“Nape knew all about the Quarantine Zone directive, that all bites by "the sick people" were to be reported. But he hadn't been bitten that hard, in fact it barely even broke the skin. And he didn't feel sick, so why should he report it? It was all a bunch of hysteria.”
— Dr. Kessler's Casebook
Geoffrey "Walking Carcass" Nape is a Boss Zombie featured in Dead Island: Riptide. When the military started quarantining everyone, all bites were to be reported. Geoffrey knew this but thought everyone was overreacting. He then was later bitten but failed to report it, as it barely broke the skin, so why should he get sick? He later succumbed to the infection and reanimated as a Wrestler in his warehouse.
Appearance[]
Geoffrey is a young to middle aged man with a clean shaven face. He wears a yellow football helmet and a pair of aqua green jeans that have almost completely dissolved with no shirt. He's covered in blood and red veins, and his right arm and leg are grotesquely swollen. He has a smaller mass on his right shoulder, and his stomach is ripped open, exposing his intestines.
Behavior[]
Geoffrey acts like a normal Wrestler for all intents and purposes. Upon spotting a survivor, he will slowly walk and drag his mutated arm towards the survivor before attempting to squash or knock over the survivor from the impact of his arm hitting the ground. He's easy to dodge or run away from, but he'll follow you and his arm gives him a good attacking range, albeit slow attacks.
Strategy and tips[]
- Every normal Wrestler strategy will work on him, as he's really just a very high health Wrestler.
- You can easily kite around him and keep him turning around, unable to attack you.
- He's quite flammable, so Molotovs, flare guns and fire modded weapons work well on him.
- Thanks to how slow he is, and how big he is, getting Sniper headshots is pretty easy for some good damage.
- Luring him into mines is a good way to take down his health, so long as you're far enough away from the blast.
- He's slow to other throwables like deo-bombs and grenades are easy to land and hit him with full force.
Trivia[]
- Geoffrey "Walking Carcass" Nape is the strongest enemy in Dead Island: Riptide health wise, followed by Wayne.
- He appears twice more in the game other than at his warehouse. He appears at the Henderson Military Base every subsequent time you visit it after the main quest Militarized Zone and the other time is in the quarantine zone during the final main quest With the Tide. With both of these sightings it's unknown how he gets there.
- He is one of 13 boss zombies you need to kill for the achievement/trophy "Hunter Seeker".
