Finding the location of missing people like Pablo is a great way to help your fellow survivors in Dead Island 2. “Missing: Pablo” is one of the many Lost and Found side quests you can take on. It isn’t an easy quest since you will work with minimal details and no waypoints. So, we’re here to help guide you through this Dead Island 2 quest so you can solve the mystery of the missing Pablo.
Dead Island 2 Missing: Pablo Location
The only way to get “Missing: Pablo” is to first advance the story far enough and solve a few missing people cases. You grab them from the Sterling Hotel on Ocean Avenue. Once you do a few of them, you will clear the board so they can add new papers. One of those papers is for Pablo. Now that you have the quest, we can begin our journey for the missing Pablo in Dead Island 2.
Once it is active, head to the fast travel map in the Sterling Hotel to travel to Venice Beach – Blue Crab Grill. When you arrive, your quest shows the following information:
- Which Venice store did Pablo go to for insulin needles?
- Which Venice store did Pablo go to for protein powder?
We will separate both parts as they will take you to two different areas on Venice Beach. Which order you visit the places has no bearing on the quest as you must find both to continue the “Missing: Pablo” in Dead Island 2.
Missing: Pablo – Insulin Needles
If you exit the Blue Crab Grill and jump the fence, veer to the right and head straight down the street. On the right side is Roses Tattoo. The “Missing: Pablo” Dead Island 2 quest is updated with the following information about his location:
- Check the Roses Tattoo parlor for signs of Pablo, a kid in a Bobcats jersey.
Press the button to raise the gate and search Roses Tattoo. Behind the main counter, look for the toaster on a smaller countertop. Next to it is Journal: Need for Needles. When you grab it, you can move on to the next part.
