You'll want to find the Dead Island 2 GOAT Pen Master keys when you first explore the Bel-Air mansion belonging to a group of influencers and streamers. The locked doors are hard to miss by the main entrance, and if you look though them then you'll see a blueprint and other useful items on the other side. When you first arrive here in Dead Island 2 it's via dropping through a skylight, which provides a clue for the approach you'll need to take later. Unlike other Dead Island 2 keys, what you need here isn't found lying around or dropped by a named zombie when you kill them. To get inside you need to follow a different method.

To find the GOAT Pen Master keys in Dead Island 2, you have to use some lateral thinking - if you've read our Dead Island 2 tips then you'll know that some locked areas can simply be access be smashing through glass windows, and that's exactly what you need to do here. If you go to the roof terrace of the GOAT Pen and head to the area marked on the map, you'll find this balcony you can drop down to from above:

There are a couple of things to watch out for before you drop down: the first being that it's covered in fuel, so be aware that if you're using a fiery weapon or have other elemental bonuses, as the whole thing could easily burst into flames. Secondly, there's an alarm triggered as soon as either of the glass windows on the balcony breaks, so find and knock that off the wall ASAP to avoid being swarmed by every zombie in the area.

If the windows haven't already been broken dealing with the zombies on the balcony, then you can smash your way through them to access the master bedroom from outside. Check the bedside unit in this first room you enter, and the Dead Island 2 GOAT Pen Master keys will be sat there for you to collect. With them you can now unlock the doors connecting the master bedroom to the rest of the GOAT Pen and move freely between the areas – make sure you grab the blueprint, journal, plus various parts and cash scattered around the rooms before you head out of there. You should also make note of the pool location here, as you'll need to come back to it during the Dead Island 2 Clean and Snatch Lost & Found quest to find and slay a named zombie.
