A WORK IN PROGRESS

You might prefer the Express Version for now.

Packing Light

Drop all extra items at your tent, and bring all of your Caps (you need 17k or more), and only: Spiked Knuckles in Slot 1, a Radio in Slot 2, a Hatchet, a Tool, your best Knife, and several Beers. By now you should be wearing a Leather Helmet and Leather Armor. Let's go!

Necropolis

Head straight east to Necropolis, and enter Motel. Speak with Thrane. He has a long dialogue and sometimes he walks away which ends the conversation prematurely. Start it again and keep trying until you finish it normally. You'll know if it worked when you get XP. Exit and re-enter Necropolis via Watershed. Run up the street to the manhole cover. Go down the ladder and beat all of the sewer rats. Return to the street and run in to speak with Elmer. He gives you a Tape. Read that to update your Pip-Boy with his message to Skeeter. Now run to the back of this building, into one of the small rooms. Find the ladder down. Go down to bottom level, into vault, and use elevator to get to Level 3. On Level 3, run to the working computer, insert your Pip-Boy and run the vemxp.exe program. Wait a while (keep pressing 1) for the "user interface to load", and eventually something happens. You're not sure what, but someone taps you on the shoulder and runs away. You have to follow him!

Outside

Exit Necropolis and chase down the guy who you suspect murdered your friend. He's waiting to ambush you just outside of town. Go there and he tries to clobber you. Defeat him easily with your Heavy Handed punches, and exit. Hike 12 Zones north by 3 Zones east to find Vault 15. Drink a beer if you have any left, and enter. Defeat the cave rats, and access the working terminal just inside the vault entrance. Use Science skill on certain computers there to get some Electronic Parts. No need to use the elevator. exit when done, and exit to The World map again. Head 5 Zones straight west to Shady Sands.

Shady Sands

Enter the town and speak first with Iguana Mikey about your quest to find Pete's son.
