Walkthrough

1
Combat Approach:
- Enemies: Corporate troopers (40-80 armor) or escaped prisoners (under 20 armor).
2
Effective Damage Types: N-ray and corrosive for troopers; plasma for prisoners. High-damage per shot weapons (e.g., Pink Skip, Dead Eye Assault Rifle II) are effective against both.
3
Prioritize Medical Drones: These can heal and make enemies significantly tougher.
4
Stealth & Sniping: Recommended for easier advancement, especially on Hard difficulty, allowing you to pick off enemies from a distance.
5
Short-to-Mid Range Combat: Be cautious of enemy technicians with heavy weapons.
6
Hard/Supernova Difficulty: Fighting through Tartarus is not recommended; utilize stealth and dialogue options. You can return to your ship to rest and save, but cannot leave Tartarus.
7
Preparation: Upgrade weapons and armor via Tinkering. Ensure weapons have n-ray, corrosive, plasma, or high damage per shot. Aim for relevant combat skills at 60+. Consider boosting Science to 100 for more tinkering.
8
Diplomacy and Duplicity Approach (Recommended for Hard/Supernova):
- Skill Focus: Invest heavily in Dialogue (Persuade, Lie, Intimidate), Stealth, and Tech skills. Combat skills become less critical.
9
Maxing Dialogue Skills: With all Dialog skills at 100, you can talk your way through Tartarus. The Chimaera outfit (+ quest "Makes Space Suits, Won’t Travel") and Armor Master perk provide a +20 bonus. Companion boosts can add up to 40 points per skill.
10
Avoiding All Fights: Requires a Dialog skill of 100 before entering Tartarus (without boosts), or 80 points with Chimaera + Armor Master. Headwear like A Nice Hat can further reduce the requirement.
11
Lockpick & Hack: A Lockpick skill of 100 and Hack skill of 90 are needed to bypass some boss fights if not using dialogue. However, dialogue can often substitute for these. A lower Lockpick skill (55) can open some doors, but is ultimately unnecessary if Dialogue is high.
12
Other Skills: Science 90 (often with Persuade 90), Heavy Weapons 60, 2-Handed Melee 60, Handguns 90, Medical 60, and Engineering 60 (if siding with Phineas) may appear in dialogue but are less critical.
13
Preparation: Consider using the Vocational Competence Respecification Machine to reallocate skills. Maxing Dialog skills is highly beneficial for Tartarus.

Tips

For combat, prioritize corrosive damage and high-powered rifles.
For diplomacy, focus on maxing out your chosen Dialogue skill and utilizing gear bonuses.
On Supernova difficulty, diplomacy and stealth are strongly advised over direct combat.
Remember you can return to your ship to manage your character and companions, but you cannot leave Tartarus until the mission is complete.
