Fallout: New Vegas Hints

Get rid of the Nightkin in the basement.

  • 1 of 6: Return to the REPCONN Facility area using the door you came in through, then go back down the metal walkways and stairs to get to the main floor.
  • 2 of 6: Go up the ramp in the SW corner that has a dead nightkin on it, then turn left and go down some steps to find the basement door.
  • 3 of 6: Go through the basement's first room to reach a hallway. Crouch down while facing the door to the hallway so you can get the drop on a patrolling nightkin when he walks by. (He'll be stealthed, so look for the telltale shimmer.)
  • 4 of 6: Turn left (south) after entering the hallway, then go forward to reach some steps leading down. Don't go down them, but instead turn right and go through a door.
  • 5 of 6: In the room past it is a non-hostile nightkin named Davison. Tell him you're there on behalf of the ghouls upstairs, then agree to find the stealth boy shipment to get the "(Optional) Search the nearby room for the Stealth Boy shipment the ..." objective.
  • 6 of 6: If you'd rather kill off the nightkin than bother doing that objective, sneak-attack Davison and finish him off, then search through the rest of the basement's northern rooms to find four more nightkin. When you kill the last one, you'll get the "Report to Jason Bright that the Nightkin are gone" objective.
