Baby Steps
==========
After the game's introduction, you have the basic character customization
akin to Bethesda games. Soon a year will pass. Walk to Dad. When he leaves
you alone, open the play gate and look at the SPECIAL book on the ground.
Choose your statistics whichever way you desire to play the game.
Dad will come back and tell you Mom's favorite passage from the bible. Follow
Dad through the doors to fast forward nine years to your tenth birthday.
Growing Up Fast
===============
After getting your pipboy, Amata will automatically talk to you. Converse
whatever way you desire - evil or good - and then talk to Old Lady Palmer.
She will give you a sweetroll. Now a robot cuts the cake, only he does so
rather poorly.
Butch wants cake and will demand the sweetroll. You can give it to him (yeah
right) or tell him no and he will fight you. After that, Amata will speak to
you again. Follow Dad to the intercom where you have to go downstairs. Go
through the door and get the poem from Beatrice. Now go down to the reactor
level.
Talk to Jonas and get the BB Gun from Dad. Follow the twosome into the
practice range area and hit the three markers. After, kill the radroach with
the gun also. Now go next to Dad for a picture. Six years pass...
Future Imperfect
================
Grab the medicine bobblehead off the desk and advance through the rooms to
meet the tunnel snakes. You can gain or lose karma here. To be good, talk to
Wally and tell him he is a follower. Everyone will leave and you will gain
karma. To be evil, talk to Butch and then insult Amata.
Go inside the classroom and take the test. Or, talk to the teacher beforehand
and get him to allow you to fill out the results on your own. Either way,
leave the classroom to fastforward even more.
Escape!
=======
After talking to Amata, grab your items off the desk and also get the items
in the first aid. Exit the two rooms to find a security guard battling
radroaches. Wait until the fight is over to pick off whoever is leftover. Now
go down the hall westward and you will find Butch. His mother is being
attacked by radroaches. If you are good, save the mom. Bad? Let her die.
Follow the diner sign (and kill the radroaches inside if you wish) and go up
the Atrium stairs to find Officer Gomez. He's fine with everything, so
continue to the robot Andy flaming some radroaches. Go inside the room behind
him and grab the two stimpaks off the ground. Now go through the atrium door.
Here you will find two kids get shot down. You need to kill the security that
killed them. After, loot their corpses and go through the door to the upper
level. Kill the radroaches along the way. Continue along on the upper level,
following the admin signs, until you reach Amata being interrogated by her
own father.
Blow the brains out of the security guard and Amata will go running. Talk to
the Overseer now. The best way (and no karma loss) to proceed is to tell him
that you'll hurt Amata unless he gives you what you need. Before you leave,
loot the lockers and desks for ammo and equipment.
Continue down the hall to the Overseer's office. Here you will find Jonas
dead as well as some loot inside the desks. Go through the door behind him
and use the key to enter. Inside here, pilfer the lockers for ammo and the
password. Use the Overseer's terminal and open the tunnel. Head down through
the door to reach Vault 101 entrance.
Open the door with the switch to reach the real entrance. Press the control
pod to open the door. Amata will come as well as two guards that you need to
take care of. Speak with Amata and then leave the vault. Be sure to save
right before hitting the wooden door as that is where you can last customize
your character. Follow the compass outside to the town of Megaton.
Following In His Footsteps
==========================
Investigate the nearby town of Megaton for information about Dad
----------------------------------------------------------------
Once in Megaton, go down the slope to the center before the bomb and take the
first ramp on the right. Up the ramp you will find the Crater Supply shop
where you can sell all of your loot for caps. Afterward, go up the slope to
the left of the supply shop and take the ramp to your left. Follow this
pathway to Moriarty's Saloon.
Here, you can proceed in three different ways. The first and quickest way
involves you hacking Moriarty's terminal which is located behind the door
near the counter. This will, however, incur evil karma, though it is perhaps
the quickest and easiest way to get what you want. Just save before you hack
so you can reload if you get no dice. While on the terminal, go to
"Visitors" and then "James (Vault 101)" to get the necessary information to
continue the game.
It should be noted that the unsuspecting gamer will probably have to pass a
Speech challenge with Gob in order to procur the thought of scavenging
Moriarty's terminal for the information. In this instance, it is best to stay
nice while conversing with him. Better yet, bypass him entirely as is done in
this walkthrough.
