Necropolis
After taking care of the Brotherhood of
Steel, head over to Necropolis. Once you arrive there you
should head to the north where you will find a manhole cover
surrounded by Ghouls. Take out the Ghouls and open the
manhole cover and go in. Now you are in the sewers.
From here on there will be several areas that have monsters, big
rats and what not to kill, if you feel like taking these creatures
out by all means do so, but I will cover the overall view of this
area and important things that need to be done and leave some of
the less important details up to you.
Head north and take your first left passage
then take take the next passage heading north into the next
area. There you will find the ghoul leader. Talk to
him for a while and you can ask him about the water chip and it's
possible location he will try to convince you to help fix their
water pump before you take the water chip. This is a good
idea as it gains you some experience, first you need to find the
parts for the pump.
Head to the right and then take the first
passage to the north then you will come to an area where you can go
left and north or right and north. If you go to the right you
will find some monsters and some ghoul corpses, one of which has a
plasma pistol on it. If you head to the left and go north you
will go into another area.
In the next area there is a ladder to the
northeast. Take this ladder to the surface you are now in the
watershed area. Go out of the building and north to the
manhole cover near the mutant standing in the road. Go down
the manhole and back into the sewers under the watershed then go
south then east, fight the creatures there, then head north and
east again and the parts should be sitting on the ground in that
general area. Once you have the parts you can go back to
where the ghoul leader is located. He will give you some
books to help your repair skill (so you can fix the pump) if the
skill is not high enough otherwise he just tells you to get on with
it and fix the pump. Head back to the watershed area where
the mutants were. Head to the building north of the mutant in
the road. Talk to the nightkin Harry who will interrogate you
as to what you are doing. Make sure to save before doing this
as you can bluff your way past him, but only if you choose the
proper dialogue, and if your intelligence stinks then you might
just have to fight through the mutants anyway. If you can
convince Harry that you are a new form of robot then you gain some
experience (I think you gain xp) for bluffing your way past him and
the mutants won't bother you, otherwise just take them out.
Also if you are talking to Harry you might come upon the option of
asking to meet their leader, if you take this option you will
automatically be transported to the third level of the military
base where you will face off against the mutant lieutenant, this is
not a good idea at this point since you are probably not tough
enough to take him out, but you could give it a go, I'll outline
how to destroy the military base later on.
The water pump is in the upper right hand
corner of the room to the east. Use the parts on the pump and
if your repair skill is good enough the pump will start running
again. Then head to the south past the water tanks and talk
to the ghoul that is locked up in the middle cell. He will
give you some info about where the water is coming from if you let
him out and you gain some xp. If you can't let him out (your
lockpick stinks) then just go to the door on the far right and open
it and head down through the manhole there. Down below is a
Vault! Surprise, surprise right? Take out the glowing
ghouls that are in your way and head into the Vault. Go down
the elevator to the third floor and head over to the east where the
command center is located. Take out the ghouls that are in
your way and then use the computer that is still operating over to
the east and you will obtain a new water chip!
Miscellaneous
There are some other things you can do in the
Necropolis, one of which is talk to Set the ghoul that the ghoul
leader in the sewers talks about, he is located above ground right
above the ghoul's base in the sewers. Take a ladder up from
that area and you will find yourself in the area where Set and his
ghouls are located. If you come up from a certain manhole you
will find yourself in a room inside the building with no
doors. There is a secret door to the south on the west wall
that can be found if you search for traps (or if your Perception is
high) and then you have to lockpick it before you can open
it. In general there is not much to Set he doesn't help you
out at all, all he offers to you is a reward if you take out the
mutants in the watershed area. There is not much to his
reward although killing the mutants in the watershed does give you
added experience, so if you are tough enough you might as well take
them out. The other thing to do is take out Set and his
helpers, I don't think that you lose karma in fact you might gain
some, by this time they should not be much of a challenge for
you.
Vault 13
Head back to Vault 13 and present the water
chip to the Overseer in the command center. He is located in
far east section of the third level. Your quest is done
right? Not yet, now you need to head back out and find out
where the mutant threat is coming from. Next will be the
Boneyard.
