Starting Location: Ratch’d Up
Find Terry
To start your search for Terry, head into the Main Entrance
and into the Maintenance Room.
Search for Clues
When prompted to find Clues in the area, you will need to press a small button on the wall, emitting a green light behind the bottle of booze.
Search secret Area
Proceed through the red Gate. Pick up the audio recording from the bench on the left if you want to get a little more backstory on this mission.
Investigate Voice
Head through the slimy corridors until you hear a voice over the radio. Check on the big red door in the middle of the area to talk to it.
Open Glenn’s Cell
The voice is someone called Glenn, who awaits Terry’s return – the man we are looking for. Glenn asks us to open his cell door. The button for it is in the middle of the area. Of course, there is no direct way into the section, but we need to circle around a bit, getting rid of some Ratch’ along the way.
Eliminate Ratch Threat
When you head into the big room, you need to clear out the whole area, including two larger Badass enemies.
Talk to Glenn
Once you have cleared the room, press the button and see how Glenn looks like.
Follow Glenn
Follow him back to the console where you’ve just released him. This is also where Terry’s body is located.
Pick up Terry’s Brain
Glenn decides the only reasonable thing to do would be to resurrect his friend with a Ratch body. So he eats the corpse, leaving only his brain back.
Lower Cage
Head back to the middle of the area and press the lever next to the Cage to release Gary.
Kill Gary
Gary will be dropped down, but eventually come back to the same level you are on. That’s a way to avoid the other enemies down below. First you can take him out on the upper floor, and then drop down to finish up the rest.
Place Terry’s Brain
Once you are in the control room, place his brain on the device on the desk to start the resurrection.
Resurrect Terry
This ticks off automatically, once the small sequence is over.
Talk to Terry
You can now bring to good news to Terry that he is still very much alive – just with another body.
Talk to Glenn
Head back to Glenn to claim your reward for this bizarre mission.
