West Of Loathing Pickle Factory Complete Location And Quest Guide

The Abandoned Pickle Factory in West of Loathing offers one of the most intriguing puzzle-heavy quests in the game. Located in the dusty expanses of the kingdom, this facility requires players to balance machinery settings rather than rely purely on brute force. Understanding how to unlock the site, solve its environmental puzzles, and claim your rewards ensures a smooth playthrough.

Finding the Abandoned Pickle Factory

Unlocking the location requires taking on the Dirtwater Jailhouse bounty poster for The Gherkin Brothers. Once accepted, the factory will appear on your world map for exploration. Approaching the front doors triggers a brief vision that provides vital clues regarding the factory settings.

Solving the Cuke and Salt Puzzles

Inside the facility, players must configure three distinct processing rooms to restore power and operations. In the Cuke room, adjust the levers until all three shunts align equally at level 11. Moving to the Salt room, adjust the salinity controls to achieve a precise target reading of 976.

Managing the Boiler and Completing the Quest

The final puzzle takes place in the boiler room, where you must regulate the internal temperature. Add coal and operate the bellows until the heat reaches exactly 190 degrees. After aligning all three rooms, pull the main activation lever in the central hub room to receive your ghost pickles and complete the bounty.
