Snaxburg Isn't Safe, also referred to as The Intruder, is the third event of the main quest. It becomes available after getting Cromdo, Chandlo and Snorpy back to Snaxburg.

Break Time!

Filbo tells The Journalist that they have been working hard and should consider their own well-being as well. As such, Filbo suggests to go rest in Snaxburg for a while. Relaxing in Lizbert and Eggabell's hut abruptly comes to an end with a scream of Beffica and Filbo standing in the door entrance that they better check it out.

The Intruder!

Everyone is gathered at-and facing the town entrance. When the Journalist joins them, Filbo asks what took place. A frightened Beffica and Gramble speak of a Grumpus-like creature entering town and falling apart in scattering Bugsnax. Tension runs high as Snorpy and Wiggle are concerned with their own theories, Cromdo accuses Beffica of lying for drama and Wambus blames Gramble's lack of sleep in him hallucinating which has them get physical with each other and are seperated by Chandlo.

Filbo requests the Journalist to check out the Outhouse and look around for more evidence to confirm what the pair had seen.

Break Time!

Filbo is at it again. He seems to want to talk to me about something.

TheIntruder

Objectives: Filbo wants to talk to you!

After the Journalist agrees to take a break upon Filbo's advice, it is cut short with the screaming of Beffica. Filbo comes to tell you to come join him to 'check it out'. The whole town is gathered at the town entrance.

Icon QuestWe've almost got everybody.
You're doin' a great job, Buddy! But hey, don't forget to take care of yourself. In fact, maybe you should turn in early today and just relax!
Icon QuestGood idea!
Maybe later...
*The Journalist wakes up from a scream*
*Beffica screams*
Something's wrong, Buddy. We better take a look.
*Walk over to the town entrance*
Beffica, Gramble, what happened?
W-we saw something real spooky walk right into town!
I thought it was a Grumpus at first, but, like, something about it was...wrong!
Was this creature wearing a crown by any chance?
Or was it perhaps holding some sort of ceremonial dagger?
What? No, nothing like that. It looked kinda normal until it, uhm...until it...
It turned into a bunch of Bugsnax and, like, scattered!
Frankly, I find that hard to swallow.
Nah, what a load, Beff! Not enough drama around town for ya lately, eh?
Zonk off, Cromdo! Unlike you, I don't lie for a living.
Oh ho ho, wow! So tell me, then, what were you doing skulkin' around at midnight? Breaking into huts...AGAIN?
I seen it, too! And this time I know it's not just one of my nightmares!
Get some grumping sleep, Gramble.
I CAN'T! Not with all-a-y'all round here with your HUNGRY MOUTHS!
Don't take this the wrong way, darling, but you ARE a bit high-strung. A little beauty sleep would do you wonders.
Heh...Maybe then you'd finally let us eat a few pets!
You say that again!
*slap fighting*
*slap fighting*
WHOA! Hey! Chill the grump out, bros!
There's no need for all that. If what Gramble n' Beffica are sayin' is true, there's gotta be some physical evidence left behind, yeah?
Indeed! We should sweep the perimeter, and keep watch in case the creature returns!
Um, good idea. Buddy, do you think you can scope out the restroom? You know. Find out what they saw?

The Intruder! part 2[]

The Intruder!

Beffica and Gramble claim they saw a monster[1], If that's true, I should be able to find evidence of its presence.

TheIntruder2

Objectives:
  • Scan the area for clues. (6/6)
  • Talk to Filbo.

The Journalist is required to find evidence of cryptid activity to figure out what Beffica and Gramble had seen. They need to scan their findings with the SnaxScope.

  • Approaching the Outhouse they find tracks that change from Grumpus' paws to something different.
  • At the back of the 'Snaxburg' welcome sign it states "No More Bugsnax".
  1. scan1="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_PawPrints.xml"
  2. scan2="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_PawPrints2.xml"
  3. scan3="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_BugPrints.xml"
  4. scan4="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_Door.xml"
  5. scan5="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_Tool.xml"
  6. scan6="Content/Definitions/Environment/Intruder_Lock.xml"

During the scoping out, The Journalist can have a short chat with everyone.

