Curtis' Safe Key location in Dead Island 2
Below, you'll find the steps you must follow to find Curtis' Safe Key in Dead Island 2:
- Complete the "Plumbing the Depths" quest to defeat your first Screamer.
- Head back to Curtis Sinclair's mansion in Bel-Air.
- Defeat Crystal the Lawyer in Curtis' garden to retrieve Curtis' Safe Key.
To get Curtis' Safe Key in Dead Island 2, you must complete the "Plumbing the Depths" mission. During "Plumbing the Depths", you'll come across your first Screamer. That's an Apex Variant zombie that, well, screams very loud.
After encountering your first Screamer, head back to Curtis Sinclair's mansion in Bel-Air. If you're far away, don't forget to fast travel to make the trip significantly quicker.
After arriving at Curtis Sinclair's mansion, head into the garden with the party decorations. On one end of the garden, there is a large tent. Inside, you'll find a special Screamer named Crystal the Lawyer.
When you defeat Crystal the Lawyer, they might drop Curtis' Safe Key. I'll highlight "might" real quick, because it's worth noting that Crystal did not drop the key on our first encounter.
We revisited later on to find that they had respawned, and killing Crystal a second time made the key drop. It's unclear whether this is a glitch, or if Curtis' Safe Key does not have a 100% drop rate.
If you're struggling to defeat Crystal the Lawyer even once, then consider inviting some pals into a Dead Island 2 co-op multiplayer session for some help.
