Dying Light: The Beast features a rich array of side quests that deepen the narrative and flesh out the stories of the survivors Kyle Crane encounters. One of the most touching—and challenging—is "The Last Wish," which sends Kyle on a three-part objective: finding a grave, solving a safe puzzle, and retrieving a sentimental music box for a dying old woman.This guide details exactly how to start the quest, locate Iris' husband's grave, and find all the safe codes to complete "The Last Wish."

How to Start the Last Wish Side Quest

The "Last Wish" side quest is a mid-game objective that becomes available after you have progressed far enough to meet the exiled survivors.
  • Prerequisite Quest: You must first complete the main quest "Some Like It Dark."
  • Unlock Location: Once the prerequisite is met, the Exiles Cave save zone will be unlocked. This cave is where you become acquainted with different exiles who possess powers similar to Kyle's.
  • Starting the Quest:
  • Head to the lower portion inside the Exiles Cave.
  • You will find Amelia looking over a sick old lady named Iris.
  • Speak to Amelia (look for the "exclamation mark" symbol on her head) to initiate the "Last Wish" side quest.
The quest will task Kyle with three main objectives: first, reaching Iris' house; second, placing flowers on her husband's grave; and third, retrieving her music box.

Iris' Husband's Grave Location

The first major task is a simple search and delivery at Iris' old home.

  • Head to the House: Follow the quest marker to the location of Iris' house, which will be surrounded by zombies.
  • Climb to the Roof: To safely and efficiently find the grave, climb to the exterior roof of the house.
  • Locate the Grave: Once you are on the rooftop, look toward the trees. The grave is located near a cluster of trees with golden leaves to the right of the house.
  • Complete Objective: Head to this specific area and interact with the grave to place the flower and complete the first objective of "The Last Wish."

Retrieving the Music Box (All Safe Codes)

The second part of the quest involves breaking into the house and solving a two-part safe code puzzle.

Part 1: Entering Iris' House and Finding the First Clue

  • Enter the House: Head back to Iris' home and approach the east side. Look for a boarded-up window. Break the wooden planks with a weapon to gain entry.
  • Find the Key: The door to Iris' room is straight ahead but locked. To find the key, head down the stairs and look on the table to the right.
  • Find the Safe: Unlock Iris' room. Inside, you will find a couple of collectibles and the main objective: a locked safe placed on the bookshelf. The code is missing.
  • New Objective: After checking in with Amelia, Kyle is directed to check Iris' husband's store in the Old Town for a clue.

Part 2: Retrieving the Safe Code

  • Travel to the Store: Follow the new quest marker to Iris' husband's store in Old Town.
  • Enter the Store: Enter the building using the little crawlspace underneath the main door.
  • Clear and Unlock: Eliminate all the infected inside. Then, use your lockpick ability to unlock the door behind the cash register.
  • Find the Code: The door leads to the back office. Interact with the journal on the desk to find the combination for the locked safe back at Iris' house.

Part 3: The Warehouse Showdown (Final Safe Codes)

Returning to Iris' house, you'll discover the safe has been stolen. You must now track the thief's footprints to a nearby warehouse.

  • Enter the Warehouse: Track the footprints to a warehouse where you can use Kyle's Beast Sense to see armed thugs inside. You can enter through an open window conveniently located above some boxes.
  • Clear the Thugs: Defeat all the enemies inside the warehouse.
  • Unlock the Safes: You will find three different locked safes inside the warehouse. Thesafe codes found in the journal will now be used to unlock the threedifferent safes.
