Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to Vault 11 along the northern end of the El Dorado Dry Lake, then head down a natural cave tunnel to reach the opened vault door. Pick up a 10mm Pistol and some ammo near the entrance.
  2. 2
    Download the “Security Recording: Vault Entrance” from a nearby terminal and listen to the “System Recording: Vault 11 Front Entrance” note.

    Continue north through another door to encounter Giant Rats, then proceed through another door north to a small clinic infested with Mantises. Loot two First Aid Boxes.
  4. 4
    Go through a door to the west to find a hallway with two rooms. The first contains a Public Terminal discussing the vault’s democratic process. The second room contains a dead NCR Trooper to loot.
  5. 5
    Return to the four-doored room and go through a door to the east to reach a hallway. Loot bathrooms to the north, or follow the hallway east or west to find stairs down.

    Explore the lower level rooms with minor loot, bugs, rats, and rigged Terminals. Continue down until you find the door to the Vault 11 Living Quarters at the southern end of this level.

  9. 9
    In the south-western most of the northern four rooms, unlock a Personal Terminal [Very Easy] using the password found in a Footlocker under metal shelves (“Roy Gottlieb’s Terminal Password”). Download the “Security Recording” entry to get the note “Justice Bloc HQ Security Tapes”.

    Return to the hallway and head north, down stairs and through a door to reach the Vault 11 Lower Level.
