Redding

Redding Quests: 1. Solve the Widow Rooney problem Reward: 1500 XP Talk to the Sheriff and offer your help while his leg heals. You'll need level 10 for him to accept you as deputy. (If you ain't got it look for random enemies) The first job he has to offer is to collect the rent widow Roony owes Ascorti, the mayor. Well, the poor old crone is completely broke, so you'll have to help her out. 2. Break up the tavern brawl Reward: 300 $ + 1500 XP Your second job as deputy. Enter the Malamute Saloon and talk to the troublemakers. Make sure you tell them that you work for the sheriff and take them both to prison. (You can convince them to quit the fight and go home but there'll be no XP and the sheriff will tell you that you failed. I think this is a bug so just lock the brawlers up) 3. Find out, who cut the whore Reward: some $ + 1250 XP The sheriff sends you to the Saloon again. Talk to the owner to learn, that a Morning Star Miner (Obediah Hackswell) cut the gal. Go to the Mine and tell him (politely) that he made a mistake and that you'll take him to prison. 4. Wipe out Frog Morton and his gang Reward: 1000$ + 2500 XP (+ Fight XP, loot) Frog Morton and his gang occupy the area around the great Wanamingo Mine. The bulk of his force is in the shed and two others are in the south-western part of the map. You'll need to hunt them all down to collect the XP and the money. Take Frog out as soon as possible for he wields a H&K G11 and you wouldn't want him to waste any ammo. (and of course one Burst is enough to blow you to kingdom come) So aim for the known weak spots of your enemies. (groin, eyes, head) Finishing this job also concludes your career as deputy for the sheriff has no more jobs to offer. 5. Find excavator chip Reward: 1000 $ + 2500 XP First of all, buy the Mine from Mayor Ascorti then talk to the two Mine owners. Both the Kokoweef and the Morning Star mine could use an excavator chip for their big mining machines. The chip is in the Great Wanamingo Mine, which as the name suggests is teeming with Wanamingos. You can enter the mine via the elevator, an open grave, town wells, or manholes. The whole city is built above a maze of tunnels and you'll need to clear them of all Wanamingos. The excavator chip is located in a machine near the elevator entrance. When fighting the Wanamingos try to aim for the legs. A crippled Wanamingo will try to run away but he is only able to walk to hexes because of his sore leg, so you'll easily be able to take him out. If you are engaged by several critters, try to cripple one and then move on to the next one. After cleansing the mines (3000XP) and retrieving the chip, sell the mine to Mayor Ascorti (2500 $ + 1000XP) and the chip to Marge LeBarge (1000 $ 2500 XP). Selling the chip to her will turn Redding over to NCR rather than to New Reno (Morning Star). Twice while you clean the mines you'll come across two Wanamingos who separated from the pack. In the den of one o these couples is a corpse containing various goodies. Miscellaneous: - Melchior Jr. is to be found in Redding, you'll meet his dad somewhat later in the Military Base - Remember Ed? (the corpse right at the exit of Vault 13 in Fallout 1) He's here in the area where Frog Morton lurks. - Before actually beginning to solve Quests here, consider taking a side trip to New Reno. Don't enter the city but look for a random encounter "Yakuza fighting Mobsters". First help the Yakuza until the mobsters are no more then fall upon your former allies. This will grant you (aside from the XP you might need for lvl 10) several sniper rifles and Wakizashi Blades (ideal for Sulik, because this knife pierces armour very often) - Painless Doc Johnson is the cheapest Doctor in the whole game: he patches you and all of your friends up for a measly 100$. So whenever your hurt come to Johnson. - Take the Jet antidote from the Vault City Doc to Doc Johnson - You can bet money on the molerat fights (there'll be Deathclaw Deathmatches when they run out of Molerats) Walkthrough Shibby Games
