Sawtooth Cauldron
A bandit by the name of Ulysses needs your help. He’s hanging out on the northwest corner of The Buzzard Nest (accessible via Mortar’s elevator from Smoking Guano Grotto), and he wants your help in getting off the planet. He needs you to retrieve a lunar supply beacon from Smoking Guano Grotto. With it, he believes he’ll have a way off Pandora once and for all. Oh, and he’d love it if you can remember to pick up his pet goldfish along the way (purely optional).
This mission can be accepted before you officially turn in your progress on “Toil and Trouble.” Follow the strategy outlined for that story mission to gain access to The Buzzard Nest high atop Sawtooth Cauldron, and complete the main objectives before taking time to speak with Ulysses.
Ride the elevator down to Smoking Guano Grotto and (with the elevator behind you) continue around the cave to the right. Ulysses’ pet fish is in a bag of water on a shelf just around the corner from the elevator. The pet is almost directly below Ulysses’ position up on The Buzzard Nest.
Whether you descend the ladder or leap across to the angled beam, you’ll need to reach the lowest point in Smoking Guano Grotto to find the supply beacon.
Now that you have the pet, it’s time to retrieve the lunar supply beacon. The item you need is located at the lowest point in Smoking Guano Grotto, at the base of a ladder on the eastern side of the cavern. There are two ways to go about reaching it, the first involving a series of relatively risky leaps across the center of the chasm, beginning with the one toward the chest behind the elevator. Gradually run, leap, and drop to the angled beam and balance your way to the supply beacon. The other way is to continue the clockwise loop around the perimeter to the eastern side of the cavern and descend the ladder. Consider taking the riskier former route if you hadn’t recently looted the chests on the suspended platforms in the center of the area.
Return to the elevator and ride it back up to The Buzzard Nest. Set the supply beacon down in the designated position, and watch as Ulysses gets his wish, one way or another.
