The initial story expansion DLC for Dead Island 2, titled "Haus," comes out of the gate with a stronger impact compared to the main game. Right from the beginning, it becomes evident that the puzzles in the DLC are more challenging than those found in the base game.
Upon encountering a new character, you'll be entrusted with an initiation mission that tasks you with uncovering two rites of passage within the vicinity containing the four houses.
If you encounter any challenges while attempting to locate and solve these rites of passage, we have put together a step-by-step guide that will assist you in navigating through the intricate mission successfully.
How to locate and solve rites of passage
Upon entering the area containing the four houses, you'll immediately observe numerous warning signs saying that you should keep off the grass. It's crucial to take these warnings seriously because walking on the grass will provoke aggressive zombie attacks. Staying on the sidewalk is a much safer option, at least until you reach the first house.
Proceed to the right-side house and eliminate the zombies inside. Exercise caution during this initial wave, as it includes two butchers and one mutator capable of dispatching you swiftly. Once you've cleared the ground floor, climb the stairs to the second floor. Inside the storage room on the right, on the top shelf, you'll find a valve wheel essential for resolving the first rite of passage located on the third floor. Install the valve wheel and part ways with one of your less-favored weapons to fulfil the requirement.
Exit the house and proceed to the second left-side house, where you should follow the same routine of clearing out the zombies inside. On the third floor of this house, you'll come across a power cable with a damaged connection. To address this issue, pick up the water canister located on the left side of the room (if you've already used it during the earlier zombie encounter, don't worry; there's another canister in front of the first left-side house).
Use the canister to reestablish contact with the water. Subsequently, head down to the basement area, where you'll observe that the cable above the pool is now electrified. Enter the pool and make physical contact with the water, which may reduce your health but will also unlock the door leading to the next rite of passage.
Following this passage, you will arrive at the final house located atop the hill, where the second rite of passage awaits. Once you've eliminated the zombies inside the house, proceed to the third floor and engage with the microphone twice. Upon doing so, you will be rewarded with the "Whatever It Takes" trophy/achievement, signifying the successful completion of the mission.
