You can start the Dead Island 2 Clean and Snatch quest early on, as the note for this Lost & Found task is in the pool area at Roxanne's house. It's an immediate attention-grabber as there's a new Dead Island 2 weapon in the form of a stolen sword on offer, but to get that locked case open you'll need to follow clues to find Dead Island 2 keys held by Obi, the pool cleaner. This can quickly get confusing as you'll need to make your way around to various different pools, and more than one zone in Hell-A. So here's a complete walkthrough for the Clean and Snatch quest in Dead Island 2 to help you get everything you need.

There are four clues you need to find to reach the next Clean and Snatch stage in this Dead Island 2 Lost & Found quest, including the initial note you find in the pool at Roxanne's house to start things off. If you haven't done so already, you can make the water there safe to enter by smashing the electric panel on the north side of the pool. The map above shows where to find all of the clues you need, which are broken down as follows:

  1. A Parting Gift: On top of Obi's Things crate in the pool at Roxanne's house
  2. Dave's Phone: On a sun lounger north of the pool at Farouk's house
  3. Note For Michael: On top of a toolbox in the pool at Michael's house
  4. Obi's Phone: At the end of the crescent-shaped pool full of Caustic-X

Once you find the fourth clue, you'll then need to determine which pool belongs to Obi's crush. If you read through the clues, you'll see references to a unicorn rubber ring being paired up with a pizza floatie, as well as pranks and a live stream. Put all of those together and you should realise the answer is the pool at the GOAT Pen, which means you'll need to travel from Beverly Hills to Bel-Air for the next part of this quest...

To get Obi's key in Dead Island 2, you need to travel to Bel-Air and then make your way to the GOAT Pen on the south side of the map. In the rear area of the streamers' mansion the quest objective will change to "Pool inspection!" and if you look into the pool then you'll see a named zombie called Obi the Pool Guy.

Take down Obi the Pool Guy and he'll drop Obi's key, which you'll need to complete the final step of this Lost & Found quest. While you're in this area you can also pick up the Dead Island 2 GOAT Pen Master keys if you don't have them already, to save yourself a bit of hassle later on.

With Obi's key in hand, your last objective states "You wouldn't steal a stolen sword! Would you?" – a reference to the much-parodied anti-copyright infringement campaign from 2004. To collect your reward you need to return to Roxanne's house in Beverly Hills, which you can teleport directly to using Dead Island 2 fast travel if you're near any of the maps, and if you need a reference point then it's marked with a 1 on the Pool map above. Open the Obi's Things chest in the pool at Roxanne's house to complete the Clean and Snatch quest, and add an Electrocutor Officer's Sword to your zombie-slaying inventory.
