Fallout: New Vegas Hints

(OPTIONAL) Get rid of Philippe and cook for the banquet using his recipe ....

  • 1 of 4: You'll find Philippe in his kitchen area near the SW end of the main kitchen corridor, but deal with the corridor guard before you do anything else.
  • 2 of 4: You're going to need to do two things with Philippe: get his recipes, then get him out of the way.
  • 3 of 4: The middle of the three stoves is the one you need to use to cook up a fake meal for the banquet. In order to do that, you'll have to have a Survival skill of 75+ or an Intelligence of 6 and Philippe's recipes.
  • 4 of 4: If you can't meet either of those requirements, you'll have to abandon this quest route and switch over to doing the Rescuing Ted Gunderson Route. (Note that all you'll need to do is drug the wine and then sneak Ted out to his father.)
