Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty Walkthrough Part 3 – Sidequests: Oasis (Part 1)

Message In a Bottle (Oasis)
Head to the Northern part of Oasis, to the Rockview Reststop, past the hangars where you found the Sandskiff. Fight through the Tri-tip Stalkers and head for the observation platform you can see to the East from the Rest stop. Head on up the stairs and over to the umbrella. Look on the first bench from the stairs and you will find the bottle. Grab it to begin the second part of the quest.

Head to the Northern part of Oasis. And go to the building just behind the Northern-most wall, to the West of the Seraph Crystal shop. Go into the small bend in the building and look to the left. You will find a door with a “X” on it. Throw the switch to the left of it to reveal the treasure inside. Approach it and open the chest to find your reward.

Reward: Max: $1,348, 789 XP, Shotgun: Captain Blade's Orphan Maker

Fire Water
Talk with Shade to get this quest after completing “A Warm Welcome”. He will ask you head to one of the nearby caravans to get Frank, an alcoholic corpse, some whiskey. So grab your Sandskiff and it is time to head out from Oasis. Go down the slope to the East and look for the marker for the Whiskey. It is a little ways off from where you need to go as you need to cross a bridge to reach it. Head over to the East and up the nearby slope to the next Catch-A-Ride station. Go to the West from there on foot. You will find a Pirate camp you need to fight your way through.

As you go into the camp you will be introduced to the next enemy archtype: Cursed Pirates. They start at half health. This is great as it makes for an easier kill. The problem is when they can get in close. When these foes connect with a melee attack then they regain health. This can really turn the tide if you are getting overwhelmed. Still, they are fleshy so fire-type weapons very well on them.

Fight your way through to the Northwest facing bridge. There you can cross over toward the Whiskey's location. There are a few Cursed Pirates waiting for you at the end of it. This leads to Coral Island Camp. Just look to the left of the door to find the Whiskey you are searching for.

Head on back to your 'skiff now and ride it into town. Head to the South of the  Kitty Kream and to the “beach”. Look for the only umbrella. Beneath it you will find Frank. Give the Whiskey to Frank then return to Shade to collect the rewards for this mission.

Rewards: $674, 7890 XP
