In order to begin the Haus DLC, you will firstly need to purchase or download the Haus DLC from your respective store then go to Emma’s Mansion in Bel-Air. You will also need to complete the main story of Dead Island 2 where you can then go down the staircase and out to the tennis courts, where, if you look to the right of the courts you will see a seating area.
On the left side of the seating area will be an invitation on a small table with champagne inviting you to the join the cult, collect the invitation to be taken to the Haus DLC. The Haus DLC is one that may make you queasy if you’re not strong of stomach as it turns the grotesque nature of the base game up a considerable amount so be forewarned.
I strongly recommend not only completing the main game but also completing the majority, if not all of the side quests & lost and found quests in the base game as the gear you will receive is incredibly helpful to help you push through the Haus DLC.
From the start of the Haus DLC, go through and speak with Victor, reattach his head and head through the cul-de-sac where you will be aiming to and unlocking the following:
With the Rites of Passage completed, spend the time to take out 15 zombies with garden equipment if you didn’t do it through natural progression then head through to Konstantin’s house where, along the way you can unlock:
With Veronique’s head reattached you can then proceed through the Forest following the fairly linear path to the well then the Arena where you will find Iris’ corpse who has a Crossbow next to her. With that in hand you can now work towards unlocking:
Follow the path back around to the Diner ensuring your gear is repaired and you have a good number of MedKits available to help you take down Long Piglet unlocking:
Then it’s a case of progressing through to Konstantin, use the Crossbow to destroy the brains shooting through the broken glass around the Ark and clearing the zombies using your best gear for the 2nd wave as you have a heavy enclave of zombies to take down. Use your Fury mode if you need to until you take everything down this concluding the Haus DLC which will then unlock:
If you are overly struggling with the Haus DLC which wouldn’t surprise me as it is vey tough then leave via the fast travel, get some better gear, replenish your ammo, build up MedKits etc. Then come back and work your way through the hordes.
You will have 2 Lost & Found quests to complete as well in the Haus DLC if you choose to which are:
60 G
One of Us
Received Konstantin’s gift.
Complete the main story of the Dead Island 2 Haus DLC by restoring the Ark, then, once you’re all done and back at Emma’s Mansion you will unlock One of Us.
30 G
Pork Chopped
Defeat Long Piglet.
Long Piglet is essentially a powerful Crusher who has a decent entourage of zombies along for the feat. Progress through the DLC to the Diner then open the door to begin the fight. Avoid the slams, swings and kicks until you manage to bring Long Piglet down which will unlock Pork Chopped.

Whatever It Takes
Complete the Rites of Passage in Haus.
The Rites of Passage are small challenges you need to complete in the cul-de-sac section of the DLC once Victor has been re-capitated. Each one will see you needing to use a different elemental damage type to either inflict damage on yourself or on your surroundings. In the cul-de-sac there will be a lot of enemies including several Apex versions so be careful as you navigate through aiming for the second house on your left initially.
Go through the open window on the right side wall then down into the basement where you will learn Hope was electrocuted. Equip an electricity based weapon, stand in the pool of watery blood and attack the water until you become shocked. You will more than likely die from the damage, however, you respawn with no detriment so with that done progress over to the first house on the right and go upstairs to the attic being mindful of the Mutator on the 1st floor.
Go into the room to the right of the staircase and collect the gas valve wheel you can place next to the furnace in the attic. Then, equip a low level weapon, go behind the furnace and hold X to sacrifice the weapon. Bear in mind, whichever weapon you choose to sacrifice will be gone so don’t lose a legendary, unless you have spares.
For the final Rite of Passage you need to go back into the second house on the left, go down into the basement (where you electrified the water), go through the now open doorway and head through.
Clear the ambush then make your way upstairs dealing with anything that gets in your way then interact with the mic to conclude the Rites of Passage unlocking Whatever It Takes.

Wilhelm
Send 15 zombies to their doom in the bottomless pits.
The bottomless pits can be found in Kostantin’s house which is accessible once you have completed the Rites of Passage and unlocked Wilhelm. The easiest way to send zombies to their doom is to jump in the air and drop kick them.
You will need to purchase the equip the Drop Kick skill in your Abilities card slot which you automatically receive early in the main game then lure zombies close to the pits and drop kick them into the pits. It may take several attempts to get a zombie down a pit, however, with the correct timing you will get there soon enough especially after you collect Veronique’s head as there are a lot more zombies who appear near the pits then.
Whichever you way you go about it, send 15 zombies into the pits to unlock Wilhelm.

Top That, Tisha!
Get five headshots with the Crossbow in quick succession.
You will get the Crossbow, the K-Prototype once you have maimed 20 arms at the well paying the toll essentially to open the gate leading you through to the well in the 2nd are of the DLC, the Forest.
Ensure you loot the Bolt bag next to Iris’ corpse to receive 15 more bolts then continue through the DLC to its conclusion. It is possible to get this done during the DLC, however, it is a lot easier if you finish the DLC then head over to a the Blue Crab at Venice Beach, hope the fence the quickly get headshots against the slow Walkers there.
The fact the Crossbow is Blot action can be detrimental as if you miss a shot you will need to get a fresh 5 in quick succession which is easily done by aiming for the head as you’re reloading then manually aiming rather than aiming down sights to fire off a round which will save you time.
This one will take some practice, keep playing through the DLC once you’re done with it where you will inevitably receive new Crossbows with different perks on them then find one that works for you until you manage to get 5 headshots in a row quickly which will unlock Top That, Tisha!.

Lawn and Order
Maim 10 zombies with gardening equipment in the Cul-De-Sac’s tall grass.
After speaking with Victor you will be tasked with clearing the Rites of Passage. Go through to the cul-de-sac then use any sharp weapon capable of maiming which you would usually find in and around a garden such as Axes, Shears, Rakes etc.
For me I used the Krakatoa legendary which you receive as a reward for completing the: Missing: Steve Lost and Found quest in Beverly Hills. Whichever weapon(s) you choose, ensure you are in the grass preferably amongst the flowers then hack away at zombies until you have Maimed 10 of them to unlock Lawn and Order.
That’s the Dead Island 2 Haus DLC guide complete, I hope it helped you through the pack.
