Quest Group: Main Quests
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Signal Strength.
You need to complete this quest in order to be able to gain Rose's trust and thus complete one of the objectives of The Missing Link quest.
Rose wants someone to try out some Raider tactics so she can gauge their effectiveness.
Top of the World
Appalachia / West Virginia
Monongah Overlook
Appalachia / West Virginia
Sons of Dane Compound
Appalachia / West Virginia
I need to go speak with Rose at the Top of the World. She wants me to do something for her again.
Rose is having me test out various Raider tactics to see which ones work best. Following in the footsteps of the Cutthroats, I need to add a Karma Syringe Barrel Mod to Rose's Syringer.
To be able to do this you need a Weapons Workbench and:
2 x Firecracker Berry
1 x Glowing Resin
1 x Psycho
1 x Steel
If you already have all the ingredients, you will find the nearest weapons workbench in the Top of the World building at Mezzanine Level.
You should be able to find some around the Top of the World but if you don't want to run around and look for it then you should go to Solomon's Pond and there very easily you will find some bushes of this plant.
You will find it on tree trunks around the Top of the World and south of it.
Now I need to shoot something with Rose's Syringer. Anything will do, but Rose prefers I shoot a Yao Guai. The Karma syringe will boost the target's natural abilities for a while, then they'll be easier to kill when they come crashing off of it.
Go to Monongah Overlook.
I shot my target with a Karma dart, now I have to make sure it dies.
I shot something with a Karma dart and killed it, like Rose asked.
I shot something with a Karma dart but I failed to kill it like Rose asked.
You will find them at Sons of Dane Compound.
I need to craft explosive bait, a favorite tool of the Trappers. It should attract hungry creatures and detonate when they get near, damaging them with a concussive blast.
I need to test the Explosive Bait. If I set up the bait near a hungry carnivore, the meat should attract the creature, and the explosives will detonate when it gets near.
Equip the Explosive Bait, enter the area and throw the bait down on the ground. Wait for mongrels to come and for the bomb to explode.
Rose says the Diehards weren't as aggressive as the other Raiders. She wants me to go "make friends with a Deathclaw." This sounds insane, but could it work?
You have to get close enough to it and then press Make Friends button.
I came across a Deathclaw, and as I suspected, she wasn't serious. It's clearly very hostile. I need to kill it or run away!
I killed the Deathclaw Rose had me try to befriend.
I ran away from the Deathclaw Rose had me try to befriend.
The Blackwater Bandits were master thieves, so I'm supposed to follow in their footsteps and steal a weapon from a Super Mutant camp.
The camp should be marked on your map, if it isn't then relog to fix this. I think (not sure) that its location is random. In my case it was New Gad. Go there, find the chest and loot it.
I successfully stole from the Super Mutants. Now, Rose is telling me I need to learn from the cannibalistic Gourmands. First, I need to find a group of feral ghouls and kill one.
Go to the location marked on your map (could be random, I'm not sure), in my case it was R & G Processing Services and kill a feral ghoul.
I killed a feral ghoul and ate its flesh, which was actually beneficial. I now need to go back and see Rose.
Endurance Perks > Cannibal.
I killed a feral ghoul. I can probably get away with not eating its flesh, but it won't win as many points with Rose if I don't. Whether I choose to be a cannibal or not, I need to go back and see Rose.
I followed all of Rose's instructions. I now have a bunch of new Raider tools and tactics available to me.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Key To the Past.
