The suitcase of the actress Kelli Jo can be found in her trailer in the Monarch Studios area. Players will travel through the area for the first time in the seventh main story mission, Michael Anders and the Holy Grail, and the trailer is located in a narrow alleyway between Stage 5 and Stage 6.

The trailer will be swarming with zombies, and players can enter the trailer in peace once the horde has been slain. Kelli Jo's Suitcase will be leaning against the sink in the trailer's bathroom.

Kelli Jo's Suitcase Key Location in Dead Island 2

Kelli Jo's Suitcase Key can be earned by defeating a zombie called Kelli Jo Longeteig at Monarch Studios. It is important to note that she will not spawn when players first explore the area and will have to come back after progressing deeper into the game by completing main story missions, Boz Makes a Bang side quest, and It Came from Monarch Studios side quest.

Players can take the Monarch Studios fast travel point to be closer to her location, which is marked on the map above. Players will have to walk through the film set where the Alesis Hernandez boss fight took place, and Kelli Jo will be standing near a blue tent alongside other zombies in the area.

Kelli Jo is a special Screamer zombie whose scream can temporarily freeze players and make it hard for them to get in close with melee weapons. The best strategy is to take her down with guns or use Curveball weapons to stop her screaming. The Kelli Jo's Suitcase Key will drop from her after defeat, and players can use the key on her blue suitcase to get a weapon that could have better stats than what players normally find around the environment.

Dead Island 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
