Stage	Status	Description
10		Defeat the White Legs holding the bridge to Pine Creek.

Notes

• This quest is only available if the quest Flight from Zion is active. The location will be empty during the alternative quest Crush the White Legs, apart from any creatures that spawn nearby.
• Occasionally, the Courier will arrive to find the White Legs dead and 1-2 injured Green Geckos.
• It is possible to lead the White Legs through their own bear traps. Getting them to trigger the traps in this way doesn't affect the optional part of the quest, and the ones that are left can be disarmed to complete the optional portion.
