Post-Quest Notes

  • 1 of 8: You can come back after you get more quantums and sell them to Sierra for 50 caps each if you wouldn't rather use them for something else.
  • 2 of 8: Other uses for quantums include making them into nuka-grenades, using them to temporarily increase action points, and having Sierra make them into Mississippi Quantum Pies.
  • 3 of 8: To learn about the pies, talk to her and ask what kind of recipes she can make with Nuka-Cola Quantum.
  • 4 of 8: Ask if she can make you a Mississippi Quantum Pie, and she'll tell you if you're missing any of the ingredients.
  • 5 of 8: You need one portion of flour and one bottle of vodka in addition to one quantum bottle in order for her to make a pie. (Note that quantums you've already sold her can't be used -- you'll have to find more.)
  • 6 of 8: If you have those items when you ask for a pie, she'll take one of each item and make a pie while you wait.
  • 7 of 8: Each pie can be consumed for the following effects: rads +4, action points +20, Intelligence -1, and Strength +1. (All effects are temporary except the rads +4, of course.)
  • 8 of 8: NOTE: If all you care about is the temporary increase to action points, you might as well just use the quantums directly instead of having them made into pies. As for the pies' Strength-increasing effect, you can get that from beer and other alcoholic beverages.