The second way to proceed is to converse with Moriarty directly and pass a
Speech challenge after you speak to him about what has happened. If you pass
the Speech check, which is unlikely, he will tell you upfront that your
father is headed to Galaxy News Radio, and this place will be put on the map
akin to the first hacking scenario.
The third way is the most difficult, but can give you the most caps. If you
fail the Speech challenge, Moriarty will call the information a "commodity"
and demand 100 caps for it. If you say you don't have the money, Moriarty
will enlist you in a little optional quest to get caps back from (ironically)
a girl named Silver.
Leave town and fast travel to Vault 101. From here, head northeast-east to
Springvale. Don't worry about the Enclave eyebot, just follow the road and
enter the Small Ranch house on the left. Inside you will find Silver and you
have a few ways to proceed.
First, you can kill her straight up to incur evil karma and finish the dead.
Second, you can insult her while conversing with her which will result in her
becoming hostile and her eventual death. Both ways give you evil karma but
also net you some Psycho and other drugs.
Thirdly, you can reason with her and she will give you the 300 caps needed to
pay off the debt. Finally, you can succeed in a Speech check with her where
she will give you all her caps in exchange for you falsely telling Moriarty
that she skipped town. When you return to Moriarty after these last two
options, he will ask for the 100 caps for the information, but you won't
incur any evil karma even if you don't tell him that Silver left town.
Either way, you finish this subplot and proceed further in the game.
Find Galaxy News Radio
----------------------
Now leave Megaton and head east-northeast using the compass and arrow as a
guide. Past the rocks and down the hill, you might encounter a creature such
as a Radscorpion, so be ready. Further down the hill you might encounter a
Fire Ant Soldier. In my playthrough, it was a Giant Fire Ant Soldier.
Down the hill, you come across Super Duper Mart, the location for one of
Moira Brown's Wasteland Survival Guide tasks, and also a bridge to the left
of it. Take the bridge across the water and the arrow on the compass will
change to south-southeast. Follow this direction up the road and kill the two
Raiders walking around here.
Soon you will happen upon Farragut West Metro station. From here you can take
this metro to reach all the metroes which leads to the Galaxy News Radio
Building. Right after the metro are more raiders to the south and east, so
get inside quickly and stealthily to avoid their hostility.
Inside the metro, take the first door on the right to locate another door
which contains the bathroom. You can replenish your health here with the
water facet, and though it will incur rads you don't really have to worry
about them anyway.
Now follow the tunnel to the number gates and go through the door on the
right. You will encounter two Mole Rats here in adjacent rooms which can be
dealt with rather easily. Go through the northeast room out to a hallway with
stairs. Another Mole Rat is in the middle of these stairs, so deal with it
accordingly.
Down the stairs, follow the straightforward tunnel to a large room with a
humming machine. In here, go up the stairs and loop around to the gate.
Lockpick the gate and kill the four Ghouls that come running toward you. In
my game, it was two Feral Ghouls and two Ghoul Roamers.
On the (now empty) side with the Ghouls, you can go down the stairs to the
bottom to reach an Average locked door. If you open it, you will find many
weapons on moderate-to-little value. Back up the stairs, go straight to the
door and open it. Through here, follow the hall to another door leading to
Tenleytown/Friendship station.
Here, go south to the Nuka Cola machine and take the soda. Continue south and
then follow the tunnel west. You will probably encounter a few Radroaches,
but of note is the Super Mutant standing at the end of the tunnel. Switch to
your highest power weapon and try to a sneak attack to kill him.
Move to where the Super Mutant was standing and sneak again. In this room
with the two stairs is three Ghouls on both sides. In my game, one was a
Feral Ghoul and the other was a Ghoul Roamer. After disposing of them, go up
the escalator and head east to find another tunnel hallway.
After the turn in the hall you will find a Radroach and a Mole Rat. After
they are taken care of, exit through the gates. You are now just a little bit
north of the Galaxy News Radio building, so start heading south. Do not
follow the road; instead, take the walkway to the left of it.
Two Super Mutants will begin to attack, and since some Brotherhood of Steel
are aiding you, I suggest you just take cover behind a wall until they take
care of them. Talk to the girl, Sentinel Lyons, to learn that they are going
to Galaxy News Radio to help their friends and that you can tag along.
Just follow the troops to the station. You'll reach a Steel member at a
corner taking care of a Super Mutant, then you'll go in further and more
Super Mutants will come out. Follow them to the ruined elementary school and
watch as they take care of more enemies.
