"Your bed is your safezone" Explains how I dont die when the ghost sees me hide under my blanket
or when you turn the light off next to the bedroom door and run like mad to the bed so the darkness monster wont get you XD
The grudge: am i a joke to you!
BULLSHIT they always glitch out the infected when they run
Who else playing dead island in 2020? 😳
2023: Hope everyone is having fun with dead island 2!!!
I am
Hard not to when it's on sale for 4.99 on PSN for the definitive edition
Yes
Just bought it for that $5 price tag so hell yeah!
I got it for 5 bucks
To anyone looking to try this now, if you lure the zombies to the other side of the bed and kick them into the gap between the bed and the wall with the window. If they fall over in that section, it's too narrow for them to stand up so they die instantly. It should save you heaps of time in the early levels
I just found something out you can't max your level out in the beginning because the room with the bed and the narrow gap is on the top floor of the hotel and zombies don't spawn until you get to the bottom floor once you get to the bottom floor you can't go back up unless maybe you save your game first and then restart on the top floor but I don't think zombies ever spawn up there played the game several times and never saw any zombies on the top floor must be some kind of hack or mod to get the zombies to spawn up there
@@nickforest7816 No there's a room with a bed you can stand on on the same floor as the zombies. Spawn the infected, run in the direction you normally would. Before you hit the cutscene, on the left side of the corridor there's a room where a level 20 walker is standing in the doorway. Jump and kick it in the face to knock it down, run into the room. Congratulations you just found a bed
@@SkaterBlades are you sure I ran down the corridor but saw no open bedroom besides the cutscene starts playing before I can even go into that room
@@nickforest7816 are you playing the original version or definitive
@@nickforest7816 it definitely works in definitive edition, I've gotten 3 characters to level 40 before leaving the hotel
Took me 1h 20m to reach level 30 (394.389 XP). I got all the skills from fury, the first 11 from combat and the first 4 from survival and then the conditioning one all the way. So it still works in 2023, think you can even do it quicker, this was my first try watching this tutorial and playing at the same time. Great video still after 6 years! 👍🏼💯
He's a legend in the gaming community
This game gave me nightmares back when it first came out, ahhhh the good ol days😂
The only thing scary in this are the infected, and they get annoying after 5 minutes.
Yup I couldnt finish the story I was so scared to get next to the zombies especially the infected ones
It scared me too lol
I jump so much lol I love it.
When I first played it, I got past the prologue and barely into chapter 1 and was so freaked out that I didn’t play it for over a month 😂
"Lure them back to the bedroom" sounds very wrong xD
None of your business i never would have lol
“Lure them back to the bedroom” - Kevin Spacey
Lure them back to the bedroom.... to give them a good pounding.
Wait that doesn't sound great either.
None of your business lure them back to the bedroom, we'll beat them off! 😕
I had one jump in bed with me. So the bed is not 100% safe xD.
2018 Update: I've just tested it again and it still works. The bed is still safe. On the PS4 at least. Wouldn't recommend using the bathtub, as some have suggested.
Note: To respawn the enemies, load your last checkpoint. It says this in the video. Also, you don't have to dedicate the time to getting all the way to max level doing this - you could easily do this for 30 minutes just to give yourself a big headstart for playing normally.
Why dont you just try it again if youre not sure?
ColossalKiwi I can't believe that Dying Light 2 is coming out. Will you do a walkthrough?
As of Sunday June 17 2018. I am playing this one my Xbox one s and I can confirm that this works. It only levels you up 1 level at a time but it does work
I can confirm that it doesn't work anymore. There were some times where i stayed at the same level even after killing a zombie.
funny and stupid ;d All what to do is fly kick and when on floor, just punch him, faster method :)
Anyone playing in 2024🤨
I am I was playing while watching this video
Same here lol 😂
Yes
@@evanobrien7316 type shi
Yup
Legend has it ColossalKiwi still hearts comments to this day. Absolutely Legendary
men i didn't know this.. time to play dead islan back in 2019 😂
I literally booted up the game before i finished the video
It’s making a huge comeback lol
I bought the definitiv edition and its fixed 😂 i thaught i could easily comeback haha
@@MrxXxSWATxXx it doesn't work anymore?
@@frosty1631 nope sadly not...
I legit just found something that can make the start slightly faster. Once on the bed you can kick the zombies into the corner. They instantly die if they land a certain way between the nightstand and closet. With a little testing so far it seems to only work on the female zombies and the old man zombie in the hat.
