How to unlock the Not Even My Final Form achievement in Dead Island 2 - Definitive Guide

You won't find mutators until very late into the main story line. There is a mutator hot spot in "The Metro" and another in "Beverly Hills". The one in Beverly Hills is much easier as there are not as many zombies making it easier to sneak around.

To slay a mutator before it mutates you will need to find it laying on the ground and kill it very quickly before it starts to mutate.

I recommend trying this with a fully upgraded high power rifle or assault rifle. I did it with "Peggy" which is unlocked for completing a side mission with Curtiss in Bel Air.

If the mutator has already mutated quit to main menu and reload save to reset the area.

I found two spawn locations for the mutator shown in the video below.

Don't know how this happened but i just earned this achievement at the end of the game against the final boss who is a mutator. All i did was pop my fury mode and killed him fast the issue is he is already mutated so idk how this helped.

I'll just add that I threw a Sticky bomb at the 'Walkers' head before starting and it didn't wake up. That helped a lot when getting the kill before it mutated.

Recommended gear: (You want to have as much crit damage as you can)
- Hunting Rifle (Preferably Peggy from the Curtis sidequests as it automatically comes with High Caliber. Mine has a Mutilator Mod, and the Damaging and Honed perks on it to maximize the damage when I ads with it)
- The Glass Cannon Numen card (If you play the main story, you should eventually get this, but I'm not 100% sure where it comes from)

To do this, the best place is to head to Rikky's house in Beverly Hills. His house is at the bottom right of the map, just down the street from Roxanne's house (where the fast travel map is). Mutators will start to have hot spots when you meet the first one during the main story, and Rikky's house will become a hotspot.

When you get to his house, use a melee weapon to kill any zombies that attack you, but otherwise keep your gun out. You're looking for an all-white, nearly naked-looking Walker (it has the title of Walker when it hasn't mutated), and it will be lying motionless on the ground, so if you don't alert it, it will be an easy kill. If you alert it and it mutates, just run out of the house and reload the game (return to the main menu, then continue the game) as it should put you somewhere close to the house and reset the Mutator.

NOTE: There can be a Crusher called The Bouncer that spawns here as well, so it might be best to kill them first then reload the map so they won't spawn again.

tried this multiple times no mutator is spawning here, very confusing also as you say Rikkys house is down the the street when it's actually up the hill, so not even sure if we have the same house.

Down the street is a turn of phrase, it doesn't mean literally downwards, just distance from one location to the next on the same street. Ricky's house is definitely the hotspot. Check your map, it clearly displays it as one.

First time I went, the special cruaher variant was there so I killed it like OP mentioned and quit to main menu after leaving the house. Mutators then began to properly spawn. +1

While doing "It’s Not Your Fault" side mission i died after collecting the last one on the way to the fast travel at the end of the tunnel (behind the room with the workbench) and respawned in the workbench room. I left the room by the door towards the skywalk (where you entered the room in the story) and stood there for a few seconds. Some died in the green goo down below: achievement unlocked. :)

The Numen card "Glass Cannon" comes from the side mission "Art of War" which you can start inside of Serling Hotel upstairs. Not sure when it appears up there but that's where it will be and will take you down into the metro.

I want to mention that in co-op, only the person who does the killing blow gets it. I got the final hit twice and it didn't count for my friend. Also in co-op, a single shot fails and causes the mutation immediately, so melee with fury and non-explosive mod weapons make it easier in co-op. Another good spot for spawns instead of dealing with zombies all over the rockstar house, Bel Air near Emma's house is great for them to spawn, usually 2-5 in 5 minutes spawn in that area

I got this solo, totally unexpectedly. There was a shirtless guy in the distance looking a bit suspicious... He was just standing motionless in some shallow water, staring at a shopping trolley (!) I threw a shock shuriken and he electrocuted to death before he'd finished mutating!!! 😁 Then the achievement popped!

not sure if this is a fixed point for a spawn, but as I was heading back to the Sterling Hotel to finish the main quest The search for Truth, one happened to spawn in as I was walking to the back left stairs, I didn't sneak up on it, it just appeared standing there but didn't start its transformation so I was able to kill it and the achievement unlocked

I got this achievement on Ocean Ave. I came out the mall and had one come from behind me already mutated. I screwed around in that area for a bit kiting shamblers to get two more achievements then I spotted a pail Zombie walking towards me from the fountain. He was clearly aware of me. I switched to Peggy and got him in the head, then the achievement popped. 3 minutes later I shot another unmutated Zombie in the same area. That mall entrance had 3 in one sitting for me. Both me and Peggy were level 30.

If you don’t have a hunting rifle, fury mode is also very useful on taking the mutator out in its walker form. Activating fury mode right next to the mutator will stun it and it should only take 2 strikes to kill it.

