There are 126 Inhibitor Locations in Dying Light 2. Inhibitors are the upgrade points needed to upgrade Health and Stamina. They are found in special Inhibitor Chests and sometimes in safes. When one is nearby you will get a proximity meter on the screen that helps you locate it. There are two trophies and achievements tied to Inhibitors “Fit as a Fiddle” and “Ironheart” for maxing out Parkour/Combat stats.
To max out Parkour/Combat you need to reach Rank 26 in each attribute. It costs 3 Inhibitors per Rank. You will get Rank 1 in both Health and Stamina automatically during the story, which accounts for 6 Inhibitors. That leaves 25 Ranks x 3 Inhibitors = 75 Inhibitors you must find yourself. The total collected in Skills Menu will shows as 81 Inhibitors (75 + 6 automatically from story) to max out one attribute. You can see how many Inhibitors you found in the bottom of the Skills Menu.
The problem is that there are not enough Inhibitors in the game to max out both stats. You need 81 Inhibitors to max out each (=162 for both), but the game contains only 126 Inhibitors. As a workaround, save up 81 Inhibitors, don’t spend them. Once you have 81, make a save game backup, max out one stat to pop the trophy, copy back your save, pop the other trophy. This way you can get both done in 1 playthrough. Alternatively, you can do 2 playthroughs but this would add another 20-25 hours playtime for one trophy.
If you are wanting to get all 126 Inhibitors, it is recommended that you assign the first Water Tower to the Survivors in Main Quest 8: Water Tower, and side with Juan in Main Quest 14: Welcome On Board. This is because these decisions will give you Main Quest 9: Revolution and Main Quest 15: Cathedral respectively, which have a total of 5 exclusive Inhibitors that are not available when doing the alternate quest. If you don’t have these quests, you can instead get these Inhibitors by joining someone in Co-Op.
After completing Main Quest 16: Broadcast, you can capture Radio Towers around the map, which will show Inhibitor locations on the map when zoomed in. This can help to pinpoint the location for some Inhibitors.
Note: For the trophy “Can’t You Read the Signs?” (Collect all Inhibitors hidden in GRE Quarantines), you specifically need only the 26 Inhibitors from Quarantine Buildings. They are included here as well, but if you want just those refer to Dying Light 2 All Quarantine Locations.

GPAP360 says
You missed the very first 3 inhibitors you automatically obtain on the scene after scape from the sewers and meet Hakon. Just at the start of main story mission 2.
Jahpups says
Do I need to progress in order to get enough inhibitors(78). Was wondering if I could just run around and grabbed them early.
Archavia says
You will need to progress until the second map, at which point you can go around and get just about everything. If you feel your health/stamina are too low you can definitely afford to put a few levels into both, you will just need to get a few more inhibitors to have enough to max them both with backing up. Just make sure not to level either of them above 15.
GPAP360 says
I think i found a POSSIBLE MISSABLE inhibitor, one not listed yet or maybe is just the 5-6 you have listed on Trinity. I can’t get back to the streets to check because im stuck on the zone allready.
On the main mission 4 “The Only Way Out”, when you get down to the trains zone and all this you get a warning about a inhibitor in about 47 meters.
I can’t find it here, and it seems that meters get down when i jump so maybe is on some building or something. The problem is that YOU CAN’T get inside here after you complete the mission.
MM99 says
Doesn’t matter. You only need 78. There are 128, more than enough.
TJCrinc says
it is listed. it is the one found inside the safe above ground, code 101. The safe code is past the safe, and is a required collectible note.
GPAP360 says
Found a UNLISTED INHIBIDOR, missed in one sidequest BUT IS OPEN WORLD, so don’t worry.
Zone: Trinity
Sidequest: All in the Family
In the same room you find Theodore (ground floor) there’s a door that lead to a room where the box is, you don’t need to do anything special to open the door. Is just 1 inhibitor. If you missed on the sidequest, go at night if you want to be safe inside.
