Ok we've got Calamusoid's... no one seems to be talking about it much so I'm going to take 2 minutes to give you the broad strokes of what you need to know.
Here's the locations - when you show up a land area outline will appear on your map:
To get those inoculations you need components that you loot of Calamosoids. Keep in mind that if you want to do the mission you'll want to hang on to the materials and let the npc in the lahar service center convert them for you the first time. Otherwise you have to go collect more when you want to complete the mission.
Lahar Swamp Inoculation recipe:
Slap them all in your refiner and there you go. You get a Lahar Swamp Inoculation. It lasts 5 hours or until you die (whichever is first).
Medusa Swamp Inoculation recipe:
Again, slap them all in your refiner and there you go. You get a Medusa Swamp Inoculation. It lasts 5 hours or until you die (whichever is first).
There is a also mission that will give you a free pill of each and a decent free CDI gun.
Here's the outline for that mission:
BooBAM! You got a free gun, probably some Calamusoid giblets and a couple pills. Now you can go into the swamp and take out some of the big boys at Medusa!

Here's the locations - when you show up a land area outline will appear on your map:
- Calamosoids Lvl 5 Shared = 66064, 75123
- Calamosoids Lvl 14 Shared 66049, 75355 (Need a "Lahar Swamp Inoculation" to get in deep and take out the boss)
- Calamosoids Lvl 14-18 = 68225, 84376
- Calamosoids Lvl 40 Shared = NW of 68206, 83747 (Need a "Medusa Swamp Inoculation" to get in deep but you can pull them out 1 by 1 with a bravo)
- Subject SH-30 Lvl 120 = 68079, 83859 (Need a "Medusa Swamp Inoculation" to get here)
To get those inoculations you need components that you loot of Calamosoids. Keep in mind that if you want to do the mission you'll want to hang on to the materials and let the npc in the lahar service center convert them for you the first time. Otherwise you have to go collect more when you want to complete the mission.
Lahar Swamp Inoculation recipe:
- 1 x Calamusoid Skull
- 1 x Calamusoid Blubber
- 1 X Calamusoid Bone
- 1 X Calamusoid Acid Discharge
Slap them all in your refiner and there you go. You get a Lahar Swamp Inoculation. It lasts 5 hours or until you die (whichever is first).
Medusa Swamp Inoculation recipe:
- 1 x Lahar Swamp Inoculation
- 1 x Calamusoid Entrails
Again, slap them all in your refiner and there you go. You get a Medusa Swamp Inoculation. It lasts 5 hours or until you die (whichever is first).
There is a also mission that will give you a free pill of each and a decent free CDI gun.
Here's the outline for that mission:
- Step 1. Go to Fort Lahar and chat with Corporal Krill to get the Piece Of Mind mission (66980, 74869).
- Step 2. Go to the spot that is marked on your map to complete the first step.
- Step 3. You'll be asked to get some implants from the creatures... just keep killing Calmusoids and randomly a popup with some mission text will show up... gotta find 4 of them. You have a chance to re-read them later from the NPC if you don't want to read them at that moment.
- Step 4. Go back to Corporal Krill and you'll be able to do the Sprecre In The Mist mission where you have to chat with the NPC in the service center. They will want all the materials to make a Lahar Pill.
- Step 5. Once they make the pill for you eat it (you may want to make a couple pills) and then go to the waypoint he gives you and you kill the big boss there. You WILL need to be Inoculated to do this (and wear armor before going there!). My strategy was to just run in a circle shooting the bastard. If you stop you'll be swarmed by 1000 Calamusoid that won't let you move.
- Step 6. Once he's dead go back to Corporal Krill and get a free gun. There are 4 to choose from CalyTrek CR Spirit Mk. 1 CDF Edition (L), EWE LC-100 Frontier, CDF Edition (L), Emik Enigma L1, CDF Edition (L), Omegatron Ingi L1000, CDF Edition (L) (specs should all be on the wiki)
BooBAM! You got a free gun, probably some Calamusoid giblets and a couple pills. Now you can go into the swamp and take out some of the big boys at Medusa!
