Dead Island 2 – Fool’s Gold
Before you begin, do make sure that you’ve successfully completed the story. It’s not mandatory to do since the quest is available just before the end of the story but just to be sure you can consider completing the story first.
Starting

To begin, make your way to The Pier (Santa Monica) where you basically have to locate Dante. For that head to The Pier lifeguard headquarters where the very first travel map is and right next to a yellow car is where you will be able to locate Dante.

Now consider defeating Dante which won’t be that hard, he will now drop a journal named “A Totally Legit Letter” Loot it and you’re quest will now begin.
Ransack’s Randy Locker

After successfully getting the journal from Dante, there are 3 more journals that we still have to find to unlock the safe. The second journal can be found in Randy’s locker which is located inside the room next to where you just killed Dante.
From the yellow car head straight into the hall and take a right. Here you will find some workout equipment and on the right corner is where you will be able to find Ransack’s Randy Locker which will have a journal named “Deep Shit” inside. Collect it and you’re good to go to the next one.
Follow the paper trail to Dante’s Meet-up Point

For the next journal, you will have to move to the southwest side of the map at the amusement park where the Ferris wheel is located. From the stairs of the Ferris wheel take a right and head towards the railing near the water.

From here take a left and you will be able to find a bench over here with a journal named “Meeting of the Minds”

Find Randy’s Burner Phone

Last but not least, head to the northmost side of the map where you will find a few restaurants, and right to them will be a street or a path leading to trash cans. Search close to the trash cans where you will be able to locate your final journal named “Flaws in the Plan”

Now that you have successfully collected all the journals, it’s about time that you find the buried safe. To do so make your way back to The Pier Lifeguard Headquarters and outside its building you will find a small path and right somewhere in the middle of the path is where the safe is located.
