Forum:Fallout 1 Rerun

So there i am, hardened power armor, turbo plasma rifle ect, i go guns blazing into mariposa, knowing that i only have a few days left until the water supply runs out. I terrorize the supermutants, kill the robed men and the lieutenant. Im thinking the master is at the vats of FEV, but i cant find my way in. i spent ages trying but no success. I gave up on it, and then someone uninstalled it from my computer. check on the vault, it says hes under the cathedral. '''Just to make sure is he beneath the cathedral? And do i really need to clear mariposa?''' Im rerunning the game to finish it, because i really want to go on fallout 2. Anybody know any tips aswell? like easy xp?

Well, you pretty much need to destroy both. I think the fastest I've ever beaten the game was when I played a jinxed melee character. I went to Necropolis snuck past elastic face got the chip (not sure if it's true now, but way back when you could just run right past him before the dialog screen came up) but I got caught on the way back. Anyways the Lou and most of his men were either hitting other people or dropping their guns. So I spent the first few rounds of combat picking up guns and healing with stimpacks. After they were all disarmed I just slowly beat them to death with the super sledge. Then I was free to grab the detonator key for the cathedral and blow up the vats. After that I returned to the vault with the chip and then went and blew up the bomb in the cathedrals basement. I didn't even go to the glow or join the brotherhood and completely ignored the boneyard quests.

I think without jinxed the fight would have been much tougher, taking damage from gatling lasers and rocket launchers each turn is a pain. Rhomb 10:42, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
