Need help with the 'Burying The Past' side mission in Borderlands 2's Captain Scarlett DLC? Follow our guide to find explosives, deal with Stalkers and Sand Worms, and blow up the Kronus.

Alright, let's tackle another side mission in the Captain Scarlett DLC: 'Burying The Past'. This one's all about making something disappear permanently. ## Walkthrough ### Objectives Here's what you need to do: * Pick-up explosives * Place explosives on the _Kronus_ * Blow the _Kronus_ to Hell ### Strategy First off, you'll need to grab some explosives. Aubrey Callahan III has stashed them in a wrecked boat south of the Oasis township. Keep an eye out, though – there are some nasty stalkers "Stalker (enemy)") hanging around that stash. They're not too tough, especially if you're in a vehicle with some decent weaponry. Once you've got the explosives, you need to take them to the wreck of the _Kronus_. The path there is guarded by [sand worms](https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Sand_Worm "Sand Worm"), but again, vehicular weapons should make short work of them. After you've planted the explosives on the _Kronus_, you'll need a detonator to set them off. This is conveniently located in a nearby [sand pirate](https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Sand_Pirate "Sand Pirate") encampment. Don't worry too much about this part; the pirates there are pretty standard and not in large numbers. ### Completion Once everything's blown sky-high, you'll get a message saying, _"With her great-grandma erased from history, Aubrey can now attempt to live a normal life, free of child-schmafficking."_ Just head back to the Oasis Bounty Board to turn in the mission. ## Notes * Mission Item: Explosives - The flavor text for these is _"Sometimes you just need to blow stuff up."_ * There's a discoverable [Vault symbol](https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Cult_of_the_Vault "Cult of the Vault") on the hull of the _Kronus_. Definitely worth looking for if you're a completionist!
