head to Dr. West's lab. Release Yerema. You'll now need to take the antidote and head to the prison.
Warning: Once you leave to the prison, you won't be able to return to the island. This is the turning point in the game so I suggest do whatever you need to do at this point before heading there. See the checklist below to know what you can find at this point of the game. Just refer to this guide's individual sections for the individual locations of the listed collectables.
Collectibles Checklist:
Banoi Excerpts 1-37, 40
Skull Locations and Drop Offs
Personal Ids 1-85
Recordings 1-9
Mods and Blueprints
When you're ready, grab the antidote inside the small fridge and operate the nearby radio. Watch the following scene. Quest complete.
Titus Andronikus
Once you've reached the prison, you'll need to head off to the next objective point. Before moving forward, make sure to grab the recording on the bench.
Follow Mowen and let him do the talking. After the gate opens, continue inside and head to the canteen. Watch the next scene to complete the quest.
The Green Mile
Locate Titu's friend in cell block A (A-3-14) and free him.
Hard
10000 XP, Metal Kanabo
Talk to Titus to start this quest. After accepting his quest, I suggest starting the two new sidequests available at the moment. Head to the prison block (preferably with the quest “Acid Funk” active). Once there, I suggest completing the fairly simple objectives of Acid Funk sidequest (refer to the sidequest section for details) then head to the 3rd floor where you can find the cell you're looking for. Kill all undead outside the cell door.
The bastard will tell you to open his cell door, so happily oblige and head to the control room. Open his cell then the alarm will start roaring off. You have to turn it off quickly before all hell breaks loose. Head to the first floor and fend off any infected rushing towards you. The alarm controls is in the same floor but on the other side. Run there and quickly deactivate it.
Once done, you'll need to escort him back to Titus. Approach him and take out the target zombies marked as red skulls. You'll need to take out the ram as well. Continue escorting him to safety. The quest is completed as soon as he reaches Titus. Talk to Alvero as well to receive your reward.
Full Metal Jacket
Get weapons and ammo from the armory
Hard
10000 XP, Sledgehammer
Follow the trail and continue upstairs. After reaching the second floor, open the doors to the right to find the infirmary. The 088 ID should be there.
088 ID
Continue sweeping the rooms and follow the path. There will be human guards who you need to deal with as well. After getting through the guards' barricade, break open the next door. Talk to Kevin and find a way to open the armory doors. You'll need to hunt the senior guard and get the masker key. Backtrack a bit and follow the trail. Before entering the first room, look on the floor to find a Banoi Herald Excerpt.
Clear the two rooms and you'll find the master key. Before handing the master key to Kevin, I suggest lining up the propane tanks near the double door in the far end of the corridor. Several infected and a thug will appear there in a short while.
After handing over the key, prepare for the surprise attack of the infected. If timed right, you should be able to take out all enemies with one bullet. Otherwise, kill them all before Kevin can open the armory. Check out the door to the right of the fire axe and pick up the ID card.
Once inside, grab the Striker Rifle Mod on the table then go inside and take the ammo box. Deliver it to Titus. Be careful since the corpses a while ago will stand up and attack you.
Dante's Kitchen
Get food from the kitchen. Kill all undead in the kitchen and storage room.
Medium
10000 XP, Heavy Pistol
Follow the trail to Dante's Kitchen and kill all enemies inside. There's an ID beside a dead guard so don't forget to pick it up as well. Continue to the second area.
There are 3-4 infected here and a thug. Clear them out and pick up the ID card before returning to Titus.
Devil's Labyrinth
Find your way to the armory in Cell Block B
Very Hard
Head to the basement and follow the path. There should be an ID sitting on top of a cabinet beside a machine control panel along the way. Continue following the path. Be careful of the room with many undead. You should find two propane tanks along before reaching it.
After clearing the large room with multiple undead, there should be a workbench nearby. You can find the ID on the floor in front of it.
