This Dead Island 2 guide details Jamal’s Crate Key location and provides a walkthrough of the Missing: Jamal Lost & Found quest.

Dead Island 2 is here at last. And it has turned out to be a surprise treat for gamers. It’s jam-packed with zombie-slaying action and features plenty of content to keep players occupied.

That includes numerous side activities, such as opening the game’s countless lockboxes. The lockboxes require specific keys to open which are held by certain zombies in Dead Island 2.

One such lockbox is Jamal’s Stash which players will find in the Halperin Hotel district early in the game. However, figuring out how to get hold of the key to open it is making players scratch their heads.

So, which zombie do you need to kill to get the key and where is the zombie? The guide below details the key’s location.

Lastly, follow the quest markers to Jamal’s red pickup truck. It is crashed in the crater just off Lacuna Av. A zombie called “Jamal” dressed in riot gear will be near the truck. Kill it and it will drop Jamal’s Crate Key. Use it to unlock Jamal’s Stash – inside is a rare pistol. The quest is now complete.