Hey...uh...Buddy. Sorry, I can't stand it when everybody fights. I hope this is over soon.
Might wanna get outta town for a hot minute or two, let things cool down. Judgin' by history, if this keeps up we're due for a fistfight.
This whole mess is a waste of time. I bet Gramble just had a bad dream and he spooked Beffica while he was at it.
I believe our time here is running out, Darling. I better find my inspiration soon...I just hope my poor, dear Gramble and his Bugsnax are alright...
What a bummer, Bro, I thought Snaxburg would be better this time.
I'm not back five minutes and we're in a crisis! Grumpinati sabotage in action! Has Floofty been around? My sibling has long been prone to such sinister deeds and sneakery.
Heh! Hoaxes are a dime a dozen, Pal...And even if they aren't fakin' it, those two ain't exactly the most, uh, reliable witnesses if ya catch my drift.
My heart's pounding like crazy! You believe me, don't you, Bestie?
I'm so tired... but so, so scared. I just wish I could rest easy for once.
You found what you were looking for? Alright, I'll call everybody together!
Icon QuestYes, I'm ready.
Not just yet.

The Intruder! Part 3[]

Everyone gathers to hear it from the Journalist themself.

Well? W-w-what did you find?
There are tracks that aren't quite Grumpus.
Something left a deadly message behind.
It's probably aliens.
Well, that's...ugh...I-I reckon there's gotta be some other explanation-
Cram it, Wambone! We've got a genuine monster on our paws!
Hm, monster's a bit of a prejudicial term, doncha think? I'd call it more of a cryptid or undiscovered animal!
It's no animal, darling. We're witnessing the Queen of Bugsnax in action. She's giving us a warning.
Oh, that is absurd! Which is more likely? That a so-far unseen giant Bugsnak politely left a note on our door- -oooor that this is some form of coordinated gaslighting by the Grump-
What's more likely, dear, is that you've watched far too many movies.
At least my theory has scientific data behind it! Whereas you haven't even drawn one chart!
I was TOP of the charts, thank you!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You know what? Let's split the difference, eh? You're both wrong!
Urgh, what does it even matter? Whatever it is, it wants us dead.
Between this and the earthquakes, Snaxburg's becomin' pretty unlivable.
I hate to say it, bro, but I regret comin' down from the mountain. Me and Snorpy were a lot safer before we came back.
Same goes for me and my little ones!
Oh, no, no! We shouldn't split up again. We're better off if we're all here together!
That mighta been true when Lizbert was around, but those days're long gone.
Y-you don't know that. She might come back!!
*scoffs* Don't hold your breath, pal.
Face it, Filbo. Without Lizbert, all we have is YOU.
That's...that's not true...Listen, I don't know why Lizbert put me in charge, but I do know this. None of you were really happy out there alone. We don't have Lizbert... but we have each other. Maybe, if we try, we could all add up to one of her.
Ugh, I guess you're not wrong.
Sooooo we're all stayin' in town, then?
Seems like it. Long as we can watch each others' backs.
If we're gonna make it, we need everybody here. Floofty and Shelda are still out there, a-and who knows if they're safe?
If you must find Floofty, according to the tracking device I placed on them, they're out by Boiling Bay.
And last time I saw Shelda, she was meditating in the Sizzlin' Sands. But don't forget about Eggabell! If she's not with Lizbert, we gotta find her.
We will, Chandlo. And once we do, we'll throw a big welcome back party! How does that sound?
*muttering agreement*
Yeah, we can do a shindig, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, sounds like a dream...
Oooh, heh..? Okay...
MMM~...sounds like fun...
Oh yeah, okay, that sounds good...
Yeahh, cool...
Oh, joy, frivolity...
Uh-yeah, sure...
Great! Now let's go get some sleep.
