Thank god you're here! Some crazy guy has Sinthia held hostage. He's threatening to kill her! You've got to help.Marcelles

Rescue Sinthia is a side quest in Fallout.

Quick walkthrough[]

If the Vault Dweller spends a night in the Crash House, a hotel in Junktown, they will wake up to find Sinthia, a prostitute, held hostage by a crazed raider in the room adjacent to theirs. Marcelles will beg the Vault Dweller to defuse the situation.

Detailed walkthrough[]

There are three ways to solve this quest:

Peaceful solution[]

As soon as the Vault Dweller is detected by the raider, he will begin dialogue. When talking with the raider, they must assure him that no one is going to hurt him in order to have him believe that they are a friend and not an enemy. If the Vault Dweller's Speech skill is high enough, they can convince the raider to leave without a fight. If the check fails, they may need to pay either 100 or 200 caps, depending on what dialogue options are chosen. If this option is chosen, Sinthia offers the dweller a one-time trial of her services for free as a reward.

Violent method[]

If the Vault Dweller fails a Speech check, refuses to pay caps to the raider, or simply decides to attack the raider, the raider will engage in combat with them. Upon killing the raider, the Vault Dweller will receive 400 XP (as opposed to 1000 XP for talking the raider out of killing Sinthia) and Marcelles' thanks. However, Sinthia will be enraged, saying that "you really don't care for human life" and refuse to speak with the Vault Dweller. Though this carries the very likely outcome of the raider executing Sinthia before she can be saved.

Sneaky way[]

The Vault Dweller should talk to the raider in a peaceful manner. When the raider says he needs to think about it, the Vault Dweller should begin sneaking. If the Vault Dweller's Sneak is high enough, both the Vault Dweller and Sinthia will be able to sneak behind the raider without him reacting. Shooting him will knock him unconscious. At first, Sinthia will think the raider is dead, but the game confirms he is not.

Rewards[]

Notes[]

  • The player character must enter the room in the southeast corner, as entering a different room and using the Pip-Boy to rest until the morning will not trigger this quest.
  • Sinthia will not sell her services to the Vault Dweller if the raider is killed. If a companion happens to kill him, the Vault Dweller will still be able to do "business" with her.
  • If the Vault Dweller does not save her, Sinthia suffers a gruesome death, causing resentment among the rest of the girls.
  • If the Vault Dweller does save her, her "services" will be available (at a rate of 40 caps for 10 minutes).
  • If one has saved their game after starting the encounter/dialogue with the raider, reloading the game will always end up with the raider calling the Dweller a "liar and a cheat," and results in the encounter being reset. Saving before spending the night at the hotel will allow access to the full peaceful dialogue options without being accused of cheating and having the raider turn hostile.
