How to Complete the Whack-A-Thresher Quest

The threat of violence is often more than enough to get your point across. But these are threshers so there is a 43% chance you get eaten alive instead.

Slam Some Threshers

slam down on threshers

Mort wants you to slam down on his threshers! To accomplish this task, head to the field across from Mort to the east. There you’ll notice a blue objective marker. Head to that location then press the button to jump up twice then hold that button to slam down. You will need to do this quickly in order to achieve the slam!

After you have slammed down on the first objective, you’ll notice that it moves to another location on the field. Again, you’ll need to perform the slam on the objective. Keep doing this until Mort finally tells you that enough is enough!

Return to Mort

After Mort is happy with your slamming, return to Mort to complete the quest.
