Fallout: New Vegas Hints
How can I get his recipes?
1 of 7: The only copy of them is in Philippe's inventory. (NOTE: If your Survival skill is 75+, you won't need them.)
2 of 7: The easiest way to get them is to crouch down behind Philippe and sneak-shoot him to death. Then you can raid his body to get his recipes, and he'll already be "out of the way."
3 of 7: The next-easiest way is to crouch down behind him and quicksave, then keep trying to pickpocket his recipes until you get them.
4 of 7: For a couple of other options, talk to him.
5 of 7: Say he has you confused with someone else, then confirm that you don't work for him. This will bring up three skill-related options, two of which are helpful.
6 of 7: The Barter 55 option will allow you to buy his recipes for 100 caps (or get them for free with a Speech 55 check).
7 of 7: The Medicine 55 check gets you the recipes for free, plus Philippe wanders off to be alone, which gets him out of the way.
