- Din takes peli’s speeder bike and meets with tusken raiders for help locating mos pelgo
- Cobb Vanth the towns marshall arrives in boba fetts armor. Din demands he remove it and they strike a bargain to trade the armor for killing a krayt dragon that torments the town
- Cobb reveals he bought the armor from Jawas and used its weapons to fight off the Mining Collective that overtook the town after the collapse of the Empire.
- On the way to the dragon’s lair, Vanth and the Mandalorian encounter a tribe of Tusken Raiders, who agree to help them kill the dragon.
- One of the Tuskens is killed trying to lure the dragon out, and the Mandalorian volunteers the Mos Pelgo townspeople as reinforcements. Vanth and the Mandalorian convince the townsfolk to work with the Tuskens, who agree not to attack the town in exchange for the dragon’s carcass.
- Together, the Tuskens and the townsfolk bury explosives in front of the cave, planning to lure the dragon out and detonate them beneath its vulnerable belly. The dragon survives the explosion and it spews acid at them, inflicting heavy casualties.
- The Mandalorian baits the dragon into swallowing him and a bantha loaded with explosives. He escapes from inside the dragon and detonates the explosives, successfully killing it.
- The Tuskens butcher the carcass and discover a valuable pearl. Vanth relinquishes the armor as promised, and the Mandalorian leaves on friendly terms. Meanwhile, a heavily scarred figure (boba fett) watches from afar.
