Fallout 3 Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Is there any hope of getting Elliot out alive without using cheats?
1 of 9: Not much, but you can give it a try.
2 of 9: If you have the alien blaster from the UFO crash site (or the one from the Broken Steel add-on), you could stick close to Elliot and quickly kill energy-shielded aliens with head shots. The blaster is powerful enough that even the toughest aliens should go down after only two head shots.
3 of 9: Read on if you want to try another way that'll save on alien blaster ammo.
4 of 9: Quicksave before you enter the storage bay and get the aliens' attention, then run straight for the generator.
5 of 9: Don't mess with it, but instead quickly activate and use the teleporter that's near it.
6 of 9: Run for the exit to the Engineering Bay and see if Elliot follows you out. If not, you'll have to quickrestore and try again.
7 of 9: If he did follow you, talk to him and tell him to stay in the core.
8 of 9: Return to the Cryo Lab and teleport back to the generator area so you can rig the thing to blow up. (Do so sneakily so you won't come under attack.)
9 of 9: After it explodes and the objective counts as completed, do any last combat and looting you want, then return to the core. Elliot should still be safe and sound -- we hope!
