Ram on Heaven's Door is a main quest given to the Hero by beginning Act II in Dead Island.

Synopsis[]

Help defend the Church from the attacking zombies.

Walkthrough[]

  • During the cutscene, the player will see the Ram for the first time, repeatedly crashing against the door of the church. This will also activate the quest automatically.
  • Upon gaining control, proceed up the steps to reach the Church, then peer through the bar door to assess the situation.
  • There will be a Ram and multiple Walkers, some with helmets on, making them more resistant to blows to the head.
  • If you have a molotov or other thrown weapon, it will be useful to clear out the Ram's little friends, allowing you to concentrate fully on the Ram.
  • Take them all out via any means you want, but it is imperative that you take out the Walkers first. If you get grabbed by a Walker, the Ram may be able to kill you before you can escape.
  • After killing them all, a survivor will should to you and the door will unlock.
  • Run through the Church to Mother Helen to start the next quest to turn off the bells.

Tips[]

  • When entering the courtyard with the Ram and other zombies run to the middle gate near the fire and jump onto the church pews piled there. Move in and out of attack range on the pews to draw the zombies and the Ram into the flames to burn them up.
  • A single Deo-Bomb can take out the Ram and the zombies.
  • At level under 30 the Ram can be killed with a single Molotov Cocktail. At higher level multiple Molotov Cocktails will need to be used in succession (wait for each to burn out). Do this from outside the gate but be careful, hitting the fence will harm you instead.
  • Do not go inside first. Instead, just stay there in the gate. Wait for the Ram to approach. When it is near you, WALK A FEW STEPS BACKWARDS. It will lose its interest in you and will start to walk away, leaving enough time for you to attack its weak spot at the back. Don't attack too long, for it will turn around and kick you. Keep repeating these steps until it dies. Then, deal with the Walkers. This is a standard tactic for dealing with Rams.
  • See the Ram's dedicated page for more tips and tactics on how to deal with them.

Trivia[]

  • The name of the quest could be a reference to Bob Dylan's song "Knockin' on Heaven's door".
  • It could also literally be describing the quest, with some creative outlook. The Ram is obviously the Ram zombie trying to get in (knocking) while heaven's door is represented as the Church, a house of God.
