Your guide to Arroyo in Fallout 2! Learn how to survive the Temple of Trials, fix the well, find Smoke, and get fighting skills from Lucas and Jordan.

Arroyo is where your adventure in Fallout 2 kicks off! It's a small village, but you've got some important tasks to tackle here before you can head out to find that G.E.C.K. Think of it as your training ground. You'll need to prove yourself by surviving the Temple of Trials, which is basically your final exam before you're allowed to leave.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Survive the Temple of Trials: This is your first big challenge. You don't need to wipe out every single critter in there, just make it through alive. It's a rite of passage, so focus on getting to the end.
  2. 2
    Fix the Arroyo Well: The village well needs some work. You'll need to figure out what's wrong and get it fixed. This is crucial for the village's survival.
  3. 3
    Find Smoke, Nagor's Dog: Poor Nagor's dog, Smoke, has gone missing. You'll need to track down the pup and bring him back to Nagor. Keep an eye out for him, especially in the wilderness areas.
  4. 4
    Get Fighting Skills: There are a couple of warriors in the village who can teach you valuable combat skills. Talk to Lucas to learn unarmed combat and Jordan to learn melee skills. These will be super useful once you leave Arroyo.
  5. 5
    Get Flint from Aunt Morlis: You'll need some flint for a specific task. Your aunt, Morlis, has some, and you'll need to convince her to give it to you.
  6. 6
    Sharpen Your Spear: Once you have the flint from Aunt Morlis, head over to the Arroyo Bridge Guard. They can use the flint to sharpen your spear, which might come in handy.
