Fallout 3 Hints

Nuka-Cola Clear Tips

  • 1 of 11: There's a little side quest sort of thing that you can optionally do if you fight and "kill" Milo the robot, then loot his body for a safe key.
  • 2 of 11: After getting the safe key, go to the research room, which is just west of the Factory Floor area's entry room.
  • 3 of 11: Open the wall safe that's near the NW corner of the research room, and take the Nuka-Cola Clear Formula from it.
  • 4 of 11: The only thing you can do with the formula is sell it.
  • 5 of 11: You could sell it to any regular merchant, but there's one particular interested buyer who'll pay a lot more for it than anyone else will.
  • 6 of 11: If you found Winger Mercier's corpse and got the "Finding the Formula" document from it, you'll know where to go.
  • 7 of 11: Head NE to the Red Racer Factory (location 7 on the Zone 8 Map) and go around to the building's east side.
  • 8 of 11: There, you'll meet up with Goalie Ledoux and his two hockey-playin' bandit buddies. Ledoux is the one who wants the formula.
  • 9 of 11: Quicksave before you approach him, then talk to him and sell him the formula, preferably using the Speech Challenge to get 400 caps for it instead of 250.
  • 10 of 11: After you make the sale, quicksave again and try to kill Ledoux and his two pals. It'll be tough, but if you succeed, you can get a unique hockey mask from Ledoux that'll add 25 to your action points when you wear it.
  • 11 of 11: You can also get the Nuka-Cola Clear Formula back and sell it to a merchant to make even more caps.