Soon you will reach the entrance to the radio station. It was become overrun
with Super Mutants. After the brotherhood takes care of them, run up the
steps to the intercom where you will find out the place isn't entirely safe
yet. Just stay up here as the troops take care of the oversized Behemoth on
the ground. You can even help if you like. Be sure to loot the beast.
Now when you talk to the intercom, it's all clear to come in. Inside, follow
the rooms to a large room with two staircases. Take either staircase and go
through the central doorway to another door entitled GNR Studios. In here,
run up the stairs to Three Dog. You can get him to tell you about Dad with a
Speech challenge, but barring that he wants you to recover a dish. At 70+
Speech it was only a 30% chance, and we can do this little side job for him.
If you're bad, you might just want to kill the guy and take his hat. I
wouldn't blame you, and you can still get further in the game.
Galaxy News Radio
=================
Find the Museum of Technology
-----------------------------
Exit the premise to Chevy Chase. From here, go north inside and past the
ruined school. Go down the same hallway as before and follow the arrow to
metro junction gates. Inside here, grab the Nuka-Cola out of the machine and
follow the path to a large ruined room with two Ghouls.
After disposing of them, run down the railroad tunnel and go back up it on
the other loop. You'll find yourself at a similar two-escalator room to
before. Go up the left escalator and sneak attack the ghoul ahead of you. Now
go around the corner of the shack and take care of the other one.
Exit through the southwest tunnel to reach another vending machine. Follow
this tunnel to gates leading outside. Now take the road leading southwest,
following the arrow, to a road circle with raiders in the middle. After
disposing of them, continue southwest and kill the ghouls to your left.
Now that that's over, take the right pathway to Dupont Station. Inside here,
you will encounter two Super Mutants straight off, and one can be killed
rather easily with a sneak attack critical hit. After killing them, follow
the tunnel to a door. Open the door and follow this tunnel to another door.
After opening that, head down through the railroad tunnels to another door
and a hall. Go in a sneak down the stairs to find a raider sitting down on a
chair. Sneak attack critical him, then loot everything around him: stimpacks,
a first aid case, ammunition boxes, and an assortment of Rad-X.
Continue down the hall until you reach a raider on the outside of a window.
This is where everything gets dicey: sneak attack critical the raider and
then switch to laser weapons to take care of the two turrets that are out
here. Now finish off the rest of the raiders and follow the walkway down to
the ground.
Take the tunnel heading south and follow it to a utility gate. Open this and
follow the tunnel, but beware of mines! Go through the door at the end to
reach Metro Central. Wait at the door until the raiders or ghouls wins, and
then finish off the leftovers.
Go through the room to a door and another door and finally radiation. Wait a
second. Kill the Ghoul loitering. Go in a little. Kill two more ghouls
walking about. Head down the left tunnel. Kill the Ghouls here. Do not go up
the escalator and instead go down the tunnels south.
Soon you will encounter a pack of vicious dogs which need to be dealt with
swiftly. After, stay on the right tunnel to the end, and go through the
opening with the painted arrow. Follow this tunnel to the museum station.
Exit the storage room and kill the ghoul by the stairs. Flip the switch to
open the trapdoor, then kill the raider that comes out.
Up here in the pool room, grab the Grognak the Barbarian off the desk. Go
east out to the railroad tunnel and kill the walking raider. Now head south
down the tunnel until you reach an escalator. Here, go up to find two
raiders: one on the level and the other on top of a railroad car. Head east
to a tunnel and go to the end to find the mall.
Out here, kill all the Super Mutants around the area so you don't get shot at
and then go southeast to reach the museum of technology atrium. Inside here,
get behind cover and take out the two Super Mutants. After, go up the stairs
to your left and go through the door next to the caged windows.
Go up to the vault and enter through the door. Follow the hallway to the end
and enter the west wing doors. Go through the doorway on the left and kill
the Super Mutants on each level. Now head up the stairs and unlock the
average locked door. Inside, go down the storage room and out the other door.
Kill the Super Mutant right in front of you, as well as the Super Mutant in
the door straight ahead of you. Now go around to the staircase and take the
Virgo dish from the place. Head back out exactly the way you came in. If you
sneak right away, the bad guys won't see you. Now head west to the monument.
Find the Washington Monument
----------------------------
Make your way west-northwest to the monument. You can stop sneaking when you
get close as it is guarded by the brotherhood. Get on the terminal to open
the outer door. Now go inside the monument itself. Press the button to get
inside the elevator, and another button to go up the elevator.
