Rescue Tandi from Raiders
Try rescuing Tandi without killing the leader first (the guy with metal armor). You'll get 500 exp for rescuing Tandi and another 400 exp for
rescuing the slave.
If you're a male, wear black leather jacket and try to scare the leader into
freeing Tandi. Leave camp for 500 exp and return Tandi to Shady Sands for
400 exp. Go back to the camp and kill everyone(400 exp for rescuing slave).
OR
Without starting a fight, go inside from the back door. Picklock Tandi door.
The raiders will start shooting at you. After you open Tandi door, leave the
camp without killing the leader. You can kill him later after you return Tandi.
(Exp is the same as above)
Destroy Radscorpion Nest
Talk to Seth and ask him to take you to the nest. Kill all scorpion and leave.
(500 exp)
Rescue Initiate from Hub
Talk to Talus in the training room at the Brotherhood. Go to Oldtown at Hub. Enter the first house
with some guys in it. Kill them. Pick lock on the door. Talk to initiate. Make
sure he promise to tell the Brotherhood that you save him. Return to BOS, talk
to the paladin back and retrieve your prize, Power Armour or anything you like.(1500 exp)
Become Initiate
Tell Cabbot that you want to join the Brotherhood of Steel. He'll tell you to get something from the
Glow. Bring a rope there and use it to get down the crater. Search the dead guy with power
armor for a
holodisk. Bring back to Cabbot and you've just become an initiate. Don't forget to search The Glow for
some goodies.
Find the Water Chip
The water chip can be found at Watershed, Necropolis. At Necropolis, go down the sewer to the 3rd part of the
Necropolis. That would be the Watershed. The 2nd part is the ghoul HQ. Go to the building with several mutants in
it. Get past them. Several way to do it; 1. Sneak past them; 2. Bluff them, tell them you're a ghoul and 3. Blast
them to pieces. After the mutants encounter, go down the manhole in a room beside the prisoned ghoul. Use the
elevator to the 3rd floor. Kill every glowing ghoul you find. The water chip is at the working computer.
Find the Water Thief
Talk to the guard, ask how is he. He'll tell you about the water thief. Wait in the vault store until
midnight. You'll see someone suspicious walking around. After he search the footlocker, talk to him.
Convince him to surrender, you'll get more exp points; or you can kill him, you'll get less exp points.
Calm Rebel Factor
Talk to Theresa on Level 2 Vault 13. Try to convince her not to rebel.
Find Children Spy
Don't know about this. I found 3 purple robes on the floor inside one of the room in the library, but
I never found out who's one is it.
Help Bust Skulz
Talk to Lars about Skulz and offer to help him bust them. Go to Skum Pitt at night and enter through the
side door. Make sure nobody open the bedroom door, you NPC friends tend to open it without your approval. Talk
to Neal and witness a murder. Leave and talk to Skulz leader at their hideout. Tell him you want to
join them and he'll tell you to steal Neal's urn. Go back to Skum Pitt and wait until morning. Enter through the side
door after Neal's asleep. Steal the urn and take it back to the leader. He'll ask if you want to help them kill
Neal, tell him you'll join them later. Tell Lars about their plan to kill Neal. Join Lars and after the fight ends,
return the urn.
Destroy Mutant Base
The Base is at west of your vault. Go to the Vats, the last floor by using the elevator. There should be a computer room with couple of robe man inside. Use the computer or hack it to destroy the base. Kill every mutants you encounter. Heavy firepower recommended. The should be a man with a key for the atom bomb in the cathedral. On your way out, the force field should be armed by now. Use repair skill on it or blow it away with dynamite. Get away from the base before the time run out or you'll be very dead!
Destroy Mutant Master
The Master can be found on the third level down the cathedral, in the vault. Go down there using whatever means
necessary. Laura can open the first locked door for you. Use your skill or the key from Morpheus on the top floor for the second locked door. Your NPC's friend can 'accidentally' open the secret door to the cave for you. Use the computer found on the third level or your skill for the secret door to the Master. 3 ways to finish this quest: 1. Kill the master, using the usual way; 2. Convince the master that he's inferior. Use the holodisk given to you at the B.o.Steel; 3. Arm the nuclear bomb found at level 4. Either way, the bomb will be armed and I'm sure you don't
want to be there when it goes off!
Get rid of Gizmo
Go to Killian during the day. Help him kill the assassin and offer to rid of Gizmo. He'll give you a bug and a tape recorder. Plant the bug on Gizmo or use the tape recorder.
