Dying Light 2 Saving Aitor: The Lead Up
As stated earlier, you can begin the Aitor side quest after first gaining access to the Peacekeeper HQ. Navigating to the infirmary inside the ship, will take you to a door where you can start the quest. Aitor's wife and the doctor are arguing about how to help him, with the doctor recommending herbs as a last resort, and his wife, Patricia, disagreeing due to their danger. Either way, the doctor tells you to go meet a folk healer called Margaret.
You'll be directed toward Margaret at Culvert Island, who will direct you toward the herbs you will need. They're called Recluse flowers, and can only be collected at night in a certain area that is filled with the chemical bomb after-effects. She also specifies that the big petals will poison Aitor, but the small ones can heal him.
Once you have collected all the Recluse petals you require, you can bring them to the doctor back in the infirmary. After arriving, the doctor will thank you, but Aitor's wife will question you on whether you went to collect the herbs.

Dying Light 2 How To Save Aitor: Tell The Truth
Selecting the option "I got herbs from her," lets you tell her that the herbs will help Aitor. The doctor will back you up, but Aitor will start to choke, requiring immediate medical help. The doctor says he can stabilise him temporarily with an injection, but Patricia will inform you that Aitor once burned out Margaret's eyes because she failed to heal some of his men, in turn killing them.
You are then presented with the second choice, which gives you four separate options to proceed forward.
