) and found a yellow keycard on the body of an Enclave Soldier - Is this of any use Yes, you can get down with the elevator, but just not immediatly. To open the elevator you need to repair the powergenerator (which you have already done) and have Electronic Lockpick. I'm not sure if the basic EL is enough or should it be Mark II, but when you get one, you can try.kaos1979 wrote:Hi y'all
Does anyone know if it's possible to access the elevator in Toxic Cave (where you rescue Smiley The Trapper)? I've repaired the generator, but can't open the elevator door (or use the computer next to the generator)
Hmmm... the only places I can think of are Navarro, The Oil Rig, or The Gecko (those are cities, BTWAlso... In Klamath, where the Vertibird has crached - I've beaten the Robot (Thanx Sulik
). But it's possible that it doesn't do anything, just one of those random junk... 
)Once you return here with a beefed-up Repair skill (or Vic), you'll be able to fix the generator (50-60% is recommended, a Tool won't provide any bonus). Next you'll have to use an Electronic Lockpick on the elevator door, or it won't open. Go down, kill the rocketbot, then loot, loot and loot to your heart's content: good ammo, a Bozar and a Combat Armor Mark II among other things. (Though the first time I got down here, I was disappointed the place was so small. I'd expected a full-blown base.)
[INDENT]This is the only time in the game you need any kind of lockpick item (unless your Lockpick skills are horrendously bad).[/INDENT]
[INDENT]In the unpatched version there was significantly less stuff down here: no Combat Armor Mark II, no Bozar, no Plasma Pistol, less ammo. Also you couldn't use the Electronic Lockpick MKII to open the elevator.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]You'll want to kill the robot before it can take too many shots at you, which is where this little trick comes in handy. If you press and hold the A key as the game is loading a new area (such as when you get a random encounter on the world map), you'll enter combat mode and get the first turn before any monsters can react. Kind of a half-cheat which takes advantage of the game engine. Another time you may want to use this is in dialogues where you say things like "Eat grapeshot and die, scumbag". The other party always gets to initiate combat - that is, unless you hold the A key as you leave dialogue. In this particular case you can also use the trick to run past the robot before it can react; if you get to the doorway you'll be safe, even if there are NPCs in the robot's line of sight.[/INDENT]
