Guide to completing The Outer Worlds' Canid's Cradle quest. Learn how to get the targeting module and choose to side with MSI or the Iconoclasts.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate the UDL shipwreck in the southwestern Sulfur Pits, between Terra One Publications and Cascadia. Expect respawned enemies like raptidons and mantids.
- 2Fight your way to the gunship, enter it, and loot corporate corpses.
- 3Interact with a terminal and select 'Eject Captain Matsu’s Command Key'.
- 4With the key, proceed southwest, climb a ladder, and enter another door.
- 5Approach the locked targeting module. Press two switches to open the containment unit and collect the Targeting Module.
Quest Resolution Options:
- Siding with MSI: Give the targeting module to Sanjar. This initiates a large combat sequence against the Iconoclasts in the ruins west of Stellar Bay. Fight through the ruins, across bridges, and into the abandoned church to defeat Graham and/or Zora. Return to Sanjar for XP, 2,188 Bits, and the MSI Saltuna Searer (unique flamethrower).
- Siding with the Iconoclasts: Give the targeting module to Graham. This leads to a prolonged combat sequence assisting the Iconoclasts from Amber Heights to Stellar Bay, engaging MSI troopers. Fight west through the southern ruins, across bridges, and confront Sanjar. Return to Graham for XP, 2,188 Bits, and The Good Word (unique light machinegun).
- Negotiating a Truce: This is only possible if you completed 'Sucker Bait' and ousted Graham in favor of Zora, and if you read Sanjar’s review on the terminal in the ARMS building during 'BOLT with His Name'. If these conditions are met, you can attempt to negotiate peace between MSI and the Iconoclasts. If a truce fails, you must exterminate one side.
Tips
- When fighting Iconoclasts (MSI quest), use corrosive or n-ray weapons, but be cautious of n-ray splash damage affecting allies.
- Iconoclast Revolutionaries carry heavy weapons; prioritize them. Luring them to the entrance of the church and using area-of-effect attacks can be effective.
- When fighting MSI (Iconoclast quest), watch out for technicians using plasma launchers.
- If Graham is in charge of the Iconoclasts, Sanjar will refuse to negotiate.
