Act 3 - Mission 7 - Floating Garbage
This mission is a bit wonky, although it really isn’t difficult at all once you get in tune with the beat of it all. To start throw some trash in the hole and watch the ship’s health fill up. For most of the mission this is all you’re going to do. Just ignore the OD while you search for more garbage.
Tip: The first part of this mission is designed as a tutorial to teach you how to pick up, carry, and throw trash into the ship. Plan to spend the next 10 minutes or so doing this, and always be on the lookout for more trash.
Once you prove you can pick up trash like a master your objective will update to protect the flagship. Feel free to shoot the odd OD, but for the most part you’ll just keep collecting trash and tossing it into the hole. Once you reach a certain point you’ll need to smash the controls to raise the drawbridge, but once that’s done you’ll return to your previous objective and protect the flagship.
Tip: Eventually you’ll come across a Herker or two and will need to take them take down quickly before returning to collecting trash.
After collecting a ton of garbage (trash man of the year… right?) and raising a drawbridge or two you’ll be introduced to a new foe, the Winger. Just as you might expect from the name, it’s a bird-like OD creature, but it’s not anything your Dirty Harry or Flaming Compensator can’t handle.
With the Wingers down and the ship still sailing forth it’s back to picking up trash and raising drawbridges. It’s pretty straightforward and you’ll just do it for a while until you reach your destination and trigger a mission ending cut scene.