Easy to understand, old man and female are fragile
If u get any zombie on the other side of the bed u can instantly kill any of them and if u get skilled up and get more health u can get all the zombies fast and slow and u can take them back to the elevator and they can boost u into the elevator if u not fast enough to jump in ur self and u can kick them down the hole in the elevator it is fun to do but it not as fast as letting the zombies go to the small side of the bed and lick them in-between the wall and the bed cause that instantly kills everything
Ahhh yes…the weak
7 years later and your content is still a major help🙌🏻
Thank you, I've beaten this game a few times but having this tip definitely made my last play thru much more enjoyable
Man I love how CZcams recommends videos based on things I've never watched before! But not gonna lie though props to you man I always enjoy seeing little things like this in any game, now if I ever play dead island I'll use this sometime! Thanks!
Technically it is the fastest way for riptide as well since if u have a lvl 60 character on dead island you can use transfer them over to riptide
This helped out so much. Thanks brother I appreciate you, hope you and your family are doing well during this pandemic.
i told my friends about this and when we started up we were all like level 25! i love this video thank you so much!!!
If you kill them on the bed in other side the infected will die with 1 hit. It only works with infected and not Walkers... I recently made a video on this.
After 2 years here u are still getting a view and like on this video.. Thanks for the upload man :)
Yo u got modded weapons on dead island?
You're an absolute legend man. I picked this game back up again in 2021 so I could achievement hunt it, and this will certainly help with that. Amazing video!
Me to
can you leave prologue maxed and do the campaign? do the starting zombies match your lvl or are they low lvls
@@Balmore1Search I'm pretty sure they match your level
@@brandongainer9434 so is this a giant waste if you spend an hour or 2 doing this only to exit the prologue and everything is as strong as they get?
Seems counter productive
Been playing 4 years but never knew if u jumped kick u could down them thanks alot dude. Using this for xp and duping for cash, love ya man
Ain’t no way you’re still hearting even in 2023!! You’re a legend man! Hahaha
Impressive. And 15 minutes of fast talk without drawing breath 😂👍👏
Thanks man. I actually kept playing other people's quest to Lv up fast. The O.P. weapons I got at lower Lv help out too.
June 2020, PS4 Definitive Edition, here to confirm that yes this still works..
The only thing I have noticed however is that OCCASIONALLY, not every time but some times, when you load the last checkpoint the infected won’t spawn. I don’t think it’s anything crazy but if you encounter it, just reload the checkpoint and check again.
Playing Dead Island Definitive Edition on PC and this strategy still works *(Thank YOU ColassalKiwi! YOU the MVP!!!).* Three things to note...
Sometimes, kind of rare, but still happens, *zombies will occasionally hop up on the bed with you.* Just make sure you immediately turn around once you're on the bed and be prepared to kick them off or kick them before they can get on.
*Any weapons looted will be lost once the prologue ends* but everything else you loot (like money and components will remain).
You don't necessarily start with that much of an advantage because *all zombies level as you do and that includes the first zombies you're actually supposed to fight.* So yeah... I hopped out full of myself to save Sinamoi and those zombies humbled me fairly quickly and the paddle was practically useless, Lol.
Thank you for this guide. It was awesome and thorough. Very well done.
Great video. Recently picked up both versions of dead island. Already started one charter but I might restart to do this. Badass video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much I wouldn't have got this far without you you deserve a sub
For those that this doesn't work for whatever reason. The room next to this has a door in the hall you can open. Just run their after getting the infected's attention open the door and close it fast. The infected will clip through so you can punch them ( You can kick and jump kick buy it's not reccomended unless your trying to get a single zombie clipping). When you punch them they fall and usually and arm or a leg even a foot is poking through and you can just beat on that until theyre dead. Sometimes they lose interest and go back. But sometimes they lose interest and just stay by the door. You can try opening the door and taking a small step out and closing it again if they're hanging around the door. They might clip through the door this time with how the door pushes them in. Even when you have the stomp it's a bit dangerous cause can be hard to jump kick em down in the hotel. Sam B obviously doesn't have to worry bout that once he has tackle or special attack at the end of his combat tree. I believe it's much faster than what the guy is doing in the video. Maybe not as safe if the pathing and invisible walls work as they should. But you do much more damage. Tho you don't get much fury unless you're purna who specced into kicks for fury (all kick skills affect stomps btw)
Amazing video, the fact that this still works after 6 years is incredible. After watching this video I had downloaded dead island again and got to level 20 in my first 30 minutes. I love your content so much bro and I thank you for showing everybody who watched this.
