One is north-east of the NCRCF facility, another is in the hills east if Nipton, near the train-tracks following during the New Vegas Medical Clinic Run, while the third can be found north-east of Novac, overlooking the unfolding conflict between the NCR and the Legion around Camp Forlorn Hope and Nelson.

Head to the surface to find the three Knights. It’s up to you to rendezvous with them and recover their intel by giving them the pass-phrase “Are the Bears Still Hunting?” Obviously the Brotherhood is still worried about the NCR after their disastrous encounter at HELIOS One. Talk to Elder McNamara, who will give you your next task three Knights were sent out on recon missions, and have been isolated on the surface for a while. To join the Brotherhood you’ll have to perform a heroic feat kill the Van Graffs (right). Once you’ve killed them return to Hardin for your reward (or if you killed them earlier, just talk to Hardin again), which includes T-45d Power Armor and the training to wear it.Ĭonfirm that McNamara broke the Chain-that-Binds to make Hardin the new Elder (left). This effectively splits the opposition in two, allowing you to heal before you deal with the stragglers inside, which should include Gloria, Jean-Baptiste and another thug or two. If you do this, it should guarantee the Van Graffs inside hear, and several more thugs will come out, where they can be easily picked off. Try to hit him in a non-lethal spot first, make sure he fires back, then kill him. If you’re killing them now, shoot Simon (the door guard) without hiding. Since they turn hostile after you turn in the evidence, you really can’t go about your business on Freeside if they’re still alive, and the only alternative to killing them is to turn in the evidence.


Alternatively, if you sided with Cass, there’s a good chance they’ll already be dead.

If you sided with them earlier… well, you’ll need to choose which is more important to you, their services as merchants, or continuing with the Brotherhood storyline. What is this deed? Nothing less than exterminating the Van Graffs, who barter the pre-war weaponry the Brotherhood covets so much. Talk to Hardin again when he’s in his swanky new Elder robes and ask to join the Brotherhood of Steel, and wonder of wonders, he agrees… provided you complete a heroic deed to prove your worth to the Brotherhood. Report back to Elder McNamara after finding the missing Brotherhood patrols (left) then gather intel from his scouts out in the Mojave (right).
