Spin the wheel!

We have saved Michael and convinced the nervous and downtrodden personal assistant to return to Emma. That is not the end of the line for us. Fast Travel still is not a thing, so we have to hoof it the long way back to Emma’s house. To do that, we are going to need to do some puzzles. Here is how to equalize the pressure in Justifiable Zombicide in Dead Island 2.

How to Equalize the Pressure in Justifiable Zombicide in Dead Island 2

So, we have got a bit of a valve puzzle in front of us. Which we will need to tackle if we want to find Phil, get the gate keys, get some guns, and eventually return to Emma Jaunt’s house.

The puzzle is this. There are two tanks, and you need to spin the valves that match it.

The tank on the left has 20, which means you will need to spin the valve with a 20 over it. Fortunately, it is right in front of us. Spin that valve, and the left tank will be pressurized. The right tank, however, says 70.

Lucky for us, we do not have to go too far to find the next valve. Unlucky for us, to get it, we are going to have to get our toes electrocuted.

Look right of the tanks, and you will see a small room enclosed with mesh fencing. It will either have a stream of caustic filth pouring down from the ceiling, blocking the entrance, or the ground will be electrified. Either way, it is possible to edge your way along the area of danger, which you will need to do to reach the second valve, which reads 50.

Spin this valve, and you will hit pressure number 70. This will rebalance the second tank, and now you will be able to get into the locked room at the other end of the hallway.

But be careful. Phil’s still there.
