'For Auld Lang Syne'Fallout New Vegas Old World Blues Main Quest Line
New Vegas Walkthrough Pc
Welcome to the Side Quests section of our Fallout: New Vegas guide. Here, you'll find details on all of the missions the game has to offer you that aren't mandatory quests necessary to complete. Do remember that our walkthrough only covers main tasks that are mandatory for the completion of Fallout: New Vegas. For everything else, you'll want to visit the Side Quests section of our guide.
Given by: Arcade Gannon [Old Mormon Fort] (M6B:1)
To start this quest you need first to have Arcade as your companion. But the appropriate conversation option will show up only if he trusts you. And to gain his trust you need to complete following quests:

[The White Wash];
[There Stands the Grass];
[Render Unto Caesar];
[That Lucky Old Sun].
NOTICE: what's important, you need to have quite a progress with the main storyline (doesn't matter for which faction) to trigger this quest.
[Speech 75] tell him, that there are some bad things in the Fort and you want to change it
[Confirmed Bachelor] tell him that you need some handsome doctor as a companion.
If you have already Arcade in your team, your next task is to convince five people to come to a Remnants meeting. You can talk to them in any order.
NOTICE: Arcade has to be your companion and be with you during every conversation with Elders.
Mpo file viewer for mac. Judah Kreger
Can be found in [Miguel's pawn shop] (MsB:3). He'll come to the meeting with no problems.
You'll receive a single word of the five-word pass phrase - 'Navarro'.
Orion Moreno
Can be found in a house near the [NCR Sharecropper Farms] (MsB:11). He'll come to the meeting with no problems.
You'll receive a single word of the five-word pass phrase - 'remember'.
Cannibal Johnson
Can be found in [Cannibal Johnson's Cave] (MsB:31). He'll come to the meeting with no problems.
You'll receive a single word of the five-word pass phrase - 'old'.
Daisy Whitman
Can be found in or near her hotel room (M4:4) in [Novac] (MsE:21). She'll come to the meeting with no problems.
You'll receive a single word of the five-word pass phrase - 'Dear'.
Doctor Henry
Can be found in the main building (M35:3) in [Jacobstown] (MsA:2). Unfortunately he has to finish his tests first and you need to complete [Guess Who I Saw Today] for him and then ask him again. He'll agree to come to the meeting then.
You'll receive a single word of the five-word pass phrase - 'friends'.
EndingOnce you've convinced all Remnants, it is time to go to the [Remnant's Bunker] (MsA:10). You can enter it only with the whole password: 'Dear old friends, remember Navarro'. Head to the briefing room (M47:1) and talk to Judah. He will ask you whether you want Enclave to fight against NCR or Caesar's Legion.
NCR
If you want to support NCR, Moreno won't be happy and will run out the room. Go after him. You'll find him outside, wearing Remnants power armor:
[Speech 80] convince him to back off;
or kill him.
Whichever option you choose, you'll get the door keycard. Go inside and you'll receive Power Armor (if you do not have one). Talk to Whitman - she'll train you how to use the armor. Leave the briefing room and the quest will be over.
LEGION
If you decided to aid the Legion, Johnson won't be happy but he will make no problems because of that. Talk to Moreno and ask him for training in Power Armor. Leave the briefing room and the quest will be over.
