If you’re finishing *Dying Light: The Beast*, remember that the story is just the beginning! There’s still a lot to explore and do after completing the main quest. Beyond continuing to fight and collect items, you can enjoy side quests, hunt for hidden secrets, and unlock some incredibly powerful Legendary Weapons.
It’s easy to miss things in Castor Woods, so this guide will help you find everything you still need to do after finishing the main story of *Dying Light: The Beast*. Here are ten things to check off your list after the credits roll.
Complete Outpost Challenges to Unlock Special Rewards
Outpost challenges are special quests created by the Dying Light community. By connecting your Techland account to Dying Light: Outpost, you can take on these challenges and earn unique rewards. These include powerful weapons like the broken Hellfire Shotgun (which can be upgraded to Legendary quality), the Spectral Bat, and the Hussar sword. While completing these challenges can be tough – think defeating ten Volatiles without dying or running 10,000 meters in a single night – the rewards are well worth the effort.
Find All Hidden Treasure Maps in Castor Woods

Throughout Castor Woods, you can find Treasure Maps – sometimes even in safe areas or close to workbenches. These maps usually point to valuable items, such as rare Military Medkits or Stat Boosters that give Kyle a significant edge against tough enemies. Certain maps, like D3, lead to Safes that require a specific combination to open. If you’re looking for the best gear in the game, be sure to follow the clues from these Treasure Hunts.
Collect All Beaver Statues

Throughout Castor Woods, you can find collectible beaver statues. Finding all of them unlocks the secret achievement/trophy, “Know What ‘Castor’ Means?” The first statue is easy to spot – it’s right at the Town Hall entrance – but the others are hidden and will take more effort to discover.
To fully complete Dying Light: The Beast, players must find all the statues hidden in locations like The Monastery, The Art Gallery, The Library, The Power Plant, and the challenging St. Valentine Asylum.
Find All Secret Recording Tapes

Dying Light: The Beast includes a huge scavenger hunt, sending players to explore every location and hidden spot in the game. Throughout this search, they’ll discover tape recordings that uncover the dark story of the Baron, his twisted experiments, and what happened during the thirteen years Kyle Crane was imprisoned.
Find All Newspapers

The Castor Woods Newspapers are hidden collectibles you’ll need to find to earn the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ achievement. You can discover them while playing through the main story, and they often contain helpful hints about secret locations and the history of Castor Woods. While they’re just collectibles, finding all of them is essential if you’re aiming to fully complete (platinum) Dying Light: The Beast.
Complete All Racing Mini-Game Challenges

After finishing the side quest “The Fast and Fortunate” (a nod to popular racing movies), players can fix their vehicles using blueprints earned as a reward. They’ll also unlock new races throughout Castor Woods. These races are a fun way to fully complete the game and earn a hidden achievement/trophy – which involves killing 500 zombies while driving. Each race track has a different difficulty level, so simply driving and destroying zombies won’t be enough to win them all.
Every race you complete offers three rewards: Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals. Winning these medals gives you extra Old World Money and the feeling of accomplishment from conquering tough tracks in the post-apocalyptic world of *Dying Light: The Beast*.
Find Every Mural

The world of *Dying Light* now features murals, introduced in *Dying Light 2: Stay Human*. Some of these were created by artist Anna Krzemień and can be found in Old Villedor. With the release of *Dying Light: The Beast*, more murals have been added to Castor Woods, rewarding observant players who explore carefully.
Some murals, like the one near the bridge between Old Town and The Villa, are easy to find. Others, however, are hidden in dangerous, monster-filled areas, requiring players to explore carefully. Despite the risk, discovering all the murals unlocks a special reward and offers a unique experience blending street art with the game.
Collect Every Sigil Stone And Unlock EXPCalibur II

To unlock the incredibly powerful EXPCalibur II, a two-handed legendary weapon that quickly defeats enemies, players need to find Sigil Stones hidden throughout Castor Woods and gather the necessary crafting materials. These stones can be difficult to find, but using Survivor Sense in the area will highlight their location.
It’s definitely worth trying to get this weapon before the game ends, but finding it might involve exploring risky, infested areas like Asylum Island. Be extra cautious when searching for the Sigil Stones.
Collect All Mysterious Sticks And Fix The Beaver Dam

Hidden throughout the game world is a unique Easter Egg involving a Beaver Dam and a collection of Mysterious Sticks. Finding these items allows players to fix the dam and unlock a surprisingly powerful weapon called The Beaver’s Stick. This club, which is essentially a branch, has a 100% chance to knock enemies down, sending them flying with every hit.
Find All Castor Woods Recipes

In *Dying Light: The Beast*, you can collect recipe cards for Castor Woods Recipes. What’s cool is you can actually use these recipes to make real-life food! They’re hidden all over the map, and while some are tricky to find, others are easy to miss. A good strategy is to search any buildings that look like cafes, hotels, or large homes, especially in areas like Golden Pines and The Vale.
Completing this task also unlocks the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ achievement, making it worthwhile for completionist players. To help, here’s a complete map of Castor Woods showing where to find all the hidden recipes. Interestingly, some recipes are hidden near clues that help you find treasure or notes containing safe passwords and combinations, so keep an eye out for extra rewards!
Collect All Secret Legendary Weapons

Powerful, unique weapons have been a staple of the Dying Light series since the original game. Some, like the Hand of Glova or EXPCalibur, are incredibly strong and have unusual abilities that can completely change how you play.
More than twelve unique Legendary Special Weapons are hidden throughout the game, like the incredibly rare EXPCalibur II and the Beaver’s Stick. If you’re having trouble finding them all, this guide can help pinpoint each weapon’s location.