*7 years
The legend say that the mighty ColossalKiwi still heart reacts to this day
But on a serious note this is one of the best CZcamsrs I have ever seen he doesn’t make his Vids sound or look boring it had me hooked the entire time even though it was basically a tutorial
Thanks for this video! This still works for PS4.
I have a few tips that might be helpful.
(If you are trying to earn the door breach Trophy) Before going to the elevator, as the game starts after the first cutscene, there is a door at the beginning.
As others have mentioned about killing them in front of the curtains, I think the sweet spot is to jump over the bed and align right in front of the nightstand and all the zombies will rush the window side. They will die between the bed, or you kick the zombie on top or under the chair. Instant death. This is great for early rounds.
When gathering zombies the first time, all you have to do is wait for the doors to open so back up so you can have more time to focus on running to the door with the zombie. Go down to the other end of the hall the second time and wait until the infected zombies scream. If only one screams then only one runs. You can jump kick one until the others start running.
If you want even more points when using rage, gather all three infected zombies with the five in the middle, on the second half. More risky in early rounds. If you do it before running into the doorway, you won't get the additional three infected zombies that spawn at the end of the hall.
I've done this method and ranked up a character to level 33 in under 57 minutes.
2019 on Definitive edition: still works.
I'm surprised they didn't fix it but hey it helps get u to max lvl but the zombies will screw u over if u dont get max lvl weapons or weapons that will do high damage
I only got to lvl 8 tho
@@PlaguedYa me too
@@vengesama7713 I found out what you are supposed to do is, after you kill all the zombies, you go to the pause screen and press load last checkpoint, it brings back all the zombies and you keep lvls/ skill points
They can’t do anything to fix it; they’re already stronger than you, so I guess this is just if you want to. They didn’t expect new players to do this.
Thanks for this video, still works and really helpful.
Below is the one thing I did differently from the guide which I found to be quite nice and still useful for the gameplay after.
With Logan's "Furious Throw" (+30% Rage gain on Throwing Kills) we can get a full charge of the Rage Meter in a single "load last checkpoint". 1 Load to charge it, 1 Load to spend it. Makes for a smoother leveling progress. For me it was an easy choice to remove "Picklock" as I never had good outcomes from it before.
Never played this but popped up in recommended feed. Something good for a change.
Ive got some tall looking zombies all level 51... but when i read the comment that if u level to 60 when u actually start the game your weapons will be low level and you will be fighting lvl 60 zombies. So i assume the zombies level just as you do? I am using logan for the throwing objects and respawning the zombies automatically happens when i walk towards the opposite end (not where you finish the mission) but where the light hangs and come back and the lobby is full again... or ill reload last check point because everytime i level the game auto saves.
He does state to reload check point....
I remember watching this YEARS AND YEARS ago. Still play this on PS4.
How did you get your fury multiplier to x4 with just 4 kills?? I kill like 10 of them in that area and get to x3 only
Nice video. At first, I used to use the room next door. It look like it's locked (red) but I can open the door, close it and dispatch them when the bug-go half through the door. Then, the fun part starts. I lure one of the walkers to the room and then kick them down and start PUNCHING their arm. Once it breaks, it gives you exp and you do it over and over until it dies. It is way much faster this way as you profit each walker a LOT. :)
Love this guide!
Explained well and very useful tips given
2023 started back playing this game!😊
Man you rock! Awesome tip. Thanks mate, stay safe on the island. 😉
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR CONTENT IN FOREVER SUCH MEMORIES
Great vid man took me a while to get to 50 and I wasn't paying attention then ran pass the check point but I was content wit 50 I'm at 54 right now about to hit the prison
So I know this is some time later, but how did you get weapons in the prologue?
Still works in 2020! ;) Got the DE, never really played it because on the 360 I was max(and you can’t transfer characters) This has gotten me back into my love of Dead Island!
Hey man!!! Just been doing this glitch for the past 4hours I'm at lvl40 now, and thing have slowed down as we require more xp to upgrade the skills...i played this game like years ago and gave up bcoz it was so hard but now I feel very confident ,,,, no need to be scared anymore lolol. Also I turned off and on the xbox and loaded the game up and I still had all my stuff and it was at the same last check point too which is awesome. So happy it's working....thanks for the video and indept instructions.