At the top, install the virgo dish at the radio. Now go back on the elevator
and go back down. At the bottom, get outside and then fast travel back to
Galaxy News Radio.
Speak to Three Dog about Dad
----------------------------
Talk to Three Dog now to get the skinny. It seems Dad went to project purity
and also saw Dr. Li in Rivet City.
Scientific Pursuits
===================
Gain entrance to Rivet City
---------------------------
You should have Rivet City on fast track by now as the majorly important
Intelligence bobblehead is located in Dr. Li's Science Lab. If you don't,
just follow the river south. It is on the southeast corner of the map. Take
the left door to end this objective.
Talk to Doctor Li about Dad and Project Purity
----------------------------------------------
Take the left door to the midship deck. Follow the signs to the Science Lab.
Talk to Dr. Li about everything. She'll tell you Dad's at the Jefferson
Memorial for Project Purity. Time to get going. Exit Rivet City.
Look for Dad in Project Purity's Control Room
---------------------------------------------
Follow the bridge and go down to the ground. Now start heading westward. Soon
you will see the monument and a walkway above the ground. This is after the
water. Get out your best weapon and kill the Super Mutant near the ramp. Now
go up the ramp and kill the two Super Mutants lingering about. Make your way
to the other side of the ramp and kill the Super Mutant at the bottom of the
ramp.
Go in the Jefferson Memorial via the Gift Shop door to the left of the ramp.
Inside, kill the Super Mutant right in front of you and another should come
running as well. After disposing of them, go down to the X junction and hack
the average computer to get the turret offline. If you can't, you'll have to
resort to the old fashioned way.
After taking care of the turret, head past the sandbags to the next room.
Kill the Super Mutant to the right of you and then head left. There will be
two Super Mutants here that you need to take out. Now go through the door to
the rotunda.
Sneak attack critical the Super Mutant to the left of the circular station
and then make your way up the steps to the center. Kill the Super Mutant
patrolling center area and then grab the three holotapes near the exit of
this central hub. Listen to Entry 10 to find out where Dad went. Exit the
memorial and fast track back to Megaton.
Gain access to Vault 112
------------------------
Luckily everything is marked on the map, so just make your way to your
destination. It is a long walk, but half the distance because we are at
Megaton. When you reach the garage, enter it and kill the two Mole Rats in
the second room.
Flip the switch to open the trapdoor. Kill the Mole Rat at the bottom of the
stairs. Go down either staircase and kill the second Mole Rat. Now go through
the door marked Vault 112. Follow the tunnel to the Vault door. Press the
panel to open the vault.
Inside, take the left door which leads to another door and a robot. It will
give you vault-wear, which you must wear to start this experiment. Go through
the door behind the robot and take a left at the junction. Go down the stairs
and around to reach the mid area with the sits. Get in the north unoccupied
seat and let the fun begin...
Tranquility Lane
================
There are two ways to go about this quest: good and evil. Since good is much
faster, it will be listed first. That is, of course, not to say that I don't
get a kick out of the evil way to do this, as it is LOADS of fun. But,
anyway, the good way is as follows.
Mrs. Dithers states to you, rather crazily, that this is all a game and that
the answer is inside the abandoned house. If you go inside you will find
absolutely nothing besides a ton of 50s objects that chime. If you go back to
Braun in the center and listen to him/her, you can hear him chime a melody.
You must match the chimes of him with the chimes in the room to make a
terminal.
The correct sequence is: radio, pitcher, gnome, pitcher, cinder block, gnome,
and bottle. This will make a terminal where you can read about the chinese
invasion. Activate it to kill the neighbors indefinitely and also garner good
karma.
The bad, and infinitely more fun way to go about it is to be evil and give in
to Braun's wishes. Your first task....
Make Timmy Neusbam cry
----------------------
The quickest way to do this is just to get out your fists and punch the guy.
Go back to Braun and ask a question. Now it's onto round two...
Break up the Rockwell's marriage
--------------------------------
Enter the Simpson's house and get the lacy underwear from the second floor
bedroom. Now go to the Rockwell's house and go inside the basement near the
kitchen. Place the lacy underwear on top of the desk and then tell Mrs.
Rockwell to come down to the basement. Once she's down there, evilness
ensues, and she decides to stay somewhere else tonight. Mission accomplished,
head back to Braun.
Second question answered, it's time to...
