Fallout 3 Hints

(Optional) Recover 30 bottles ... and bring them to Ronald Laren.

  • 1 of 4: Ronald Laren will talk to you after you get the "Recover 30 bottles of Nuka-Cola Quantum and bring them to Sierra Petrovita" objective. If you agree to give the Nuka-Cola Quantum bottles to him instead of Sierra, you'll get this objective.
  • 2 of 4: Work on the other objective until you have 30 quantums, then return to Girdershade and talk to Ronald.
  • 3 of 4: Hand your quantums over to get 1200 caps, or 2400 if you succeeded in a Speech Challenge earlier to get more money. You'll also lose some karma for helping Ronald.
  • 4 of 4: You can still sell extra quantums to Sierra for 50 caps each, but you can't get the nuka-grenade schematic.
