How to easily complete the Clickbait side quest in Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 really captures the feeling of LA and streaming culture with the #Clickbait side quest. Players will travel to the GOAT Pen, a streaming house in Bel-Air. However, they won’t be able to access this non-story quest until a bit into the game. As one of the four non-story quests in the zone, it makes up a fair chunk of your overall progression throughout the game.

In this quest, one member of the GOAT Pen, Amanda Styles, is still alive and unzombified. Players get word of explosions kicking off at the streaming house, and for this Dead Island 2 side quest, you need to go check it out. Upon arrival, Amanda reveals her plan to create content as the world ends, and you get roped into helping her out.

When you get to the roof area of the Goat Pen, you’ll see Amanda Styles, who you’ll speak to in order to trigger this quest. She’ll have several objectives for you in order to make the best possible viral video.

When I did this side quest on PlayStation 5, I did not read the first objective and went straight to killing Dead Island 2’s many foes. You need to kick zombies off the roof first, so break a few panes of glass to make it easier.

Any character can use the basic kick function, but Survivors that have a jumpkick (like Dani) can boot them much farther. It can be a bit tricky, but zombies never stop spawning until you’ve completed the burning portion of the side quest.

After that, Amanda will want you to chop limbs off. This part, at least, is much easier. Just wield a slicing weapon and cut body parts off by swinging at legs and arms. If you have a gun, you can shoot legs or arms off. No matter how you do it, cut body parts off to progress this Dead Island 2 mission.

Next up is perhaps the hardest part, unless you have fiery weapons or throwables. You need to burn six zombies to death. Fortunately, there are fires scattered throughout the area that you can use to your advantage. Once you've completed this step, you'll need to take out any remaining zombies that have spawned.

This is also where you'll encounter your first Crusher, also known as "Chonkers," which was previously the boss of the Halperin Hotel. To defeat it, you'll need to dodge its punches, jump over its shock waves, and attack its head and legs.

After that, you can claim your reward and progress deeper into Dead Island 2. Unlike most of the other survivors you save, Amanda's not especially interested in leaving her spot just yet, but it’s certainly a fun optional mission for you to take on in Hell-A.