So glad you can just save and come back to it the next,,,, bcoz this is taking long ... I'm at lvl45 now and most 90% is maxed out... just need to max the lock pick and weapon deterioration. But just thinking I'm gonna glitch the weapons so who cares about that. Predicting 2hours a day on maybe another few days and player will be maxed. Cant wait to play the story
3rd day in!!!! Probably spent 7hours in this so far I'm lvl50 now, with everything maxed besides 3 skills on survival , I think I'm gonna continue the game now,, I'm only getting 1112xp per kill it's taking way to long. Here goessss
Right I'm going for it getting to lvl51 is a myth!!!! Gonna look for a champagne bottle duplicate it and every bottle you give, you get 1000xp.. just need 800,000 bottle to get to lvl51....then 1million bottles to get to lvl52 !! Lolol
watch out for the infected or walkers that seem taller than normal. they can jump on the bed with you and cause some damage.
Really? They must have made changes to it in the recent patch. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for letting me know!
ColossalKiwi i did it though and stayed in the middles of the bed and didn't get hit once
That may be a reason, why these infected or walkers killed me first with both times, when I tried that.
It's either when they go to the end of the bed or one of other walkers boosts them up, that's the only way they can get up
It's simple why they can "climb" on the bed.. The collisions when 3-4 of them pile up or tbe infected sprint may cause them to climb on the nearby nightstand and send you straight to hell
Sam B and xian are my faves.
Commander Sheperd same
Commander Sheperd x2
HateSolstice127 Sam B is pretty badass though Xian as well they can take care of themselves
@HateSolstice127 Sam B says some random shit it is pretty funny when your walking around and he says one ugly muther fucker I dunno though that might just be my sense of humour
@HateSolstice127 Yea I think you're on your own with that one. Shame you're so pessimistic.
Definitely Gonna Have To Check This Out 👀 Thanks For The Video 🙏
this is crazy man its taken me like 2 playthrus to get to max level sometimes 3 ur a legend
You can do all this but then when you start the game you'll be stuck with 25 damage weapons against level 60 zombies, lmao.
Not for long. Weapons given as quest rewards and items sold in shops are at your level.
Besides, head-stomping them is always an option. I used to do that whenever I didn't want to waste the durability of a weapon.
That shit had me ending with a shit-ton of weapons that I never got to use beause I outleveled them and all.
Just kick them. The kick is very overpowered
This isn’t even remotely an issue. Save a rage once you’re ready to leave the prologue, and use it to kill all the zombies attacking Sinnamoi.
After that, just do the quest to find his ID badge in the cabin. Head right at the crossway that says Lifeguard and follow the staircase up. There’s a bar area and inside is a case with a leveled weapon.
In the pool with Ted B just outside Sinnamoi’s cabin, there is always a leveled diving knife.
Start the second quest for Sinnamoi and follow the path he tells you. Along the way, you’ll find several chests with leveled weapons. After saving the guy in the truck and heading to the water kiosk station, there’s another leveled diving knife.
You should have around 7-8 weapons your level by the time you reach the lifeguard station.
if you lure the zombies to the side with the window.... opposite the side you use in the vid, when you jump kick the zombie they die in one shot when they fall between the bed and the window. saves you a lot of time.
Tip: if you lure them to the narrow space between the bed and the wall behind you, they die as soon as they fall, basically in one hit as long as they fall in that space
Interesting video! Thank you for explaining that fury gives extra XP. I had no idea and this will help a lot!
"It is ColossalKiwi here" me doing the Leo dicaprio pointing meme "omg it's him!". Thanks for all your work dude! Techland should have a statue of you outside their headquarters lol.
Rumor says you still heart comments to this day
Well its true 😂
Secret Destroyer crazy
My sources point to yes
ColossalKiwi: I take out of the "Virals"
Me: what, this aint dying light
By far, the best easy leveling Ive seen. If you can lure infected on the other side of the bed, between the wall, they get caught up and fall, and then instantly die, effectively speeding up the entire process.
Wow might have found a new favorite channel. Liking this. Hooe it still works
Who else playing dead island in 2022 ?😍
I just started
Meeee
2023 here
Yes game of the Year 2024 Nostalgia game Dead Island is my favorite game keep playing boosting level ❤.
OGS still gaming it out
I found this out by accident on my first playthrough, because literally I didn't notice that there was a map on the bottom of the screen 😂😂😂
Just brought a 360, and both dead islands. Awesome game. Great video dude! Thanks💯🍻👍😎
4 years later and you still help me thank you
AHHH THERE'S ZOMBIES SPRINTING AFTER ME SCREAMING!
*hops on bed*
Phew I'm safe
That is the blanket mechanic. Nothing can get you under blankets. Don't know why they don't just make armor out of blankets...
