He locks himself behind a grate in the room with the treasure, and you're supposed to press a button that will keep it open on a timer and get over there. You ''can'' just turn around and leave the ship with him still in there, but he doesn't seem bothered by it and you'll eventually have to come back and pass his test to progress through the game, [[Good Bad Bugs|fairly.]]

* [[Its Personal]]: Between kidnapping your sister, airlifting you right when you're about to save her, chucking you into the ocean to drown, and [[Arson Murder and Jaywalking|probably being closely related to those annoying Kargorocs]], bashing this thing's head in with the Skull Hammer can easily turn out to be one of the most satisfying moments in the entire game.
