The Dying Light 2 History Lesson quest is one of the easiest side missions in the game and is a good way of earning some experience early in the game. Dying Light 2 comes with a litany of different quests, which range from fetch quests, combat, exploration, and much more. History Lesson is a pretty simple exploration quest that sees you learning more about the past of Villedor, but some of the quest objectives aren't massively obvious. That's why we've created a breakdown of how to finish the Dying Light 2 History Lesson quest.

The Dying Light 2 History Lesson quest can be found in the Rooftop School safehouse in the Trinity territory of Old Villedor. Inside the building, a teacher is giving a lesson to some children on the history of Villedor, and one of them wants to light a candle to commemorate the March Massacre which occurred during the beginning of the apocalypse. Obviously, they can't go, but the teacher asks you to go in their stead, giving you a chance to learn some history along the way. 

Once you arrive at the square in Houndfield, you will need to clear the immediate area of some infected, before investigating the memorial. Interacting with the memorial directly will trigger Henkel the teacher to contact you and inform you what it's all about. The next section is what players struggle with, as you have to interact with a random tree to the right of the memorial. It's denoted by the bullet marks on the wood, and once you have found it, Henkel will instruct you to light the candle. Once you have done so, the mission will be over, with no need to return to the school. 

That's our breakdown of how to finish the Dying Light 2 History Lesson quest, including where it begins and how to explore the square to complete all the objectives.