That stomp sounds like Kyle Crane doing in (from dying light)
Do you think the most efficient way to level would be to get to level 30 via the prologue, then do the story for the xp from the missions? I was just curious because I am new to the series and I just tried this and I'm level 23 in about an hours worth of playing and while I don't mind doing it until i hit max level it is very boring and reptitive even while I'm listening to other things in the background, and if it is going to take roughly 15+ hours of doing this I was just wondering if I should invest most of that time into getting into the story
I've jus got this on PS4 and I did this method it DEFINITELY works I went from level 1-9 in 1hour. Brilliant
It took you an hour?! You should be able to get from 1 to 9 in 15 minutes
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
CZcams recommendeds:
yeaaaaa wtf CZcams?
YT works as intended.
I'm confused too. This is a fairly old and irrelevant video. I wish CZcams did this with my latest vids.
Best way I found to get to level 60 is first yh follow this step get about to level 30 if you like. But if you get the mind-blowing military knife (one of the skull weapons) and use it at the end of the campaign, when you have to kill Ryder White, he dies in one hit. He gives you 17,000 xp and you simply load from last checkpoint and run and stab him again, another 17,000 xp. Just repeat I got from 40 to 60 in about half an hour
Shiva Gupta Waiting until the end of the campaign doesn't sound like a very *fast* way to level up.
Wynter Foxx I get that it's more about trying to get to level 40 to 60 after completing campaign. It's a fast process
Shiva Gupta Can you tell the color of the skull pls
I played all day to get to the boss fight and then I forgot to load from last checkpoint after beating him... WASTE OF TIME
Rasmus Nielsen Lol.
does this all work on the ps3 version too? also... ive just got the normal game.. should i get the edition with riptide included even though i have the original game already or should i get just the riptide addon? whats the advantage or difference between all on one dic or having two separate ones? if its the same thing id rather pay less money 7 just get riptide.. but... dunno if it has extra stuff on the all in one edition?
I accidently pressed space on cutscene after accidently going onto where the running starts can I pull back onto a past save or is their other xp methods for this part?
CZcams algorithm has blessed you
I absolutely love dead island I used to play this game when I was just a 12 year old back in the 360 days I stayed up all night this one time and when the sun came up I knew I f’d up because that was a school night ahhh the good old days
What a legend
just came back to this game 7 years later
I can't find the video, like this one, on leveling up while in game (after the prologue). Could you please help?
The knife throwing zombies are absolutely infuriating. They flop their arm like a wet noodle and the knife just flies strait into your neck and insta kills you. It's like if you're that skilled with a knife how did you end up as a zombie in the first place? Lol strait up ninja assassin skill level.

2021 and still works. Thanks for the tip and awesome video. I love this game.
when I jump kick it won't knock down the infected
JRWIZ Ruiz same when I tried it I didnt knock em down either
Face kick
Then your not timing it right
Well... your fucked
I know i'm late as fuck but in the original on X360/PS3 Jump Kicks don't knock them down.
Very clear instructions, ty my friend!
Dude this is awesome, I came to see someone explore the hallway down the infected corridor cuz I thought there would be easter eggs. Maybe make a video doing that?
I knew this before the definitive edition lol
My ps3 with dead island finaly died when I tryed to play skyrim so my 3750 hrs of skyrim are gone and my dead island maxed out Logan so I will be doing this whith the xbox
I forgot how to do it i came back to re fresh and i have a lvl40 Sam b and a Logan that I'm gonna do it with
Ok so did ya ever make the video for leveling existing characters? If so I cant seem to find it.
Oh God... I just realised that Sam B is a pun
How did it take me this long to realise?

B = Bie

what do I do when I kill all the zombies? the hotel is empty
Load last checkpoint

It worked for me! Thank you very much for this. I reached lvl 43 in 2h48m in normal mode, not one punch mode, at PC, definitive edition. It gets really boring, but the reward is awesome. I admit I died once, but other than that, great great "hack".
Why does my game need to complete all 3 skills first then you can unlock the bottom ones. It doesn’t let me upgrade one bottom one when only 1 is upgraded from the 3
hi can you explain please i've tried this but all the zombies are at my level ;27; from the beginning any i idea why cuz i thought that my level should be higher than them i have GOTY not the def
5:03 idk why i find this funny
Stilll playing in 2022
It still works in 2022! Thanx for this great tip!
How do you have your skill tree like that? I have to fill up each skill in a row before I can go onto the next row
