To obtain The Hero’s Journey side quest in Dead Island 2, approach the pillars underneath the southern side of the pier. You’ll find our heroic lifeguard with an actual survivor.
Speak with Burt. He’ll need you to take Rita to the Lifeguard HQ. We of course cannot leave him behind, so clear the way of zombies then make your way to the public toilets in search of Burt’s lucky torp. These toilets are actually located across the beach in the military zone. Once you find them, head between them to find some crates. Kick the crates to destroy them then head into the area with all the blue porter potties. Loot the red torp from the ground!
Next, make your way to the Lifeguard HQ. Speak with Rita then run to the shoreline to save Burt. A bit of de ja vu as he’s in the lifeguard hut surrounded by zombies. Take out the undead then speak with Burt in the hut. Afterwards, the quest will complete!
