Escape Morrow Caverns is a mission in Quest for Booty, taking place in the Morrow Caverns on Merdegraw. Rusty Pete had used Ratchet to take him and Slag's head to the body of Captain Darkwater, combining and resurrecting both, forcing Ratchet to flee the Caverns due to the attacking undead pirates.
Walkthrough[]
Pete will return your Combuster and Fusion Grenade to you, at the same level as they were when you lost them at the Azorean Sea. The Combuster is good against lone pirates, while the Fusion Grenade is better against groups. Use both of them against the undead buccaneers that repeatedly spawn, until they have finally stopped. Use the kinetic tether to operate the bridge and catapult up ahead, from where you can follow the path to the elevator, fighting more buccaneers along the way. Use the elevator and prepare to fight a pythor as soon as you exit.
This time you will be able to fight back, so attack it with either weapon while dodging its fireballs. Pythors are prone to fleeing when they take too much damage, but they can be destroyed if you are quick. Pick up a heliogrub nearby if you need to due to the lack of lights, and go through the small passage on your right to reach the other side. More buccaneers will attack you as you head back to the entrance. Use a lava rock, or the Fusion Grenade, to destroy the gate that Rusty Pete opened with Slag for you at the start to enter the entrance room where you and Talwyn got split up.
At the room where Talwyn was split up, you can optionally reunite with her. To do this, use a lava rock, or the Fusion Grenade, to destroy to where she was left behind, then head inside and defeat the pythor to reunite with her. Reuniting with Talwyn will get her help in the following mission (while not doing so means she is not present until the mission after that), and can be done rather Ratchet promised to rescue her or not. Additionally while rescuing Talwyn, nearby, a stack of metal crates on the left behind the now-open doorway. Behind the stack, you can find the Pyrocidic Precipitation upgrade for the Combuster, which makes it slightly more useful against the buccaneers.
Either way, after rescuing or passing Talwyn, return to the ship to travel back to Hoolefar to warn Mayor Worley.
