How to Complete the Imminent Jest Quest
A practical joke? What fun. Dispatch thyself to Crankus’s humble lodging and let the capers ensue!
Shoot pipe to prank Crankus
First, travel just northeast of The Yawning Yard. Once there, shoot the pipe above Crankus.

Afterwards, speak with him.
Sabotage air conditioner
Next, travel just north of Embracer’s Bluff and use your grapple to pull the AC from the roof.

Talk to Crankus
After your prank, return to Crankus. They’ll decide to pull one last prank– on you!

Once they attack you, defend yourself, taking out both Crankus and Jankus! The quest will then complete.
