• Is that even safe? > Timed choice
• [Stand]

Reach the elevator

The next section you need to get through the hotel, working at reaching the elevator to get down to the parking garage. You start out with no weapons, so you will want to be as stealthy as possible. Follow the objective down to the lower floor.

Wait for an opportunity to take out the guards [Optional]

You’ll likely do this without trying, as long as you didn’t immediately sprint downstairs and alert the guards to your presence. This objective is completed when they move into positions in the lower room after talking to each other.

Deal with the guards

Sneak up behind one of the guards and take them out, Jackie will deal with the other one.  These two you have to deal with to progress, but later ones you are able to sneak by without attacking.

If you loot the guards you can find submachine guns and silencers that you can put on them, but it wouldn’t be recommended you shoot anyone if trying to remain in stealth. It’s much more recommended that you use takedowns all the time if possible.

Go through the marked door behind Jackie, and there will be two more guards in the next hallway. Wait for them to finish talking, then one will walk away. Be aware of the camera up to the left, then you can take out the guy waiting. Make sure to move any bodies out of the way in this section. There aren’t any actually bins or anything to put them in, but you can move them somewhat out of the way to try and stop later patrols from finding them.

You can take out the second guy as he’s standing looking at the window, but watch for two more guards to come from the left side.

These two you can sneak behind and continue left, they won’t move from this spot. Follow the marked path into the next room, and watch for two more enemies to walk in from the far side.

You can stick to the left of the room to avoid them, again not needing to take them out if you don’t want to. Past there you will enter a larger room, with two more guards, one standing in spot in front and another walking down to the right. You can take out the one in front if you want, just watch because you might be eventually spotted by the two who were standing in place earlier.

Continue following the path, then you’ll come up to a lone guard in front of the flickering Arasaka screen that you can take out.

There will be two guards shouting in front of a door, you can ignore them, waiting for them to enter that room to look around then walk past. Continue hugging the right wall of the area, your objective will update to a new elevator.

Search the Arasaka officer

An armored enemy will come out of the next elevator, and they have a keycard you need to obtain to use it. They will hang out in this area around the elevator, so they don’t wander off if you want to deal with them in stealth. Try and distract them to take out the enemy standing to the right of the elevator, then deal with the officer. If you want here you could also just shoot them then quickly search and run for the elevator, though this alerts the rest of the enemies to where you are.

Head to the lobby

Once you have the security card, enter the elevator to go down to the lobby.

Dialogue:

• Think this is funny?! > Timed choice, both options have the same outcome.
• Save your strength. > Timed choice
• ‘Cause you say so?! > Timed choice, both options have the same outcome.
• Talk to T-Bug. > Timed choice

Reach the elevator to the garage

You’ll now be in the lobby, and there will be four guards in here. If you have been spotted you will have all of them shooting at your right when you come out of the elevator, so you will need to deal with them to get past. If you’re sneaking, hug the left wall all the way around to the elevator, avoiding a couple more guards on the way.

If you are fighting, after defeating all four guards in the lobby a mech will drop in from above, at which point you should probably just make a run for the elevator.

Take the elevator to the garage

• Get in the elevator and take it down to the garage.

Enter the Delamain

The cab is waiting for you just to the left inside the garage. There are enemies surrounding it, so whether you are still stealth or not your best bet is just sprinting to the door and getting inside.

Get rid of the drones

During the ride, you will start being pursued by a set of three drones, two small and one large. You will automatically lean out of the car and need to shoot down all three.

Dialogue:

• Jackie, we did it! > Timed choice, both options have the same outcome.
• You’re pale, look like a corpse. > Timed choice
• Take us to a rippderdoc! > Timed choice, all three options have the same outcome.
• So hurry up! > Timed choice
• How bad is it? > Timed choice
• We’ll only get the best jobs from now on! > Timed choice, both options have the same outcome.
• Think about Misty! You’ll see her soon! > Timed choice

The next choices determine something that happens later in the story. It’s recommended you tell Delamain to take Jackie’s body to his family, because this gives an extra side quest later.

• Nowhere. Wait for me here.
• Take him home, to his family. > Recommended choice, gives a unique side quest later on.
• Take him to Vik Vektor’s clinic. > Some unique dialogue occurs later in the story.
  • Just… give me a minute. > Optional
• [Get out] > Exit car
• [Touch shoulder] See you in the major leagues. > Optional

Head to room 204

Go inside the motel, and upstairs to room 204 to meet with Dex.

Talk to Dex

Inside the room, talk to Dex.

Dialogue:

• Yep, he’s there. Dead. > Both options have the same outcome.
• What the fuck do you think?
• Got it right here. > Both options have the same outcome.
• No luck.
• We gotta leave town. Call Evelyn. > Both options have the same outcome.
• You’re the one who got us into this!

Go to the bathroom

Go into the bathroom.

Wash your face

Interact with the mirror, then wash off your face or smash the mirror if you want.

Leave the bathroom

When finished, walk back out of the bathroom.

Dialogue:

• The fuck are you doing? > Timed choice, both options have the same outcome.
• I’ll fucking kill you! > Timed choice.
