Cease and Desist
| "A small group of survivors have settled in the school. Their leader is Erol, the former Governor of the province. He says Rais has ordered his execution, and that a squad of his men are searching for him at the Slabs. Maybe I can catch them by surprise." Quest introduction
|
Cease and Desist is a side quest available in Dying Light.[1]
Objectives
- Go to the Slabs
- Some of Rais's men have been killed by Infected. I can hear a voice coming over a walkie-talkie. It must be on one of the bodies.
- Find the walkie-talkie
- I've just gotten a message from Karim. He's still in the Slabs, at 5 Gabriel Estate.
- Get to 5 Gabriel Estate
- Find Karim
- Search the upper floors for Karim
- I found the guys who've been tracking Erol, and Karim was among them. Seems Karim was Erol's bodyguard, and that Erol lost his leg after being infected. More importantly, he said Erol has arranged for a copter to evac him out of Harran. Karim was hoping to be on it, but Erol doesn't want him. I'll have to talk to Erol again.
- Return to Erol
- Erol has his version of events and it all sort of makes sense. He's offered me a seat on the copter, and says he can get me through NCOR quarantine-whatever that is. We've got to mark our position with a big sign painted on the roof. I'll need to find paint. There was some scaffolding used to make murals at the Slabs. I should probably start looking there.
- Find three cans of spray paint
- I've got the paint. Now I should go back to the school and paint some marks on the roof.
- Go to the roof and use the paint to mark the chopper's landing pad
- Talk to Erol
- Erol has stolen nearly $25 million from the bank. It's in a duffle bag in a school locker, and Erol's not leaving without it. I'll get it for him, but I'm not calling in the evac until I've finished my job here. I shouldn't need his help getting out of Harran, but it's not a bad idea to have a backup plan. Just in case.
- Recover Erol's duffle bag
- Get back to Erol
- Erol was willing to fly me out, but the evac people knew who I was. Erol came up with the phony money story to keep me busy while he got his family out. Guess I can't really blame him. He says he left something for me on the roof. I should go up and have a look.
- Get to the roof of the building
- Go check the roof
Rewards
- 10 000 survivor points
- Airdrops on the roof, with DROPs
Walkthrough
Within the school, after having cleared it with Jade, Erol Asani and some of his companions have taken up residence. He is being hunted down by Rais's thugs, and requests Crane to help him. He sends Crane off to the Slabs - located near the bus station.
At the Slabs, some dead thugs of Rais can be found, slain by the infected roaming the area. Karim is heard speaking through one of the receivers, making it clear that he's looking for Erol. Kill or distract the infected and turn over the bodies. Karim will demand his troops to return to his location - Gabriel's Estate 5, and to enter through the basement. Go there and sneak up on Karim.
Inside the building numerous of Rais's Bandits can be found, all of them looking for Erol. Crane will have to deal with them and climb up a couple of floors in order to reach Karim, as the power of the elevator has been cut off. Talk to Karim and learn his side of the story. Then part ways and return to Erol to give a report on the situation. Upon doing so, Crane is sent out to obtain some paint for a sign on the rooftop.
- Within the marked area, the paint can be found:
- On the south-east corner of the scaffolding, one floor up from ground.
- On the south-west scaffolding, accessible from a ladder on the roof.
- On the roof in the south-east corner.
There's a zipline on the south-eastern part of the rooftop of the safe zone which can be used to zipline back to the school after obtaining the paint. Once back at the school, get up to its rooftop and use the paint to create a sign reading "help", and then get back to Erol.
Erol claims to have a duffle bag full of 24.7 million Harran dollars in a locker of the second floor of the school. Go inside the school via the basement and look around for it. It quickly becomes clear that the lockers are empty, but upon trying to leave through the same door as Crane came in with, it turns out that it's been blocked or locked, and won't open. While trying to get out through another way, Erol contacts Crane and informs him that the duffle bag story was a lie and that he's already called in the helicopter to get out of Harran while Crane was looking for the paint. The evac team explicitly said that Crane couldn't come with them, so Erol had to make up a story to leave him behind.
Now stuck in the school, Crane has to fight his way through the Infected and to the top floor in order to exit through the rooftop. Once there, Karim can be spotted next to the loot that Erol decided to leave behind for Crane, serving as the reward.
