Side Mission Guide & Walkthrough

Oasis

Wingman
XP: 7890
Money: $674
Gear: None

Accept this mission from Shade and you will need to go out north in the desert to the Horrid Hideaway. Once there, deal with the few Pirates and make your way up the slope to the shack and find the ring on a shelf. After you grab it, a few more pirates will appear to deal with. It’s nothing too difficult and you will then need to make your way back to Oasis. Once there, go around to the rear of the building where the waypoint marker is and climb the ladder. Hop down to the small landing on the other side where Natalie is and give her the ring. Once you do, return to Shade to turn in the quest.

Burying the Past
XP: 3945
Money: $2696
Gear: None

Nab this mission from the job board in the town of Oasis and Aubrey will want you to blow up her grandmother’s ship to get rid of the evidence that they were related. Head to the small wooden boat in the south eastern desert where the waypoint is to get the explosives. Once you have the explosives, head to the Wreck of the Kronus which is just south of the Wurmtail Plateau. Place them on the back side of the hull and then go to the small platform just to the north to find the detonator. Before you blow it up, some more pirates will show up, so deal with them and then blow the Kronus up. Once you do, return to the board for your reward.

Man’s Best Friend
XP: 7890
Money: $674
Gear: Assault Rifle

When you receive this mission from the job board, make your way to they are east of Coastal Caverns and West of the Horrid Hideout. When you enter there will be a bunch of Tri-Tail Stalkers about, so deal with them until Tinkles shows up. Once the large stalker does, take it down and return to the job board.

Giving Jocko a Leg Up
XP: 7890
Money: $674
Gear: Pistol

Talk to Shade and he will ask you to gather some items to help Jocko feel like a real sand pirate. To complete this quest, you’ll need to collect 10 gold teeth and 5 peg legs. To start head to the south east area of the Town of Oasis and enter the circle on the map and pirates will come out to attack. Simply kill enough of them until enough legs and teeth fall from the bodies to fulfill the request for Shade. Once you have all that is needed, simply return to the Kitty Kream and turn in the quest.

Message In a Bottle 1
XP: 789
Money: 1,348
Gear: Shotgun

For this mission, head to the yellow exclamation mark north of Oasis Town and enter the Rockview Rest Stop area there. When you do, take out the few pirates that attack and go up the stairs to the platform with the bench and umbrella. On the bench will be a large bottle to pick up. When you do, you will need to return to Oasis Town and go to the far north side. Behind the blue building will be a yellow building with a garage door and an X painted on it. Since X always marks the spot, open the door to find the treasure inside and complete the quest.

Hyperius the Invincible
XP: 7890
Money: 674
Gear: None

After you have completed the final story mission, “X Marks the Spot”, this mission will be available from shade in Oasis. To reach Hyperius, you will need to go through the Washburne Refinery and it will cost 8 Eridium when you get to the entrance. Hyperius is basically a raid boss and chances are, depending on your level, will need a few people to help take him down. When you start the battle with him, you will need to attack him to get things going. Once you do, he will have a few minions that pop up and keep him shielded. You won’t be able to attack him while he is tethered to them, so you’ll need to keep hitting the minions until they drop in to repair mode. Once they do, then he is fair game. Eventually when you have taken down all the minions, Hyperius will start to come after you will ground stomps and firing rockets. Simply keep away from him and keep firing at him non-stop and he will eventually fall. It’s a rather cut and dry boss once the minions are down.

Master Gee The Invincible
XP: 7890
Money: 1,348
Gear: None

After you have beaten Hyperius and returned to Sade in Oasis, he will give you this mission. Make your way to Hayter’s Foley and make your way around to the cavern past Sandman’s Lookout. Once you reach the gate, you will need to pay 8 eridium to enter and like Hyperius, the battle won’t start until you attack him. When you do, nothing you do will hurt him, you will need to attack the sand worms that pop up in the area. When you kill them, they will leave a pool of acid behind that, if walked into will continue to hurt you and Master Gee.

The acid will continue to spread across the floor until one of you walks to the center of it which seems to cause the acid to recede a bit. Use a singularity grenade on a worm that is almost dead and it will draw Master Gee to the worm and he will land in its puddle. Once he is starting o loose shields and health, go to the entrance and on the left will be a rock that you can crouch behind. Stay there and allow Master Gee to just drain his life away as you wait. If you got hit by the acid on the floor, then your life will continue to deplete as well, so you’ll need to pop out once in a while when you are about to die and get a revive from one of the worms nearby. It’s not a hard battle, but can take a while as his health slowly chips away from the acid. Once he is down, return to Shade to turn in the quest.

Treasure of the Sands
XP: 7890
Money: 1,348
Gear: None

This odd side mission is given after you have finished the final story mission of the game “X Marks the Spot” and is just a replay of the exact same mission. For whatever reason, you’ll have to return to Magnys Lighthouse and insert the compass and then return to Wurmwater to the light spot where the Leviathan will be. It really just like the story mission and everything you did there, you will need to repeat. Once it is finished, return to the job board in Oasis to turn it in.

Wurmwater

Message in a Bottle 2
XP: 789
Money: 1,348
Gear: Shield

When you enter the Wurmflats, immediately go to the right and follow through the settlement there to the stack of rocks with a tree outcropping from it. You’ll need to climb up the tree to get the bottle, so be careful not to fall off while reaching it. Now you’ll need to go to the east and through the narrow canyon. When you do, there will be a ramp on the right side, around the bend that will take you to Hegeland Camp. Clear it out of enemies and then continue through to the Worm Warning area. Kill the few sandworms that appear and then look to the left side of the area to find the X on the ground. Dig there and the treasure is yours.

Smells Like Victory
XP: 7890
Money: $674
Gear: Shield/SMG

For this mission you’ll first need to visit Shiv-Spike on the plank of Scarlett’s ship at the Buccaneer’s Bacchanal. When you do, you will be told to go pick up some condiments to make him more appealing. Head north to Old Murphy’s Canyon and follow the canyon through to the far end where you can climb a ladder to the upper level. Cross the two wooden bridges and on the far side will be the condiments. Once you grab them head back to Scarlett’s ship

Declaration Against Your Independents
XP: 789
Money: $1,348
Gear: None

This is a rather easy mission and all you need to do is drive to the map waypoint and shoot the 5 Union skiffs around the area. That’s all there is to it. Nothing fancy whatsoever.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Ye Scurvy Dogs
XP:3945
Money: $2,696
Gear: None

For this mission, you will need to return to the settlement to the left of the entrance to Oasis and shoot down 20 of the fruit hanging from the trees. There are plenty of trees to get the fruit from, but sometimes when you shoot them, they will explode. For the ones that don’t, run over and grab them when they hit the ground. Once you have collected 20 of the large oranges, return to the job board on the ship to turn it in.

Grendel
XP:3945
Money: $269
Gear: None

You will get this quest from the Town of Oasis job board to go and kill the Grendel in Hayter’s Folly after speaking with Captain Scarlett. Once you have it, go north to the Coastal Caverns and enter Hayter’s Folly at the bottom of the canyon. Follow the caverns through to The Aquanexus and up to the right to find the Grendel’s Den. The Grendel is a huge monster that will chase you around the area, but really isn’t all that difficult to deal with. Use cover and take your shots at him whenever you can.
