Killing the Master 7 minutes after leaving Vault 13 

Ghhh!

UGH. LEE!

"You saved us from something called super mutants, and that's great. But now if you could make your way to vault 15 for a water chip that would be great."

"Mission Failed Successfully"

The overseer: thank you for saving us now fuck off The vault dweller: uh (have fun dying of thirst dumbass)

And there was much rejoicing

No water, only blood!

This is the only canon explanation for how the Master somehow did not find Vaults 33 and 32 despite them being IN the Boneyard and clearly visible above ground without any cover whatsoever. As soon as he started vault hunting a stupid Vault 13 dweller telepathically hunted him down and blew him up in 7 minutes.

@@absolutezerochill2700 thats stupid, you're stupid

Where did he get the robe tho? Did I miss it?

He may be psychic, but he's not smart... "I CAN SEE THE FUTUUUUUURE!!!"

And how little fun.

@@Avantgardist Somehow, the only fun I remember having was a Mad Max experience with the Kahns and eventually realizing that you can select burst on a 10mm SMG for the rest of the game.

It’s easy when you know where to find a good stash 😅

@@Avantgardist *much fun

If you hadn't played the game before it is super unlikely that you stumble upon this.

“I’m a speedrunner, and I’m a speedrunner”

Reminds of Two Worlds, where the main villain is a short run from your starting location. If you run over to them and aggro them, you can get them to follow you to the town and attack you, and the villagers will be able to kill him (because you're too weak, and they aren't). And then, game is done.

Breaking bad

@@seekerhunts God, that series was a shit show. The peak of mid-2000s drek. Fun in a kind of stupid way, though. Thanks for reminding me of it.

@@seekerhunts Yeah, his fireball has splash damage; standing next to a villager NPC turns townspeople hostile towards him, and his death triggers the ending. I believe it only works on earlier patches though.

If you think about it, you never saved the dwellers so if you come back empty handed no one has any reason to leave the vault with you

“I did it, I killed the master!” “The what? What does that have to do with saving us from running out of water?”

@@josephwhittaker2065 this made me smile.

Try doing that blind.

@@Idazmi7 yeah never would happen

It’s an animal thing

Ironic when you consider what the Master’s all about

Yeah but he has to leave :(

The game did not end though. The Master is considered the final boss, but it might not end there. You have to at least both kill the Master and destroy Mariposa base. It doesn’t matter which order you do them but you have to do both. Maybe the water chip too. Don’t know what happens if you do both before getting it.

Let's not forget that Interplay also published Fallout:Tactics and Fallout:BoS (Big Ol Shit) Fallout 2's writing is at times insanely crass and unfitting for a narrative that wants to be taken seriously. Fallout NV is probably the closest to a perfect RPG. You can do the same thing essentially "Kill House" by just going left at Goodsprings and hauling ass to Freeside. Interplay and Black Isle were simply not the people to keep this franchise alive. But to call Fallout 3, 4 and 76 RPGs is almost sad. They're simulations, 1,2,NV are narratives and yet to say a 1990s Interplay made THE all timer in terms of post apocalyptic role playing fills me with a dread that reminds me most games today are literally just wasting my time and money. Fallout 1s no spectacle, but anyone who says "Moby Dick is bad because it's old" hasn't played Fallout 1, and probably never will.

Tbf the Chosen One would say that to the remnants of the master’s army, knowing full well that their grandparent wiped them out years ago.

I'll have to check it our myself

Theres unique dialogue with set in necropolis where you can tell him you whacked the master

True

So funny and original.

@@doomslayer8025 Still funnier and more original than anything Bethesda has churned out by themselves in the last 15 years or so.

This isnt... a Bethesda made game...