Arrange a creative death for Mabel Henderson
--------------------------------------------
Like the others, there are several ways to do this. The easiest is to go to
the Henderson's house and to the kitchen in the back. Fiddle with the pilot
light on the oven to start the mayhem. Now go to Mabel and ask her to bake a
cake for you. Watch as she goes up in flames. Mission accomplished, back to
black Betty.
Retrieve the mask and knife from behind the abandoned house
-----------------------------------------------------------
Go behind the white picket fence of the abandoned house and get the knife and
mask in the doghouse to the right of the house. Equipped with a weapon, kill
everyone in the 'lane besides the dog and Betty. When the mission is
complete, head back to Betty for a doorway out finally. You will achieve the
same fate if you just trigger the failsafe with the chiming objects in the
abandoned house.
Through the door, you'll find yourself back at the lounge in the chair. After
talking to Dad, it's time to go to Rivet City again.
The Waters of Life
==================
Go to Rivet City Science Lab
----------------------------
Exit Vault 112 the way you entered and fast travel to Rivet City since you
have already been there. Go to the Science Lab via the stairwell/midship
desk. When you get to the lab wait for Dad who will also instantly travel
here. After the conversation with Daddy and Li, talk to Dad to get the next
objective.
Join the scientists at Project Purity
-------------------------------------
Exit Rivet City and fast travel to the Jefferson Memorial. If you skipped
early quests and headed straight for tranquility lane, this option is not
available so you must head there on foot westward. When you reach there you
will find some Super Mutants you would have mopped up before, as well as a
full upper level of Super Mutant troops in the memorial.
At any rate, wait for Dad and the scientists to come to the entrance of the
memorial. Dad will tell you that you need to clear the way inside of pesks so
they can accomplish their goal.
Clear Project Purity of any remaining mutant threat
---------------------------------------------------
Since the upper level (gift shop) has already been taken care of previously,
go to the sub-basement door and inside. You should encounter a centaur just
before the door. Go down the tunnel stairs, while stealthed, and turn right
at the chain-linked fence. The door on your left contains a Super Mutant, so
sneak attack critical hit the guy with a high powered weapon like a shotgun.
Down the stairs east of here, you will encounter another Super Mutant in the
room this hall funnels off to. After this room you come at a four-way
junction. Look to the right (north) to find two Super Mutants. Kill them,
then look south and kill the loan Super Mutant.
Take the west path, and kill the Super Mutant at the door. This is the last
Super Mutant, but I advise you go south at the four-way junction and west at
the other to find a door and a bed. Sleep at the bed to restore your health.
Exit the memorial the way you came in and talk to Dad.
Escort the scientists inside Project Purity
-------------------------------------------
Follow Dad and the scientists to the rotunda. Talk to Dad to get Revelations
21:6 again and also what we are doing here. Soon he'll have a task for you...
Turn on the Flood Control Power Pump
------------------------------------
Exit the rotundav via the door on the left to the gift shop. Here, go left
across the room to the sub-basement level. Follow the hall to the chain-link
fence and go right here. Follow the halls to the four-way junction and go
south. Activate the flood control power switch right next to the intercom to
complete the objective. Back at Dad you need to...
Replace the damaged fuses
-------------------------
Back all the way at the sub-basement four-way junction, go north to reach a
room with water. Here, take the west door to the fuse room with the fuses on
the wall. After putting them back on, it's time to...
Boot up the mainframe
---------------------
Backtrack to the upper level of the sub-basement with the chain-linked fence.
Here, go northwest and open the double door. Flip the mainframe power switch
to complete the objective. Talk to Dad on the intercom to find out you need
to...
Drain the intake pipes
----------------------
Head back to the gift shop and head north past the rooms almost like you are
leaving the place. Only instead of leaving to the left, go right (east) and
follow the hall to a grate. Down here, follow the straightforward pipe to the
outside. Here, press A at the red circular pipe to finish the objective. Uh-
oh, looks like we have company! Don't shoot them and go through the openly
unlocked door in front of you.
Return to the control room
--------------------------
At the sift pump, go down the pipe and follow it to the sub-basement. Here
you will encounter Enclave soldiers that you need to kill in front of you.
They are heavily armored and equipped with plasma rifles, but all the better
for you to loot.
After taking care of them, jump down to the water and make your way back to
the upper level of the sub-basement. Loot the corpse and exit to the gift
shop. Sneak here and go to your right. At the end of the hall is another
enclave soldier. Sneak attack critical him then go through the door to the
control room.
