Traits: Good Natured & Skilled

Tagged Skills: Lockpick, Science & Speech

Cave and Wasteland #1:

Run past the rats in the cave, using either the combat glitch or quickly ending combat when you move far enough away from any rats that aggro on you.

Exit to the wasteland, head South-West till you hit desert then North-East to the Military Base, combat glitching any encounters.

Military Base:

Run up to the Mutant, press 2, 1. Press 2, 1, 1 in dialogue with the Lieutenant.

Run to the terminal, science it, and press 1, 4, 1 to activate the silent self-destruct.

Run to the elevator and head onto the 3rd floor.

Press 0 to bypass the black armored guard when you encounter him and use the combat glitch to bypass the other guard.

If you have more than 30HP left, you can head through a force-field, if not heal with a stimpack. Head to the elevator and exit on floor 1.

Run out of the base, and when confronted by the door guard, press 3, 1 in order for him to let you pass. Run to the exit grid and skip the cut-scene once it loads.

Wasteland #2 & Cathedral:

Head South-East to the Cathedral, taking care to avoid the mountains if possible.

Enter the Cathedral, and then level up.

If you are using sneak, put that at 85% and the tagged skills at 120%. If not, make them 130%.

Unlock the door leading to the staircase, then head up to Morpheus, using the combat glitch to avoid combat.

Talk to Morpheus and press 2, 1, 2, 1.

As his dialogue closes spam A + 0 to skip the Master’s dialogue and enter the combat glitch.

Run down, taking care not to aggro the mutant in the South-East corner.

Run past everyone towards the bomb elevator, pressing 0 and then Quick-save/Quick-loading to skip the Patrolling guard aggroing.

Move past the mutants to the door blocking the elevator, unlock this and then the elevator itself.

Go to the 4th floor and use the Sneak Strat or Combat glitch strat to activate the bomb. (See below for explanation of these strats.)

Combat glitch to the elevator, head back to Floor 3, then go to the other elevator.

Exit on Floor 1 and a man will speak to you.

Press 3, 3, 1 and he will kick you out of the Cathedral.

Run to the exit grid then spam P + 0 to skip the ending slides, and quickly initiate and exit the overseer’s dialogue, ending the run.

Bomb Strats:

1) The Sneak Strat (Easier to execute, slower.):

If you were in sneak before Quick-saving, this will not work.

You must sneak after Quick-saving/Quick-loading.

In sneak mode, use Science to activate the bomb.

A mutant will come over and punch you. If you get a message telling you that you are not skilled enough, Quick-load and try again.

Otherwise, move 9 spaces so you are directly under the door-frame.

Enter Sneak and hit enter to exit combat. If it does not let you exit combat, try spamming enter and 1 but if it still does not you will need to Quick-load and try again.

2) The Combat Glitch Strat (Hard to execute, much faster.)

Use science on the bomb.

You will have a tiny window between activating the bomb and the mutant turning hostile.

You must activate the combat glitch during this window.

If you are hit, it was too late, and you need to Quick-load.

If no text appears confirming the bomb was set, you were too early.

Exit out of combat and try again.

If you are in combat, the mutant hasn’t aggroed, and there is a message confirming the bomb is active, you have successfully executed the strat.
