State of Survival x The Walking Dead Collaboration: How to Find Daryl Dixon
The most epic zombie apocalypse collaboration has finally started, featuring mobile game State of Survival and television show The Walking Dead. The event to find Daryl Dixon is now live in the game, but how exactly do you play it? This short guide will help you locate one of the most popular characters in The Walking Dead history.
The event’s official hashtag is #ANewChaosAwaits, which just implies that the new event will be fun and chaotic for all new and old players. In this new event, you will meet new foes, face fresh challenges, and most importantly meet one of the faces of TWD — Daryl Dixon.
Why Daryl Dixon?
The Walking Dead had numerous characters throughout the years and all throughout its ten seasons, but why did they choose to feature Daryl?
Us players, actually, chose Daryl Dixon as revealed by State of Survival. In an official poll held by SoS, 53% of the votes went in for Daryl. KingsGroup Holdings granted our desires and actually featured Daryl in his very own SoS event.
Daryl Dixon is one of the main protagonists of AMC’s The Walking Dead. He is part of the core group of survivors, known for his hunting skills and ability to kill Walker zombies flawlessly. His main weapon of choice is the Stryker Crossbow, an iconic piece of armory that has already put thousands of zombies to sleep. Daryl Dixon is played by phenomenal actor Norman Reedus (yes, that guy from Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding).
If you have already updated your game, you can spot Daryl on State of Survival’s loading screen, fighting zombies together with SoS’s other heroes like Becca and Maddie.
What is the State of Survival x The Walking Dead event?
Basically, all you have to do is find Daryl Dixon. So where is Daryl hiding? You have to complete missions and answer trivia questions to find out his location.
There are about five sub-events in this collaborative event, but we will focus on the first two.
Mysterious Visitor
Perhaps the most exciting sub event in this collaboration is the Mysterious Visitor. While it’s obvious that the man that we are looking for is Daryl, it is kinda fun to play the detective and try to look for him in all of state of survival.
You will be given different clues that would eventually lead you to unlock the mysterious visitor. You will start with engine sounds, lead on to blood-stained hair, and so on — it is like you are playing as Sherlock Holmes in a zombie world! There are a total of 22 clues to be unlocked. Now watch as the story unfolds before your eyes, and how you’ll soon find yourself face-to-face with this mysterious visitor.
With all the challenges in here, you will surely be needing a zombie-smashing team. You can check out our previous blog posts about the strongest State of Survival heroes or a brief guide on how to recruit SoS heroes.
