QUEST: Seek Out Tannis

Wordage: "If you insist on continuing your mad pursuit of the Vault, you should visit Patricia Tannis. I spoke with her about you, and she seemed eager to meet you. If you hurry, you might find her out at her dig site. Talk to Claptrap along the way, and he'll open the gate for you."

On completion: "Incredible! With your brain, and all the hurdles that implies, you have correctly identified a piece of the Vault Key. I want you to leave this with me, so that I may run some tests. I had one of these, once. Now, it is in the hands of Crazy Earl, along with many of my unmentionables. Do you like bugs?"

QUESTION: What are Rakks? (15:16)

Rakks appear to be highly social creatures with a task-based hierarchy that includes scouts, hive defenders, food processing, and perhaps even long-term food storage, similar to honeypot ants on Earth. They are known to be vocal, howling or screeching to rally a flock when a target presents itself or proves itself to be a threat. They also emit a screech at the moment of their slashing attack.

“SECRET”: Dahl Headlands (not so) hidden chest. 

This is a one-time only chest, only accessed during the mission: Bandit Treasure: X Marks the Spot. Once you get the key and complete the first part, go to the shed at the north-western corner to open the locked door and reach the chest.


QUEST: Is T.K. O.K.? 

Location: Arid Badlands

Level: 21

Rewards: 6072 XP, $8102, Grenade Mod

Background: "I just got a call from my good buddy, T.K. Baha. You met him, right? Blind as a bat in heat, and twice as looney. He'll watch your back in a fight, though. Just make sure you yell a lot so's he knows where you're standin'. Anyway, he called me, but he didn't say nothin'. That coot never calls unless he's got a reason, y'know? Would you go check on him? Make sure a skag didn't eat his other leg or somethin'."


Quest completed wordage: "T.K.'s dead?! Man, that asshole never returned those tools he borrowed, neither! Well, thanks for checkin' on him. Here's some money for your trouble, and by 'trouble', I mean you're gonna be in charge of the funeral. It sure as hell ain't gonna be me! Me and the boys'll raise our glasses in his name tonight."


LEVELUP: (April) Phoenix - Killing an enemy causes Lilith to deal +1 Fire damage-over-time to nearby enemies, and gives Lilith's shots a 5% chance not to cost ammo for a few seconds per rank
