This emotional mission tests both your survival skills and loyalty. Here’s how to find Boozer, track him through the wilderness, survive Freaker ambushes, and bring him back from the edge.

Tips for Success

• Stealth is Key: Use suppressed weapons to avoid attracting large hordes.
• Stay Mobile: Keep your bike nearby for quick travel between clues.
• Prioritize Screamers: Kill them instantly to prevent endless enemy spawns.

Starting the Quest: Iron Mike’s Farm

1. Initiate the Quest: Begin at Iron Mike’s camp, then head north to an abandoned farm marked on your map.
2. First Clue: Enter the farmhouse and find an empty bottle beside the living room couch.

What Happens Next:

1. Follow the Dirt Road: Head to the bridge near the farm.
2. Second Clue: Inspect the bottle on the bridge to see Boozer stagger toward another farm.

Clue 3: Barn Bottle

1. Enter the Barn: At the new farm, check the left side of the barn for another bottle.
2. Result: Boozer lurches into a nearby house. Follow him inside.

Combat Tip: Clear any Freakers lurking in the barn before investigating.

Clue 4: Bedroom Bottle

1. Go Upstairs: Find the bottle on a bed in the farmhouse’s upper floor.
2. Next Objective: Ride your bike toward O’Leary’s Safehouse via the main road.

Clues 5 & 6: Final Bottles on the Road
