Close to the crane, on top of the dam. Make sure you activate it in the cistern first (room six).

Possible dumb question: where/when do I get the quest to go to the mines? I think Vargas mentions it in one sentence somewhere but no one has placed it on my map. Currently I'm on order to return to the Citadel, I've just finished Damonta and omw to clear Prison before returning. Is next stop the mine or have I missed it?

He radios you when you start getting close to it on the map, iirc. Just walk on over there.

Do you mean Leve L'upe mines? It's just a small sidequest you get when you get close to the area. It's located south / southwestish of ranger citadel. Just poke around the canyons, it's pretty hard to miss. It's only challenging if you go there early, like after Highpool/Ag center. You'll roll it over without problems.

lol they did this in the patch:

"- Griffith Park: Maggie now leaves the area when Mayweather turns on the players and all three churches hate the player. It’s not in her character to attack the player unless it’s defensive only."

which means when she disappears, other quests and turn-ins break. goddamnit

Don't worry, in my game I was able to kill most everyone except the people in the hospital area and Brother Guano without the temple going hostile. You can definitely kill nameless monk guards down there without making the monks hostile, and you can definitely side with the monks after doing it.

You can get to the nuke and toaster without killing anyone. Just got to that point yesterday myself.

If you use the unguarded entrance near the corner of ground level where the merchant is, you can get there relatively easily. Iirc you need computer science to get through the door to the hatch leading down. Go straight after the first door until you basically run into another door in the first possible corner. Get through that door and after that it's pretty straightforward demolitions/perception work to follow the tunnel to the toaster room. That corner door can be somewhat time sensitive to get through as there are patrols. Actually, I failed to disarm it and it blew up on my face, but nobody cared enough to notice.

When you enter it, a pack of pigs are attacking a funeral and you have about 3 seconds to accept the help! quest AND manually target a pig before they eat the alleged area boss.
It you go five steps to the right from the entrance you find a poorly hidden slavers den, only god knows what quests you break if you enter it out of curiosity.

Thanks, I managed to get in without spilling any blood and Brother whatever came down when I inspected the Nuke and gave me a quest to go get a new one. I'm torn though. I haven't visted the DBM yet but man have I killed a lot of their guys. I don't really want anyone to have the nuke. Is it possible to screw over everyone?

Yes you can screw over everyone. don't side with DBM, disarm the nuke and plunge the monks into chaos
You'll have to shoot your way through the Temple map and both factions + bandits to go back west if you do that.
if you do the DBM assault and disarm they nuke they are a bit pissed, but they are stable/assholes and let you through for a small fee

You can shoot your way into the DBM depot at any time, they have 4 autoturrets and elevated snipers though.

Thinking on the ending, I'm not really a fan of what they did with the Cochise AI. Having it be responsible for the nuclear war, mostly exonerating humanity for the biggest atrocity in the world- and having it lecture about how humans are the real monsters in the same breath? I can't really tell what the game is going for.

That's exactly what I just did :shobon:

(temple of titan) Because gently caress anyone having nukes and especially a bunch of tactilol dickheads like DBM. They're a step up from the haywire monks which is the reason I helped them take over, but handing them a nuke? Nope! I wonder what the reward is for delivering the nuke, but eh, whatever.

Greetings programs! You might be wondering what this file is. This is Vargas's Snake game on the computer in Ranger Citadel. More specifically it's a program for a computer based on a 6502 processor... which we here at inXile emulated within the game. Replace this file with your own 6502 program and you have your very own 1980's 64k computer! Programs are loaded into memory location $7000, keyboard input at $FFF0, random number at $FFFA. Look at the code of this game to get hints on how to access the graphics (low res 32x32 and high res 160x160) and text mode. We even created a special font for text based games. There's lots of great resources online for programming for the 6502. Relive the glory of the computers of the 80's. From everyone here at inXile, a huge thank you to our backers for making Wasteland 2 a reality. Many of us started programming on 6502 based machines. They hold a special place in history and in our hearts. Just like the original Wasteland. We wanted to throw in a little Easter Egg for our backers who also remember peeking and poking and seeing '0x20' and thinking 'Jump'. Be sure to share your programs on our Wasteland 2 forum at inxile-entertainment.com! We'll have more helpful dev info there (full memory mapping details, soft switches, code snippets, etc) once people begin to discover this Easter Egg. Happy coding! ;) -inXile

Hey does this game have some sort of loot adjustment mechanics because over the last week of play I've noticed that if I open a chest for the first time, there seems to be a decent chance of a weapon and some other goodies inside it, but if I mess up and die and reload to before I did that and re-open the same chest there's usually only one or two pieces of ammo inside...out of curiosity I spent 15 min opening and reloading a couple and it seems that each time the second+ result was boring and trivial.

Is there any way to deal with the robots in the middle of the airplane graveyard in Damonta?
