В Dying light 2 stay human a lot of side quests that can be easily skipped on a quick first passing the game. At the same time, not everyone knows that in the list of story missions there are those that will not open if the wrong choice was made in the course of history.
There are several story-critical decisions that change subsequent missions. Perhaps we are talking about the new content of the dialogue, but there are also those options for decisions that lead the hero to a completely another location. What follows is a look at all of the existing forks in Dying Light 2 and their impact on the story.
It is also worth noting that the developers specifically removed the ability to save, to force players to replay the game to get a different ending or correct dialogue errors. For many, this is a significant inconvenience, as sometimes there is an annoying "misclick" when choosing a replica. Therefore, we recommend reading the instructions How to save your game in Dying Light 2.
Taken out in a separate guide all Dying Light 2 endings and their unlock guide.
#1 Story mission "Raid": choosing the path of survivors or peacekeepers
During the passage of one of the initial story quests "Raid" you will need to choose who to go to - Aitor (the leader of the peacekeepers of Villedor) or Sophie (a respected survivor in the Bazaar).
Depending on the choice made, the Water Tower, captured during the quest, will go to peacekeepers or survivors. Actually the hero chooses the path one of the factions. The former are able to create car traps, allowing them to more effectively destroy enemies, while the latter improve structures, helping to move faster on rooftops.
Read more about the impact of choosing a faction and what benefits they provide.
If you go to Aitor, then the hero will meet Sophie after the conversation overheard by Barney. If you choose "We can help each other", then Aiden will follow the woman's plan with the crossbow. The second replica will finally transfer the events to the Aitor branch.
#1.1 Water tower: Jack and Joe - kill?
At the top of the Water Tower, you can leave the renegades alive which will unlock an additional quest later. Jack and Joe will be re-encountered in jail on the Missy, where they will receive side quest "Moonshine". If they are not killed, Sophie will suspect something is wrong, but she is easily convinced of her loyalty by choosing the appropriate options for replicas during the dialogue.
For the plot, the fork is fraught with the following:
- On the path of the survivors (gave the tower to the Survivors) - you have to follow Sophie's plan.
- On the path of peacemakers (given the tower to the Peacekeepers) - Aitor will arrest Barney. In the future, you will have to complete the tasks of the leader of this faction.
#1.2 Revolution: fight in the Bazaar against the Peacekeepers
This quest is unlocked if the water tower has been handed over to the Survivors. To be blow up the windmill of the peacekeepers, depriving them of electricity, and then repulse the attack on the Bazaar. At the same time, the base of peacekeepers in Quarry End will become empty. However, there is a risk of missing this part of the plot with the battle for the territory.
After windmill blown updecide where to go. If you go with Hakon to the Central Loop, you will skip the plot related to the battle in the Bazaar. This decision does not give any advantages, and therefore it is better to go to free the locals.
In any case, the hero will end up in Hakon's hideout. Here you need to decide whether to help him or leave him to die. In the second case, open additional quest "Sniper Alley".
#1.3 Into the Darkness: Orders from the Peacekeepers
This quest opens when handing over the water tower to the Peacekeepers. Aiden and Hakon will end up in the Central Loop.
Freed from captivity, decide whether to help Anderson. A positive answer leads the hero to a separate task, and a negative one allows you to move on to Hakon's hideout.
#2 Story mission "Welcome aboard": Matt or Juan
Aiden meets with Juan, who offers to take his side instead of Jack Matt. The choice appears:
- "I can help you";
- "I'll be with Matt."
The decision you make affects what the next mission will be.
- If you choose to help Juan, then you have to go further mission "Cathedral", in which you need to move through the church filled with traps and find Kurt (his shelter will open).
- If you stay with Matt, Juan will issue another mission to search for a certain Desmoulins and the missing squad. Once at the building with the goal of the task, defeat a powerful zombie, use the Sense of Survival and find the survivors on the nearby roof, as well as the UV lamps the hero needs.
#3 Broadcasting: to whom to transfer the TV tower
After meeting Frank, Matt and Juan as part of the mission "Broadcast", you need to give one of them the control of the TV tower. Only one of the options has obvious advantages.
Jack Matt
He will broadcast his faction's propaganda throughout the city. There are two options for the development of events:
- If you refuse to cooperate with Hunk, the hero will come to the scene of flooding the city with chemicals, working for the Peacekeepers faction.
- If you follow Hank's idea, then there will be a task with the placement of a spy device. This is necessary to get rid of Jack and establish friendly relations with the colonel (Butcher).
Juan
It will do the same, but it will block the ability to listen to Matt's broadcasts.
Frank
He will create a radio for the survivors, and also subsequently eavesdrop on the negotiations of the renegades for Aiden. It's the best choice if you want to be friends with Loan.
After the quest with Loan's shoes, the hero will wake up due to the radio. The choice you make will affect the mission that is activated. Juan will force Aiden to investigate Jack Matt's activities, and Frank will ask him to activate the towers to expand the broadcast range. He will then need help tracking down renegades who know about Waltz's whereabouts.
#4 Story Mission "Deal with the Devil": Kill Hakon?
During the quest "Deal with the Devil", the hero will still meet with Hakon. This will happen a little earlier if the broadcast tower was given to Frank. When meeting in the church, there will be several stages of the battle with Hakon, and after that it will be possible to kill the opponent. During the dialogue, a critical choice appears:
- "Let's not fight?";
- "What's really going on here, Hakon?";
- "Come closer and I won't have a choice."
The second option returns us to a dialogue with a critical choice - kill or let live. In any case, Loan will appear, who also wishes to kill Hakon if he is still alive. Again, you have to make a choice:
- "Do what you think is right.";
- "Listen to me, Loan, don't do this."
The first option is to kill Hakon, the second is that he is alive. In the first case, Loan continues to live in peace, and in the second, the man becomes an outcast who was rejected by the team. At the same time, Frank will call Loan to the Night Runner squad, which will allow her to gain a life goal.
#5 Story Mission Now or Never: Colonel or Survivors?
On the way to the end of the story, this quest is played differently depending on the choices made earlier. There is a central fork, for which it is extremely important whose side the hero is on - colonel (Butcher) or survivors, wishing to restore the water supply to the city. The choice leads to war with one of the factions.
- If you open the shutters and drain the nearby water, the hero will enter a completely new area with even stronger opponents.
- If you follow the colonel, he will guide Aiden through Waltz's quarters, arranging a trip to X13.
The important thing is that in X13 the hero will appear even if he goes against the Butcher. However, you will have to pursue such a dangerous enemy in a new underwater location, opened when the territories are drained.
