The Ridiculously Hidden Quests Of Fallout: New Vegas 

As this video goes live, I'll be going on holiday for roughly a week. You have 24 hours to send in your comments for me to like and heart and whatever before I ignore all of you. So Goodluck Also twitter - @its_jabo

I'm now realizing I've never been back to Primm's casino once I finish the quest, so I've never, in hundreds of hours known that it's an actual usable casino

The first time I did the Body Recovery Quest, I carried his body all the way back to Camp McCarran 💀

The invisible bramin killer.. i thought it was pretty well known all the residents talk about it

Fun fact, the dialogue when returning private Morales is actually different depending on how low your health is. If it's low you get what was said in the video (you need to get to a medic) but if you're at full health, they say "I don't believe it. Who the hell are you, man? How did you just walk right up and pull him out of there?"

The most rare quest is the one where you rescue an NCR soldier from a cave filled with lakelurck kings.

You can Save the survivors in Vault 34. To have this occur, do the NCR Vault 34 questline as normal up to the reactor. Instead, choose to save the survivors. Exit the vault and wait 3-5 days in game. Go to Aerotech office park. The vault 34 survivors will be in one of the buildings.

HOW DARE YOU JABO. no-bark noonan is a silver fox, and is the most handsomest novac resident.

Melody has a similar teddy bear quest inside The Fort. To me, one of the most obscure missions that’s actually marked is the one where you rescue those NCR soldiers trapped in the mine, or the Camp Guardian NCR soldier trapped with the lakelurks.

frustrating thing about getting better food for McCarran is 9/10 times the food additive portion always bugs out and you can never finish it

The generator in sloan is actually a cut asset from fallout 3, cool that they reused it for that quest.

The teddy bear quest in the boomers camp is actually the more common child/teddy bear quest. The more rare one is returning sergeant teddy to melody at the fort. Not only is it in the fort, which in most playthroughs wont exactly be friendly towards you, but also she has a tendency to glitch out of bounds, right behind the loading zone to the inner camps. So not only is it in an area you likely wont be looking for side quests, but she also glitches out of reach in the majority of cases. Any sort of combat makes her flee out of bounds, since she clips through the loading zone never to return. That means if the legion is hostile, quest is unreachable. Decided to fight the slaves for fame? Quest unreachable. Oh, and one of the options in actually retrieving the teddy bear is itself a fight with dogs, so by the time you have the bear, guess what, unreachable.

I’m honestly surprised you put The Screams of Brahmin on here - it’s probably the only unmarked quest that the player gets specifically told about in interactions with named characters. You’re led to it during the main game. I’d be surprised if many people didn’t find it on their first playthrough.

You don't even have to wait for that Nightkin to appear - he spawns immediately once you take that quest, allowing you to go and kill him right away, including through a well-placed sneak attack, as he won't be hostile.

5:46 The trooper's dialogue changes depending on how much damage you took while recovering the body. That's the line he uses for when the player took a significant amount of damage.

Trying to remember some, in Primm you can talk to the robot and recover Vance's SMG, in the Legion camp there's also a kid that asks you to find their teddy bear and, this one might even be a marked quest, but i only recently stumbled upon it, in the Khans camp you can talk to some dude and he asks you to see if he can join the Followers instead.

my favorite hidden quest is definitely the one where you have to make the emerges by supplies from Nick and Ralph's again. it's very buggy. but once you complete it you get the greatest reward in any fallout game your pip boy turns into the pimp boy 3 billion it's got gold it's got diamonds on it it's the coolest thing in any game ever

I have over 2000 hours in this game across 360 and pc and I have also never heard of Dr Kemp

Surprisingly knew all of these in advance. Still glad to have some more people know about these niche unmarked quests.

"Crazy with low prices on wind brahmin!" cracks me up every time. BTW, dump all but one cap in a container.

Enjoy your holiday Jabo! Great video as always.

83 unmarked quests wow, i had no idea it was that many. NV is really special with the detail they put into the game

I was kinda expecting "Don't make a beggar out of me", as you generally have no reason to look for Melissa (Oh my papa can be dealt with without ever meeting her) and definitely wouldn't expect to find humans this close to a pack of deathclaws

I can’t believe I never found the wind-brahmin encounter, I’ve been to brooks ranch over a hundred times in the last 12 years to go get the alien blaster but I’ve never ran into the goofy nightkin. The screams of brahmin is a classic quest for me though, I discovered that one in my first playthrough and now it’s just routine for me to do it every playthrough the moment I enter Novac just to be a nice lady.

