Forum:Getting all Gold Bars after update?

Hey everyone, I'm right at the end of Dead Money right now, and I'm wondering if it's possible to still escape from the Sierra Madre with all of the gold bars. I've tried a lot of different methods that are on youtube, and none work. Does anyone have a method that works after the most recent update? 69.234.136.213 17:53, July 12, 2011 (UTC)Anon

I was wondering if it had been patched. If none of the youtube vids work, its most likely patched.

Nothing works so far on the Xbox360, maybe on a PC....DarthOrc 05:56, July 13, 2011 (UTC)DarthOrc

Honestly though, think of it this way. You may not get them all, hell, maybe only a few. (I got a measly 8) but the bright side is that even 8 take a bloody long time to sell (As selling just one clears just about every vendor of all his caps.) I can't even imagine how long it would take to sell te 35-36 bars that exist in total Crossfire XVI 17:50, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

I can confirm that you can still obtain all the Gold Bars after the latest patch. I just did it last night with the latest patch and all current DLCs installed on the Xbox 360. Just use the trick where you push yourself against the forcefield as Elijah is coming out after you have planted your explosives and you will slip inside while he slips out and blows himself all to hell. Then just walk to the elevator and cash out. Zac hemker 07:20, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Exchange the gold bars at the vendors in the Villa for pre-war money, each vendor has a ton of pre-war money on them, (Note you don't actually buy anything from them, you trade items for their items sine they carry no caps on them) and since you can sell off pre-war money as you need it, it's much more practical than selling the bars by themselves, not to mention pre-war money has no weight to it.

You can also delete the title update patch and attempt to use the stealth boy trick. I've always gotten that to work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. You have to remember to crouch down well before you get out in the open. Imagine where the turret is just above you on the long path around and crouch down before you pass under it.

Heh, a lot of people seem to miss the point of Dead Money and the gold bars. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 10:03, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Well yeah it's suppose to be a metaphor that your life is more important then money and you shouldn't be able to make it out with all of them, but if you're able and smart enough to make it out anyway without cheating then good on you. Using a stealth boy isn't cheating and it's needed to get the 'lockbox' acheivement anyway. May as well carry everything while you are at it
 * Actually the methapor of the gold bars and Dead Money are not these, but whatever. But there's a problem if you cheat? It's only a game. Brfritos 22:58, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hey I took all of my compaions in with me got 29, pain in the ass to get them into the vault though. 174.109.137.71 01:47, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Nah, it's all about 'letting go'. Begin again and let go. That's why that phrase is repeated so often. Let go of your desire for the treasure since greed will destroy/consume you and begin again. Listen to Vera's words on the radio after you finish. The true value in life is just living not anything the sierra madre has to offer.

Probably doesn't work but what about picking up all the bars and dropping them in a combined pile, so like Gold bar (35) or something? I haven't got the DLC because I'm waiting for a GOTY edition, and stuff. Is that not possible to do?

Just keep a stealthboy, you can still sneak out by using that. It just takes a few attempts sometimes.

Was able to do it with 2 ranks of Implant GRX. Dropped the 37 bars in a stack right by the vault door. After convincing Elijah to come down, I immediately activated all 10 uses of it, opened the door, picked up the bars, walked out the long way (not crouched). I had disabled all the hologram emitters when I first came through. After the hologram room, I dropped down from the I-beam onto the covered walkway to save a few seconds. The next room has two breaks in the stairs. The first break you can actually just walk over as long as you keep to the sides. The second break in the stairs is where the implants wore off (saved here) and incidentally a few seconds later Elijah's dialogue when he found out he triggered the vault security protocols kicked in. I looked over at the step and dropped the 37 bars on the opposite side of the break in the stairs and it landed on the bottom-most step (look at the second or third step up in first person). I was able to jump over, pick up the bars, and make my way out before the explosion counted down completely. I didn't need the stealth boy at all on the way out since I was walking upright anyway, but it did help to disable all the hologram emitters in the bottomless room previously.

did it on ps3 without any implant, turbo, mines or glitching. make sure you have a stealthboy before you lock yourself inside the vault.clear out the level, making sure you collect everything. once you have as much as you want, lock yourself in the vault room with the gold bars. up to you if you want to sabotage the turret computer and power. collect all the items then drop enough items at door so you become unemcumbered. try to drop all your heaviest items as you don't want to spend much time picking them up when the time comes. once you have a pile of items(including the gold bars) right hard up against the door, unlock computer and go into the vera section. read though then leave computer. go through all talk options with elijah,then get him to come downstairs. as soon as you can move, save, then go to locked door, unlock first then pick up items you dropped onto floor while door is openening.you shouldn't spend more than 1 second picking up items. before you walk through door, use stealthboy, then walk( you DO NOT have to crouch here so long as elijah hasn't arrived) to your right, where the little crackling power station thing is, just infront of the staircase that elijah will walk down.crouch behind this and creep around so you can see staircase that elijah walks down in full view. you should have been able to do all this before elijah even appears. wait until elijah walks down the stairs, he should only be a few paces infront of you as he walks past. you have to now wait until he walks up to the computer then when he is 2-4 steps away from the computer, stand up and walk up the stairs, you have to do this before he realises its a trap. you should have enough time to get around 4 or so paces past the force field before he realises.once past doorway, voila, 37 gold bars are now yours. elijah will notice you even with stealthboy, if you walk past the powerstation thingy (which should be to your left, with the stairs that elijah walks down to your front/right.you can't begin to move until he is under the awning that covers the computer and vault door. since there is no gimmick in obtaining the bars this way, it was obviously the creators intention to allow you to take all the gold if your savvy enough.
