My fourth and final playthrough for Fallout: New Vegas, this is the same ending as the one featured in Season Two of Fallout, the live-action drama action series by Microsoft Bethesda Television Studios, Amazon MGM Television Studios and Amazon Television Studios, interestingly I never knew that this ending was the one from the series. I’ve only learned about this yesterday during my search online.
Right, listen up as this will require some effort if you want to win.
Assume everything else in the game is done so far for the NCR before attempting to attack the Legion at the Dam, this also means saving President Kimball during the quest “You’ll Know It When It Happens”. After that, everything else will be to ensure that NCR are ok with us and not against us, until we commence the final assault against the Legion.
Once you’ve completed all the quests for the NCR and securing a treaty with Elder McNamara at the Brotherhood of Steel Base in Hidden Valley, making sure that the Great Khans leave the Mojave and securing allies with the Nightkin in Jacobstown, allies with the Boomers at Nellis and allies with residents of Novac as well. All the other stuff needs doing before the next section below.
You’ll need a Legion Centurion Helmet, Legion Centurion Armor, weapons of your choosing, Stimpaks, Super Stimpaks, RadAway, Rad-X, Hydra (which fixes limbs), etc., also make sure you have a Speech Skill of 100.
Now, head to the El Dorado Substation when requested by Yes Man to install an override module in the terminal there, to get inside without alerting the NCR, use a StealthBoy before entering into the substation. After that, report back to Yes Man.
Assuming you’ve killed the enemies at Cottonwood Cove beforehand, head to Cottonwood Cove and wear the Centurion disguise, you’ll need it to enter The Fort at Fortification Hill, so we’re going to use the barge by the docks at Cottonwood Cove (you’ll need to look at the base of the barge and select “The Fort” prompt). Once you reach the area, avoid the guards that have dogs and the guards who are walking around as these will trigger every enemy in the area to become hostile towards you. Utilise the tents to jump between areas and navigate the eastern flank to reach the Weather Monitoring Station.
Once you arrive at the monitoring station, head inside the building and kill all of the enemies, then loot them for additional supplies. Insert the Platinum Chip into the console next to the door to access the vault below.
Head into the Securitron Vault and install the Mark II Upgrade for the Securitrons, this will help you with defeating the Legion later. Head back outside and Fast Travel back to Cottonwood Cove, here switch out your gear to the one that allows you to have a Neutral reputation with the NCR. The next part is the final assault against the Legion at the Second Battle of Hoover Dam.
That’s it, everything else is you and your army against the Legion. Once the Legion are defeated, speak to Legate Lanius and use the Speech Checks in order to get him to surrender. Now speak to General Oliver and pass the different dialogues until you reach the dialogue about showing your army of Securitrons and then request Oliver to step down, he’ll outright refuse and so you now show no quarter against him and the remaining NCR in the camp.
Once they are all defeated, the trophy/achievement for “No Gods, No Masters” unlocks upon victory!
Good luck! ;)
