With this guide, you’ll master the “Power Gambit” quest in Dying Light: The Beast, restore the power plant, and survive zombies, puzzles, and the flooded turbine room.
In the “Powered Up” quest from Dying Light: The Beast, you’ll head into an old power plant that’s not only overrun with zombies but also filled with tricky climbing passages, flooded turbine chambers, and broken machinery. To reach your goal, you’ll need to find entrances, drain water, close valves, and repair the pump. Our step-by-step guide shows you how to safely make it through, restore power, and complete the mission successfully.
How to Enter the Power Plant
The power plant yard is packed with zombies, and the only way in is a small window high up on the wall. You can’t reach it via the annex or the ledges. The solution? Beast Mode. Fill the meter by fighting the undead workers, then use Kyle’s beast abilities to leap straight up through the window.
Reaching the Window in the Annex
The plant supervisor will send you to the annex building. Again, you’ll need to climb into a window that looks unreachable at first. Most pipes are covered, preventing Kyle from grabbing them – except one. On the left side of the water basin, you’ll find a pipe you can climb. Keep going across windows and a vent until you reach the window.
Pick the lock on the door and crawl left through the vent. Heads up: prepare for a fight. You’ll drop into an office full of zombies. Leave through the double doors – which also require a lockpick. Use the staircase in the hallway to reach the turbine room, also swarming with the undead.
Flooded Turbine Room: Draining the Water
At the bottom, you’ll find a hatch leading into the submerged section. To drain the water, you’ll first need to seal two pipes underwater. Remember your way back so you can resurface for air. You can also breathe at the ceiling of the flooded chamber – just follow the faint red lights.
- First valve: Dive through Gate A to the north, then turn right immediately.
- Second valve: Again, swim north through Gate A, but this time continue straight ahead. Stick to the left and you’ll spot a small air vent just big enough to squeeze through. Behind it lies the second valve.
Finding and Repairing the Pump
Return to the dry section of the turbine room and go through the door labeled “Control Room.” Keep left and you’ll find the pump (after cutting down a few more zombies). Of course, it’s not working. Head back and take the stairs up to the “Backup Generator.” Switch it on and grab the cable from its holder.
Also worth reading:
To make the short cable reach the pump, you’ll need a shortcut: push the cabinet behind you aside to reveal a vent. Open the gate first, then connect the cable to the pump and power it on. The water drains away, giving you access to the turbine in the once-flooded chamber. Naturally, you’ll need to deal with a few angry foes first.
Repairing the Intake
Climb through the vent opposite into the storage room and grab the valve key from the shelf. Then head back into the previously flooded areas 1C and 2C and crank open the red pipes. Now activate the turbine and meet up with Lago. After your conversation, restore the power, clear out the plant, and return to City Hall to finish the “Powered Up” quest.
