Fallout: New Vegas Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Dry Wells Tips

  • 1 of 6: Go to Cottonwood Cove (just west of the Colorado River, near the south end of the world map), then find the small red boat on the shore next to a dock structure.
  • 2 of 6: Before you use the boat to get to the Dry Wells area, prepare yourself for some really hard radiation. Note that Ulysses' Mask is very useful to wear, especially if you also wear armor that increases your rad resistance.
  • 3 of 6: You'll also have fights with Legion ghouls to look forward to. They can all attack you with weapons, and some of them even use stealth boys.
  • 4 of 6: There's a unique ghoul named Gaius Magnus who has a minigun (though he won't usually use it), a huge amount of health, and a very rapid health regeneration effect. He'll be utterly impossible to kill unless you use a powerful automatic weapon (such as the unique minigun) with armor-piercing rounds and/or some *serious* explosives.
  • 5 of 6: You'll find him near the NW corner of the area, unless he comes running when he hears you fighting other ghouls. Try not to get his attention until you've killed off all of the other ghouls, then lay some explosive traps for him and blast him fast! (Or use the Old World Blues' Sonic Emitter with the tarantula calibration and hope you get lucky.)
  • 6 of 6: Once all the ghouls are dead, take your time and look all around the area for loot. There are several ammo boxes and military shipping crates with great stuff in them -- *much* more than the usual ammo boxes and crates have.
