  • Accumulation pieces: For this part you will need the Abomination Head Hood upgrade for Ol'Tessie. Afterwards, use the beam to shoot down any purple ether flora as you travel between any two locations. You will be able to get pieces of the treasure from them along with trophies.
  • Mysterious limb: Once Zursa appears on the map, use Ol'Tessie's beam attack to kill her. This will leave you with a Mysterious Limb.
  • Mushrooms: Enter the main cabin at Blackwater Lake and you will find a spore jar. You won't be able to see the jar (possibly because of the bug), but it is in the sink on the south wall of the kitchen. If you don't see the jar, just interact with the top right corner of the shell and keep checking your inventory. Place the jar on the dead horse on the road in front of Vandoorne Farm and wait three rounds for the mushroom to grow.
  • Eyes of the Ravager: You'll have to put the Ravager through a saw trap to get his eyes. You can find the Saw Trap at Exit 115. Just activate it when there are Ravagers around you and the first one will lower its eyes if killed.
  • Sole: There are a couple of corpses hanging at the main entrance to Vandoorne Farm. Use the Tomahawk on any of them to get a Corpse Leg.
  • Powder: Travel to Ashwood, where the mirror is located. Use the Wisp to activate the mirror and then break it Necrofluidic Gauntlet to obtain powder.
  • Syringe: The syringe is on a shelf inside the radio room at the Zarya cosmodrome.
