Once ready, fast-travel to the Highlands and make your way to the marked location. After reaching the Wildlife Preserve, reach Mordecai in his hideout and talk to him. Once done, head to the shipping yard destroy the initial batch of loaders. Activate the gate to trigger the alarm then fall back and destroy the loaders so the system calls in the reinforcements.
Inside the shipyard are more loaders and hyperion engineers. Get rid of them and before moving forth, look above the laser-blocked warehouse to the east to find a red generator on the rooftop. Destroy it to access the loot box inside.
Continue to the skag breeding ground and fight your way to the observation building, where the first note for the optional mission "Doctor's Orders" is located. Make your way to the marked location to go inside the building. You'll find two slag samples inside. For your bonus objective, you have to find 10 of these.
Head outside and continue destroying loaders and stalkers, including a Super Badass Loader. Once the coast is clear, head inside the Specimen Maintenance building. Enter the open room to the west near the sign that says "Bloodwing" to find a slag sample and another note for the mission "Doctor's Orders".
Enter Bloodwing's enclosure and pick up the feather on the ground. The other enclosures will be opened as well so prepare to repel the released beasts that will come after you.
Make your way around the enclosure and grab two more slag samples in the newly opened rooms. Head outside and check the opening of the sewer to find another slag sample. Head northwest then climb up the walkway.
Continue until you reach the next open enclosure and fend off the skag attacks. Head to the building and get rid of the guards. Examine the button behind the experimental greeter to reveal a safe containing of the notes for the optional mission "Doctor's Orders".
Continue past the lobby where you got the third note until you reach a warehouse. There are two more slag samples inside the control room. Clear the area and climb up the walkway.
At the end of the tunnel above is a storage area full of hyperion loaders and engineers. Pull down the lever to release the stalkers. Once the area is clear of both enemies, find the last note on the last cell.
Continue to the last area to find the last two slag samples then take the lift down to the Observation Wing.
Here you'll have to fight the Slagged Bloodwing. She switches elements from time to time and the douchebag Jack will release skags to join the fray. Use your action skills as often as you can then use accurate, long-range weapons to deal damage while she's flying away.
Be careful of her dive-bomb attack since it can deal significant damage, even instantly take out your shields if you're near the explosion. Mordecai will give you hints with her attacks.
Slagged Bloodwing
After defeating her, grab the chip from her collar and return to Sanctuary. Don't worry about enemy reinforcements; Mordecai will clear the path up for you. Give Claptrap his upgrade then give him a high-five when he raises his arm to unlock a Trophy. Turn in the mission to Roland to complete it.
High Five!