Actually, this was super easy, it didn't take much luck or skill at all since everything you need to completely cheese the master is right there in the cathedral. I'm thinking of doing something more challenging, maybe trying to kill the master and then blow up the vats and finish the game in under 10 minutes or something, I guess you could call it a speedrun of sorts. Also I could try making the worst build possible to do a run like this instead of min-maxing. The ultimate challenge though is to finish the game and kill the bosses using only a BB gun, it does so little damage that the only thing that makes it viable to use is the instant death chance from better criticals, and that won't work on the master. Only about 5 points of damage get through on the highest critical roll, so I will literally need to shoot the master over 100 times in the eyes to kill him with perfect luck, it's probably not worth it, and using the LE BB gun is kinda cheating. I could also try an unarmed build with bare fists only, that would actually be more effective than using a BB gun.

@@TactaGhoul yoooooo the worst build one and the unarmed one sound like smth i'd binge watch honestly! also i propose beating the Master unarmed (probably impossible? no idea). can't wait to see what ya do next!!!

This should be called the Master% run

There's a theory the master isn't totally gone. His consciousness was trapped in a vault tek computer so it's totally possible he exists on the vault tec network. In the show power is restored to the West so I wonder, is the master REALLY gone for good?

@@TheVoltDenatsu well in most of the interactions with him (i.e. not a 1 INT character) you can point out how dumb his plan is and he's kind of like "damn u rite" so even if he does still exist he's probably not up to much anymore

You hit the nail on the head. I kind of feel sorry for all speed runners.

Same that's where I'm stuck at the mutant door. Unless it's god tier rng Also his stats are oddly different even with the same build I attempted. His skills are all 10 percent lower at start so idk if he's on an earlier build

@@Mibit911Nope, it’s the Skilled trait.

@heswallowedburningcoals19 Yes I took the skilled trait and my stats were st 60 percent and his were at 50. The answer is that I play on normal difficulty. On hard difficulty the minus all skills by 10 percent, and on easy they plus all skills by 10. So I play on normal which is why I got 60 percent and he starts on hard so that's why he got 50 percent

@@Mibit911 If it helps, he lowered the difficulty to Easy halfway through. Haven't played the game, tho, so not sure if that answers the question

@destinyhntr heblowered the difficulty for theblockpicking areas which is necessary to be able to pass the skill checks.

That setting was only used to allow lockpicking at level 1. From the wiki: "Lower difficulty increases the amount of skill points to the player's Barter, Doctor, First Aid, Gambling, Lockpick, Repair, Science, Sneak, Speech, Steal, Traps and Outdoorsman skills, while higher difficulty decreases it." The fight itself wouldn't be affected even if he hadn't changed it back. I personally don't mind, the title's valid as far as I'm concerned.

@@luizhenriquebraunermoraes3175nah bro cheated 💯

@@luizhenriquebraunermoraes3175 This does not change the fact that the addition of a difficulty level is futile.

Gatling Laser's burst fire deals 20 - 40 base damage per bullet. Multiply that by 10 (burst fires 10 shots per action), factor the Master's resistances on each shot and done!

Nuh uh I switched back to hard later on! (whispers into earpiece) oy vey, they know, shut it down!

@@TactaGhoul Still, this affects the time required to successfully pick locks. So in essence, you cheated. No sugarcoating it.

press the 0 key, it cancels dialogue. I think the newer steam patch, sfall or fixt or whatever it is may disable that mechanic so in that case you would use mentats to boost intelligence

@@TactaGhoul I have the normal gog version and 0 worked! That's a crazy bug I'm glad they fixed it for fallout 2

@TactaGhoul it's also wierd I did my setup the exact same way as yours And my tagged skills ended up atn60 percent starting not 50.

@@Mibit911 It's due to having the difficulty lower, easy raises all non-combat skills by 10% and hard lowers them by 10%

@TactaGhoul ahh ok. I always play on normal so that probably why. You start on hard

Yes if yoy manage to take an elevator on the opposite side of where he is at at the third level you can reach the fourth level which contains a Muclear bomb guarded by 2 super mutants

At the very least, you still have to destroy Mariposa military base either way. Don't know what happens if you do both that and kill the Master before finding the chip.
