By
Jessica Dillon

Dead Island 2 is a game all about fun. You listen to witty dialogue and slay zombies using an interesting array of weapons. Once you meet up with Emma and learn that you are immune to the virus, the game’s second quest line will take you out into the world to visit the Halperin Hotel. This can be a difficult mission as you are just learning to use the mechanics of the game and only have weaker weapons at your disposal. The guide below goes over how to get to Halperin Hotel and clear its lobby to complete Call The Calvary.

Fighting through the Halperin Hotel Lobby in Dead Island 2.

Now that you’ve rendezvous with Emma, you now have to go on the main mission, Calling the Cavalry. Head outside, and fight your way down the road to south of Bel-Air.

Once you reach the Goat Pen Mansion, you will find a zombie banging on the front door and discover it’s locked. Head up the stairs to the left of the front entrance and jump down through the skylight. You will now want to work your way through the house until you get into the streaming room. In here you will find the Dead Island 2 Goat Pen Master Keycard on the desk and a named zombie. Use the keycard to make your way out of the house and continue on to Halperin Hotel. There’s also Goat Pen Dan, who is in the basement bowling alley, and also drops the Goat Pen Keycard.

Getting Into Halperin Hotel in Dead Island 2

Getting into Halperin Hotel is much trickier than the walk you took to get there. As you get close to the entrance and what used to be a checkpoint, you will see zombies. There are three paths to take here. Avoid going through the front gate right away and wipe out the zombies directly in front of you and head to the right. Here, you will find a red supply chest with a powerful hammer. Once this is done, work your way through the zombies on the left.

Grab the Improvised Hammer for some hard hitting power.

You will now want to clear out the zombies around the entrance to the hotel. This isn’t too difficult. Make sure to top up your health and open the lobby door.

Once the lobby door is open, you will be greeted by a large number of zombies. If you don’t know how to handle them, they can quickly overwhelm you. Take out the zombies directly in front of you and back up into the parking lot if need be. Be careful not to accidentally quit the mission by wandering back towards the ruined checkpoint. Once you have a clearing, run into the lobby. At the center of the lobby you will see some damaged wires letting out electricity.

Use the zombie trap to clear the Halperin Hotel lobby.

There will be a battery nearby. throw it near the wires and use zombie bait to quickly rid the room. If you don’t have any bait, then try to run the zombies into your trap naturally. You will now need to look into the locked room. Inside you will see it’s decorated for a wedding and hear the Major speak for the first time prompting you to move on to the second part of the Halperin Hotel quest line.
