Black Rock (Nevada)

William will tell you that Jay the fig was passing by.

You can fight Mike at the bar (preferably unarmed, 60% or higher). Afterwards, you can buy a power knuckle duster from him. It's 3500, or 2500 with a trade value of 60. It's expensive, but the next encounter is very far away. If you lose to him, he can increase your unarmed combat skill by 3% ($200). There won't be a second fight in any case. You can buy the knuckle duster in any case. It doesn't matter whether you defeat Mike or lose. However, if you lose, you won't get any experience.

To heal Jasmine, you need to ask Smith, who will tell you about nightshade berries. Once you find the berries (Lovelock - Smith will tell you where to find them, and Rhino grows occasionally), Smith will tell you how to brew "Bloodpipe" for healing. Requires a Doctor/Erudition of 30. You will also receive the "Konoval" poison recipe as a bonus.

To remove collars from slaves, you need a Sabotage skill of 35. A collar (1) is useful for crafting a unique power fist. If you sell all the collars, you can get another one from a slave's corpse or from a sadist's corpse in a random encounter.

To deal with the brahmins, you need to talk to the guy guarding them. With a Speech skill of 25, he'll tell you he's asleep. But you can also find out this from Jasmine. Then you need to examine the fence (you'll find the spot yourself by clicking the mouse). Then examine the brahmin's corpse and ask Justin about the ammo. All that's left is to talk to Bolt and choose your solution.

To find Milo the messenger, you need to go to Gerlach and talk to his wife (if you take Gerlach to the GU, a note from his wife will be left on the desk above the house with the gecko hunter). Then return to the undertaker in BR and convince him to tell you everything. You'll need either bad karma, 45 Speech, 8 Strength, or reputation with the settlement (the quests for rescuing slaves and finding the brahmin are sufficient). Then, talk to Eugene (requires 25 Speech) before turning in the quest. If you pick up the radio and use it afterward, you'll get another quest (where you can find some free nightshade), which you can use to request an energy pistol from William (which you can upgrade with a villager or yourself at the workbench (energy weapons 50)).

The quest will be given after finding Milo—you need to activate the radio and follow the signal. Raiders will be waiting for you at the cave entrance, and caravanners will be inside. You can kill the caravanners or lure them to the raiders. Alternatively, kill the raiders, and the caravanners will appear in the BR (every 10th) and sell various small items. You can also lead the caravanners around the area – the console will display a message saying "A fresh wind is blowing here." You need to stand close to the wall and proceed further – a back exit will open. You can also poison the raiders – click on the fire, and then it's easy (either a farrier's poison or three scorpion tails). After poisoning, you'll need to sleep in the cave.

After the treatment, Jasmine will ask you to find her a boyfriend. The quest is easily completed with the Gravedigger skill (the shovel is on the shelf near the undertaker), but a little more difficult with conversation skills. Using conversation skills can earn you a little experience.
