Defeat the third wave of mirelurks and its leader.

(Conditional) Kill the queen summoned if the mirelurks reach the island.

Detailed walkthrough

At least one player must reach the island in the center of Grafton Lake to initialize the event. Three waves of mirelurks and mirelurk hunters will spawn around Pioneer Scout camp and make their way towards the island. Players must prevent the creatures from reaching the island by defeating them before they come ashore. If all enemy waves are defeated before they can reach the island, the event will complete, granting full rewards.

If at any point should a mirelurk reach the island, a mirelurk queen will be summoned. Once the queen and all other mirelurks are defeated, the event will complete, granting partial rewards

Rewards

(5) mirelurk eggs

Notes

If the mirelurks are not stopped and the queen is summoned, the rewards for completing the event are greatly diminished. For example, no Treasury Notes are given.
The mirelurk queen may be difficult to kill due to its large health pool, ranged poison damage attacks and ability to create mirelurk spawn.

Bugs

The mirelurk queen may spawn on the island immediately at the start of the event, causing the event to partially fail. No treasury notes will be granted upon completion.^[verified]
