Drop by Drop is a hard difficulty main quest given to the Hero by Antonio Margarete in Dead Island.

Synopsis[]

Close up the 5 fire hydrants located around Moresby that are leaking water.

Walkthrough[]

  • Talk to Antonio to start the quest.
  • He explains that while the equipment in the Pump Station is basically ok, there's very low water pressure. He identifies the cause of this being five open fire hydrants located around Moresby. He asks the hero to go and close them.
  • It's recommended to take the car sitting out the front of the Pump Station, as it will make the quest a lot easier.
  • Follow the waypoint to the first hydrant, which has a Thug and some Walkers milling around it, attracted by the noise.
  • For this quest, all the hydrants will have a mob of zombies surrounding them, including special infected. They will not respawn after the quest is complete, however.
  • Use the car to run them over and kill them. This is especially useful in the Definitive Edition, as cars are one hit KOs.
  • This is the most dangerous hydrant due to the constantly spawning burning Infected which will assault you. You WILL need to fight at least one wave of these guys while you turn off the hydrant.
  • After killing them all and turning off the hydrant, head to the next one which is conveniently just down the road.
  • The next one will have a Ram, so knock it over in the car for an easy KO. Kill the zombies surrounding it and turn off the hydrant.
  • Drive (or walk) down the road, following the quest marker, until you reach the next hydrant, near one of the poster locations for Howard (you can put up the poster if you've advanced far enough in that quest).
  • These zombies are poisoned, so if not in a car, you can use a fire element weapon for an easy kill on them. Watch out for the Infected which will drop down from the roof of a building at you.
  • Kill them all and turn off the hydrant. Proceed down the road to reach the penultimate hydrant in front of the Police Station.
  • There are some more poison zombies here, so kill them with a fire weapon or run them over in the car to kill them all and turn off the hydrants.
  • There's a merchant nearby, as well as a workbench so you can take a breather and repair your weapons as well as check what he's selling in his shop.
  • The final hydrant is just in front of the Church, so drive (or walk) all the way over there and reach the final hydrant.
  • Nothing special at this hydrant, just a Thug and his little friends. Watch out for the Infected that will sprint around the corner of the barricade. Kill all of them and turn off the hydrant.
  • Head into the Church to talk to Mother Helen and complete the quest.

Notes[]

  • None of the hydrants will be spouting water until this quest is accepted.
  • You can basically use the car in the Pump Station to drive to each hydrant. With careful driving, this quest can be done easily.
  • You must close the hydrants in the order indicated by the quest marker. They are not available in any other order. What this means is you cannot grab the hydrant to shut it off if it's not the next one in order (it's still present, along with its undead guards).
  • It's recommended to complete Bruno's new side quest Fortress of God while you still have the car, as the tools are located right back at the Pumping Station, so simply drive back to the Pump Station to get the tools and deliver them to Bruno.

Trivia[]

  • Even though you've closed all the hydrants, if you return to Antonio at any point while you remain on Banoi, he will still play his voice lines as if the hydrants are still open.
