Fallout 3 Hints
Occam's Razor
1 of 12: This unique combat knife has the following advantages over regular combat knives: 27% more damage, 33% more health.
2 of 12: It's in the possession of the Talon Company commander, who's holed up inside Fort Bannister (location 12 on the Zone 4 Map).
3 of 12: After arriving at the fort, either fight or sneak your way over to the tent that has the manhole in it that leads to the Commanding Officer's Quarters area.
4 of 12: Make your way down the starting sewer tunnel, watching out for frag mines, a ceiling turret, and a missile-launching merc.
5 of 12: Past the merc's sandbag wall is a door that leads to a large room with several more mercs and another ceiling turret in it.
6 of 12: Go along that room's walkway until you come to a door on the right. Go through it and down the maintenance tunnel to a large room with three mercs in it.
7 of 12: Go down the stairs in that room's NE corner to reach another large room with three mercs in it, plus two more ceiling turrets.
8 of 12: The door in the SW corner of that room leads to another maintenance tunnel. Go along it until you come to a small area with two doors.
9 of 12: Ignore them and go around to the big room to the south, which is where you'll find Commander Jabsco.
10 of 12: You'll have to kill him to get Occam's Razor, and that's going to be *very* tough to do. He has a lot of health, very high weapon skills, and several weapons to choose from.
11 of 12: Also, when his health falls to 75%, two mercs will appear near his room to help him. When it gets down to 25%, a Mister Gutsy robot in his room will activate and help him.
12 of 12: After you finally manage to kill Jabsco, loot his body to find lots of items, including Occam's Razor.
