Hidden ending | Game endings Dying Light: The Following Guide

A hidden ending can be found in The Following expansion, which activates separately, independently of the two previously described. You can start the process of unlocking the hidden ending when you acquire the Military Keycard. Crane will get that item from Jasir, when he advances in The Gathering story-related quest enough.

Note - Similarly to the two previously described endings, the game will allow you to continue the journey after completing the hidden ending. You won't lose the possibility to complete the side quests, or to acquire all the secret items.

In order to get to the hidden ending, you must first acquire a number of story-related items, which can be gathered in any order. The first item you need is the access code needed to arm the nuclear warhead. To acquire it, get to a small island shown on the above screenshots - it's located at the eastern end of the map, near the town.

The box containing the access codes.

After reaching the mentioned Island, ignore the nearby chests and dive into the water. You must locate a sunken box - a corpse is drifting near it. Open the box and collect the plan-like Nuclear Codes.

Afterwards, you have to acquire the military access code. In order to do so, head towards the warehouse shown on the above screenshot, located near the granary, at the southern section of the map.

You can kill the weaker zombies without entering the warehouse.

The warehouse can be recognized by one of the Freaks of Nature (a Behemoth) located inside. Fortunately, you don't have to deal with the beast in order to unlock the hidden ending. Instead, try to eliminate the other zombies wandering round the warehouse. You should use a bow, or a crossbow, to eliminate them silently, without the need to enter the warehouse to do so.

After clearing and entering the warehouse, provoke to boss to attack, giving you a few seconds of free time during which he won't be able to attack again. Quickly locate and open the orange box shown on the above screenshot. The Military Transport Key can be found inside. Acquire it and quickly get out of the warehouse.

Another object to acquire is the military activation card. In order to get the item, head towards the dam located at the south-western section of the map. You must dive into the water at the place shown on the screenshot number 1. Locate the corpse shown on the screenshot number 2. Turn them around and pick up the Military Activation Card.

The last place you must visit is the destroyed segment of the highway, which can be seen on the above screenshot. It's located at the center of the map (near the safe zone on the highway). Upon arrival, look for the locked trailer of a truck and use one of the access code items on it in order to get inside.

Your last task is to arm the nuclear warhead and prepare it for the detonation.

There's a nuclear warhead inside the trailer and your task is to arm it in order to detonate it (similarly to the Ending 1 described in the previous chapter). In order to do so, you must:

• insert the access card into the card near located below the terminal
• interact with the terminal
• arm the nuclear warhead (by pressing the interact key / button) - Crane will input the detonation codes and the countdown will begin.