I had no idea the novac quest was an unmarked quest. I found it on my first playthrough because you get lead to it pretty reliably unlike some others. Interesting to see others experience.

Kind of surprised Dealing with Contreras isn't on here, but then again it might be well known. I had just heard about it and completed it yesterday and was having a great time. It really felt fleshed out like a marked quest yet all you had to go off of was notes Contreras gives you. Felt like some cool espionage behind NCR territory

The Camp McCarran quest I have to say is the most unique quest in all of fallout due to its unique requirement of completion where you have to use the grab function to carry the body, grab function, a function that is so so situation with a few specific niches. Actually the dead money expansion has a similar requirement where you need to drag a body to a certain area.

my fave interaction in New Vegas is Chief Hanlin's story....just listen and earn easy XP and it's a great story, well the ranger one and the previous legate story are both great stuff and having Kris Kristofferson as the VO is the icing on the cake, great actor....awesome voice

There is actually a THIRD unmarked quest located in the Boomer's schoolhouse, in which the player can offer the Boomer Teacher advice on how to improve her curriculum. Unfortunately, there is very little information about this quest online, and I haven't had any luck getting it to trigger.

I love Screams of Brahmin I’ve done that quest literally every playthrough, I also love the missing laser pistol quest in the BoS bunker

Prim slim is the best sheriff 👌

I heard rumors that tumbleweeds are the reason the game functions , if you remove the tumbleweeds , your game will break oh and i think you miss "Dealing with the Contreras" quest in Camp Mccarran , the prolly the only quest with a level requirement to activate and the deepest back door in the airport

Tracking down Vance's gun is a more rare quest, especially since people forget about it by the time they reach the area where it can be found.

I remember Discovering the "Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup" Quest on one of my later playthroughs. I was so excited to find that quest when I thought I knew the game so well. There was a lot that I had to do to complete it and I was so disappointed by the reward. A rare underwhelming moment from and otherwise fantastic game!

My very first interaction with Nightkin was by that unmarked quest. Imagine how shocked I was. What a way to set up a new type of enemy.

Hey btw that nightkin you kill in novac actually comes back to life I moved him to be within novac for fun he is not hostile but just stands there and he will have his gear on again

There is another unmarked quest that I recently came across. It's called "Dealing with Contreras" it's quite well hidden at the very end of the Camp McCarren building. It's basically a quest where you run errands for him and in the end get access to his secret stash. This quest has multiple endings with him, someone in Westside or Lt. Boyd. The wiki says that the quest is initiated by the player talking to Boyd or going to Contreras terminal, but you can go to Contreras, pass a speech check that makes you tell him that he has a secret stash for people he can trust and likes. The way to getting the Westside ending is rather abnoxious because you must have 7 perception as well as intelligence to pass a speech check, and the Lt. Boyd ending was never an option for me because I couldn't talk to her about Contreras and what he's doing. At the end of the quest you get a rifle that's pretty good and access to Contreras secret stash. When you sell him items, he will wear whatever is the highest DT clothing and drop all items you sold him if you kill him.

I'm so happy I managed to get most of these Quests in my first playthrough. I really tested this game with the respect it deserved and I'm so glad it treated me well in return.

I'm oddly proud of having already known all of these quests.

One detail I love about the body recovery quest is the dialogue changes based on health. The one shown is if you take a decent amount of damage in the process. Taking little to no damage the guards will talk about how they think you’d be willing to walk him all the way to California if someone asked you to.

I love the "Live" bit in Aerotech... it makes it look even more like a setup to just kill the guy, as Captain Parker can't help but stare into the camera as he says his lines. But had to get it on film so he could insist he totally didn't plan to just execute the guy off the bat.

