Use Ope's help to find a stable strain of the virus
In order to create a vaccine, the scientist needs a stable form of the Kuru, even before the mutation. Leave the lab and go to Ope (1) #1 (use Fast Travel if you do not want to fight undead). You'll learn that basically everyone has eaten flesh of undead so your last hope is in tombs. Take Ope to your boat #2 and you go together to the tombs. Along your way you'll be attacked by three groups of undead.
You go further only with Ope, because Mowen stays at the boat (1). The first difficult fight will happen in a small village (2) #1. It can be tough so control Ope health bar. Along your way you'll be attacked few more times but only by single infected. Watch out on the bridge - it is very narrow there and you do not have enough room to maneuver #2.
You'll reach raised bridge (3) #1. In order to lower it down you have to use a lever on the other side. Jump down onto the ledge on the left and then take a run-up and jump to the other side #2. If you can't make it just climb the ladder and try again.
Hold the action button on a lever to lower down the bridge #1 and then follow Ope to the tombs (4) #2. A cut-scene starts showing you finding a woman from the tribe named Yerema.
After leaving the tombs (1) she will show you a returning path to the both, far shorter than one you used before. First jump of the rocks (2) #1 and bypass part of the road but once you get to the bottom be very careful because at that moment "a hell is unleashed" #2.
Try to stay close to Yerema. When you reach the cliff you'll notice that Mowen has left the boat and decided to go to the place where sacrifices are made #1. Do not wait any longer and go down to save your companion (3) #2. You'll face a Thug and a Floater and lots of Walkers.
Once all enemies are dead, follow Mowen and Yerema to the boat (4). Return to the lab.
After reaching a part of the island with the lab Yerema will show you the way, which is a little bit longer and does not follow a main road leading to the Geo Pharm building. Once you get to the first junction, you'll leave the main path (1) #1. There are traps along your way - they are marked on the above map. There will be more fights that on the main road #2.
Once you get to the facility (2) open a door leading to the metal passage #1, which you can use to get to the warehouse area (3). It is close to the lab itself so go quickly to Dr West and show him Yerema. Now he can collect blood samples from her #2.
Hard Talk
Obtained from: The Voice
Talk to Mowen
Time is pressing, you can't wait any longer and you're rushed by the mysterious Voice. Quickly leave the lab and go to the marina (1) to talk to Mowen. As you saved his life he will agree to take you to the prison. Before it happens however you have to take some useful items from the city and the resort.
