East Caribbea

While in the East Caribbea, players will need to gain 15 Reputation, and then enter the locked room in The Royal Blue to get the Piston's Palace Key. Head to the mission that lets you fight Piston (who drops a great hat), and kill him. The Glow Rod is given to players after escaping.