Funfact: the body recovery quest has alternate dialog if you complete it _WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE._ This doesn't mean talk to the soldier with 100% HP, it means take no damage. A bit irritating to pull off because the fiend's aggro range means they'll occasionally snipe at you in addition to the mines and traps around the area. I forget the excact dialog, but he refers to you as "Some kind of hero"

I can't believe i actually completed all these hidden quests. I think i may have explored more of new vegas than i realized

The first time I did the mini - quest at aerotech dealing with Keith, after Captain Parker shot Keith he laid down on a mattress, rolled over on his side and started sucking his thumb. I attempted to speak to him and he told me he needed space and to leave him alone or something like that. Needless to say I was rofl when this happened. I have not been able to get this action to repeat again and I have no idea why it happened. Anyone else ever experience this??

Loved this video, one of my favorite unmarked quests is Barton the Fink. Just because it plays on the stereotypical "Help me, player character!" and also because Barton is kind of stupid

The Screams of Brahmin is a great way to pick up a minigun early game. Whether you sell it or use it, it's a great pick up early. Especially if you use some easily made Repair Kits to fix it up.

There is a lot of fun new information to be had in this video. Another reason to revisit Fallout Nev Vegas 🤠

My personal list: "Help for Halford" Camp Guardian is so out of the way of everything else. Only true explorers would naturally come across it. "Don't Make a Beggar of Me" Never would've expected to find (alive) people in the quarry. "Wind Brahmin Wrangler" Already mentioned in video. "Bye Bye Love" First, the trigger hidden behind either a high skill check or finding someone tucked away deep in the vault where you normally wouldn't go. Second, and more importantly, there's a limited window when it can be done (Needs to be done before "How Little We Know").

literally any of the sewer quests, feel like most people miss that you can go in them at all, which is honestly fair

Maize is actually the best food in hardcore, since after u get the perk that basically doubles every food/drink which you get water from, and it will double the food and water, basically it will give 60 food and 30 water, making it the best thing for hardcore players.

I've been playing New Vegas since its release, today I learned about the generator in Sloan, the tumbleweed Nightkin, Dr. Kemp's location, and Mr. Cuddles at the AFB! Fantastic work. Discussing the content as it should be. Got tired of other videos where it is screaming and wailing and flailing arms around to "entertain". A true professional approach. Keep it up!

I’m surprised I knew about all of these lol the Novac one, body retrieval, the primm deserters, and one not in this one but dealing with Contreras I discovered by accident on my first play through it’s why I love This Machine so much as it tends to be my work horse rifle in every play through even in a Legion play through

Great video as always. Can't wait for your streams this weekend!

In the body retrieval quest the dialog from the soldier changes depending on how well you do. For example if you take minimal damage they will treat you like some badass. Always blows my mind just how much possibility they shoved into this game that most won't ever get to see.

The most rare one i’ve found: when walking past the Powder Gangers base towards Primm and hugging the western mountain range, you can find a camper who says his girlfriends getting attacked by geckos on the ridge above him. If you go up there and shoot all the geckos, he runs up and tells you that he tricked you so he could get to a stash of loot nearby and try’s to kill you. I think it’s only in Wild Wasteland since the theme plays and you get the goofy thing in the corner of your screen.

For the one in Novac with the invisible night king you literally just have to walk in the farmers house and speak to him and then go back outside and straight to the rock. It doesn’t need to be night or anything. He’s just standing there invisible and you can shoot him and get the gun.

I like the intro to the video reminds of me Guru larry missing the "Hello you"

I have to say that your use of background music in this video is phenomenal! It's so easy to just throw on the Fallout soundtrack in the back like most people do, but I think the extra effort here made the video feel more refreshing and engaging!

This video is the perfect example that even a "ridiculously" hidden quest has more depth and better attention to detail than any of the Bethesda Fallouts.

For the body recovery quest, you actually get different dialogue depending on how injured your are when you talk to the NCR trooper.

my favorite was the Sergeant Contreras missions where you sold weapons and drugs behind the NCR's back, like the Great Khan Drug Mule missions , just felt cool to do shady/mysterious work with a Shady Arm's dealer.

Appreciate this video not being just another top ten list. Good video and the effort is much appreciated. 👍

dude your editing is getting so good amazing work man

Depending on your health loss, the NCR soldiers will have different quotes. If you take no damage when recovering Esteban's body, they'll say something different

an unmarked quest i found around my first time playing was in the brotherhood of steel bunker where you must find a laser pistol for the quartermaster in the scorpion gulch that some of the initiates left when they were sneaking out to be shoot stuff, an easy quest that you get a tribeam laser rifle as well as brotherhood fame, though i think you have to follow the plot right to find the pistol i dont think you can talk about the gun and then go find it

This is way better looking than it needed to be. Above and beyond! Definitely subbing keep up the good work!

