Navigate The Outer Worlds' 'The Doom that Came to Roseway' quest. Find the Covert Lab, deal with outlaws, corporate troopers, and raptidons, and secure Anton's research data.
Walkthrough
- 1Find the Covert Lab: Follow the road from the southern gate of Roseway to the "Auntie-Biotics Secret Lab 0027." Expect opposition from marauders and a scrap automechanical near a fork in the road.
- 2Choose an Entrance:
- Southern Fork (Lillian): Approach the door guarded by Lillian. You may need a Persuade 45 check to get her to open up. She might ask you to start the quest 'Journey Into Smoke' to retrieve her cigarette case. It's recommended to do this before entering the lab.
- 3Eastern Fork (Unguarded Entrance): This entrance leads directly to Porter, the head of security for the corporate troopers.
- 4Uphill Southern Entrance (Ventilation Shaft): Head uphill south from Lillian's entrance to find a ventilation shaft that leads closer to the outlaw leader.
- 5Infiltrate and Neutralize Raptidons (Stealth Approach):
- Enter via the ventilation shaft atop the hill south of Lillian's entrance.
- 6Make your way down a walkway to the east and unbar a door to enter the main lab area.
- 7Head south to avoid the raptidon warehouse.
- 8In the hallway, sneak past or snipe the Outlaw Sniper patrolling in front of the main raptidon lab.
- 9Continue south to the end of the hallway, then turn east and go down a ramp.
- 10In the more open area, you'll encounter Cassandra O’Malley, the outlaw leader, behind bars. Agreeing to help her escape will turn all outlaws neutral.
- 11Deal with the raptidons in the main lab area.
- 12Deal with Factions: After neutralizing the raptidons, you can then deal with the corporate troopers and outlaws. Your choices here will affect the outcome of the quest and potentially other quests like 'Journey Into Smoke'.
Tips
- Sneaking can significantly reduce the number of hostile encounters.
- Killing the Outlaw Sniper or siding with Cassandra O'Malley will make the outlaws neutral, simplifying navigation.
- The Covert Lab is also a location for advancing quests 'The Amateur Alchemist' and 'The Distress Signal' (part of this questline).
- Consider completing 'Journey Into Smoke' before making major decisions within the Covert Lab, as your actions might affect it.
