Dying Light: The Beast Secret Weapons and Enhancements Locations Guide

Castor Woods holds more than just infected horrors—it's packed with legendary weapons waiting for brave survivors to claim them.

The Goose alone deals 203 blunt damage with a massive +250% parkour attack bonus, turning your wall-running skills into devastating strikes. But that's just the beginning of what's hidden in this infected wilderness.

Finding The Goose Location

Head to Old Town and locate the Hipocrates cafe. Directly across from this landmark, you'll spot a descending ramp leading to an underground basement. This isn't marked on your map, so keep your eyes peeled for the subtle entrance.

warning

Bring multiple lockpicks! The basement door requires an easy-level lock, but you don't want to get stuck outside with infected breathing down your neck.

The basement contains a few infected, including one particularly sneaky zombie playing dead near the workbench. Clear them out before approaching The Goose, which sits prominently on the bench waiting for a worthy wielder.

Advanced Secret Weapon Hunting Strategies

Essential Preparation

Before venturing into secret weapon territory, stock up on these crucial supplies:

White paint markings on climbable surfaces
Unusual architectural features like hidden ramps
Isolated buildings away from main quest areas
Underground entrances near recognizable landmarks

Mod Categories

Elemental Mods - Add freeze, poison, or fire damage

Maintenance and Longevity

Secret weapons lose durability through combat, but you can repair them using Scrap and other resources. However, each weapon has limited repair attempts, so use them strategically.

Smart Usage Tips

Save secret weapons for tough encounters like Chimeras and Volatile chases
Use standard weapons for routine infected clearing
Dismantle damaged weapons for Scrap when repair limits are reached

Beyond The Goose: Other Hidden Treasures

While The Goose represents an excellent starting point, Castor Woods contains numerous other secret weapons waiting for discovery. Each requires different approaches—some need puzzle-solving, others demand specific interaction sequences, and a few hide behind elaborate Easter egg references.

tip

Exploration during daylight hours makes secret weapon hunting much safer, allowing you to focus on navigation rather than survival.

The key to successful secret weapon hunting lies in thorough exploration and patience. Unlike marked locations or quest rewards, these weapons reward players who venture off the beaten path and investigate every suspicious corner of the infected wilderness.

Remember, in Dying Light: The Beast, you're not just surviving—you're building an arsenal worthy of Kyle Crane's legendary status. Each secret weapon you discover brings you one step closer to dominating the horrors that lurk in Castor Woods.
