Things to bring[]

Use the giga to scan the checkpoints, then dismount once you get to the flowers. Use the tek gauntlets or another weapon to destroy the flowers and grab them. The tek helmet will prevent you from taking poison damage, and the gauntlets can be used to bypass the slowness effect. The cactus broth will cause the mission creatures to ignore you. For the end section, use the trick where you pull out your map mid punch and glide to the checkpoints for a quick and easy escape.
