Dying Light 2 Stay Human features numerous unique characters scattered throughout the post-apocalyptic city of Villedor. Among these intriguing personalities is Mr Z, a researcher who tasks players with testing their knowledge about the various infected types roaming the wasteland. Finding him and completing his quest is a great way to earn exclusive early-game rewards while testing your understanding of the game's combat mechanics.
Who Is Mr Z in Dying Light 2
Mr Z is an eccentric NPC who spends his time tracking and studying the mutations of the Harran Virus. Because he prefers to avoid dangerous field research himself, he relies on experienced survivors like Aiden to share practical observations from the city streets.
Interacting with him triggers the Infected Intelligence Quiz side quest, where he tests your knowledge regarding specific monster behaviors and traits. Meeting his standards requires paying close attention to how different special infected attack and move during encounters.
Exact Location of Mr Z
Players can locate Mr Z in the Horseshoe district, specifically residing around the Artist Workshop settlement area. To make him appear, you must first secure control over the nearby Maple Windmill and assign the Horseshoe Water Tower.
Once these requirements are met, head toward the southern portion of Horseshoe to find his designated spot. He is typically found waiting atop a rooftop settlement area, ready to converse with anyone willing to assist his research.
How to Complete His Quest and Earn Rewards
During the quiz, Mr Z asks four specific questions regarding infected types like the Banshee, Bolter, Revenant, and Suicider. Providing the correct answers on your first attempt completes the quest immediately and satisfies his curiosity.
Successfully passing the test rewards players with a Level 2 Gravedigger 1-handed weapon alongside a rare collectable item. You will receive the King of Spades Goon playing card, making this brief quiz well worth seeking out for completionists and collectors alike.
