How to Complete the Broken Ships Quest
Zane is considering leaving Kairos once and for all. The problem? Saying goodbye.
Find drone part
After accepting the mission, travel west of the Society for Amateur Seismology Enthusiasts. When you arrive, punch a body with crystals on the stairs to acquire a drone part. The second can be found behind the red locked chest. To find the last body with crystals, make your way to the top of the structure.
Return to Zane
Once you have the drone parts, travel back to Moxxi’s bar and hand them to Zane.
Clear out rendezvous site
Next, travel to Hull’s Handbasket in the northern part of the Ruined Sumplands. Upon arriving, clear out all the enemies then leave!
Find gift for Zane
You’ll find Zane’s gift, a Bottle of Brown, next to a porta-potty!
After grabbing the gift, you’ll need to clear out the rendezvous site… again!
Save Zane and Levaine
Unfortunately, the power couple will need saving, so get ready! In Hull’s Handbasket, head to the top of the tall structure with a fan on it. Upon arrival, please interact with the computer located to the right of the door to free them. The mission will then end.
