Order No. 047 Walkthrough

List of Objectives
1 Pass Through the Plate Gate and Enter Mexico
2 Find an Item That Has a Connection to Amelie

Pass Through the Plate Gate and Enter Mexico

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1 This order is the game's longest trek, as you will travel across Australia and into Mexico. We recommend using a Tri-Cruiser for transport and bring a PCC to build a Generator, though you'll likely find Generators left by other porters along the way.

Make sure to also stock up on Blood Bags and bringing your new Battle Guitar, as a boss fight awaits.
2
When you're ready, head toward the Plate Gate to Mexico in the southwest corner of the map. You can follow the southern coastline going west and use the icebergs to cut around the rocky mountains.
3
Continue moving west, then take the trail up ahead and make your way north to The Government's Base. Try to avoid the BT Area located south of the base!
4
From The Government's Base, head northwest along the river, then follow the trail south toward the Plate Gate. Proceed past the Terminal to trigger a cutscene, where you're transported back to Mexico.

Find an Item That Has a Connection to Amelie

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Once you're back in Mexico, head northwest to the tar currents near Ciudad Nudo del Norte (C1). You can pass through the Former Geophysics Research Lab and C1 South Distribution Center, then cross the river near the Bandit camp in the jungle. Continue east to reach your destination.
2
At the tar currents, a cutscene will trigger, leading to a boss fight against the Giant Crab BT. This is one of the toughest BT encounters in the game, so get ready!

Target the boss' orange joints on its legs to turn them into chiral crystals. Once you've hit all joints, the boss will collapse, giving you a view of its glowing orange orb on its head. Shoot the orb to deal major damage.

You can check our guide below for more detailed tips on beating the boss.
3
After defeating the Giant Crab BT, continue northwest to Sam's Shelter. Drive through the Old Border, then follow the river going north.
4
Interact with the panel to enter Sam's Shelter. Inside, follow where the imaginary Lou goes. This will then lead to finding a photo inside a kitchen drawer.
5
Head back outside and return to the DHV Magellan, which has landed nearby. Enter your Private Room to complete the order.

How to Beat the Giant Crab BT

How to Beat the Giant Crab BT



Target the Orange Joints to Bring the Boss Down

Death Stranding 2 Giant Crab BT Weak Points

The Giant Crab BT’s weak points are the orange joints on its legs. Aim for them to turn them into chiral crystals. Once all joints are hit, the boss will collapse, exposing a glowing orange orb on its head. Shoot the orb to deal massive damage.

Use Higher Ground for a Better Vantage Point

Death Stranding 2 Higher Ground

When the Giant Crab BT drops, its glowing orange orb on its head can be hard to see from ground level. Climb on top of nearby structures to get a better vantage point of the boss' weak point. Staying elevated also helps you remain mobile compared to being on the tar current.

Shoot the Jellyfish BTs

Death Stranding 2 Jellyfish BTs

The Giant Crab BT's attacks are slow and easy to dodge, but watch out for the Jellyfish BTs it spawns. They follow you and explode on impact. Shoot them before they get too close.

Take Advantage of the Social Strand System

Death Stranding 2 SSS Help

You may find shared items in the battlefield from other porters, thanks to the Social Strand System. Make the most of these by looting items such as Blood Bags and weapons when you're low on resources.

If you're also lucky, another porter can summon ghost-like creatures to help in your fight against the Giant Crab BT.
