Starting Location: The Power Ballad of Rodd Vomit
This mission starts in an underground cave, the entrance is slightly west of the mission icon. Inside the cave talk to the woman.
Talk to Lisa
Talk to the quest giver again. She explains that she needs help finding a new member for her band.
Take digi-dongle
Take the item Lisa offers you.
Rough up singer
One of the singers who came in for an audition doesn’t take kindly to Lisa’s rejection. She starts to attack you, deplete her health so she calms down.
Use digi-dongle
Stick the dongle onto the singer. This will knock her out.
Recruit talent for Thrum Dumpster
You must go to the 3 quest markers to recruit the 3 band members: Big Suck, Crunch Tongue, Calhoun.
Find Sketch Calhoun / Find back door to club / Mosh Moshers / Help Sketch Calhoun mosh / Hurt Sketch Calhoun a lot / Digi-dongle Sketch Calhoun
We will start with the marker in the north. Approach the big gate, but it will be locked.
You need to approach the area from the south to reach the back entrance, the location line will show the path. Go through the gate there.
Inside approach the stage to find Calhoun. Then kill the rippers who attack you.
After a while Calhoun will turn hostile, defeat him, then place the dongle on him.
Find Big Suck / Check distress signal / Hurt Big Suck a lot / Digi-dongle Big Suck
Next up is the southmost marker. If you’ve unlocked the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse you can fast travel there.
When you get close to the area, approach the petrol station by the road. The distress signal turns out to be an ambush, defeat Big Suck and his friends. Then use the dongle on him.
Find Crunch Tongue / Use the Horn That Blows / Kill pangolins / Blow horn again
Lastly, we have the south-east marker. When you approach, you see Crunch and his men. They invite you to go “hunting”.
Use the big horn across from Crunch. Then some pangolins come out of the cave, kill them. Then blow the horn again. Now Crunch can be attacked. Deplete his health and use the dongle on him too.
Return to Lisa / Talk to Lisa
Go back to the quest giver and talk to her to begin the show.
Watch sound check
Enjoy the show. It takes 2 minutes.
Kill talent
Lisa doesn’t like the performance. Kill the rippers you recruited.
Talk to Lisa
Talk to the quest giver once again to end the quest.
