No Gods, No Masters

## No Gods, No Masters

### Location

Hoover Dam

**No Gods, No Masters** is an end-game quest in Fallout: New Vegas and a possible epilogue.

## Synopsis

Yes Man's Securitron army will take Hoover Dam and the Courier shall establish themselves as the *de-facto* ruler of a fully independent New Vegas Strip.

## Detailed walkthrough

After telling Yes Man that they are ready to go to the dam, the Courier will start this quest on the western end of the dam with a Securitron.

As the Courier walks forward they will see the large turret to their right explode and will see four or five NCR troops ducking behind sandbags while fighting the Legion. One can then sneak past them all, kill them all, or kill just one side or the other. There are several legionaries coming from the eastern side of the dam and from the drainage towers to the left as one crosses the dam. There are some NCR snipers on top of the dam towers to the right. After crossing the dam, the Courier will have to enter the last tower to the right and use the elevator to descend to the Hoover Dam offices.

After entering the offices they will encounter two NCR heavy troopers armed with heavy incinerators burning four legionaries cowering away from them. The player character can kill both the legionaries and the NCR troops, sneak past them, or convince the NCR troops with a Speech check of 75 during dialogue. Afterward, install the override chip into the large terminal with several screens attached to it, at the end of the room. Yes Man will contact and inform the Courier that they have two options:

* Activate the Securitrons underneath the bunker at Fortification Hill.
* Deactivate the dam's power output, rendering it useless to the NCR.

Neither of these options will affect the ending. After choosing either option the Courier will have to run through the halls, where more legionaries and NCR troops will be fighting each other. The Courier can sneak past them all, kill them all, or kill just one side or the other. To get from the control room to the manual override switch, turn and follow the hall to the left after exiting the control room, then turn to the right down the next hall and go to the end of the hall and turn to the right and open the door to a balcony overlooking one of the dam's eastern plants.

Turn to the right and flip the switch, then return straight down the hall and turn through the open doorway to the left, and use the elevator to ascend to a room inside one of the eastern towers. Inside the room is a staircase to the right after coming out of the elevator. In the room upstairs from the elevator are some toilets, sinks, and a first aid box hanging on the wall. Before continuing to cross the dam, exit through the door to the left of the elevator if the elevator is behind the Courier.

As the Courier crosses to the eastern end of the dam they will see fires burning at Fortification Hill, if they decided to activate the Securitron army. Several more legionaries will be coming from the power output towers to the left and from the eastern end of the dam and may try to take cover behind the sandbags. There are also some NCR snipers on top of the towers, including the tower the Courier came out of.

If one completed the quest Volare! and helped the Boomers, they will fly the restored B-29 over the dam and bomb a number of the Legion troops. If you completed the quest For Auld Lang Syne and told the Enclave Remnants to assist the NCR against the Legion, they will fight by the Courier's side if the NCR is not hostile towards the player character, but if the NCR is hostile then Cannibal Johnson will attack the Courier, making it very likely that one will have to kill them all, except Daisy Whitman who flies away inside the Enclave Vertibird. If one decided to activate the Securitron army, then they will have several Securitrons to assist them in the battle. After crossing to the eastern end of the dam, one will have to cross the bridge to the right and follow the path to the gate leading to the Legate's camp. The path has more legionaries coming from the Legate's camp to kill or sneak past.

Follow the path down the hill from the gate and enter the Legate's camp to the right. Inside the Legate's camp are praetorian guards and legionaries to kill or sneak past. Go up the hill to meet Lanius and either kill him and his legionaries in a duel or convince him to surrender with either a 100 Speech or Barter check. After making either decision, go back to the gate at the camp entrance and the Courier will be confronted by General Oliver and six NCR Veteran Rangers. The Courier has the choice to kill them or convince General Oliver to order the NCR to leave. If the second option is chosen, the Courier then has the option of ordering Yes Man to throw Oliver off the Hoover Dam.
