I'm on the stairs after the 'room' with the note and 2 ammo crates. I've taken out the 2 speakers in this section, as well as the one before the note/ammo 'room'.

When I continue up the stairs, it looks like the next speaker to take out is above an exit to another corridor (just by the Terminal that turns off the alarms), but I can't take it out!!!!

I've tried from every angle I can in this section of walkways. I get off 2 or sometime 3 shots if I shoot is from the side before my head blows off.
If I run further in to this walkway section, to face it dead on before shooting, I'm lucky to get off one shot before my head blows off.
I've tried to find if it can be shot at from a different location but if it can, I've not found it.
I've tried different weapons (including a Frag Grenade lol). I even tried turning the Difficulty down to Very Easy

It's like succeeding in taking out the speaker also blows my head off, so I'm wondering if I've missed something?

I've looked at other posts and it seems to me I'm in the right place and shooting the right speaker.

I've been at it, just this one speaker, for over an hour; what am I doing wrong?

Anyone able to help?


ooooops STUCK not STCUK - see what a state I'm in lol

The last part of the vault?
I just ran past them real quick, (no armor on to give me any movement penalty)

Did you run into the corridor under the speaker I can't take out? I tried that but was still bleeping = head blown off. But haven't tried it without armour etc - will try that next. SO close to end and stuck ******* hell lol

If you're at the part i think you're at:
1. I walked up the stair until I came to a corner where it stopped beeping.
2. After that I ran up the next stair then turned right and jumped on top of the beam.
3. Then jumped directly to the other platform and made a right turn and ran until the collar stopped beeping.

It's hard to time but it worked for me.
Could always check the wikia for tips and tricks.

Ok there are 3 speakers in that room. One is above the door in the first small room (the door that leads right into the cloud). You should be able to take it out from the safe spot at the stairs. Second speaker you can't shoot. Third one you can. You should have just enough time to run to the console, shoot the 3rd speaker and deactivate the alarms. That's how I always did it.

gabriel - "If you're at the part i think you're at:" - yep, that's where I'm at - if I can't take the speaker out I'll try the run.

Snowy - "Ok there are 3 speakers in that room" yeah I got those first 2, it's the last one I'm stuck on.

I really appreciate the help guys - I'm going to take a break and come back at it fresh. Fingers crossed (oh, no, maybe not - can't hold the controller if I do that).

I know where your at i think... there is that upper shielded speaker that you cant destroy.
anyways that room has 2 doors the one on the right going up the stairs(the one with the shielded speaker) the other going to to the "cloud" anyways the one with the cloud has the speaker right on the top to in the corner of the door shoot it then jump onto the turnbind or what ever it is look up there you'll see the 3rd speaker you can shoot it with a shotgun(if you have it) or the pistol, the 2nd one you cant, so you'll have to run past it once pass it you can take the 1st right its a big jump so good luck then bam! you pass that part. here is a link if you need it.

Thats the part right?

I hope that helps.

YEY SUCCESS YEY
I watched the youtube walkthrough links posted by Breathedeep (in this thread) and gabriel77dan (in a different thread) and the penny dropped.

I am such an idiot - what I didn't realise was the importance of turning off the alarm as well :banghead:

Thank you so much. I am now a good 2 feet further along :biggrin: and ready to make my next big mistake .... so be warned ............. I may well be back.

You guys are great, again, thanks :twirl:

Oh god, you're at the three holograms, that part had me stuck for 20 minutes. (the previous part took me 5 (guess I'm lucky. ) )

So I am - celebrated for all of 10 seconds
If it took you 20 minutes, I guess I'll be back in about 2 or 3 hours then (and probably in tears). What a strange way to spend my evening lol

Hmmmm I'm missing something - got to the vault and so on then remembered I'd seen a security pass back down below in the red gas. Went back to get it and since then my health just keeps going down no matter what - so yep, guess I missed something .... but that's cool - I'll find it.
Had to quit for a while - my buddies shouting for me to play with them so FNV will have to wait a couple hours

Well I've no idea why my health continued to drop (and wouldn't stop dropping) after I got out the toxic cloud, but it didn't matter. I loaded an earlier save and skipped going back for the security pass.

It took several tries at it (just like ALL of Dead Money), trying this and that, but finally I got out the Vault and back to the Villa.

PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just going to pick up my stashed items, check out the few unexplored areas and GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE!

Just wanted to thank you guys again for the help: this is the first time I've come close to giving up on a quest - but I'd have been p****d off if I'd not finished it, so, MANY THANKS :wink_smile:
Byeeeeeeeeee

I died so many times in the last part of Dead Money it's not even funny. Good luck to you though. :thumbsup:

You said a mouthful there!

Hmmmmm, back in the Wasteland - you think I'd be happy ...... but life seems so dull now :wink_smile:

Seriously though, thanks to all.

This part of the vault sums up the expression "Be quick or being dead."

Whip out that police pistol or what ever your accurate with and shoot before you jump, then take a big jump across the beam. Thats how I always did it.

Thank goodness my platforming and FPS skills aren't rusty.

I know what you mean, the Mojave doesn't seem that much dangerous without undead regenerating enemies, cloud, tons of traps, and beeping collar. I wish ghost people weren't exclusive to ust the sierra madre. I would love an enemy that gave me a nice supply of throwing spears. I still can't understand why they didn't give us some gas suit and mask armor/apparel. Thats annoying. I could unerstand not looting the ghost people because their all gooey with mbalming fluid and copper gas. But a few ounds of abraxo could clean that right up or maybe just let us find a non tampered with gas suit. (Need 35 lockpicking to get off properly the first time)

Gotta miss that ambience though, they know how to make creepy music/sounds.
