Forum:Dead Money help.

I just started playing Dead Money, and I've had my head blown off four times, twice while trying to free dog and twice while trying to free Christine, and I'm already getting pissed off. Can somebody please tell me if anyone wrote a walkthrough for this damned DLC? I've checked GameFaqs four times and they haven't got squat.--Ryker6103:43, June 3, 2011 (UTC)~8:42pm 6/2/2011

When you walk in, go through the door past the cage if you haven't already done so, to turn the radio off downstairs, and collect a holotape which you can play outside his cage to engage dialogue. Hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't ;D 94.174.234.85 21:02, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou for the tip, but that's not what I was looking for. I'm looking for a published walkthrough for both Dead Money and Honest Hearts, as in a strategy guide. I've looked all over the place. There are video walkthroughs but those are not what I'm looking for.I have not found a strategy guide or walkthrough for either one of these DLCs and it's starting to piss me off. If anybody knows where I can find a verbal walkthrough(not a video walkthrough), please let me know.--Ryker6106:25, June 8, 2011 (UTC)~11:23pm 6/7/2011

The reason you haven’t found any full walkthroughs is because there are so many ways to play this game, its would be like writing a damn book with 100 different endings. The individual quest pages located here on this site have all the basic information you need to know for each area of the quests. For Dead Money, here Dead_Money is the main page with links to the individual quests, everything you should need to know is located there. If that’s not enough I have no clue what it is you’re looking for. ReapTheChaos 07:02, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the info ReapTheChaos. I was looking for some info for the Police Chief's terminal in the Police Station. I figured out that I need a Science Skill of 75 to hack the terminal. The reason why I got so pissed, is because I want to make sure that when I leave the Sierra Madre that I don't miss anything(as in I'm taking everything that isn't nailed down). By running into this one terminal, I'm already guessing that there's going to be more, and I want to make certain that I've got the skills to hack and pick every terminal and locked door. It's kindda lame that no one's written up a walkthrough for this game. I mean come on, Prima Games published a strategy guide for the main game, and we all know that the main quest has multiple endings. What's Prima gonna do when the Game Of The Year Edition comes out? Not publish a Game Of The Year Edition Strategy guide? Sorry, this is just me venting. Thanks again.--Ryker6110:30, June 16, 2011 (UTC)~3:28pm 6/16/2011

Well as far as locks go I can tell you that they go all the way to very hard. There is one lock pick skill book at the end, in the Sierra Madre vault and you can also use mentats to raise it a few points as well. However if I remember correctly there wasn’t much of any value or importance behind any of the very hard lock. ReapTheChaos 17:01, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

There's also I believe 1 very hard terminal during Christines quest. If you can not pass the check dialogue with Christine is changed for the rest of the DLC.Cpanda 02:59, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Cpanda that was soo easy if you looked around, Ennis's key was on the desk on the other side of that control room and it opens his locker in the room that controls ventalation and it has password, just need a little scavenging for almost any hard lock. Thier is a few places that you can't just find the key, but it is most always junk. 174.109.137.71 19:30, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hard now ? Try it on Hardcore. Most locks and terminals in the Sierra Madre are level dependant (except the ones your not suppose to open untill the quest calls for it, like turning on the Holograms for Dean). I've played it at lvl 30 and at lvl 16; at lvl 16 most locks went from 100 to 75 but the Chief's terminal stayed at 75. Once you get Dog you can pretty much hide behind him and let him empty the villa of all ghost people (but where's the fun in that). One spoiler I can give you; do not enter the casino untill you get a Stealth Boy. Squalor 00:44, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip about the Stealth Boy Squalor. I'll have to keep that in mind. I was thinking about trying FO:NV on Hardcore mode, until I saw that weight was going to be added to ammo, stimpacks would not heal instantly, and I would have to monitor my PC's food, drink and sleep levels. It was a little too Hardcore for my taste. I went ahead and set the difficulty setting to Easy. Even on Easy, it's still a challenge at times.--Ryker6110:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)~3:04am 7/9/2011 "For the struggle of survival is a war without end!"

It's not really those things that make Hardcore hard, it's the constant loss of health. Still, it's a well crafted adventure with a good story and powerful rewards. I haven't found a container yet that isn't safe storage so yes, take everything that isn't nailed down Ryker. You'll have a chance to sell it for pre-war money before you leave. Some things are well hidden but finding it isn't the hard part; it's letting go.Squalor 14:50, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
