Use the Hell is Us: Solve ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Good Deed guide to get this Good Deed solved.
Hell is Us is third-person action-adventure game that aims to “return to the roots of adventure games” by getting players to rely on their instincts rather than way points and map markers. It’s ambitious and quite rewarding to make progress and discover stuff off the beaten path.
There’s a whole host of puzzles, mysteries and strange items to be found in the world of Hadea, where Hell is Us is set. Not to mention weird looking enemies too!
With that in mind, we’ve pulled together some guides which we hope are helpful. Please note that these won’t necessarily be step-by-step walkthroughs, but things to look out for to help solve the mystery.
Hell is Us: Solve ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Good Deed Guide
Good Deeds are additional side objectives in the game, where you can get rewards for completing objectives for people throughout the game. What these Good Deeds are isn’t known initially. There are 26 in the game and can be tracked in your datapad. However, they are blanked out until you discover an item / speak to a person related to it.
Even then, the datapad doesn’t tell you what you need to do, just that you’ve found it. You’ll have to chat to NPCs and use the ‘Trade’ option to look at items you can give to them. There’s no harm in trying them with characters; they’ll tell you that it isn’t for them.
YOU CAN FAIL GOOD DEEDS! So if you find an item you think can go to a character, take your earliest opportunity to do so. Just in case! But, bearing in mind that you may not get the thing you need until you reach another area.
Completing Good Deeds can earn you rewards in one of the areas in Vyssa Hills, the third location in the first main area of the game.
Where is the Man’s Best Friend Good Deed?
You’ll find where the Good Deed is early on in the game, but you won’t be able to do anything about it immediately. You’ll need to find the dog and doghouse, both are in a fenced area with a ‘Protective Soldier’. They are located in the town of Jova in the Acasa Marshes area.
Turn to the right from the two-storied house with graffiti on the front and you should see the doggo.


Speaking to the soldier or selecting the ‘free’ option on the dog won’t do anything in the first instance. You’ll have to wait until later for the soldier to depart. They’ll head to Panthem Abbey as part of the story. I think this takes place from Act 2 onwards.
From that point you can head back here, and select the ‘free’ option on the dog. You’ll receive Max’s Dog Collar.

What now? Head to Vyssa Hills! You need to head towards the Timeloop’s location and head up the slope that runs behind it. To the right of the door that’s sealed with a snake emblem on it. Follow the path round and up the ladder to the right.
At the top you’ll find a camp, head to the man who is sat down, closest to the entrance of the mine. Give him the dog collar.

Success! Good Deed accomplished!
