Fallout: New Vegas Hints

(Optional) Find Keely, a researcher who has gone missing at Vault 22.

  • 1 of 5: You don't technically have to finish the "Enter Vault 22 and download the research data found there" objective before starting on this one, but that's the best way to go.
  • 2 of 5: In the hall next to the data terminal room are two doors, one of which is jammed open, and the other of which is closed and locked.
  • 3 of 5: Both doors lead to rooms with large holes in the walls. Go through either wall hole and down a cave tunnel to find the entrance to a huge cave room.
  • 4 of 5: Stay at the entrance and shoot all the mantises you can, then carefully drop down to the cave floor and finish off the mantises and the spore plants that are scattered about.
  • 5 of 5: Once they're all dead, look for Keely in the small alcove at the south end of the area. Talk to her to get another objective.
