Bywater
When you wake up change the radio channel to 61 (but do be sure to listen to channel 47 every morning too) and have a chat with Casey. He will tell you that the next pump regulator is in Bywater.
Against the trend you might see forming with the missions here, you actually won’t need to get into a big gunfight with The Tower in Bywater. You could if you wanted to, of course, but you can easily get the Pump Regulator without antagonizing anyone, at least not physically, emotionally maybe.
So you won’t need a big shotgun or anything this time around. You will be fighting walkers though, possibly a big group of them, so an explosive like the Nail Bomb might be a good idea, but that’s up to you. The combat can be very minimal if you’re willing to do a bit of errand running.
As always, take a look at your map when you arrive at Bywater. Your overall goal is the building colored blue with the fish on it. That’s the cannery, and the part is on the second floor. You could just go straight there and enter through the half open loading dock around the back, but there’s a problem with that.
There’s some walkers there. If you brought that nail bomb you could just throw it at the base of the door and take out most of them, then waltz in, climb over the machinery on your left, find your way to the staircase, and climb up to get the pump regulator sitting on the folding table with the tarp over it on the catwalk above. Once you have the regulator you can leave and skip ahead to installing it. Of course that would mean missing the entire story of this area, and it’s a fun and heartwarming bit of drama.
So if it’s your first time you’re better off going to the front of the big orange building on your map. That’s the car repair shop. Out front there’ll be a bald guy in a red Reclaimed jacket calling you over. Talk to him.
He’ll tell you to meet him around the back of the building, so go around the big orange building and meet up with him around back. He’ll be on the street that runs along the top of the Autorepair shop. On your map he will be directly North of the building. You can always restart the level and follow him if you’re having trouble finding him. On your way there you should take a little time to go through the Autorepair shop and loot it. There’s some Reclaimed inside, but they won’t stop you.
Talk to the Bald Guy again and he’ll tell you to deliver a letter (in exchange for help getting the pump parts) to his lover Justin, who happens to be part of the Tower garrison in the nearby Sawmill. The Sawmill is the building marked orange with a drawing of planks on it on your map. Head over there with the letter.
Oh, and be sure to loot the Sawmill while you’re there. The Tower soldiers won’t bother you. There is a spot that is consistently great throughout The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners and the Chapter 2: Retribution sequel here. In the back of the warehouse, behind some pallets of wood, is a gross looking bed with some pillows on it. You’ll always find at least one box of loot there, so check it every time you visit Bywater.
The guy you’re looking for is in the elevated trailer with the Lumber sign on the side, beside the main warehouse of the sawmill. There’s a woman standing next to a shipping container in front of it as well.
You can extort an item out of Justin by demanding that he hand something over in return for the delivery. Either way when you give him the letter he will be overjoyed. He will give you a letter to deliver back to Davon. Here is where your options expand a little. When you leave the woman outside will stop you and ask you to deliver a fake letter saying that Justin is unwilling to leave the Tower and risk his life. So now you can either deliver the real letter so the two can reunite, or deliver the fake letter so they stay where they are. There’s also a third option. Going to the Reclaimed leader inside the Autorepair Shop.
You can tell the local Reclaimed leader that your bald friend is making contact with the enemy. Just be sure to not demand payment for the information or he will tell you to go away. In response the leader will run over to Davon and immediately shoot him. It’s an interesting option, but it is easier to just give Davon a letter and let him hand the key over to you. Either way, if you talk to Justin and get his reply then killing Davon will cause the Poseidon Cannery Key to drop from his corpse. If you kill Davon before getting Justin’s reply, then he won’t drop the key and you can’t get it.
Giving either letter to Davon will net you one Poseidon Cannery Key, which you can use to go through the door leading directly to the warehouse, bypassing the big group of zombies in front of the loading bay door. Let the lovers unite, or force them apart, the choice is yours. Either way make your way to the cannery and use the key on the double door leading inside.
Make your way through the stacks of boxes, and be sure to keep a lookout for cans of Poseidon Tuna, which contain a good amount of protein that you can use for making food items like the Jambalaya (which you’ll get soon). Find your way to the staircase leading upstairs and take it up. Take a sharp right turn at the top of the stairs to find the Pump Parts and a bunch of other items arrayed on a table.
With the parts in hand, head back to the Resting Place.
Installing the Second Pump
Back at the Resting Place, make sure to scrap your loot and then hop back on the radio to talk with Casey. He’ll run you through how to set up the second pump regulator just like last time. Once all the numbers are green and the button is too, say goodbye to Casey, make sure to grab a big gun like a shotgun or rifle, and head back to the church.
Once you’re there you can see the location of the second pump on your map, it is the pump icon that is closer to the top. Otherwise you can find it by going straight down the central road and take a left as soon as the road gives way to the churchyard. You will see the blinking red light of the pump around the corner, but you will also hear voices.
Crouch and sneak closer around the corner. Three armed people will be crowded around the pump regulator, talking to each other. If they see you they will fire, so take the first shot. Also you can use a nail bomb or sticky bomb to take out several at once.
Once they’re dealt with, pop the pump regulator into the appropriate slot. Once the light is green you’re good to head back to the bus and sleep before taking on another day.