At the control room you'll find everything's gone to hell. After the spoilerz
moment, you need to escort the scientists the hell out of here.
Escort Dr. Li to the excavation point
-------------------------------------
Follow Dr. Li to the manhole that leads to a tunnel.
Escort Dr. Li through Taft Tunnel to the Citadel
------------------------------------------------
For this part of the story, it's best just to have them follow you while you
commit your killing. They will sneak when you sneak and everything, so they
don't slow you down. Go down the tunnel and kill the Enclave Eyebot to your
left.
Go west down the tunnel and through the doorway. Follow the tunnel to another
doorway. Open it and kill the Enclave on the second floor if you can. If you
can't, go through the door on the right and follow the tunnel to another
eyebot. Kill it and go right down the tunnel to a locked door that Doctor Li
can open.
While waiting for Li to unlock the door, you'll find nine enclave soldiers on
the second floor in the doorway to the left of the terminal. Kill them
hastily or slowly, then go through the newly opened door to the west. After
the rubble, you will encounter a Ghoul.
Past the barrier, you will find two Ghouls. After taking care of them, head
through the door to Taft Tunnel again. Go through the straightforward doors
and soon Doctor Li will stop you about Garza. If you are good, you can give
him five stimpaks to help him. You can also drug him up with Med-X. If you
are bad, you can convince Doctor Li to leave him behind.
After making your decision, go up the tunnel to a door. Out this door, go up
the elevated platform and look behind you to the level above you to find some
more Enclave soldiers. Kill them, then continue up the stairs to a room with
a eyebot helmet. Go through this room and kill the Ghouls up the stairs.
Before you proceed, go left at the T junction and drink water at the sink.
Go right at the T junction now and follow the halls to a door. Open it and
kill the two Ghouls in front of you, then look right and kill the third Ghoul
far away. Follow the tunnel to the left and flip the switch. Do not kill the
turrets or the brotherhood of steel member past this door; instead, seek
cover behind them and watch as they kill the remaining Ghouls.
Follow the remaining tunnel to a ladder. Outside, go south to reach the
Citadel. Doctor Li will get the door open for you, so go inside.
Picking Up The Trail
====================
Ask Scribe Rothchild for pre-war computer access
------------------------------------------------
Talk to Lyons and ask for permission for Power Armor. Go to Paladin Gunny to
get that training, and then head to the Lab marked on your compass.
Talk to Scribe Rothchild on the lower level to find out that the GECK could
be in one of the vaults. Go back to the courtyard and venture inside the A-
ring of the citadel. Go through the hall and make a right. Go down to the end
room and take the end Vault terminal. Look at the DC vaults and finally Vault
87 equipment issuances to find the GECK. Go back to Rothchild for help.
Follow Rothchild to the map which shows the location of all the Vaults,
including the one you need to get into. It's time to...
Search Lamplight Caverns for a way into Vault 87
------------------------------------------------
Fast travel to Smith Casey's garage, and then go north-northwest until you
reach Lamplight Caverns which is highlighted on your map. When you reach it,
save right before the stop-sign and keep trying the Speech challenge until
you are successful. If you don't get it, just reload and try again. If you
can't do it, then you will need to rescue some kids from Paradise Falls,
which is located northwest of Big Town. Use Crimson to seduce the guard and
get them out of there.
Enter Vault 87
--------------
When you are finally in Little Lamplight, talk to Mayor MacCready about
alternate routes inside Vault 87. You can choose the gore-a-rific Murder Pass
which is infested with Super Mutants or you can choose the safe computer
terminal way. To do the latter, go to the Great Chamber and look for Joseph.
When you have found him, follow him to the computer terminal and save before
you attempt to unlock the average terminal. When you have successfully done
so, you will have access to Vault 87.
Finding the Garden of Eden
==========================
Retrieve the GECK
-----------------
Go through the door on the left. In this room, go through the southern door
with the debris in front of it. In this hall, turn left at the T junction and
go up the stairs. At the next T junction, go left to enter a room with four
radroaches. Kill'em all like the Metallica album, then go through the
northern door.
Stay sneaked before the stairs, get out a high powered gun, and shoot the two
Super Mutants while sneaked. After their deaths, go up the stairs and sneak
just before the door. Peer in and shoot the patrolling Super Mutant. Now go
in the room and take the left door up some more stairs to reach the Living
Quarters.
Take the eastern door in this room and kill the Super Mutant patrolling the
stairs. Head up the stairs to a door. I
