Starting Location: No Mercy
Search for the Butcher’s officer at a Renegade outpost
Head to the marked location to search the Renegade outpost. On the upper level of the building before heading downstairs you can grab a newspaper memento off an ottoman.
Memento – The (end of ) Times issue #2
You can then head downstairs and interact with the marked door.
When you head inside you will automatically talk to Lawan, then meet Demoulin who is hanging out inside.
He says he was trying to negotiate with the Renegades for Juan. You can choose whether to turn him into Matt or not, this doesn’t really matter much going forward.
Contact Lawan
You will then automatically talk to Lawan again, and she tells you to come to go to the Church on Saint Paul Island to look for the officer.
Find the officer critical to Matt’s plan
Head to the marked location to reach the church. To get inside you can go to the west corner of the building where there is a burning barrel outside an open door.
Climb up into the church, then interact with the board blocking the window to enter the church proper.
Hakon shows up but turns out he just wants the GRE key from you. This first timed choice doesn’t really matter.
Defeat the Renegades
Hakon summons some Renegades to attack you and attempt to get the key. There will be some on the lower level with you, then a few more on the upper level shooting at you with bows. Deal with them all to continue.
Talk to Hakon
After all the Renegades are dealt with Hakon will appear again downstairs. Go over and speak with him again.
Defeat Hakon
Hakon still wants the key, so now you will have to fight him. Some more Renegades also appear to make the fight more interesting.
Like normal human bosses, you can set Hakon on fire to more easily deal with him.
Search the church for Hakon
Once you get Hakon down to low health you will pass out and he will run off. Before going to find him, you can grab a memento off a nearby bench.
Memento – The Ambush Tactic
To find Hakon, you need to the upper section of the Church. Jump from the middle walkway up to the balcony with the red fabric hanging from it.
Interact with the door on the left.
Hakon knocks you down to the lower level, and you will have to fight him again.
Leave the church
Having defeated Hakon for good, you can now leave the church through the door on ground level.
Just kidding Hakon isn’t dead yet. You now get another choice, but what occurs here is dependent on a prior story choice.
If you had chosen to help Hakon all the way back in Revolution or Into the Dark and subsequently did the side quest Sniper’s Alley, choosing “Let’s not fight” will result in Hakon backing down.
If you didn’t choose to help Hakon or choose “Come any closer, and I’ll have no choice.”, then Hakon attacks again, resulting in you killing him for good.
Report back to Matt
After the next scenes you can head outside the church, you will automatically speak a bit with Jack Matt, informing him of what has occurred.
Meet with Jack Matt
You will then need to head back to the Floating Fortress to speak more with Jack Matt.
Head into his room, where you will have a conversation with him about what occurred, as well as be able to learn some more about his condition before finishing the quest.
This finishes No Mercy side quest in Dying Light 2 Stay Human.

If you want to save hakon be careful not to stomp him at any point as that end in an instant kill with no followup
