Mission Overview

Pearson invites Arthur to help him search for crayfish in the swamps near Shady Belle.

Story

Pearson and Arthur row to the swamp east of Shady Belle to search for crayfish. After finding a few, Pearson notices some alligators and tells Arthur to collect some of their eggs while Pearson is distracting them. After finding some eggs, the duo returns to Shady Belle and Arthur will give Pearson one gator egg.

Trivia

• You can also kill the gators instead of waiting for Pearson to distract them. They will charge at the player so you may need special ammo to kill them quickly. Pearson will be angry and wait for you at the boat, however the mission will still proceed as though you followed Pearson's instructions.
• If you have completed Algernon Wasp's mission "Duchesses and other Animals" which involves collecting gator eggs, Arthur will note they have met already.
• The player can collect up to 11 gator eggs, but at the end of the mission, one will automatically be given to Pearson from their collection.
