Dying Light The Beast Manual Pages Guide & Locations
Upgrading blueprints in Dying Light The Beast isn’t just about finding gear… you’ll need Manual Pages to level up your crafted weapons. These are easy to miss if you’re rushing through quests or avoiding Dark Zones. But if you know where to look early on, you can get enough Beginner and Intermediate Manual Pages to upgrade your favorite gear fast.
Here’s how to get Manual Pages in Dying Light The Beast, where to find them, and how to spot which areas are worth farming.
How to get Manual Pages in Dying Light The Beast
Manual Pages come in two main types during the early game: Beginner and Intermediate. Both are used to upgrade weapon blueprints.
You can earn Manual Pages from:
Side quests
Dark Zones
Most side quests will give you at least one Manual Page, usually at the end of the quest. The harder the quest, the more likely you are to get two. These are guaranteed drops, so side quests are the most reliable source early on.
Once you’ve cleared out most side quests, you’ll need to start farming Dark Zones.
How Dark Zones work for Manual Pages
Dark Zones are indoor buildings filled with infected. These locations reset over time and can be looted more than once.
You can visit them during the day or night. If you go at night, there will be fewer active enemies inside. That makes it easier to sneak through and grab loot.
Each Dark Zone has an icon on the map. If the icon shows a book with a wrench and hammer, that means Manual Pages can be found inside. Not every Dark Zone has them… check the map first before diving in.
Inside, look for straitjacket enemies that scream when they spot you. They act as alarms and will wake up all other infected nearby. Take them out silently with stealth kills to keep the area quiet. Once they’re down, you can explore freely and loot everything safely.
Manual Pages are usually found near the end of a Dark Zone, sometimes behind a locked door. There’s often only one per zone, but since they refresh, you can farm the same spot again later.
What Manual Pages are used for
Manual Pages are spent at crafting benches to upgrade weapon blueprints. Some upgrades cost just Beginner Pages… others require Intermediate Pages as well.
You’ll need a large supply if you plan to fully level up multiple blueprints. Some of the strongest crafted weapons can only reach their full potential with these upgrades.
Focus on farming Dark Zones with Manual Page icons and doing every available side quest early on. This will give you enough to keep your damage scaling properly as enemies get tougher.
Final Blurb
Manual Pages in Dying Light The Beast are essential for weapon upgrades. Side quests are the best early source, but once they run out, Dark Zones become your main farming spot. Check the map for the right icon, sneak past screamers, and loot every room you can. With enough Beginner and Intermediate Pages, your crafted weapons will stay strong through the entire game.
