Talk:There Stands the Grass

i get to leave
SO it says you shouldn't be allowed to leave during the quest, but after finding Keely I had to leave to get more Dr's bags. (I really had trouble with this one, for some odd reason). I just approached the door and left; do you think its a bug or are we actually able to leave the vault without a 'key code'?

It's a bug. I don't know if the doors are locked before talking to Keely on the 2nd level, but at least after obtaining the ignition task you cannot leave the vault. She will give you a key when you've finished the tasks.

Rewards
Anyone willing to clean this up? It's a mess as it stands. -EllEzDee 19:07, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not Wiki-savy enough to do a clean up but I can confirm I received 1650xp on completion rather than the 1500xp indicated on the page?--Desktopcarl 10:26, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

If you received 1650xp it's probably because you have the Swift Learner perk. -LawdyMissMaudy 21:28, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Can't Complete It
I can find the gas vents but they wont ignight, I have used flamers, grenades, energy weapons but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be helpful.

I had this problem as well. I dont know why the guy below says 'just use a laser weapon' when you stated you tried energy weapons. Anyway I tried everything as well, dynamite, long fuse dynamite, laser phaser..etc...I even stood in front of the vent and dropped some dynamite, it blew up, flames leaped down the corridor. the gas 'shimmer' dissapeared, However I got minimal damage and the quest marker still says I have to do it. 86.182.36.232 21:31, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Just use a laser weapon, there are 2 I can think of in Vault 22. Once you have it, go into the room where you downloaded the files and shoot toward the vents, this will cause an explosion and you must close the door before the flames reach you.

I just shot the vents from the data room, the flames didn't even enter the room with the door open. 201.240.126.203 05:05, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

Likewise, I just shot the vents from inside the data room with a plasma rifle and it worked. However the first time I tried it ED-E hadn't followed me into the room far enough and was killed by the blast. So I reloaded and walked all the way to the terminal before turning around and starting the blast. ED-E was fine the second time.--173.30.116.159 01:53, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

I had to exit the vault to get a Locksmith's Reader so I could pick the last lock. While I was out, I sold all the energy weapons (I don't use them) and gave all the explosives to Veronica since I rarely use them either. I told Veronica to wait outside and went in. So, when I rescued Keely, I had nothing to ignite the gas on me and no way to get any from Veronica. I had to either reload from outside the vault and do the whole rescue over or summon some long fuse dynamite via the console. I chose the latter.CarlCorey 04:57, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hildern
Does anything change if you tell him to be careful with the results because he didn't see the plants down there. I wanted to say that but was too tempted at the prospect of getting another 600 caps
 * No, nothing changes-he just gets snottier than usual and says that they wouldn't use anything that hasn't been "thoroughly tested". I predict death by fungus in his future. Thecrystalcrow 11:31, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

By the way, where the hell is he? I've waited in the lab three days and the bastard hasn't shown up. Wunengzi 10:15, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Lack of Appropriate Weapons
On Very Hard mode there's no way to complete this quest if you do not have explosives, plasma weapons, laser weapons etc. with you. Say you've looted the place before starting the quest, took the weapons to your safehouse and returned to rescue Keely. Shooting at the vents from a distance with conventional firearms does nothing, and shooting at them when near will result in an instant death. Alternatively, you find yourself locked up in the vault equipped with mere Melee or Unarmed weapons. Does Keely's duffle bag respawn, or are there any other 'hidden' weapons besides the Flamer? I couldn't find anything helpful and had to load a previously saved game, to equip myself with C4 and a detonator. 195.148.36.108 08:12, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I found the flamer gave just enough time to close the server room door before ignition, but maybe I just got lucky?--Desktopcarl 10:24, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

2001: A Space Odyssey
One of your possible responses to Keely is "I'm afraid I can't do that". I'm pretty sure this is a reference to Hal's famous line in 2001. Especially since certain elements (the locked door, the deletion of computer data, etc) mirror each other.

Unconfirmed bug PS3, patch 1.02
After detonating the gas and speaking to Keeley (science option - data kept) returning to the room next to the vents and walking round to the terminal (left as you enter through door) my character bursts into flames and dies (same as if you get caught in the blast). When you look from the door there are no flames.

I've repeated this twice. Anyone else?

Need help with a door.
i got to the door which needs 75 pick lock skill but i went to the quatres and got the keycard. is there anything else that needs to be done? i found the keycard on the shelf of the first cabin on the left of the hall of the crews quarters

reply: try the terminal in the overseer's office. that unlocks the door. it's on the 4th floor.

Resetting the Quest
Does anyone know the console command that will reset this quest? I am currently stuck with the main door being closed and keely not in her place on the 2nd floor.

Where's Keely's Pipboy?
In one of the computer logs Keely says she can't remote link her Pipboy to the computer at the entrance, but she dousn't where a Pipboy. Cane1994 04:14, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

ED-E died
During the explosion, ED-E and Arcade Gannon were with me. I shot the gas and it said both were knocked unconscious. I went back and found Gannon, but not ED-E. Help. I'm also not on hardcore mode. Also, I looked in my PipBoy map and it says it's in the vault, but I looked on every floor to no avail.

Page edits
I deleted a lot of repetitive, vague, and confusing directions, clarified alternative ways to unlock doors, added simplest method to complete quest, and some of the xp and cap options earned by the different quest outcomes. I added a reference to the two other quests that require visiting Vault 22. I deleted a reference to Keely not being eaten by the mantises because she is a ghoul. I could not find any in-game reference to this in any of her dialog choices. Does anyone know of a source for this? -LawdyMissMaudy 03:20, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

If you talk to her after she tells you to ignite the gas, and ask her why she was in the cave, she gives an explanation that ends with how the plants were not partial to ghoul meat 71.9.192.53 02:20, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hepa Filters
Confirmed you don't need the quest "Still in the dark" active to obtain the HEPA filters.

Thanks! I'd prefer a registered user, but I'm removing my note, and if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will fix it. Register! Get free gifts! Just kidding! But thanks!-LawdyMissMaudy 23:27, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

gas doesn't expolde
when you complete the quest proper on xbox, (possibly with all DLCs + classic pack), the only part of the gas that explodes is the cloud near the vent, not the entire floor; thereby making completing the quest this way impossible.

Keely only spawns when optional objective taken
Keely will only spawn if you have taken the optional objective to find her (from Angela Williams). Please add this to the article if you feel it's important.