Follow the path until you reach a metal catwalk. Kill the two infected below but inside of entering the double doors, I suggest breaking open the door in the catwalk. You should be able to easily deal with the policemen using this route.
Continue to the next door to reach another large area with several undead. Use the propane tanks along the catwalks to get rid of them easily. After killing them all, go downstairs and continue following the path.
Before climbing the next stairs up (with the red alarm lights on), grab the ID on the floor near the door just under it.
Continue upstairs until you reach the control room. Use the workbench as necessary, then exit. The cellblock has several undead running rampant so find your way around them to reach the control room's other door. You have to go down to ground level, climb the second and third floors before going down again to the second floor to reach the control room.
Upon reaching it, you'll be given new objectives by the “Voice”. Follow the new trail and proceed to a blacked out stairwell. In the bottom you'll find an ID, beside a guard's corpse.
Continue moving along until you reach the sewer area. Follow the path and kill the floater along the way. Search the floor near it as there's another ID card waiting to be discovered.
ID 098
In the last part of the sewer area, before taking the ladder up, check the other dead end to find another dead guard. The ID should be beside him.
Climb the ladder up and immediately look behind you to find another ID on the floor.
Move along past the second shower room then exit to through the double doors. Follow the trail along the corridor until you find Yerema and Jin. Follow them to the elevator then get in. Watch the following scene. Quest completed.
Chasing the White Rabbit
Find your way to the hospital roof.
This is the last quest so I suggest carrying all the best weapons you have and upgrade them to the max. When ready, follow the path until you reach a staircase with some ammo and supplies. Climb the stairs up to find an ID in the blocked path.
Open the door and get ready to fight off several undead, including a ram. You can lob molotovs at them and quickly fall back and lock the door to let them die easily. Continue clearing the wards as you make your way to another set of stairs. Heal and rearm as needed.
Head to the next corridor and enter the first ward to the left. You should find a recording on one of the beds there. Check out the nearby desk as well for yet another ID card.
Exit the ward and you should find a sitting corpse in the middle of the fork. The last recording can be found beside him.
Note: In my gamesave, I can't pick up the damn thing so I thought it was probably glitched. After quitting the game and reloading it and even restarting the console, I am still unable to pick it up so be warned.
Kill all enemies then get the last excerpt by following the very short video below.
Excerpt 38
Once done, clear the next ward and pick up the last ID card in the game.
Note: Seems like another glitch but the first time I approached it, the ID card appeared briefly then disappeared completely. Reloading the game from the last checkpoint solved the issue.
This should be all the collectables you can get so you may focus in hacking and slashing your way to your objective. Continue upstairs to reach the rooftop.
On the Edge
Don't let White escape the island
25000 XP
For the first part, kill all his guards. Next, a wave of infected will attack. Fend them off and check if the steel fence has already broken down. Once it is, rush there and kill the thug blocking the path. Watch the cutscene.
Don't let White escape the island part 1
You'll have to finally defeat the infected White. This guy is very fast and your only hope is to prevent his charge. Use a fully upgraded and modded pistol or rifle and pray that it crits and triggers elemental effects. Some infected will join the fray so expect to die several times. You can fight White on the helipad and halt his charge between the concrete barriers.
Don't let White escape the island part 2
Sidequests in Dead Island play a major part in the game, and there are tons of them! We thought it would be easier therefore to dedicate a seperate short page to each one to allow you to go straight to the sidequest you are looking for instead of scrolling through one huge page of data.
The following pages of this guide detail all of the sidequests and what you have to do to complete them, they appear in the order the are encountered in the game (in our playthrough) as opposed to being sorted alphabetically.

