[cut scene] Rusty Pete, ratchet & Talwyn make the long sea journey over to Morrow Caverns. Of course they have GPS (Global Pirate Service). Once they arrive on the island, Rusty Pete navigates the dark caves to get to the dock. He says it should be easy to get to Darkwater, as long as things stay dead? Yikes! What does that mean? If you talked with some of the turbine operators you know about the "curse".

Once you leave the boat, follow Rusty Pete and Talwyn down into the main cave. There are 2 portal gates that are locked. Go to the far right of the cave and find the floor crank. Connect your wrench and turn the bolt into the floor. The gate on the right will open. Talwyn ventures into the cave. [cut scene] There is a small earthquake and the gate falls and slams shut (broken into pieces), trapping Talwyn. Promise to come back for her.

Rusty Pete has an idea. He has Captain Slag's head on a stick (like a puppet). Maybe Slag can remember and recite the magic song to open up the voice lock on the other gate? Of course, Slag does remember and sings the diabolical, forbidden song of the dead "I'm a little teapot". [cut scene] The gate opens. Rusty Pete and Ratchet enter the caves, leaving Talwyn behind.

This place is creepy. The caves are all misty and covered in shallow water. There are dead pirates everywhere, strewn among the rocks. It will be dark for awhile. You'll have to rely on Rusty Pete for the first part to help you navigate through the caves. DON"T VENTURE OFF ON YOUR OWN! There's a horde of vulture bats waiting to attack on the left. Wait for Rusty Pete to turn on a light. The light scares away the bats.
|
 |
Rusty Pete finally walks up the ledge on the left and lights the area. The bridge across to the island has to be dropped down. He suggests Ratchet go ahead and see if he can lower the bridge. Jump up to the rail. Hanging from the rail you can shimy across to the right to the next cave. As Ratchet starts across the rail, there's an ominous roar below him from deep in the cave. There's a fleeting shadow. What is that!
|
 |
Shimy across to the other side and drop down [R2] to the next cave. It's very dark. If you walk into the cave, you'll be attacked by a horde of vulture bats. Run back out from the cave amd they retreat. Rusty Pete yells over and says to grab a Heliogrub [square] to light the cave. Those flying bats hate the light! Go to the right. There's a small glow pool up on the ledge with Heliogrubs squirming around.
|
 |
Pick-up a Heliogrub and walk into the cave. As you walk, the horde of bats sees you, screams in fright, and flies away to the next area on the right. Walk to the main area of the cave and gently drop the Heliogrub [square]. He'll stay lit. Walk back to the glow pool and grab another Heliogrub. Walk past the 1st one you dropped, and go to the right. There's a floor crank bolt up on the right. You'll need light to see it.
|
 |
Drop the Heliogrub right next to the floor crank by the bridge (for insurance). Use your wrench and turn the bolt crank into the floor. The bridge will extend to the next island and lock into place. Pick-up the Heliogrub and walk across the bridge. There's another glow pool on the left with more Heliogrubs. You'll have to use the rail above you to get across to the next ledge. You can see the horde of bats waiting on the other side.

 |
Ratchet has to light the far ledge BEFORE shimying across the rail. The bats will attack you if you do it in the dark. Grab a Heliogrub and throw it [circle] across the abyss. The grub should land on the far ledge. The bats fly away screaming. For insurance, I threw a 2nd grub. NOW you can jump up the ladder on the wall on the left and shimy across to the other side. Another deafening roar from below!
|
Once you're on the far ledge, go to the back and hop up the ladder rungs to the upper ledge. Whack the Nanotech crates to regain health and get ready to grind the rail deep into the caves.
