As you approach the waypoint that marks a locked door, a voice will talk to you and ask you for help by means of opening the door.

Kill all of the ratch in the area and make your way up the stairs, heading for the door controls.

B3RAU-9

Open up the door that Glenn is behind and you will see a ratch appear which you will then head over to.

B3RAU-10

The door that was previously locked when you went around the area on your way to the controls will now be opened so you don’t have to go all the way back around.

Head through the now unlocked door and go to the ratch that has come out of the other door that was recently opened as well.

Speak with the ratch who is actually Glenn and he will tell you what has happened and says that you should search for Terry together.

B3RAU-12

Terry’s body will be where the controls were but he will be dead and Glenn comes up with a plan to bring him back.

Glenn will suggest that you do the same thing Terry had done for him and place his brain in a ratch body so that Terry will be alive once more.

Glenn will chew up Terry’s body, leaving only the brain which are to pick up and bring to the are where you will transfer it to a ratch body below.

As you head down, Glenn says that you need to lower Gary’s cage which holds Gary, a ratch with the brain of a Maliwan war criminal.

After you lower the cage, you will need to clear the area below so that you may access the brain transfer area which is connected to where Gary’s cage has dropped and released him.

Head down and kill Gary as well as the other ratch that are wandering below before proceeding to the brain transfer area.

Ratch’d Up Mission Rewards

B3RAU-22

Upon completion of the Ratch’d Up mission, you will receive around 1,235 cash as well as the “Peacemonger” epic pistol.

Tips

B3RAU-23

  • Bring a weapon that can take out ratch quickly such as high damage shotguns or elemental weapons that can also deal a good area of damage as the ratch will come at you in a large amount.
  • Gary can be quite annoying and if you don’t have a high damaging weapon the fight can take a long time so be sure to have at least one weapon that has a good amount of damage.
  • When you lower Gary’s cage, you can stand on it to avoid taking too much damage when entering the pit.
