The Peggy Rifle is one of the most potent weapons available to players early in Dead Island 2, but it is buried behind a side quest that is easy to overlook. Curtis Sinclair is one of the first NPCs you encounter in the game, and after completing The Red Mist quest, you can head to Bel-Air to unlock a new side quest called Creature Comfort.
One would wonder that such a valuable weapon would warrant a really fancy treasure, but Curtis’ treasure is his alcohol. Head to Emma’s Mansion and speak to Curtis to start the quest.
Beginning at Creature Comforts
After speaking with Curtis, you’ll receive two objectives right away. Colt Swanson’s house will be the first place we look. GOAT Pen will come in second.
Curtis desires premium whisky. Look into Colt Swanson’s house.
Jump over the fence and proceed straight across the street and up the stairs as soon as you’ve finished conversing with Curtis and have left the house. You will eventually reach Colt’s front door. It is located in the north of the map, in the same house where you initially arrived in Bel-Air at the beginning of the game.
In Colt’s house, smell the 18-year-old Ardkillin whisky.
The whisky must be located within the residence. Take the ‘Ardkillin Delivery’ letter from the counter in front of you.
The dining room is right close to the wine cellar. Enter and take the ‘Last Call’ note out of the barrel.
Search in the guest bedroom since that’s where the whisky was kept.
From the dining room/cellar, turn around and proceed to the right, up the stairs, and all the way around to the right, where you must defeat some zombies before returning to the house.
As you enter, take care to avoid the prepared shotgun traps by moving carefully.
Gather the ‘Hell or High Water’ note from the bedroom, then move on to the next goal.
The safe contains the whisky. Find Cindy’s safe key in the showcase room and take it.
Exit the bedroom through the locked door on your right, then descend to the lower level to the room with the display cases. “Colt’s Gal Cindy” will have emerged as a screamer in this location. Take her down and take her safe key.
Break the bedroom safe code to obtain the Ardkillin bourbon.
Return to the bedroom, where the safe is located, and the message that said “Hell or High Water.” Gather the whisky from the safe when you’ve cracked it open.
Vintage wine is what Curtis wants. Investigate the “GOAT Pen”
Following the objective marker across the tennis court, down the steps, straight across the street and through the gateway, you will ultimately arrive at the GOAT Pen mansion from the safe you just took the whisky out of. On the map, it is the last house to the south.
Step inside the mansion and descend the stairs. There are several ways to descend to the ground floor, so take the stairs or the balcony to do it. When you get downstairs, you’ll be in a lounge area and need to get into the wine room.

Enter the wine room at the “GOAT Pen”
The GOAT Pen Master Keys are required to obtain entry. Turn around and go to the right, enter a tiny photo studio, go down the stairs to the pub, go left to the bowling alley and kill the zombie holding the keys on the bowling lane. Return upstairs to the wine room after gathering the keys. Enter by using the key.
For Curtis, choose a bottle of “Maison Sang-Vivant” wine.
The wine is located in the bottom left wine rack on the back wall. Curtis will radio in after you have been gathered and ask you to locate some cigars.
GOAT Pen zombies in a rage? Clean them up!
A Screamer zombie will draw other zombies to the area where you are right now. Once all of them have been eliminated, proceed to the next step in the task.
Take cigars out of the “GOAT Pen” master bedroom.
If you previously visited this mansion in the game, you were unable to use the keys to enter the master bedroom. Instead, climb the stairs in front of you. Be sure to take the weighted perk blueprint off the table as soon as you enter. Kill the zombies in this area, and be warned that a Crusher zombie will also enter. After dealing with him, take the cigars out of the wall cabinet in the dressing room.
Deliver the expensive items Curtis ordered.
Return to Curtis where the quest began and present your findings there.
The Creature Comforts Side Quest in Dead Island 2 is now complete.
