Introduction
You must be one of the new arrivals to Mercy. They call me Mongoose, because I'm the best at what I do - taking down Snakes! If you want to survive on Mercy, you best learn what I got to teach you. If you're tough enough, maybe you'll move up the food chain in the Rogue Isles. Or maybe you'll end up dead in a snake pit. I don't really care - I get paid either way.

Missions
Rob a Local Bank
Briefing
I've been earnin' a few bucks here and there on Snake bounties, but I've got what you call 'expensive tastes'. So, if you're up for it, I got a job for you to pull off. There's a local bank that's just beggin' to be robbed. Hit the bank and bring back the money!
Mission Acceptance
I'd do it myself, but I'm known too well around these parts.
Mission Objective(s)
- Steal money from bank
- Steal money from vault!
- Defeat guards to escape
Clue: Money Bags
These are bags filled with cold hard cash stolen from the bank on Mercy Island!
Debriefing
Ah, sweet money! Nice work! We'll make a hardened criminal out of you yet!
Take Down some Snakes
Briefing
As you probably noticed, Mercy is literally crawling with Snakes. As far as we can tell, they were once humans who were infected by some kind of virus which transformed them into the monsters you see now. There's probably some sort of big mutant Snake dug in way down beneath Mercy somewhere who infects people with the Snake-virus. At least that's what we speculate, 'cause we ain't found that mutant Snake yet!
Those beasts are fast and vicious, and some of 'em have a nasty venom that'll sting ya somethin' harsh! Lord Recluse has put a bounty on them, so if you're lookin' to get in good with Arachnos, here's your chance. Head over to one of the Snake Pits and take down some Snakes!
Mission Acceptance
Snakes usually stick around pits which lead to their underground lairs. The entrances to these Snake pits can be found all over here in Darwin's Landing, and you might find a couple in the Mercy neighborhood as well. I know there are a few due west and due east of the clocktower. Oh yah, an they mostly come out at night. Mostly.
Go. Hunt Snakes!
Mission Objective(s) Defeat A Mob
- Cull Snake population
- Defeat 5 Snakes
Clear Hellions from Arachnos Base
Briefing
Normally I just take care of Snakes around Darwin's Landing, but occassionally I look into other matters for Arachnos. I just got word that a gang of Hellions just attacked a local Arachnos base, setting it on fire. Head over to the base and take down the Hellions responsible.
You have 75 minutes to complete this mission before the base collapses from the fire and the Hellions escape.
Mission Acceptance
Those Hellions think they're showing off, but they're just being annoying. Swat them down.
Mission Objective(s) (Timed, 1:15)
Clear Snakes Out of Casino
Briefing
Those freakin' Snakes get in everywhere! I just got a call from Larry the Eyes, owner of a local casino. Apparently there's a whole slew of snakes who have come pourin' into the place, wreckin' everything! Head over to the casino and cleaer out the Snakes.
Mission Acceptance
Make sure you clear all the Snakes out!
Mission Objective(s)
- Clear out all the snakes
Debriefing
Nice work! Larry's gonna owe me for that!
Clear out a Snake Pit
Briefing
As you probably noticed, Mercy is literally crawling with Snakes. As far as we can tell, they were once humans who were infected by some sort of big mutant Snake dug in way down beneath Mercy somewhere who infects people with the Snake-virus. At least that's what we speculate, 'cause we ain't found that mutant Snake yet!
Those beasts are fast and vicious, and some of 'em have a nasty venom that'll sting ya somethin' harsh! Lord Recluse has put a bounty on them, so if you're lookin' to get in good with Arachnos, here's your chance. Head over to one of the Snake Pits and take down some Snakes!
Mission Acceptance
Snakes usually stick around pits which lead to their underground lairs. The entrances to these Snake pits can be found all over here in Darwin's Landing, and you might find a couple in the Mercy neighborhood as well. I know there are a few due west and due east of the clocktower. Oh yah, and they mostly come out at night. Mostly.
Go. Hunt Snakes!
Mission Objective(s)
- Cull Snake population
- Defeat 5 Snakes
Debriefing
Huh. Not bad! Don't get too cocky tough, 'cause there's far worse than Snakes around the Rogue Isles.
Clue: Snake Hunt
It all started when you met Mongoose on Mercy Island. Mongoose was a professional Snake hunter working for Arachnos, hired to help keep the Snake population down. He got you to help him cull the Snakes on Mercy, giving you a chance to prove your worthiness to Lord Recluse.
Clear out Snakes from Sewers
Briefing
Nice work on culling the Snakes in the area! Usually we can keep them confined to the Snake Pits, but occasionally they tunnel or slither their way into other places. Speaking of which, we just got a report of a nest of 'em forming in the sewers underneath Darwin's Landing. Go in and clear out the Snake nest before it becomes a problem.
Mission Aceeptance
The snakes have most likely constructed their nest in the deeper part of the sewers.
Mission Objective(s)
- Clear out Snake nest
Clue: Snake Idol
This small stone statue is roughly carved into the form of a snake.
Debriefing
You cleared out the nest? Nice work!
This snake statue? Yah, we see 'em sometimes in Snake nests. Some sort of 'snake goddess' they worship or something. I tell ya, those Snakes are vicious AND crazy!
This Snake cult was probably started by the same mutant Snake who transformed those poor suckers in the first place, likely to get them to do her bidding.
Take out Snake Temple
Briefing
You've done some really nice work getting rid of those Snakes, but we've got a new problem. One of the Snake pits has become really active lately, with large groups of them attacking key Arachnos positions. There's probably some sort of Snake leader in the pit who is directing them against these targets, so we need to take this guy out. Head into the Snake pit and take out the leader and his minions.
Mission Acceptance
These Snakes defend their nests well, so you might want to look for some extra muscle to back you up.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Snake leader and minions
Debrief
So the Snakes had a temple down there? Huh. We ran into Snake priests before, but we never thought they were this dug in. Well, this should keep down the Snake population on Mercy Island - for awhile at least.
You're one tough customer! You should head on over to Port Oakes to see what kind of trouble you can get into there. Talk with Mike the Ear or Drea the Hook when you get there.