Sai says
Wow, thank you!
MM99 says
I got 78, and did this method. Did a game save backup. Then fully upgraded my stat, but the trophy didn’t pop. I tried maxing out both. Once the stamina, then restored my save and maxed out the health. Trophy didn’t pop. Is it a bug? Thanks.
Archavia says
78 was a miscalculation, you need 81 total. You need to reach level 26 to max either stat.
GPAP360 says
Better if we find all or at least the one on missions / sidequests to not waste time looking for they.
GPAP360 says
Just found ANOTHER unlisted (and missed on walkthrough) Inhibitor but is OPEN WORLD, so don’t worry.
Zone: Horseshoe
Main mission: Water Tower
In the same room where you disable the last bomb, just before climb to the top. In the back of the same room. It’s a 2 Inhibitor.
Wicktor89 says
I found 3 unlisted Inhibitors:
– One is in the container in Airdrop THB-04B (Houndfield)
– Two are in the same building where is the “Lullaby” Graffiti (Horseshoe)
Nodqe says
I‘m hardly stuck at 121 inhibators, and can‘t find a solution to the 5 missing.
VoidDestoryer says
im at 125/126 and did the first biomarker is there just one i cant get? or does the radio tower not mark certain ones? or are there any other side quests that give inhibitors?
Laimov says
Same here, 125/126 and can’t understand what I’m missing here :/
Archavia says
It is likely Muddy Grounds #2 in the guide, as this inhibitor does not appear on the map or within proximity.
Dredgen Eyre says
Muddy grounds #2 Isn’t there for me, anyone know why?
sIGNnnn says
Inhibitor #21+#22+#23 and Inhibitor #25 +#26+#27 are the same for peacekeepers. So where should i find them,
Archavia says
Oh you’re right, I was thinking there was an alternate spawn for those inhibitors. I think it might actually be impossible to get all 126 inhibitors if you don’t get Main Quest 9: Revolution and Main Quest 15: Cathedral, as these 3 and 2 inhibitors respectively that don’t appear with the alternate quest, and to my knowledge there is no alternate spawn for those quests. If you are wanting to get these on that save, your best bet would be to join someone in co-op who has done the alternate quest and the inhibitors should then be available.
I’ll make a note in the intro section about this for those wanting to get all 126 inhibitors.
Fawkes says
Greetings – in regards to the needing to generate a back-up and reload to get both in a single run. You can also get the additional 81 and go to a bed and sleep once you wake up spam all 10 onto stamina or health. When the trophy pops power off your ps5 and the. Load the file from right before.
At least this worked for me.
Rass says
There is a mistake in the intro, you need to sign up the water tower to the surviviors to get “Revolution”, not the Peacekeepers.
Archavia says
Thanks for that, fixed.
Nachosinqueso says
Siding with the pk actually gives you the in the dark mission, not revolution
vemelon says
The one with safe code 987 does not shown on the map when unlocked all radio towers. Is there another one like this? cause im at 125/126 and I have absolutely no idea where to search.
Archavia says
As far as I recall all other inhibitors appear on the map, so the only one I can possibly think of is the quest reward from The First Biomarker.
JoshK says
To those who would like to get an extra inhibitor other than the ones listed here.
-a short distance to the south of the Nightrunner’s Hideout, the GRE box is submerged in the river. You may have discovered this hideout on your way to the Observatory [Story Quest]
MdMaynard says
*NOTE ABOUT MISSING INHIBITOR #89*
This inhibitor is now missing from the game, though I have found one that is not shown in this guide (as well in other online YT guides).
It is in the upper level of the Dark Hollow that is just N/E ( just above & left) to to ‘North Loop Radio Tower’ where this Inhibitor previously was. So it looks like it was moved.
Hope this helps.
(I recorded where the new one is if you want to see. You, Pyx, can add the photo location to your guide Powerpyx & delete my link if you’d like)

There is currently an exploit for inhibitors on YouTube if anyone is interested
