Walkthrough & Notes

The missions has 3 levels: The top deck of the ship (initial location, no quest objectives) The mid-level (progresses quest when entered via portal; there are mobs and hull leaks here) The lowest level of the ship (accessed via a normal staircase, after passing via the north part of the ship; here there are more mobs and hull leaks) Due to the curvature of the ship's hull, it is sometimes necessary to jump up on objects to reach the hull leaks The greater crabs appear in the western part of the lowest deck, regardless of where the character is, when the quest progresses Since the crabs are slow, it is feasible to lead them away from a hull leak, run back to the hull leak, and then seal it, before the crabs reach you. It is also possible to use so-called Crowd Control methods (fear, stun, mez, etc.), although the sealing of the hull leak takes about 6 seconds, so the CC needs to last at least that long. Crabs frequently go into Anti-exploit Mode in this mission, due to the multiple levels, and many path obstacles. The Scout appears at the top of the stairs between the mid-deck and the lowest deck. Due to U38.1.1 Delvings are removed from this mission.
