Cool Hand Vic

**Cool Hand Vic** is a Story quest in the *We All Fall Down* DLC.

## Objectives

* Find a way out
* Retrieve Whip and Dart Gun
* Escape through the top intake vent

## In-Game Description

It must have hurt terribly to have me see you in there. And to know I would blame you, always.

I wonder if you escaped? Or did you die in there?

That was... surprisingly easy. But now I need to actually get out. They must have my tools stashed somewhere among all this rubbish.

To get out, I'll have to go up. Freedom is close by. But what will I do with it? I'll be a wanted woman.

## Walkthrough

Open the prison door and head left, then climb up the scaffolding to reach the second floor. Here, the player will meet Johnny Bolton.

Johnny will inform the player that they need to destroy Haworth Labs in order to stop Verloc's schemes, but that Victoria will need explosives and the layout plans in order to do so.

Continue to the right, then turn around and jump over to the vent, go left until reaching a hole on the right. This is where the player has to escape to later.

Go forth before dropping down on the lights below, then head inside of the vent system. The player will be dropped onto the ground due to a hole in the vent. Continue to the right before dropping down on the lower floor.

Sneak past the bobbies and head down the stairs to Floor C, turn left and go up the stairs and into the small room to the right. Choke out the worker and climb up into the vent in front of him.

Go forth and drop down into the storage room, interact with the safe and then swing back up to the vent. It's best to load the Dart Gun while the player still has a moment to breathe. While going through the vent, Victoria will fall to the floor, the bobbies will notice her and call for the others.

Instead of fighting all of the bobbies, run up the stairs, knock down the bobby coming down the stairs using the whip, swiftly turn around and shoot the conductor, run up the stairs, shoot the second conductor, jump up on the scaffolding to the second floor, and go to where the exit it.

Be careful not to fall to the ground again, as that's where the bobbies are. Swing up to the ledge and interact with the stairs to escape. This ends the quest.
