The Recording Studio is a location featured in Dead Island. It is located within the city of Moresby and it's the location of Garett Grant. It is first encountered during the side quest Message to the Masses where the Hero is tasked with going to the studio to find Garett Grant with a recording for him to play from Mother Helen. It is later then the primary safe area for Garett's own side quest chain, the Heads of Cerberus quest chain. Upon completing the quest chain, Garett stays in the recording studio to keep the message playing via the loudspeakers which are scattered across Moresby and connected to the recording studio.
Layout[]
The recording studio is a small, one room bungalow located on the far right of Moresby. The building is protected from the zombies via a chain fence door and a high wall, though with some parkour, a person can hop over the collection of dumpsters and crates to get over the wall. There's quite a big open area in front of the studio which has a bunch of rubbish scattered everywhere as well as a metal shed which likely contains more equipment. You can see an aerial and radio dish on top of the building as well as a tall radio tower just behind it, connected to the building.
Inside the building there's a halfway dividing wall separating the recording desk and the rest of the room. The half closest to the door has a sofa and table, likely for people to sit and rest before recording something, while the other half of the room has the large equipment desk and a computer in the corner. There's an inaccessible door behind it which likely either led to more of the building or down to some sort of basement.
Notes[]
- There's a level 1 locked metal chest inside the building next to the recording desk. This often gives out some good weapons, at least of green rarity or higher.
- It's possible for an Infected to get over the wall if it spots you before you can get into the courtyard. The Infected can climb onto the dumpsters and then climb over the wall. However, Garett can't die from this as he's not an escort NPC, so he's untouchable by the Infected.
