This level offers two additional quests, which will be your final chronological tasks in the game. One is called “Friends in the Deep,” and the other is called “Slugs in a Shell.” We’ve compiled all the information you need!
How to start the Friends in the Deep quest
Before you can begin this side mission, you must unlock the main mission “Gurgles from the Deep.” After that, you need to speak with the most obnoxious character near the detective’s office —conspiracy theorist Cameron Bozo. He’s located near the Little & Big bar, directly across from the door leading to Jack Pepper’s office.
He’ll ask you to look for his friend in a picturesque location with the strange name of Blowing Bay. Jack will automatically take up the task.
How to complete the “Friends in the Deep” quest
Eventually, as you progress through the main story mission, you’ll assemble a deep-sea diving suit to embark on an underwater adventure . Unfortunately, instead of singing crabs and mermaids, you’ll encounter dozens of enemies and several giant, poisonous anglerfish.
You’ll have to navigate through several toxic areas: shoot the glowing elements on the anglerfish’s heads to temporarily neutralize the poison and move on. After a few such instances, you’ll reach an area deep within which lies a giant anglerfish skeleton.
Look up, just behind the skeleton. There’s a raised platform you can jump onto. Use the rocks below the ledge to double jump, then look to the left to find a cave you can enter.
Inside, you’ll see a sleepy guy lying unconscious on a comfortable mattress. Wake him up and talk to him. He’s Cameron’s friend Bozo. After confirming he’s alive, you can complete the story mission and return to the detective’s office.
Reward
Once you reach the detective’s office, tell Cameron Bozo everything. He’s in the same place as before. Cameron will be happy to hear that his friend is still alive. As a reward, Bozo will give you a new baseball card, which is necessary for collecting all the collectibles in the game.
