How to Get Pinching the Pupa Quest?

The Pinching The Pupa quest can be started alone, though it's usually found within the "Invocation Of Inconclusive Innocence" questline. You need to deliver a peace message to Durban, leader of Outpost Opportunity in no man's land. However, Durban won't accept it readily. He faces multiple complex issues, and a simple apology can't fix the problems caused by a missile strike near his outpost. But if you help him with some concerns, he'll accept the message and forward it to Auntie for peace.

He then gives you three tasks. Today we focus on one: Durban reveals that Fort Endurance has surprisingly elected a Mantisaur as commanding officer, causing a succession crisis. Solving this will make him accept the missive. Go north to Fort Endurance and speak with Wentworth, Bradford, and Wojtek the mantisaur to begin "Pinching The Pupa." You can also progress another of Durban's requests by solving the fort's murder case at the same time.

Meeting with Bradford and Wentworth

It's easy to spot Wojtek. Auntie's Choice has many domesticated animals in Dorado, but Wojtek appears to have joined willingly. Wentworth says only he can understand Wojtek's thoughts. When you speak with Wentworth, he explains Wojtek wants more Mantisaurs in their ranks. Fortunately, a nest of zyranium-infused Mantisaurs is located east of here. Bringing back a pupa would let Auntie's Choice raise it as their own. Sounds perfectly reasonable, doesn't it?Bradford objects, calling Wentworth's communication a fake, though he agrees about getting the pupa. He wants to study it to strengthen Auntie's Choice rather than train it as a soldier. No decision is needed yet - just focus on obtaining the pupa. Wojtek is named after the real bear enlisted in World War 2.

Securing the Mantisaur Pupa

The destination is marked east of Fort Endurance, but the map only shows an approximate area for the pupa. This area is quite large. It leads you to a Mantisaur Den, which is naturally full of Mantisaurs. You can fight them individually or try to sneak past. The choice is yours. To find the pupa, you must reach the deepest part of the den, even further east. Be careful not to get swarmed; take your time to divide and conquer if you fight.

At the very end, locate the nest in the corner. A Mantisaur guards it, so approach carefully to defeat it or sneak by. If detected, the entire nest will be alerted. A tip: consider equipping gear that boosts your combat sprint speed before picking up the pupa. Once you take the Zyranium Mantisaur Pupa, every Mantisaur in the den will know you're there. They will also spawn infinitely, eventually overwhelming you, so your only option is a swift escape.Sprint out of the den before they catch you. Your sprint speed is much faster in combat, making escape easy. Once you've escaped, you can fast travel back to Fort Endurance.

Who Should You Give the Pupa to?

Back at Fort Endurance, you must decide who receives the Zyranium Mantisaur Pupa. You can speak to either Bradford or Wentworth. If you talk to Bradford, you can give her the pupa directly. If you speak to Wentworth and agree to give him the pupa, Bradford will interrupt, pleading for you to give it to her instead. You should save your game around this point, before or after handing over the pupa, as a combat section is approaching.

If you give the pupa to Bradford, she thanks you and rewards you with Cleo's The Hunt unique weapon and 1,500 Bits. Wentworth becomes crestfallen and angry, stating you disobeyed the fort's commander, Wotjek. He insists he can communicate with the Mantisaur. If you give the pupa to Wentworth, Wotjek immediately eats it. Wentworth becomes furious, insulting the Mantisaur for ruining his plan to raise an army. It turns out he could not really communicate with Wotjek. The rewards are the same either way.

Defending Fort Endurance

Before the Mantisaur attack begins, be sure to create a save file to prevent any key characters from dying. Defend Fort Endurance through multiple waves of Mantisaurs and Mantiwasps, keeping them away from Wentworth and Bradford near the gate. Avoid harming Wotjek, who will assist in the defense. Once the battle is won, the quest concludes, and you may optionally speak to any survivors before moving on.

Now you have a complete understanding of the key steps to completing the "Pinching the Pupa" quest. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed this process filled with choices.
