You'll become aware of the Dead Island 2 GOAT Pen Master keys early in the story, when you explore the Bel-Air mansion belonging to a group of influencers and streamers. The locked doors they open are right by the main entrance, and if you look though them then you'll see a blueprint and other items sat tantalisingly on the other side. When you first arrive at this location in Dead Island 2 you enter the building by dropping down through a skylight, which provides a subtle clue for the lateral approach you need to take here. Unlike other Dead Island 2 keys you'll encounter, these aren't found unattended or dropped by a named zombie you slay, so to get inside that master bedroom you need to follow this method to collect the GOAT Pen Master keys in Dead Island 2.

To find the GOAT Pen Master keys in Dead Island 2, you have to use some lateral thinking to solve the problem at hand. If you've read our Dead Island 2 tips then you'll know that some locked areas can be access be smashing through glass windows, and that's exactly the approach you need to take here.

There are a couple of things you need to watch out for when you drop down to this balcony, with the first being that it's covered in fuel, so be aware that if you're using a firey weapon or have other elemental bonuses in effect then the whole thing could easily burst into flames. Secondly, there's an alarm that's triggered as soon as either of the glass windows on the balcony breaks, so 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 in hand, you can 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.
