In the universe of The Outer Worlds 2, survival often equates to making a quick profit. This sentiment is palpably echoed in the quest titled Perilous Journey To The Grove, which players can embark on early in the game.
This particular quest is relatively straightforward, though players may occasionally struggle with navigation to the quest location. If you require assistance in navigating, I’ve prepared a detailed guide for you.

Completing Perilous Journey To The Grove

The Perilous Journey To The Grove quest is optional in The Outer Worlds 2. Players risk missing out on this quest if they bypass conversations with the locals in the Fairfield settlement. As is common in RPGs, engaging with characters can lead to rewarding experiences that enhance your gameplay.

Your first task is to locate Huell Chaudry, a rather eccentric salesman clad in a cheap suit. He can be found near the infirmary and bounty terminal, marked clearly on your map.
Huell is in distress, as his business partner Jackson has gone missing while searching for a particular schematic they need for a new product. Once you agree to search for Jackson, a new map marker will appear, guiding you toward your next objective.

As you make your way to the location, you’ll encounter a tall mountain that may seem daunting. The best course of action is to navigate around the mountain toward the right side, as the left path is obstructed by steep cliffs that are nearly impossible to traverse.
Upon arrival, you will hear shouts and witness Jackson leap from a harvester, only to meet a grim fate. Unfortunately, he doesn’t survive the fall.
Two other individuals at the top will shout for assistance to return safely to the ground. This will initiate a new quest titled A Final Death For Gravity, which is definitely worth pursuing.

After looting Jackson’s body, you’ll discover the schematic Huell desperately sought, along with the P. A.L. E.boots—items of significant value for the subsequent quest.
To conclude the Perilous Journey To The Grove, return to Huell with the unfortunate news, thereby wrapping up this quest.
Quest Rewards

Despite the tragic outcome for Jackson, Huell ensures that your efforts are not entirely unrewarded. Upon completion of the quest, you will receive:
- 180 XP
- 350 Bit Cartridges (Currency)
Though the rewards are modest, the significant benefit of this mission is the activation of the A Final Death For Gravity quest, which offers far more lucrative rewards. It’s highly recommended to tackle that quest next!