Another way that I’ve managed to pull off several times is to have a fully upgraded sledgehammer (Emma’s Wrath works best) and hit the mutator with a fully charged heavy attack. If you quickly run up to the mutator/walker it will take a swing at you instead of mutating so you’ll have time to take it out

+1 for this, I tried every other solution and in the end using Fury to stun him was the winner. We did this in coop.

After completing the game, zombie hotspots will appear on your map, making it easier to find mutators. To defeat a mutator before it transforms, you need a really strong gun to one shot them with. I recommend Peggy, a rifle earned through Curtis' side quests, which I fully modded focusing on damage. Then, find a mutator and maintain your distance to not alert them. Shoot it one in the head to hopefully one shot and defeat it easily.

Guaranteed Mutator.
When you first arrive at Hollywood Boulevard there will be a fuse box to open a train carriage, use it then use the nearby water jerrycan to complete the circuit on the ground. Move into the train carriage and kill the screamer on your right before it makes a sound. Next move along the train disarming traps as you go. Right at the end of the carriage, next to the lootbox, there will be a dormant walker sitting in a seat shoot him in the head with a good rifle and the achievement is yours.
The only reason I even noticed him is because I had my rifle out and my crosshairs went red, lucky me.

I used the blood rage weapon which is a knife I fount doing the lost and found I believe. I fount melee weapons better and got this in beverley hills. I also visited metro which is another good spot but DO NOT recommend it as its harder to get to. Any issues watch my Youtube tutorial to get it! -

Pre-transformation Mutators are easily identified by their emaciated, bony appearance and sunken eye sockets. Don’t be fooled! They’ll change forms and mess you up, if you’re not careful. If you see an exceptionally skinny zombie, rip into it with everything you’ve got before it has a chance to change. A good place to find Mutators is in the southeast corner of Beverly Hills, as demoted by an icon in the mansion there. Check other regions on your map for Mutator hotspots, too.

Very thin men with pale beige skin and sunken eyes turn into mutators. It is better to use rage, otherwise you may not have enough time to kill, even when using a firearm.

After completing the additional task of the rockers in Beverly Hills (it’s better to return after the main plot), and the key to this house is available, the Mutator will be located in it, randomly - perhaps on the first floor, or on the second as in the video guide (en) .

At level 30 (possibly before, I haven’t checked) if you throw an el. shuriken at a mutator who has not yet noticed you, he will be stunned and will not transform and you can inject damage

I had a problem getting the trophy because I was playing with a friend. In co-op, all opponents become several times stronger (and the number of HP, respectively, too). How my friend and I suffered, no matter what we tried to do. And they sneaked up from behind, and at the same time shot at the head with a rifle on crits, and went into a rage - the damage was still not enough and the mutator turned (this despite the fact that we did this somewhere at level 28).
How we finally solved this problem:
We disconnected, everyone went to their single and one-shot the mutator, because in the single, all the characteristics of the zombies again become scanty.

Bel air location, entrance to the sewer, there are as many as 3 mutators there, take a machete with an electric shocker, sneak up from behind and extinguish the enemy, if it doesn’t work the first time, go to the main menu and repeat

I advise you to go through the side quest "Catch of Fools" there you will receive a legendary stiletto and at character level 27 you can use a workbench to adjust this stiletto to the power level should be approximately 527. With this stiletto you can safely shut up this mutator (the zombie will not be signed yet as a mutator like a walker will written) and four pokes into it and you're done. We were in a co-op with a friend.

The easiest way to complete this trophy is by completing the side mission Until Shivers, which can be taken after completing the story in the Bale Air location, in Emma's house, the quest is taken from Lucianna. There we will go down into the sewer, collect keys and open seismograph chests. There are only 4 chests. When you open the 4th chest, immediately turn 180 degrees and walk straight a couple of steps, and a mutator will come out in one of the piles, and as soon as it appears you can kill it with a hunting rifle (in my case Peggy) with one shot to the head . Or a heavy melee weapon. If you didn’t have time to kill and didn’t understand where the mutator appears, you can simply go to the main menu and continue the game. Save before opening chest 4.

The Mutator looks like a very skinny guy with gray skin and pulsating veins all over his body. He is also wearing gray pants. You need to look out for him yourself, because the game marks him as a regular zombie wanderer. The mutator must be killed with one blow (shot), within literally a second, because when it sees you, it instantly mutates into its fierce form.
There is a permanent mutator spawn location in Beverly Hills. The white mansion is in the lower right corner of the map. But there is a problem, he will spawn completely randomly. On both floors. In my case, he appeared on the first one, while I was looking for him on the second one, here is an approximate video of how I caught the Mutator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IncvuGnxjz0
