Dying Light: The Beast Safe Haven is the first official quest you’ll encounter after escaping The Baron’s research facility.

In this quest, you’ll travel to the Monastery, meet Olivia, and face off against your first Chimera boss, the Reaper.
This Dying Light: The Beast walkthrough will cover every step of the Safe Haven mission, including reaching the Monastery, clearing infected, battling the Reaper, and unlocking your first Beast skill.

Reaching the Monastery
You’ll start the quest in Castor Woods, a haunting forest in the Western Alps. Follow the path downhill until you find a scenic overlook with zombies feeding on corpses. Defeat them (optional) and pick up the weapon nearby.
From here, head right into a rocky passage and cross the bridge near a waterfall. A short tutorial will teach you how to jump and grab ledges using tree branches. After crossing, continue forward until you reach a metal gate. Climb the wall on the left to finally arrive at the Monastery entrance.
Clearing the Monastery Courtyard
The entrance is swarming with zombies. Use firecrackers to lure them away and attempt the main door, only to find it locked. Climb the wall to the right and reach a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Jump down and secure the safe zone by eliminating the infected.
Next, head into the generator room, shut the door, and start the generator to restore power. Fight through a few more zombies as you climb the stairs to the top. Once there, kick a zombie off the ledge and flip the power switch to activate the safe haven.
Meeting Olivia
Inside, you’ll finally meet Olivia, the mysterious voice guiding you over the radio. She introduces you to GSB (Genetic Strength Booster), a substance found in the blood of Chimeras. To progress, you’ll need to battle one of these terrifying creatures.
How to Beat the Reaper in Dying Light: The Beast
Your first Chimera encounter is against The Reaper, a monstrous boss with a deadly bone blade for an arm.
- Watch his charge attack: The Reaper will rush at you aggressively. Dodge sideways to avoid damage.
- Use the environment: If he charges into a wall or pillar, he gets stuck—use this window to deal massive damage.
- Manage stamina: Always save enough stamina for dodging. Running out leaves you vulnerable to his relentless attacks.
- Activate Beast Mode: Once your Beast meter is full, unleash it up close to shred large portions of his health bar.
After defeating the Reaper, a cutscene plays where Olivia extracts his GSB and injects it into Kyle, saving his life.
Unlocking Your First Beast Skill
Kyle wakes up days later after a nightmare sequence, nearly harming Olivia in his sleep. This unlocks the Skills Tab, where you’ll gain access to your first Beast ability.
Head to the crafting table behind Olivia, collect supplies, and upgrade your Bandage blueprint. Once done, talk to Olivia again to complete the Safe Haven quest.
The Safe Haven quest in Dying Light: The Beast sets the stage for the entire game. You’ll learn key mechanics, secure your first safe zone, and face off against the terrifying Reaper. With Olivia’s help and your first Beast Skill unlocked, you’re now ready for the brutal journey ahead.
