The Last Wish side quest in Dying Light: The Beast is one of the most emotionally resonant missions in the game, blending exploration, environmental puzzles, and heartfelt storytelling. It tasks players with fulfilling the dying request of Iris, an elderly woman living in exile — but completing it requires tracking down her husband’s grave and unlocking several safes spread across Old Town. Here’s a full walkthrough covering Iris’ husband’s grave location and every safe code you’ll need.
How to Start the “Last Wish” Side Quest
You can unlock the Last Wish quest after completing the main mission “Some Like It Dark.” Once done, head to the Exiles’ Cave safe zone, where you’ll meet Amelia, a caretaker tending to Iris. Talk to Amelia (marked by an exclamation symbol) to begin the quest.
Amelia explains Iris’s final wish — to visit her late husband’s grave and retrieve a music box he once owned. This sets you off on a journey across two regions: the farmland around the Exiles’ Cave and the darker, zombie-infested streets of Old Town.
Finding Iris’ Husband’s Grave
Once the quest begins, your first objective is to locate Henry’s grave, Iris’ late husband. Here’s how to find it quickly:
- Travel southeast of the Exiles’ Cave, following the quest marker to Iris and Henry’s old farmhouse.
- You’ll know you’re close when you spot a basketball hoop outside the house.
- From the hoop, turn left into the backyard garden.
- Look for a tree with bright orange or golden leaves — beneath it lies a small plaque marking Henry’s grave.
- Approach it and place the flower to complete the first quest objective.
Tip: You don’t need to clear every biter (zombie) in the area; just create a brief opening to interact with the plaque safely.
Entering Iris’ House
With the grave visited, return to the front of the house. To get inside:
- Head right from the basketball hoop and climb the ladder leading to the roof.
- Break the wooden planks on the boarded-up window to enter through the upstairs bathroom.
- From there, explore the upstairs bedroom and interact with the locked safe to progress the quest.
You’ll also find Iris’ note in the lounge and a key on a downstairs table that opens the front door for an easier exit later.
Getting Iris’ Safe Code from Henry’s Shop (Nate Market)
After inspecting the safe, Amelia will tell you that the code might be inside Henry’s old store, known as Nate Market, located in Old Town.
- Head to Old Town and locate Nate Market (marked by your quest tracker).
- Enter through the small crawlspace at the front to avoid breaking down the main door.
- Clear the area of zombies quietly if possible.
- Behind the counter, there’s a locked door — pick it open using a lockpick.
- Inside, on the table to the right, you’ll find a notebook containing the safe code.
Iris’ Safe Code: 20-07-06.
Before leaving, loot the basement vault nearby for valuable items — it’s a good Dark Zone for repeat scavenging later.
The Missing Safe Twist
When you return to Iris’s house, you’ll notice something’s wrong — the safe is gone.
Use your Survivor’s Sense to detect footprints leading away from the house. Follow the trail east until you reach a warehouse or barn-like structure.
- The front door is locked, so circle to the back and climb through a broken window.
- Inside, you’ll encounter armed thieves — eliminate them before exploring further.
- You’ll see three safes inside. Iris’ safe is on the left, placed in front of the tool wall on a wooden table.
All Last Wish Safe Codes and Rewards
Here are all the safe codes and what you’ll get from each one:
| Safe Location | Combination Code | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Iris’ Locked Safe (left, front of tool wall) | 20-07-06 | Iris’ Music Box (Quest Item) |
| Last Wish Locked Safe 1 (right side) | 11-17-08 | Jewelry (Rare Valuable) |
| Last Wish Locked Safe 2 (corner near car) | 71-61-45 | Extra loot and valuables |
Once you collect the music box, return to Amelia at the Exiles’ Cave safe zone to complete the quest. You’ll receive 2 Service Manuals and a large XP reward for your efforts.
