Power to the People | Side quests - The Gas Station Dying Light: The Following Guide

How to unlock: Automatically, after you complete side quest - The Mechanic.

Difficulty level: hard

Rewards: 10000 experience points, 500 Trust points, restoration of power supply to safe zones, unlocks a new safe zone (dam).

Note - As far as this is possible, try to complete this quest as early as possible. This is so, because completing it is required to restore power supply to some of the safe zones in the game world. It is only then tat they become available to you (even if you have already secured them).

The tower that you need to climb onto

Start by having a conversation with Bilal at the Gas station, as a result of which you receive a Fuse. Your first task is to obtain an insulator and for this, you need to go to the overhead line support to the West of the station. After you get there, climb to the top. You can make climbing easier for yourself, by jumping over from the fragment of the highway. While climbing, watch out and do not make a mistake, or you will fall and die.

After you climb to the very top, walk over to one of the end-fragments of the support and interact with the insulator - an example item of this type has been has been shown in the above screenshot. Tap rhythmically the interaction button to detach the Insulator. It will drop to the ground. Start climbing down the support slowly, or spot bags that you can safely jump down onto. Find the insulator and collect it.

Thanks to the presence of Acolyte Ali, zombies do not attack

You now need to go towards the Dam in the South-Western corner of the map. Since there is quite a distance to cover, it is a good idea to use the buggy. After you walk into the energy plant, reach the marked point, which is where you find Ali. He is being protected by one of the acolytes, so you can talk to him safely. Ali asks you to reach the main switch inside the dam. Go West and take the narrow passage.

Soon after you start the exploration of the dam, you will watch a cutscene, from which you learn that a mutant appeared around. You do not need to fight him, although this is an option (it is a good idea to use the best of your weapons and explosives). It is much better to focus on reaching the fuse box shown in the above screenshot. Before you do this, try to lure the mutant away, into a different place, because he can charge at you, or throw a concrete fragment at you.

Room with the second switch

You can now jump into the hole in the room with the huge mutant. Watch out, because there are zombies down below and the greatest threat are toads and the volatile (use good firearms and keep an eye on your character's health level). After you have secured the area, make it over to the balconies above and reach a new room, where there is the main switch.

Sewer exit

You now need to meet up with Ali again. Return to the previous area and follow the sewer tunnels - your destination is the locked grate which you need to unlock by turning the white valve. Release the blockade and follow the tunnel, thanks to which you get to the surface.

Bolters will appear in waves of 2-3 monsters

Go to the orange building marked by the game and eliminate all of the zombies in front of it. After you have cleared the area, knock on the door and talk to Ali. Towards the end of this quest, you need to protect Ali, while he is working on restoring power supply. This is not an easy task, because there will appear bolters here. Use your firearms or melee weapons which allow quick attacks (e.g. upgraded machete). Heal your character between the individual waves and do not stray away from Ali. After he finishes working, the quest will end.
