Guide to Byzantium (Second Visit) in The Outer Worlds 2, covering Minister's Estate, The Chimerist's Last Experiment, and Retrieve the Chemicals.
Walkthrough
- 1Head down the steps from the landing pad and find Carmen Imagawa leaning on a shipping crate (24300XP). She will direct you to speak to Minister Clarke at his estate.
- 2To get the key, go to Billingsly's House of Inebriation in Prosperity Plaza. Talk to the Bartender Mechanical and buy three lots of Spectrum Vodka if you don't have any.
- 3Talk to Guard Mayfield standing by the bar. He'll mention he has a key to Minister Clarke's estate. Offer to buy him a drink; he'll ask for Spectrum Vodka. Keep talking to him until he's drunk three, then he'll wander off.
- 4Follow Guard Mayfield and steal the Minister's Estate Key from him (24300XP).
- 5Continue to the Estates District. Minister Clarke's estate is at the southeast end of the street.
- 6Speak to the guard outside the front door. He'll state Minister Clarke is expecting a delivery.
- 7Fast travel to the Halcyon Parcel Service and talk to Olive Yates. You'll need to make a Persuade (41) or Intimidate (41) check to have her give you the parcel.
- 8Return to Minister Clarke's house with the parcel. The guard will let you through.
- 9If you were unable to make the speech checks, sneak around the side and use the Minister's Estate Key to enter through the back door.
- 10Once inside, go upstairs, turn left, and go through the door at the end of the landing.
- 11Find a book on the sideboard for your crew's quarters.
- 12Go to the next room and speak to Minister Clarke. Tell him you're looking for dimethyl sulfoxide.
- 13Clarke will reveal he is under house arrest and Chairman Rockwell is responsible. He will direct you to the HHC headquarters (24300XP) and give you an access card.
- 14Clarke will also give you a data cartridge with a message for The Earth Directorate, initiating The Lying Earth.
- 15If you entered under the pretence of delivering a parcel, talk to him again to give him the parcel, which is the latest issue of 'Dissident Hunter'.
- 16Across the road from the Fenhill Estate is the home of Eva Chartrand. Enter her house using the key Lilya gave you.
- 17Head across to a room on the other side of the atrium and use the terminal there to unseal the door to her laboratory.
- 18You can view the logs in the laboratory.
- 19Go through the unsealed door and take the elevator down. Dr. Chartrand will tackle you.
- 20Tell her Lilya Hagen sent you to kill her. If she assumes you're working for the Board, tell her you're working for SubLight. When she asks about her colleagues, you can Lie (1) to get her to talk about her research.
- 21Choose one of three options: Kill Eva (15000XP, negative Board Reputation), tell her to keep working with the Board (15000XP, Board Reputation), or tell her to work with Phineas Welles (15000XP, negative Board Reputation).
- 22If you choose to have her work with the Board or Phineas Welles, her corporate minders will object to you leaving with classified information. You can Persuade (100) or bribe (2322 bits) them to leave peacefully. If you've been working with Sophia, name drop her. Otherwise, you'll have to fight them.
- 23Make your way into the HHC Building and take the lift up.
- 24If you didn't crack the lock earlier, there's a high level door in the bottom left corner leading to a boardroom. Look under the table for 450 bits.
- 25The next door is opened by the minister's keycard.
- 26When you go in, you will be tackled by Percival Platt; you can fob him off.
- 27A hole in the wall allows access to the chairman's office. Pick up the broken snowglobe on the floor to go into SAM's cubbyhole.
- 28Use the terminal on the desk. Select the option to send Minister Clarke's message to Earth (28500XP, negative Board Reputation).
- 29If you have Hack 100, you can read the Shipment Status Report.
- 30Select the "View Priority Message" / "Print Ministry Keycard" option to obtain a Ministry of Accuracy and Morale Keycard (24300XP) and view a presentation from Chairman Rockwell, unlocking the Audience Gasps trophy.
- 31If Max is with you, he'll want to sound out your thoughts on what you've just learned.
- 32To enter the Ministry of Accuracy and Morale via the Freight Port: If you viewed the Shipment Status Report, fast travel to the Freight Port landing pad and talk to Carmen Imagawa. Ask her to sneak you into the shipment.
- 33Follow her behind the landing pad and hide in the cargo pod. This will bring you directly to the laboratory, which is a Restricted Area without an ID.
- 34If you get detected by the guards, you'll get swarmed, so be stealthy.
- 35Go up the western ramp by the workbench and follow the path.
Tips
- If you killed Clive Lumbergh earlier and want a unique weapon, kill Dr. Chartrand.
- If you want to avoid making the guards hostile, tell Dr. Chartrand to work for Phineas and then kill her afterwards.
- If you want to minimise reputation loss, just kill Dr. Chartrand and leg it.
