Start
After finishing Docks Quest, Lo says that Dr. Amundsen is your best path to cracking Encrypted PDA.
Outline
Cracking the PDA
- Head to the Metroplex U.
- Check on Dr. Amundsen office in Combine Labs.
- It's been ransacked by the Third Eye - your new goal is to rescue Dr. Amundsen from them.
From this point on, there are two ways to complete this quest:
Finding Dr. Amundsen
- Find where Dr. Amundsen is being kept:
- If you haven't rescued David yet, you can sneak close and listen to Shard discussing where Dr. Amundsen is kept.
- If you successfully freed David, you can talk to him and he'll tell you where Dr. Amundsen is.
- If you fail to rescue David but Lo is still alive, you can talk to him and he will send you there.
- If David and Lo are both dead, you'll have to start the Lost Watch quest and the third eye ganger will tell you where Dr. Amundsen is being kept (even if you don't return the watch).
Infiltrating Third Eye hideout
- Head to the Boiler Room in the basement of Combine Labs near Metroplex U.
- To get in you'll either need to be etheric or have a stick of dynamite, or the hammer's sledge
- Adventure until you get the Underground Asylum choice encounter. Try the whispering door - it's locked.
- Adventure until you get the same choice encounter again. Go to the silent door this time and search the desk.
- Read the Asylum journal to learn that there's an extra key underneath the desk.
- Adventure until you get the same choice encounter once more. Go to the silent room and search under the desk for a key.
- Continue adventuring until you get the row of doors encounter one final time. Try the whispering door again and you'll be able to enter.
- Fight Saber. If you don't have 6 or more Etheric Defense or a very high Will he will give you a big debuff (-10 to all stats). Be warned however, you only get ONE chance at beating him - if you lose or run away, he will kill Dr. Amundsen.
Hostage negotiation
Get Hawk to look into releasing the hostages.
Rewards
- Gain Dr. Amundsen as a contact.
Quest Log
After finding Dr. Amundsen's office ransacked
Someone ransacked Dr. Amundsen's office. There's no sign of her.
But she might still be okay if you can find where they've taken her.
After talking to Hawk about Dr. Amundsen's release
It sounds like Hawk might be able to get Dr. Amundsen released if you can get him a replacement supply of Eclipse.
After unlocking the Boiler Room
Apparently, Dr. Amundsen's probably being held somewhere in the Labs at Metroplex U where she used to work. Should probably search the building's dark corners.
After trying the whispering door
You found a locked door beneath the labs that sounds like it might have a prisoner behind it, but you don't have a key.
After reading the asylum journal
Apparently, one of the old employees of the asylum kept a key underneath the desk in the library. Hopefully it's the right one.
After getting the asylum key
You've got the key, now to try the door and see if it's Dr. Amundsen there.
End (Success)
You rescued Dr. Amundsen from the Third Eye.
End (Failure)
The Third Eye killed Dr. Amundsen while you were trying to rescue her.
Notes
- Is there a starting text for this quest with Lo asking you to find Dr. Amundsen or is the text about her office being ransacked the first one you get in your questlog?
- Is the message about her room being ransacked saved somewhere, because its not in The Combine Labs page. If not we need to add it.
