However, make I recommend you complete the main story mission quests before you move on to side quests in Dead Island 2. I was able to locate Francesca in Beverly Hills.

  • This quest is a pretty important one if you are looking to get the completionist title and finish the main story of Dead Island 2.
  • Francesca is one of the artists that you will get to meet when exploring Dead Island 2, and she uses her weird art as a coping mechanism to survive the apocalypse.
  • Other questions that you will be required to complete in the body arts quest will be Body Art: Heft, Body Art: Moist, Body Art: Uproar, Body Art: Mutated Hearts, and Body Art: Vigour.
  • This side quest is easy to complete and won’t require much time. To complete the quest, you simply need to kill zombies and collect the flesh as drops to give to Francesca. 
  • However, keep in mind that these drops will be RNG based, and collecting them can be quite hard. 
  • You will have to collect 10 infected flesh pieces and talk to Francesca as she completes her art piece.

Therefore you will have to kill a lot of them before you will be able to collect all the items you need to complete the quest. 

  • Hydration Walkers 
  • Medical Centers 
  • Riot Gear Walkers 
  • Bursters 
  • Walkers 
  • Shamblers 
  • Burning Walkers 
  • Firefighter Walkers 
  • Hazmat Walkers 
  • Grenadier Walkers 
  • Incendiary Walkers 
  • Spiky Walkers 
  • Swarm Walkers 
  • Shocking Walkers 

You will be able to collect the infected flesh easily by using any sharp weapon, especially a maiming weapon like an axe or even a shotgun. Make sure to hit the limbs and collect the flesh. Don’t use weapons that will smash the zombies into pieces otherwise, you won’t be able to collect a good piece of infected flesh for Francesca to use. 

Where To Find The Flesh 

Players be able to find the infected flesh in different places. 

If not approached with the right strategy, it might take a long time for you to complete this quest line. Therefore make sure to check the locations of each zombie I have mentioned above and see where they are typically found to collect the infected flesh easily.

From Zombies

Also, keep in mind that while you are collecting the infected flesh from different zombie types or looking for the flesh in a Medical Center, it might not always give you Infected flesh as it is a random drop in Dead Island 2.

It is better to continue with other quests while you complete Francesca’s requirements and aim for lower-level zombies. You would be able to collect most of the infected flesh by exploring the LA and killing the zombie variants I have mentioned above.

  • After a few quests, you will be able to collect infected flesh from zombies like walkers and shamblers easily. Don’t forget to loot the dead bodies whenever you can while exploring the area, and keep a lookout for different zombie types.
  • This will save you a lot of time as you will not have to specifically look for the infected flesh to complete Francesca’s quest.
  • If you come across zombie types like shamblers and bursters, make sure to use maiming weapons instead of heavy weapons otherwise, you will just kill them off without being able to collect their flesh for Dead Island 2 Francesca.
  • There are more chances of you getting the infected flesh from higher-level zombies as compared to lower-level ones. Keep progressing and killing the zombies until you have 10 infected flesh. 
  • As soon as you take out the zombie-infected flesh, it can be obtained as a drop.
  • In order to add it to your counter, you will have to interact with it and pick it up. Keep this in your inventory and go back to Francesca. After that, you just need to give it to her, and you will be able to complete the quest easily. 

From The Medical Centres 

I was also able to obtain the infected flesh from different medical centers for Francesca Dead Island 2. This is a far easier way in my opinion. However, it requires much more exploration. 

  • These infected flesh pieces can be found scattered around the floor.
  • You just need to pick them up and add them to your inventory.
  • The pieces are most likely the result of zombie experimentations and medical trials, which resulted in these pieces being thrown everywhere in the labs.
