Starting the Body Art: Vigor quest in Beverly Hills.

How to Start Body Art: Vigor in Dead Island 2¶

For the fifth Body Art quest, you will need to have completed Body Art: Uproar and have unlocked Butchers by completing Boardwalking Dead. Once this is done, head to Francesca’s in Beverly Hills and pick the quest up from the corkboard above her collection bucket. This time you will be harvesting Blade Arms from Butchers.

Where to Find Blade Arms in Dead Island 2¶

Blade Arms are dropped by Butchers and their variant, Vicious Butcher, in Dead Island 2. In addition, Mutators also drop this item, but they are a much harder enemy to deal with, so it’s best to skip them for now.

Blade Arms are a decently common drop with Butchers, so you shouldn’t have to farm them for too long. You will need to donate three Blade Arms to Francesca’s bucket to complete Body Art: Vigor. Here are two easy-to-reach locations where Butchers spawn.

• Near the Ferris Wheel on The Pier
• Near the end of Hollywood Boulevard

Keep in mind that if there are bodies around, you will need to deal with Butchers trying to regenerate their health. In addition, only one Butcher usually spawns at a time, so you will need to run back and forth between spawns to complete the quest quickly. Once you have three Blade Arms, return to Francesca and place them in her bucket to spawn the final quest, Body Art: Dread.
