Once we defeated the Target Practice zombie in the northwestern part of the district, we used the key which we obtained in Nikki Gutte’s mansion. This is the same mansion that we broke into during the main story, where we also fought Nikki Gutte, a screamer for the first time.

Tips For Defeating Nikki Gutte In Dead Island 2

In Dead Island 2, bosses like Nikki Gutte serve as a way to introduce players to different types of infected. Nikki Gutte is a thin and fierce creature with the ability to emit screams that can render her prey immobile.

Stay behind Nikki as much as possible to avoid the effects of her sonic waves for a split second longer.
Remember that her screams attract other zombies into the area, so focus on killing her first to avoid getting overwhelmed.
Nikki only has swipes with her arms, so there are no other unique moves to watch out for.
When Nikki screams, her movement speed is significantly reduced. Hold the block button to partially alleviate this and move towards Nikki to attack her once you’re close enough to eventually disrupt her scream.
Even if you get caught in one of the opening waves, use a charged attack or a weapon throw to cut off one of Nikki’s screams.
It is essential to remain mobile, which will help you avoid Nikki and her screams and keep other zombies from overwhelming you.

Summary

In Dead Island 2, defeating Nikki Gutte gives access to her mansion in the Beverly Hill Region.
