“If we're supposed to help someone, let's just do it.”
— Jin
Jin is a survivor featured in Dead Island. She is first seen inside the Old Marina Workshop, along with her father, Earl.
Jin is involved in multiple quests, and has a 150 slot storage, in which the player can store their items, something brought back with Henry Boyle in Dead Island: Riptide.
Background[]
She is first seen during the side quest Misery Wagon, after the Hero brings the armored truck to Earl. After the completion of the main quest Only the Strong Survive, Earl explains that the Hero can have the armored truck, but only if they take Jin with them, because Earl had been bitten before and he doesn't want to hurt his daughter. Earl and Jin say their goodbyes and Earl is left behind.
Jin then gives the Hero the side quest On the Road, in which they must travel outside the resort to find food, medicine, and weapons.
Jin is determined to help everyone in Moresby, and, despite the Hero's request not to, ends up attempting to help the men at the Police Station. She, along with Joseph, then comes face-to-face with the Raskol gang members who took over the station. They beat Joseph until he blacks out, and take Jin in order to "use" her. This begins the main quest Lady in Trouble quest, during which the Hero must rescue her.
The Hero finds her in a room in the station, crouched and sobbing to herself. She tearfully states she was just trying to help and wants to go home. Because of this, Sam B argues that Jin is interfering with their plans and is only going to get them killed while Logan Carter tries to reason with him. Sam's attitude results in both him and Logan getting kicked out of the room by Purna and Xian Mei as they help Jin to the armored truck.
Once back at the Lifeguard Tower, and after the main quest Bird on the Roof, Jin gives the main quest Devastator. During this quest, the Hero must escort Jin to an old bunker, and blow open the door. This allows the two to access the tunnel and make their way to the jungle, where they can find Mowen, who is needed to get the group to Ryder White.
During the main quest Back in Black, when the Hero, Jin, and Mowen have returned to the Resort area, Jin says she must go and do something on her own. A cut-scene plays showing Jin returning to her father's workshop. She opens the door to the office and backs away. Moments later, an infected Earl comes through. When he approaches her, she tells him that she loves him, then shoots him. She then shoots the portrait of herself with the Royal Palms Resort in the background and leaves the workshop.
During the main quest Chasing the White Rabbit, the Hero catches up with Colonel White during his escape attempt. He claims that they are going to make more of the antidote and will return and save everyone, but one of the prisoners, Kevin, states that his real plan is to bomb the island. Ryder also has his wife tied up and is going to use the cure on her when they're off the island. However, Jin becomes angry with him and unties Emily. Emily then bites Ryder, forcing him to kill her. Angry, Ryder then shoots Jin twice in the chest, causing her to fall off of the elevated helicopter platform to her death. In the game's ending cutscene, Jin is last seen as a corpse on the ground where she landed, surrounded by a pool of her own blood.
Appearance[]
Jin is a young woman with short black hair. Unlike most female survivors in the Resort, Jin is fully dressed with blue overalls, a white undershirt with the left shoulder falling off, exposing the strap of her red bra, and brown boots. She also wears a brown tool belt with multiple tools on it, a grey knee guard on her right knee, and a red and blue beaded necklace.
Storage[]
Jin offers the Storage service, allowing the Hero to store their excess inventory with her.
The last time you'll be able to interact with Jin in your current playthrough in prison prior to completing the game is just after waking up in the elevator cutscene then heading to the roof, it is wise to remove all items you want to use for the final fights and early new game.
If you have the Bloodbath Arena DLC, you can access your storage items from a crate near the trader.
After completing the game, you will be able to start a New Game+. You will be able to interact with Jin upon finishing the quest Only the Strong Survive, but you can access the storage earlier from Bloodbath Arena. All items from your previous playthrough are still there.
Glitches[]
- Jin's storage service currently suffers from a serious bug; if the Hero tries to remove an item from Jin's storage while their inventory is full, the item will vanish from the game. It does not appear on the ground or in the player's already full inventory.
- Storing too many items in Jin caused a serious bug to occur prior to patch 1.3. Unfortunately, the exact number is unknown, so store as few items in Jin as possible. The bug will cause your game to freeze upon reloading and for now there is no known way of recovering/fixing the file. At present, various sites report this occurring on all platforms.

Trivia[]
- In the Dead Island novel, Jin was studying to be a nurse.
- Jin's mother is believed to have died from cancer when Jin was a little girl.
- In the game, it is implied that Jin was raped by the gang members at the Police Station.
- In the novel it is said that Jin was raped multiple times by three different men.
- One of the staff members at Techland stated that Jin wasn't going to die by Ryder. In the original script for the game, she would survive and make it on the helicopter with the other survivors, but the script was changed.
- When first arriving at the river village, Jin seems to know Mohakin and Matutero. This is never explained.
- Jin's mother used to play in the jungle bunkers and tunnels when she was a kid.
- In Dead Island 2, upon Curtis' suggestion, Sam B decided to name his gun after Jin, stating on how she looked after everything they couldn't and that they counted on her a lot. This tells us that Sam feels guilty for being rude to her after she was assaulted and how they couldn't get her off the island like how her father hoped they would.
