A Voice from Above the Sky is a very hard difficulty side quest given to the Hero by Nikolai in Dead Island.
Synopsis[]
The Hero must contact Nikolai's comrades and arrange a rescue for him off the island.
Walkthrough[]
- After escorting Nikolai to Bunker 02 after the main quest Black Hawk Down, wait for a moment for him to reveal a side quest, then talk to him. If you leave right away, you risk not getting the quest.
- He'll explain that because the helicopter crashed, he can't get off the island. He wants you to first go get his satellite phone from his restaurant, Café Kiev, in Moresby before contacting his comrades to arrange a rescue. He gives you a ring to give to his friend Sergei in the restaurant so he knows you came from Nikolai.
- For now, you can't do anything after first receiving the quest from Nikolai. As such, go play through the game until you reach Moresby. This is where you can then continue the quest.
- Café Kiev is located nearly opposite the Police Station, in a blocked off road. In front of the road is a large group of Walkers, some of which are on fire. Kill the Walkers before heading through the broken barrier. The café is on the left.
- There's another group of Walkers in front of the café that you need to kill, so do so.
- After killing them, head into the café itself. It's void of any enemies, so you're safe in here. Sergei is in the back room, talk to him.
- He'll explain that his comrades upped and left, leaving him to die in the café. They took the satellite phone with them and they fled to a secret hideout in the jungle.
- The quest is now complete up to this point and you once again have to wait until you have access to the jungle to finally complete the quest.
- Once you reach the jungle, complete the first main quest Chasing Shadows as normal. Once you have the jeep open at the River Village, go and get into it.
- Drive halfway down the dirt road leading out of the village. The bunker is located down a hidden path just past the looter outpost you always drive past. If you struggle to find it, slow down and look to your LEFT. You'll probably be able to see the bunker peeking out from the trees.
- Get out of the car and head into the bunker. All the Russians are dead inside or missing with no survivors.
- Climb up the ladder to reach the parapet and firing ports of the bunker. There's a radio on a table that you can interact with. Do so to finish the quest.
- The Russians on the other side will respond that they are trying to get another helicopter in to extract them, but the naval blockade is thwarting all their attempts. The quest will then immediately end with no other continuation.
Notes[]
- A Butcher will sometimes spawn inside the bunker in the jungle.
- You can skip getting the satellite phone from Café Kiev if you know how to get to the bunker in the jungle, since you end up interacting with the radio in the bunker anyway.
- If returning to Bunker 02 in the Resort at any point after initially accepting the quest, Nikolai will have disappeared. The same goes for Sergei in Café Kiev in Moresby after talking to him.
- You also drive past the bunker hideout when bring the weapon boxes back to Matutero in Chasing Shadows. It'll be on your right just before the looter hideout when bringing the weapons back.
- The quest abruptly ends after accessing the bunker, meaning that there might have been more planned but was ultimately scrapped.
