Sawtooth Cauldron
This mission takes place in Sawtooth Cauldron, a complex area accessible only from the northeast corner of Eridium Blight. It’s certainly possible to accept this mission when it becomes first available and have it provide your introduction to the area. Sawtooth Cauldron contains several heavily guarded bandit encampments as well as two thresher-filled regions. In no uncertain terms, it’s the most dangerous of all the bandit-dominated regions on Pandora, so bring plenty of Fire weapons and be ready to put your Action Skills—and a raging Goliath—to work for you.
The first ECHO Recorder is along the main path leading eastward atop the cliffs above Sawtooth Stilts.
Descend into Sawtooth Stilts to access Smoking Guano Grotto, and continue south toward Main Street Reservoir to find the next ECHO Recorder.
Give the watery area of Main Street Reservoir a wide berth and head west along the bandit road to find the third ECHO Recorder.
Marcus wants you to find a man by the name of Kai, but there’s a bonus in it for you if you find the three ECHO Recorders first. Kai, ahem, isn’t going anywhere soon, so focus your attention on the three blue waypoints on the minimap and save the white one for last. It just so happens that with some understanding of how Sawtooth Cauldron is configured, you can pick all three of them up along the way to Kai without any extra fuss. Finding these ECHO Recorders sheds some interesting light on Kai, the man who owed Marcus the nine dollars you’ve been hired to retrieve.
Brave the threshers and bandits and make your way to the Hyperion container at the far southeastern corner of Sawtooth Cauldron to find Kai’s remains.
