Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty Walkthrough Part 12 – The Hermit: Finding Rupert

Things do not get much easier inside the Rusty Cog Settlement. There are more pirates to deal with and at least one is a Badass. Head over to the left and up the stairs. This will give you not only a vantage point but some cover as well. From there just start firing on the pirates. You have a number of different pirates to deal with. There is a Cannoneer, Powder Monkey, Pirate Ninja and more. Move forward slowly, wiping out all the pirates in the next portion. This will get you through without much trouble.

When you get through the pirates you just need to head to the North and follow the arrows deeper into the settlement. In the next part you will find yet more Pirates in the area. Once again, take your time to fight through this group. There are a lot different pirates. The good news is only a few are close to the start of it so you can easily duck in and out from the corridor to get some cover.

Once you get through the initial group move forward carefully. This is where the Pirate Ninjas that to appear. They will drop in without any notice and start attacking you with their swords. They also seem to have a tendency to explode when they die.

After the second wave you can get over to the railing of this second area. You can use this to snipe across the way. That or simply jump down and charge the opposite side to engage this final group of pirates before you get over to Rupert. In this final group be careful as there is another Anchorman you need to kill off. Just remember they are good at the whole melee part so take them out carefully (or recklessly with a shotgun).

With the final group dealt with head over to the East and onto the bridge. Scarlett will thankfully warn you that the nearby shack is very likely Rupert's. She also warns you about a “smell straight out of your nightmares”.  Be careful as you get off the walkway onto the sand. You will encounter a few Spiderlings and at least one stronger Spiderant in the area. Just head for the lowered anchor. That is your path up to Rupert.

At the top of the anchor elevator go over to the East and turn to the South. You have another swarm of Spiderants to deal with as you make your way over there. Remember to aim for their vulnerable abdomen and that fire is a great idea against them (save when they are on fire already).

Head to the South and up onto the walkway toward the shack. Approach the door and knock on it. This will reveal Rupert. A little obsessed? Talk with him to complete the quest and collect your reward.
