Mysterious stranger
I saw your message. I don't have a vid capture method, because I'm using the 360. But this is what I've been able to do:

ingredients:
 * mysterious stranger perk
 * 90 bottlecap mines
 * 20 plasma mines
 * 20 frag mines
 * ghoul mask
 * fatman/experimental mirv or a chinese/.32 pistol

Wearing your ghoul mask, go to the dunwich building in the southwest corner of the capital wasteland, and there's a room in there that's just a plain rectangle with a couple of desks and a feral ghoul in there. He's sitting in the corner. This isn't the only place you can do it, but it's important that you choose somewhere where you can drop the mines without them going off, and close all the doors because the stranger's body might rocket anywhere and be impossible to find (for instance, this works on Col. Autumn in the rotunda, but the body parts end up in inaccessible places). For the same reason you also need to not have high shelves or complicated geometry, and feral ghouls are the best enemy to use for this, in my opinion.

Arm all your mines in a wide swath around that corner, making sure you don't actually hit the ghoul's leg or something when you throw the mine (it sets them off). Now wait until he sits or stands right in the middle of your pile. You can usually push him there if you're impatient.

Now go to the other side of the room and you've got a few choices. You can try a fatman or the experimental mirv for a big boom (though I think the mines are generously more than enough to take out the stranger), or you can use a pistol. For the nukes, just keep a safe distance and use vats. Make a save right before you shoot, and just keep reloading and shooting until he appears and almost surely gets knocked out. If you use the pistol, you should crouch and target the ghoul's leg and hopefully you'll actually shoot one of the mines, setting them all off.

The problem is that, even when I get the message "the mysterious stranger is unconscious," I can never find his body! Werewolfhell says the body disappears one second after leaving vats, but I haven't been able to confirm that. Jdw 03:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
