4: The Bunker | Side quests - Old Town Dying Light Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Way to unlock: Meet with Ihsan in the safe zone (point 4a on the map).
Difficulty level: medium
Reward: 10000 experience points
You can find Ihsan in the safe zone, in the Northern part of the Old Town (the rooftop of one of the buildings). During the meeting, you learn about the titular bunker with lots of supplies inside. As instructed by Ihsan, head for the meeting with Thabit in the central part of the map (point 4b on the map). There are several directions, from which you can enter Thabit's hideout, which is the middle level of the building/ During the conversation with Thabit, you learn that you will have to supply him with the mayor's seal as a bribe, before he tells you the bunker's location.
To find the seal, you need to head towards the hotel in the Western part of the Old Town (point 4c on the map). Try to move over rooftops, because you can access the hotel only through the rooftop. Locate the manhole on the roof and use it. Start the quite linear exploration the hotel (along your path, move the wardrobe). Watch out for the corpses that you pass by, because some of them are the infected lurking for their prey. With time, you will also stat bumping into the infected and it is a good idea to fight them in narrow corridors and use Molotovs and throwing weapons.
Your destination is the hotel vestibule on the ground floor of the building. Find the interactive terminal here and interact with it. You can now return to the first floor (jump towards one of the ledges) and head for the room marked in yellow, on the minimap. The Seal of the Mayor is in the chest shown in the above screenshot, at the foot of the bed, and to open it, you need to complete a minigame of lockpicking (a medium lock). You can leave the hotel by moving the wardrobe. Return to Thabit and give the seal to him, which will win you the whereabouts of the bunker.
The town hall is near Thabit's hideout (point 4d on the map), but you need to watch out for all the zombies in the main square. You need to reach the main door behind a grate (you can climb onto it) and wait for the new area to load. Start eliminating the infected in the town hall and especially watch out for the two exploding zombies in the big room on the left (additionally, after the explosion, there appear running monsters here) Fight your way towards the staircase and climb down. After a while, you reach the locked door of the underground bunker. Listen to the radio conversation with Thabit and exit the town hall.
To find the key to the bunker go West (point 4e on the map). The key is in custody of the police captain Halim, who turned into a monstrous mutant. Before you take on him, deal with the rest of the mutants around, especially the runners. As for the captain himself, the easiest way to kill him is with the machine gun (aim at his head from behind a good cover and fire). Fighting a direct fight with the Captain is not a good idea but, if you have a good melee weapon on you, you can give it a try (dodge to the sides after the mutant starts his charge and attack when he is facing away). Regardless of your tactic, loot the corpse and take the Bunker key.
Again, go to the town hall (point 4d on the map) and head towards the staircase, while watching out for the zombies. At the bunker entrance, you meet Thabit and, after a short conversation, he attacks you. DO NOT RETREAT into the staircase, because there probably is another explosive zombie there. Instead, defeat the official at the bunker entrance, at best with a melee weapon, and by dodging from his attacks. After you have secured the area, use the bunker key. Explore all of the rooms in the bunker and reach the locked Storage. Turn left and look up. Jump into the venting shaft and reach the Storage to end this quest. Of course, loot the Storage beforehand.
