After completing 'New Targets', you'll receive the quest 'Water Fat'. For this quest we need to head out into the World Map and find the location of the Water Shipper’s Mansion.
This quest is quite similar to A Sign From Above, we'll be required to travel to a World Map location and complete a solo scenario. This quest is somewhat unique however, in that it is actually a stealth mission.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Water Fat quest and point out any locations, items or tips that might help!

Water Fat Quest Location
First up, we need to head to the World Map. If you’ve just accepted the quest, then head out of Arrakeen into the World Map and open the map view (open with M when on the World Map). You'll see the “Water Shipper’s Mansion” location just below Arrakeen.
Once you arrive, you will be prompted to make sure you are ready, as this is a “dungeon” quest. Hit ok to begin.
Getting Inside
While we are confronted with a rather menacing-looking building, there is an easy way in. Just head to the scaffolding highlighted above. Use your Full Suspensor Belt to go around the spotlights.
Once we get over the first wall, we now face a bigger issue. Getting past even more spotlights. The game doesn’t make it obvious, but our contact is the gentleman directly in front of us to the left (circled above) in front of the door.
Next, we have two options:
The Cave: The safest option is to head to the cave network under the Mansion and enter via the escape tunnel, as you can see above.
Head back to the vantage point on top of the wall, take out the guard in the “tower,” and then run along the wall to the cave entrance to avoid most of the spotlights.
Scaffolding/Back Entrance: The second option is to once again use the scaffolding at the back of the base. This is considered the harder option because it’s not as obvious where it is. However, if you keep travelling past the cave entrance and stick to the rock face, you will make it.
Use the quest icon on the compass as a guide. Once you get close, your contact will tell you to look for “a maintenance hatch.” At this point, come up the cliff and head to the location. There's a bunch of spotlights here, so be sure to take cover.
Poisoning the Water
Now we need to fulfil our job, poison the water and take out our target. From the point of view where we land in the room, we need to head to the door on the right. Ideally, we need to do this without being seen. It’s fairly simple.
Escaping!
Now it’s time to get out of there. A number of enemies will now spawn in the rooms around you as we escape via Ornithopter.
Head into the open “dew farm” and find the Ornithopter to the right. Simply click on it to escape and complete the mission.
Returning to Elara Tuek
The game doesn’t make this part that clear; however, the goal is to get “far away from the Mansion.” Basically we need to just to head back to Elara Tuek at Harko Village and hand the quest in.
Once you start to get close to her, the quest will officially complete, prompting you to return to her, so it just saves some time heading to her right away.
Doing so will trigger the next quest, 'Last Target'.
