To Start

  • You will need to meet this criteria before you can start this quest:
    • Have completed the "General Tso's Chicken" quest
    • Have completed the "Alms for the Pudgy" quest
  • Start this quest at this location:
    • Homeschool's Arrow Cannon

Part One: Beetleman

  • At Homeschool's base in Arbenager Village, you will see the statue of a beetle. It may not seem important, but it is! Use Marzipan's guitar to wake it up, and you will be thrown into an impossible battle with it. There is no way to win unless you use Homestar's Star Power. It will explode and leave a hole just big enough for The Cheat to squeeze into. You now can control only The Cheat. Jump into the hole.

Part Two: Spiders vs. Scorpions

  • You will be in a farmilliar atmosphere. You were here in Stingers for Gavin! Go to the captain's room again, and talk to him. The Scorpions have triumphed over the Mantises due to a traitor Mantis giving them info, and now the Spiders have come to avenge the Mantises. He will tell you to go below deck for a raid... Again. There is a powerful-looking mantis close to your boat, and Trunbirge is there, too. Get into your boat to start the raid!

Part Three: El Raido

  • This is similar to the previous raid, except this time instead of Bomb Claws you have the chain. Swing it with Decline to hurt Spider boats around you. Also, you can use the Paintbrush from "Alms for the Pudgy" quest to signal Jet Mantis and Trunbirge to execute a combined attack, destroying everything on the screen. After a while, prepare for a decent fight... 
Arak the Pirate
HP: 4000
Attacks: Shredder Leg, Torpedo, Magic Bolt, Shock Cannon
Strategy: This boss has eight legs coming from its torso, in addition to the ones it uses to walk.
You must damage it by destroying each leg, which has 500 HP. The Paintbrush does not work, so the
only way to damage them is to swing the chain when he is using Shredder Leg. It will damage each one
for about 50 a swing, so this will be a long fight. Dodge the Shredder Leg by swinging your chain
while swimming in a counter-clockwise pattern around him. Torpedoes cannot be dodged. Magic Bolt is
easy, just let it target you and quickly move out of the way. Shock Cannon won't reach you if you are
at the exact center of the bottom of the screen.

Part Four: Where's Gavin?

  • The ship will explode revealing a UFO that flies away. Too bad. But all of the other ships retreat, and you won! You will appear back at the ship, and the captain will congratulate you on your leadership. He will also give you a strange balloon he found, and a piece of Shiny Loot- The Exo-Scarab! If you grab onto the ground level with your chain, you can pull yourself up. If you have the Captain's Hat for Homsar, you can hide under it right over the hole, and you can hear the scorpions say something interesting about Gavin-he's somewhere in Qhagur Ruins.