Go to the lighthouse and bring back a signal amplifier.

Turn on the power unit in the corner of the room then remove the barricade. Get an empty canister then place it beside the pump. You need to press and hold the button to refill the canister. Take note that several infected will arrive by intervals so be prepared. In case you need HP, there are vending machines inside the gas station that have $5 Energy Drinks. Once filled, take the canister and put it on the back of the truck. Now get back to the truck and drive your way back to the Lifeguard Tower. Take the canister then place it in front of him. Talk to him to complete the mission.

You need to grab the crates scattered around and place them on the designated spots. Be careful since there will be a constant stream of infected rushing in regular intervals.

Provide Deanna with Insulin.

Head to the marker set on the map. You need to be careful since there will be suiciders among the basic walker and infected groups, as well as pistol wielding punks who will shoot you on sight.

The first spot where you can place the poster is near the warehouse.
The next spot is near the abandoned house hideout (Square) If you've unlocked it before, you can just fast travel there.
The next spot is just a short walk away from the second one. It will be automatically marked in your map. It is advisable to clear all enemies in the area first before placing the poster.
Head to the next spot and clear the path.
The final billboard is farther away to the northwest. It will be marked in the map so you may stick to the alleys to avoid encountering too many undead in the main roads. Once you've posted the last poster, return to Howard to complete the quest.
Bring 5 bottles of alcohol for Theresa.
Medium
1500 XP, Cash
Theresa
If you have alcohol on stock, you can just have them over to Theresa to complete the quest. Otherwise, you can fast travel to Resort Bunker # 2 then head to the nearby bar.

Each of the four main characters in the game have their own skill sets which complements their fighting style and abilities. Though it is a fact that they can use all weapons, they will become more efficient zombie-killing machines by making them use their preferred weapon class.
As you earn experience and level up, you'll gain skill points that you can allocate to the any of your character's three skill trees: Fury, Combat and Survival. Fury contains enhancements to the character's signature moves. Once enough Rage is accumulated, a character can unleash special Fury moves to turn the tide of battle which makes it invaluable during tight situations. Combat is where you'll find weapon and combat-related enhancements. You can specialize in certain weapon types and even increase their effectiveness, durability, stamina costs, etc. Survival skill contains upgrades that will help make your life a bit easier as you get by on the island. This tree has very helpful upgrades such as increased backpack slots, damage mitigation, experience boosts, increasing the amount of money found, lowering maintenance costs, stamina boosts and enhanced durability for weapons to name a few. Take note that some of these upgrades has three ranks, enabling you to further increase the bonuses received from these enhancements.
You can only earn one skill point per level. Since the max level a character can attain is 50, you can only get 49 skill points (you start with 0 SP at LV1). This feature in the game will allow you to mold your character as you see fit. I strongly recommend getting the best upgrades in each tree or skills that complement the build you’re trying to achieve.
This section will tackle the skill trees of each character and may help you decide what skills to get for your character.

