Walkthrough
IGN's Dying Light 2 complete strategy guide and walkthrough will lead you through every step of Dying Light 2 from the title screen to the final credits, including every collectible location, boss strategy and more.
Set many years after the first game, Dying Light 2 follows a man named Aiden Caldwell on his search for his lost sister and the man who experimented on them both. Wandering the world as a "Pilgrim" after the zombie virus that devestated Harran expanded across the globe, Aiden's search has led him to the walled city of Villedor, a place that was initially spared from the virus, until scientists within the city let the virus escape.
This walkthrough will direct you through all of the main story missions in Villedor, and include directions to parkour to your destination, tips on the enemies you'll fight, puzzles you'll solve - and point out any special chests, containers, and collectibles you might find along the way - like the important GRE Inhibitor Containers used to increase your health and stamina.
Dying Light 2 also includes lots of side content not immediately covered in the main walkthrough, including many Side Quests - which you can see a list of here, as well as lore collectibles like Mementos and Tapes.
Dying Light 2 Walkthrough Sections
IGN's Dying Light 2 Walkthrough is presented by the story missions you undertake. Despite being forced to make several choices in your conversations with the people of Villedor, and finding yourself in the middle of several warring factions, Aiden's story will progress in mostly the same path regardless of your decisions - barring a few important choices you will have to make at times.
A few of these choices will unlock alternate main story mission depending on who you side with, or you may find a character's fate may be different. These choices and outcomes will be highlighted for you, with outcomes displayed behind a spoiler filter should you wish to see potential consequences. The walkthrough will also point out all Inhibitor Containers that have been placed along the main story path, and all collectibles can be obtained after the story concludes, thanks to a post-game section.
