Well, there are some dang critters in there that need to be killed before anyone will work the mine. If'n you were to buy the deed - and then kill off the critters infesting it - I'd be happy to buy the deed back off you for a nice profit.Mayor Ascorti

Clear Wanamingo Mine is an unmarked quest in Fallout 2.

Quick walkthrough[]

Side Quest: Clear Wanamingo Mine 
Speak with Mayor Ascorti
Pay $1,000 to buy the wanamingo mine. 
Go into the mine and slay all wanamingos
Return to Ascorti. 
Reward: 3,500 XP, $2,500 

Detailed walkthrough[]

While at Redding, Mayor Ascorti may cajole the Chosen One into buying a deed to the great wanamingo mine, billing it as a great investment, $1,000 for the richest mine in the town. One catch: it is infested with the alien-like wanamingos. In order to make any profit from the deed, some eradication is required.

The best access point to the tunnels (albeit the most dangerous) is through the cargo elevator in the ruined wanamingo mine camp. It is advised to bring as much stimpaks, ammunition and guns as possible, as the inhabitants of the mine are tough customers. When using the elevator, the drop-off point is right in the queen's chamber and she is the first hostile on the level. By far the toughest, targeted shots to the eyes and legs should be enough to dispatch her.

Afterwards, it is just a long and arduous trek through dark corridors, shooting wanamingos to death. In order to complete this quest, all wanamingos must be killed (with the only exceptions of their eggs). This includes the ones in tunnels below the mine camp and downtown, so it can take a while. The player character gets 3,500 XP for clearing the mine out and Ascorti offers to buy the deed back for $2,500, a $1,500 profit.

Bugs[]

The quest will become flagged as complete even if there is still one wanamingo remaining (regardless of whether this is the queen or not). This is caused by a discrepancy between the quest counter and the actual number of wanamingos.[verification overdue]
