Welcome to the Jungle is a very hard difficulty main quest given to the Hero by The Voice in Dead Island.

Synopsis[]

After arriving in the jungle, the Hero and Jin must reach the River Village and talk to Matutero.

Walkthrough[]

  • This quest is automatically given upon entering the jungle for the first time.
  • It starts with a cutscene showing the group contacting The Voice via radio. After ending the call with hostilities, they debate on what to do until Purna pulls them all together.
  • Upon regaining control of the character, Jin will enter the nearby jeep.
  • Get into the driver's seat and drive down the road.
  • Continue down the road, running over zombies for the fun of it, until you reach Gaia Falls.
  • The bridge is broken and no vehicles can get through, so get out and talk to Jin.
  • Head down and kill all the zombies here, but watch out as there will be a Floater for you to deal with.
  • Once they're all dead, you need to escort Jin the rest of the way to the River Village, so take out your best weapon and prepare to fight.
  • Jin will carry on at her own pace, unless you fall too far behind, where she will then stop to let you catch up but be careful as she might get attacked when you're not there.
  • She'll run through several groups of Walkers and Thugs, so either run ahead of her and kill them or just keep them back until she's through.
  • Defend her all the way to the River Village before heading over to the hut with a ramp. There'll be Mohakin looking out of a window covered with fence. He'll recognise Jin and unblock the door to let you into the hut.
  • Talk to Matutero to finish the quest.

Notes[]

  • It's recommended to take out the Walkers before attempting to take out the Floater at Gaia Falls, so you don't get caught up on them while trying to circle the Floater.
  • If you have a firearm and plenty of ammo, you can kill them all by staying on the high ground and killing them all with headshots, to mitigate any possible damage trying to fight them in melee.
  • Because Jin will wait for you if you fall back a certain distance, you can continue Monica's side-quest Nighthawk to find out about the crashed plane, since you don't actually need to enter the crash site to check it for her.
  • Upon reaching the River Village and unlocking it as a fast travel location, if you ever need a car on the other side of Gaia Falls, you can just fast travel to the Overpass or the Resort bunker where you entered and just take the jeep you travelled in with Jin at the beginning of this quest, as it will respawn there.
    • This is useful for unlocking the Overpass Camp earlier than usual.

Trivia[]

  • This Quest is a reference to the Guns N' Roses song "Welcome to the Jungle".
  • In the original Dead Island, when selecting a character profile that had this quest active as the main quest, the quest name comes up as 'Red Sky at Dawn' as that's what it's listed as in the GameFiles:DITexts.scr/Quests. This has been changed in the Definitive Edition to display the correct quest name.
