Quest stages of An Organic Solution

1. Investigate Ella's bunker

I found a bunker in the Mire. I should explore it and see what I can find.

Find and use Ella's Terminal > Research Studies > RadShield.

2. Find Ella's research

I found the terminal of a woman named Ella Ames who said she was braving the Mire to deliver some research. She claimed it was for something called RadShield that could be more powerful than Rad-X. I should find the research to see if it could prove successful.

Go to Southhampton Estate and find Ella Ames' body. Take the holotape.

3. Read Ella's research

I found Ella's body and her research. I should read it to learn more about RadShield and the strangler pods she was experimenting with.

Listen to Ella's Reseach holotape > Strangler Feed.

4. Collect bone meal

Ella believed a special fertilizer would force the strangler pods to bloom. To make RadShield, I'll need a key ingredient - an irradiated bone meal found in Deathclaw nests.

The search area is quite large, but with the optional tasks you can make the search easier.

4.1. (Optional) Install the tracking station

Ella believed a special fertilizer would force the strangler pods to bloom. To make RadShield, I'll need a key ingredient - an irradiated bone meal found in Deathclaw nests. I can install and use a tracking system on her holotape if I need some extra help.

Activate Ella's Reseach holotape again > Tracking Bone Meal > Install Radio Tracking.

4.2. (Optional) Listen to the Radiation Signature Tracker radio station

Ella believed a special fertilizer would force the strangler pods to bloom. To make RadShield, I'll need a key ingredient - an irradiated bone meal found in Deathclaw nests. I can use the tracking system I installed if I need some extra help.

Switch your radio to Radiation Signature Tracker. In the upper left corner of the screen you will see an indicator showing how close you are to your target. The closer you are, the closer the signal strength will be to 100%.

Find Deathclaw Nest and take the Irradiated Bone Meal.

5. -

Ella believed combining nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium with the irradiated bone meal would produce a fertilizer strong enough to make the strangler pods bloom. I should look for these ingredients at Dyer Chemical.

Go to Dyer Chemical.

5.1. Collect nitrogen

5.2. Collect phosphorous

5.3. Collect potassium

6. Deposit the chemicals

I've found all the ingredients needed to make the fertilizer. Now I need to insert the canisters I collected at the Dyer Chemical mixing station to create the fertilizer.

7. Deposit the bone meal

I've deposited all the ingredients for the fertilizer into the mixing station. I should be able to use the terminal to combine them and flush them into the river.

8. Mix the fertilizer

Use Chemical Combination Control > Confirm > Begin Production.

9. Flush the fertilizer into the river

I created the fertilizer at a mixing station in Dyer Chemical. Now I need to flush it into the river so it can permeate the swamp and get the strangler pods to bloom.

10. Collect a Strangler Bloom

I created the fertilizer that Ella Ames recommended and flushed it into the river at Dyer Chemical. I should search the nearby river and see if the strangler pods have produced any flowers.
