Starting Body Art: Dread in Dead Island 2.

How to Start Body Art: Dread in Dead Island 2¶

Once you have completed Body Art: Vigor and the main story quest, The Search For Truth, you will be able to start Body Art: Dread. Once again, head to Beverly Hills and pay a visit to Francesca’s garage. Here you will find the last Body Art quest pinned to the corkboard above her collection bucket. Grab it to start Body Art: Dread. This time you will really be put to the test as you must harvest Mutated Hearts from Mutators.

Where to Find Mutated Hearts in Dead Island 2¶

Mutators are tough enemies that you really don’t want to run into while walking around in the game. They have ranged and close-range attacks making them a hassle to fight, along with a tanky health bar.

A Mutator on the Halperin Hotel’s third floor.

You will need to harvest three Mutated Hearts, and from what we currently know, Mutators have a 50/50 chance of dropping this item, meaning you will need to kill three at the least and six at the most. Here are the areas where Mutators easily spawn in Dead Island 2.

• In Bel-Air at the sewer entrance
• At Halperin Hotel on the Third Floor near the elevators

We advise avoiding the Mutator hotspot on Ocean Avenue at the lab as just about every type of Apex zombie will also spawn there, and Mutators seem to appear a little bit less frequently at the location. Once you have completed the quest, you will receive an achievement/ trophy called Gore Horse.
