Hi folks,

i just started the Old World Blues DLC and having a really hard time finishing the X-13 : Attack of the Infiltrator Quest.
It is just impossible for me to get beyond the first locked door without beeing detected. My Basic Stealth is at ~ 50, but even with an active stealth boy ist doesn't change a bit.

As soon as i pass the first turret (both robobrains with their back to me) i am getting the message that i have been detected and need to restart. After trying for 1,5 hours i searched some youtube video walkthroughs - all they did is just walk pass the turret with both robobrains pointing away from then and they were done ... am i doing anything wrong before ? Do I need to have all other Quests in Old MT finished before doing this ???

At some point i have even been detected when standing in front of the Computer that starts the quest ???
FYI - i have the Willow Mod active ... but even if i park willow and J.T. outside of the building i am having the same problem so i'm assuming they don't really interfer for that part.

thans for any hints in advance

This may be a really dumb question, but - you do sneak, don't you?

Yes and it shows [hidden] up to the point when i enter the room in front of the first turret, where it changes to [detected] :/

Soooo here's how I did it now : i tried the test one time - got detected and than killed all the robobrains and turrets on the way to the office. When I restarted the test they were gone and i could retrieve the documents - not really 'stealthy' but it worked

edit:
ah well ... but now I have the same problem with the last step of this quest - somehow the robobrains got an 360° view :/ i get instantly detected even when behind their back

Is it the robobrains that are detecting you or something else? On subsequent run-throughs there are

You know you can destroy the turrets before you start the trials, right?

The turrets, even if powered off oddly, will detect you.

Its odd but happens.

I destroyed all robobrains and turrets on the first run and even hacked all laser beams. After that i retried trial one - everthing fine. Test 2 & 3 were quite easy afterwards as well.
But now in Test 4 the robobrains have respawned - and now i was even getting an [detected] message when still in front of the Computer that starts it !?!?! this should'nt be right ???

Anyhow - if I get past the first door and get into the first corridor with the 2 robobrains patroling, I only need to enter the corridor and am immediatly detected , even with no robobrains in sight ! After another hour of trying it i just finished the Quest per console -.- didn't get the last reward but at least i can finish all the rest now.

thanks for your hints anyway !! But i guess it was just bugged in my game.

You did see the mines in trial 3, right? They detect you from ~10-15 ft away. Even behind walls.

Yes - but then again they will go active when your near them - and as i said i got detected in an instant - somtimes even when just starting the quest in the computer room

Here's an idea. If you can manage to start it undetected, then go back up the stairs instead of ging into the facility. pick the lock to gain access to the viewer's work stations, then just go around till you reach the point where it overlooks the final area, jump down and finish the thing before the nearby mine goes off. Thats how i did it all four times, worked like a charm.
