Hi everyone I got a question. I just got done disarming the bomb on the monorail at McCarran base and was told to report back to Hsu. When I got there the dialog was not an option for me to finish the mission. Am I doing something wrong or is my game glitching on me. Thanks for the advise.

I'm having the same exact problem. Before this patch, based on this quest path, the monorail would always blow up. Now you can disarm it, but can't talk to Hsu.

This quest has been buggy from the start, and it looks destined to stay that way. Look up the quest in the wiki for a path that should guarantee it to work.

not quite sure, but did you talk to hsu AFTER you disarmed the bomb? or else the monorails doomed.

secondly, this belongs in the cheats, hints, and spoilers section.

i havent done this mission since the patch (not on purpose, havent gotten around to it yet), but you could always check the vault wiki

+1 this is exactly what is happening.




Sorry, wasn't sure what section to put it in.

But yes he told me to disarm the bomb I went and did that and went back to him and now the dialog option isn't there to finish the quest.

I will go check the wiki but I tried it with the patch and then went and deleated the patch and it is still happening. I need to make this happen so I can finish other missions.

* Travel to Camp McCarran and speak to James Hsu or complete The Finger of Suspicion.
* Speak to Captain Curtis and then to Carrie Boyd. IMPORTANT: Do not inform Curtis about that lead if you want to save the monorail!
* Once you've got adequate information, head to the entrance of the control tower.
* Between midnight and 1:40 a.m., the spy will wander over calmly (armed with a 9mm pistol).
* If you're asked about what are you doing outside so late at night Do not say you're investigating the tower.
* Remove the disarming codes from the spy.
* Do not head to James Hsu and report the incident to him as this will cause the bomb to detonate upon leaving the terminal building either via entering the monorail station or leaving for the airfield.
* Head upstairs, directly over Hsu's room, and run for the monorail.
* Defuse the bomb (in a vent inside the tram).
* Now report to Hsu. (from wiki)

you were to disarm the bomb and then report. it makes sense because of the time involved in reporting the bomb would cause it to go off.

Thanks guys I figured it out.

You MUST listen to the conversation at the bottom of the stairs and then when it says to go disarm the bomb go do it. When you are done report back to Hsu.