The Food Processor quest is worth it if you're playing Old World Blues. You can break down the Maize to create other food reagents.

Bringing back the rangers body is probably my favorite quest in the fallout series. It just genuinely felt good.

I have over 300 hours and I have never talked or seen Dr.Kemp

I love how this video came out 6 months ago, and vegas is a decade old. This game is timeless, and I appreciate that you take the time to still love it like I do.

In case of Ranger Morales, I think there are even two or three answers! One normal one, one where they basically call you a beast if you hardly took any damage, and the one you showed! I really love the attention to detail for that quest, especially since I adore doing it.

I knew about the Primm mercs, not the functioning casino though.

There's some unique dialogue if you recover the NCR rangers body and take very little damage as well as if you take a lot of damage

I think I Love Bananas is an overlooked quest from Vault 3. A lot of first-time players may not know about the companion quests, namely Boone's, Raul's, and Arcade's because of the cryptic triggers.

This channel has seen extreme evolutions in editing quality video after video! Great work Jabo/editor?

I've played new Vegas way too much, I knew all of these holy shit Thats not healthy Great video!

Bruh the way Keith flew when he was shot

Can't believe I haven't seen this video previously. Keep up the great streams and content, Jabo.

i didn't know many of these hidden quests, let alone that there were 83 unmarked quests in New Vegas! The one where you have to grab the dead guy's corpse surprised me! I've never done that quest, and I've beaten this game at least 4 times. Awesome content!

Absolutely love New Vegas

Holy shit I'm a loser I knew everything in this video other than giving chems to kids. That's funny as hell

Man, I remember your first video I ever watched was an Overwatch tips video back in... 2016? 2017? Sometime around there. Crazy how much the channel has changed since then. Love this channel man, keep it up.

You missed the unmarked quest where you take down the Legion, NCR, and House, and returning Snuffles to their rightful place as the ruler of the Mojave

I have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this game and never even completed half of these quests this is so eye opening wow thank you brother

Funnily enough, I actually knew about all of these unmarked quests on my very first playthrough. I accidentally stumbled across some of them.

Currently playing through New Vegas again and recently completed the Captain Parker/Keith unmarked quest. Whenever I talked to Captain Parker when he was standing over Keith's body, he'd fire rounds into his corpse when I closed the dialogue.

It's kinda funny: I didn't know about most of these, but the one you say you just recently learned about was one I found on my first play through. Fun video buddy.

12:35 excuse me?? Nobark is a sexual icon!

Playing this game like most of us for years, but honestly I didn't knew about 30-40% about the quests you mentioned. Thank you for bringing more depth to NV, I absolutely pumped for a new run!

proof new vegas is so dynamic for everyone is the nightkin in novak was one of the first things i did during my first play through and he didn’t even know about it for years

Claws Mended is actually a perfect example of an unmarked quest that feels natural. The game expects you to interact with things, so seeing a non-hostile molerat entices curiosity. And after working on Snuffles, it would be only natural to ask someone about the molerat, seeing the "i fixed up Snuffle's leg" dialog option flows smoothly.

Ah so that's why it took a while for the casino in Primm to start up. Apparently they felt I'd take 3 in game days to move body's lol

Your videos are amazing. Thanks for the work.

Thank you so much for still playing these games, Im just now finishing the game and love your content

I like how no bark just casually stops and looks at the window like thats normal

I'm actually pretty proud. I found all of these on like my 3rd playthrough without youtubing but just throughly exploring and talking to everyone, this game and fallout 3 are still my favorite games of all time, it's October 2022 and I'm still playing these games over other games I have

I had absolutely no idea Primm's casino became... an actual casino and I have 900+ hours into NV lol

i put hundreds of hours into FNV as a kid and had no idea these events were in the game. It's impressive how much is in this game considering the short development window they had.

I didn't know about some of these, thanks!

It was probably my 10th playthrough before I discovered Sloan. Also interesting enough, I somehow managed to wander north assbackwards to New Vegas avoiding the murderbugs and murderlizards by accident on my first playthrough. Imagine my surprise on my second playthrough.
