It isn't a full-on loot game, but Dead Island 2 does have its fair share of rare and powerful weapons to collect. There are random drops and blunt objects you'll pick up off the ground, but the best of the best are going to be the Legendary weapons. If you're a fan of the more lightweight, fast-attacking weapon types, then the Blood Rage dagger is one you'll certainly want to get your hands on. You won't find this Legendary dagger just laying around, though. Here's how to get the Blood Rage in Dead Island 2.

How to get the Blood Rage dagger

Like all the Legendary weapons in Dead Island 2, the Blood Rage dagger is tied to a specific quest. In this case, you're looking for the "Fools Gold" Lost and Found mission you can get by killing a specific zombie on the Santa Monica Pier.

Step 1: Go inside the Lifeguard HQ and find a Crusher zombie named Dante nearby the truck outside the HQ.

Step 2: Kill Dante and loot the key he drops.

Step 3: Use the key on the locker just inside the building to collect a note about a buried safe. The code to it has been split in two.

Step 4: The first half is in an ally on the far northeast corner of the map by some trash.

Step 5: The second part of the code is all the way at the back of a pier behind the ice cream shop on a wooden bench.

Step 6: With the full code in hand, go to the right side of the Lifeguard HQ down the ally (facing quite a number of zombies) and loot the safe stuck in the sand to claim your Blood Rage dagger.

The Blood Rage comes with Superior Melee Puncturator, meaning it inflicts Bleeding damage and get a big damage boost, as well as the Agile perk for stacking Agility boosts with each kill, Puncture Wound to increase crit damage for each one you do in a short time, and Infectious, which that causes nearby zombies to start bleeding just by hitting one.

A wedding in Stardew Valley. The player characters is marrying Haley, who's in a bridal gown. They're standing underneath an arch with all the townsfolk watching.

Unlike in games like Stardew Valley, there are no tips and tricks you can check for how to get someone to marry you. It is a lot more complicated than learning someone's favorite gift and giving it to them until they love you, sadly. What is easy is knowing how to get a ring when you are ready to propose, but that's not how it works in this farming sim.

Instead of a ring, you need to get a Mermaid Pendant when you're ready to pop the question, but this isn't something you can pick up at the local jewelry store or even the elusive Bookseller. If you want to commit to your relationship for good, here's how to get a Mermaid Pendant.

Fighting slimes in the mines of Stardew Valley.

Besides the basics of farming and giving gifts to other villagers in Stardew Valley, one of the first tips and tricks you learn is the importance of mining. Unless you are willing to use some cheats, this is the only way to get the proper materials to craft new and better versions of items. Quartz is a very common material that you can find almost anywhere, but Refined Quartz takes a few extra steps to get. It isn't hard once you know how it's done, and it will open up tons of new possibilities, so let's learn how to get Refined Quartz as fast as possible.
How to get Refined Quartz

There are three basic ways you can approach getting your hands on Refined Quartz. The first is by far the easiest and most reliable, so long as you have a furnace, some regular Quartz, and coal. If you don't have a furnace, you can make one with just 25 stone and 20 copper. Drop your coal into the furnace with coal powering it and leave it for half an in-game hour. Once it has been smelted, you will get a bar of Refined Quartz. However, if you find some Fire Quartz and smelt it, then you will get three Refined Quartz instead of just one.
