How to Unlock Burden of Command and Location
Can Be Started in Scalding Spear
Players must have completed the Side Quest The Gate of the Vanquished first before they can trigger this Errand. Whoever you side with in that quest will be who gives the player this Errand.
If starting this Errand directly after The Gate of the Vanquished, you must allow for several hours to pass before you can talk with the survivor for the Errand – you can do this by sitting at a Shelter and choosing to change time for several hours.

How to Complete
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Meet with YaraAfter receiving the Errand from Yarra, you will then have to meet with her southwest of Scalding Spear. When you arrive at the area, you will then actually have to search for her – use your Focus to find her crouching behind a slope waiting for you. |
| 2 |  Follow the TrailAfter meeting with Yara, use your Focus to look for a Trail. There is a bird nearby on some rocks that you can use as a starting point – follow the Trail after discovering it. |
| 3 |  Defeat the Thunderjaw and StormbirdAt the end of the Trail, you will find the missing child hiding inside of a ruin. A Thunderjaw will then come for a fight – later on, a Stormbird will appear as well. |
| 4 |  Return to the ChildAfter taking down both Machines, return to Yarra and the child. Talk to them to end the Errand. |
Tips and Strategies
Use Acid Arrows
Both Machines that come after you are very strong and incredibly difficult to deal with. Thankfully, both Machines are weak against Acid – use Acid Arrows, or any other munition you may have that deals Acid Damage, to quickly Tear off components from both Machines.
Use the Thunderjaw's Disc Launcher
When the Stormbird comes, it is best to take care of the Thunderjaw as quickly as possible. Before completely destroying it however, make sure to Tear off the Disc Launcher it has to provide yourself with a Heavy Weapon. Make use of this weapon on the Stormbird then to quickly end its life.
