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

Find a map of the Grand Staircase region.

  • 1 of 11: After finishing the "Optional: Speak to Waking Cloud about taking her as a guide" objective, head south from the Sorrows Camp until you run into Joshua Graham. After you talk to him, you'll be able to fast travel again. (Note that you can also get merchant and repair services from Joshua again.)
  • 2 of 11: The quest arrow directs you to Morning Glory Cave (location 25 on the Zion Canyon Map), so fast-travel back to the General Store or the North Fork Bridge.
  • 3 of 11: Go south along the path until you pass the bridge on your left, then look on your right as you go for a steep slope that leads up to the cave. (Watch out for nearby yao guai and other creatures.)
  • 4 of 11: Enter the cave and talk to Waking Cloud about her superstitions regarding it, then head west to reach the main cave room.
  • 5 of 11: Quickly shoot down the spore plant that's up high on some rocks, then turn left.
  • 6 of 11: Go over to where you can use some smaller rocks to get up onto a ledge with another spore plant.
  • 7 of 11: Kill the plant, then crouch-walk south very slowly. There's a tripwire hidden in the brush that you'll want to disarm to keep two rigged shotguns from going off.
  • 8 of 11: Disarm the shotguns if you can to get some equipment, then try to open the locked door that's past them.
  • 9 of 11: If your Lockpick skill isn't 50+, you'll get the "Find a way to unlock the door to the Survivalist's cache" objective.
  • 10 of 11: However you get past the locked door, disarm or avoid the bear traps in the brush pile just past it, then enter the wooden structure.
  • 11 of 11: Look near the table with a terminal on it to find a "survival cache" duffle bag that has the map you need in it.
