Fallout: New Vegas Hints
Interrogator Wanted
1 of 11: Go to Camp McCarran (location 37 on the Zone 1 Map) and enter the terminal building. Go through the guarded door on the west side of the upper floor to find Lt. Carrie Boyd.
2 of 11: If your rep with the NCR is "accepted" or better, you can ask if she needs any help to learn about her problems interrogating a Legion prisoner.
3 of 11: Suggest beating him senseless, then agree to do that for Boyd since she can't by law.
4 of 11: When you say to start the interrogation, Boyd will go in and talk to Silus. Wait until she comes back out, then use the door to go in.
5 of 11: If your rep with the Caesar's Legion faction is "accepted" or better, you can help Silus escape. If you can't or don't want to do that, skip to the next hint.
6 of 11: When you talk to Silus, you'll get a Speech option and an attack option, plus an Intelligence option if your Intelligence attribute is 8 or higher.
7 of 11: Any of those will work, but the attack option will get you less of a reward at the end of the quest. Use the Intelligence option (followed by more Intelligence options) if you can, and try the Speech option if you can't. Only use the attack option if all else fails.
8 of 11: If you use the attack option, you'll have to use your fists (or any wimpy little weapons you were allowed to keep) on Silus until he stops being hostile. At least he doesn't dare to fight back, so you don't need to worry about getting injured or killed.
9 of 11: After Boyd comes in, go back through the door and wait for her to come out again. Go back in and talk to Silus again, using the same method you did before (Speech options, Intelligence options, or attacking him) until he gives up and tells you two important Legion secrets.
10 of 11: After he's done talking, go back through the door and talk to Boyd to get some NCR fame plus 175 caps and 250 XP (if you beat the info out of him) or 300 caps and 325 XP (if you got the info by passing Speech checks).
11 of 11: NOTE: After you finish this quest, Lt. Boyd will be in her office near the NE corner of the upper floor.
