Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty Walkthrough Part 13 – Sidequests: Wurmwater (Part 2)

Smells Like Victory
Mercer, the cook of the boat, wants you to meet Shiv-Spike who is the Radio Operator. He is on the boat just over to the right. He is the man wired to the pole on the plank going out from the ship. Interact with this fellow to see what makes him less than appealing. Plus he apparently smells like something a corpse vomited up. Time to get traveling. Head for the Catch-A-Ride sitting in the rear of the ship and start to the North.

When you reach the fence head slightly to the West and you will find a path you can take riding the 'skiff. This gets you into Old Murphy's Canyon. You have a few pirates to deal with immediately (a grogmaster is in their number). Head on forward until you are stopped by the stone pylons. Get off the 'skiff and head into the settlement beyond it. A pair of pirates will attack you as you enter the area so be ready.

On in here, hang to the right and keep on the ledge above the path below. There are a few pirates that will try to ambush you. There are likely Powder Monkeys with them. Be sure to aim for either their heads or their barrels for a quick kill. Just keep working your way back along this walkway. It will, eventually, take you to the condiments. Just remember to take the crossover going to the East then turn and taking the second going to the West.

As you get to the back of this canyon you will encounter another group of pirates. It is the variety you have come to expect so get ready for fighting. As you get further in you will encounter Raiders, the pirate equivalent of Psychos. They come charging in at you. They start appearing you get to the Northeastern corner where the condiments are. You will also have to deal with 2 Badass Pirates on the way. Kill them all then head for the table at the marker. Grab the condiments and head back to the ship. Return to Shiv-Spike and interact with him to cover him in the condiments. After that give him a shove and down he goes to be eaten in mid-air. Just return to the Bounty Board to collect your reward after that.

Rewards: $674, Green Shield/SMG, 7890 XP

Declaration Against Independents
Apparently Sand Pirates have a union and they are not too happy to you just coming in and joining up in this search for Captain Blade's treasure. This just means you need to go and deal with these fellows. You need to head out and destroy 5 union vehicles. Start by going to the South of Bacchanal.

Head over to the closest circle. You will find yourself in Riptide Reef. Kill off the 3 sandskiffs that come charging at you one at a time. Now you can head to either of the remaining search areas (to the North or the East). Just take a little time to destroy however many more sandskiffs are needed and you are good to complete the quest. Return to the Bounty Board to claim your reward.

Rewards: $1,348, 789 XP