This section will discuss some of the trophies in the game and how to get them. Self-explanatory trophies won't be tackled anymore.
The Whole World Went Away (Platinum)
Collect all other trophies.
One is all I need (Bronze):
Kill 5 Infected in a row with a single blow.
You need to successfully kill 5 infected in a row, with one shot each. Best done by joining the game of a lower level friend with your main, higher level character. Lower level zombies have lower health and thus, higher chances of getting one-shot. Decapitating, using one-shot weapons (developer weapon: Mindblowing Knife) or carefully-aimed shotgun shots are also helpful in getting one-shot infected kills.
Can’t touch this (Bronze):
Use a hammer to kill a series of 15 zombies without taking damage.
Again, best done by joining the game of a lower level friend with your main, higher level character. Lower level zombies have lower health and you should be able to kill them fairly easy. If you're going solo, try doing this early in the game as higher level zombies are more aggressive and harder to take down using only the hammer. Just target solo zombies. Knock them down and finish them with your hammer. If you're facing multiple ones, just run. As long as you don't take damage, you can ninja your way and assassinate lone targets without much problems.
Humanitarian (Bronze):
Kill 50 human enemies.
Moresby has some barricaded positions where punks regularly spawn. Just hunt them down again and again to unlock this.
Light my fire (Bronze):
Set 10 zombies on fire simultaneously.
The molotov will do the trick here. Best done in Moresby, get the attention of several zombies and step on top of trucks or ambulances. Let them gather and carefully throw a molotov near them.
10 heads are better than 1 (Bronze):
Kill 10 zombies in a row with headshots.
You must kill 10 zombies (strictly zombies only) in a row using headshots. Take note that the finishing blow must be headshots for this to count. It is recommended to use fully upgraded but unmodded guns to prevent accidental triggering of elemental damages. Just get the attention of several walkers and hop on top of elevated positions such as trucks, fences, vans, ambulances etc.
A taste of everything (Bronze):
Kill a zombie with 10 different melee weapons.
Just kill a zombie using any type of weapons you find and you'll unlock this.
To put it bluntly (Bronze):
Kill 250 zombies using blunt melee weapons.
These are heavy, unsharp weapons which can break enemy bones and require a good amount of stamina per swing. Sam B's the best character to do this since he's a blunt weapon specialist. Other characters can do this but preferably in the lower levels and with fully upgraded, modified blunt weapons. Kills made by thrown blunt weapons counts as well.
Hack & slash (Bronze):
Kill 250 zombies using edged melee weapons.
Easily acquired by Purna and Xian Mei, decapitate any enemy you find to get it counted. Kills made by thrown sharp weapons are counted as well.
Guns don’t kill but they help (Bronze):
Kill 250 zombies using firearms.
Purna's Rage skill do count towards this trophy but the easiest and most practical way of getting this trophy is by using the mounted machine gun in the terrace of the city hall (preferably after it was overrun by the undead). Kill all zombies in sight, reload the checkpoint then repeat.
Tae Kwon Leap (Bronze):
Kill 25 zombies with your bare fists.
Just target lone, unaware zombies then knock them down with a kick. Crouch down and deliver devastating blows to their faces to kill them.
I want one of those (Silver):
Customize 25 weapons.
Only modded (not upgraded) weapons will count. Thrown weapons such as Deo-bombs, Molotovs (created from workbench) and Meat Baits also count towards this.
Karma-geddon (Bronze):
Kill 50 zombies using a vehicle.
Recommended to be done as early as possible since higher level zombies have higher HP which will make them harder to kill in one go.
Catch! (Bronze):
Kill an Infected with a grenade blast.
The infected are those fast, noisy zombies that tend to rush you. Just knock them down with a jump-kick then lob a grenade near it to kill it.
Road Trip (Bronze):
Drive a total distance of 10 kilometers.
Just drive around using the van from the lighthouse or from the lifeguard tower (after repairing it). Trophy progress will update as you drive. Use this chance to run over zombies for the Karma-geddon trophy. Best done during lower levels since zombies are pretty much easy kills. Higher level zombies have more HP, making them harder to kill in one go.
Cardio (Bronze):
Travel a distance of 20 kilometers on foot.
Just walk around and explore as much as you want and you'll unlock this automatically.
Rootin’ Tootin’ Lootin’ (Gold):
Loot 5 Exceptional Weapons.
Exceptional weapons have orange colors in their names. These are randomly found as zombie loots or from chests. The only way to increase your chances of finding them more frequently is by purchasing Logan's Scavenger or Purna's Jackpot skills. Xian Mei and Sam B doesn't have equivalent skills that has the same benefit. In my playthrough, I was able to unlock this automatically without purchasing the mentioned skills.
Tis but a flesh wound! (Bronze):
Sever 100 limbs.
Use sharp weapons to sever enemy limbs easily.
There and back again (Silver):
Explore the entire island.
There are 72 points in the island, and even the interiors of buildings count towards these points. If you've been doing all the sidequests, you should be able to unlock this trophy as soon as you finish the prison area. This is also a known bugged trophy, as most people report that it stops at 71/72. A patch is promised by the developer but I haven't installed it yet so I can't vouch for its fix.
Ah! Spoiled meat! (Bronze):
Kill a Butcher using an axe.
You can use other weapons to whittle its HP down but the finishing blow should come from an axe.
On, no you didn’t (Bronze):
Kill a Ram using tackle skill.
The tackle skill is available to Sam B. Lure a Ram and dodge its charge attack. Use any conventional weapon to lower its HP then finish it off using your tackles. Take note that you must hit its wound on its back to deal damage.
