Bug[]
I had to switch to a weapon upon exiting the Yao Guai cave, having placed the charges. I decided to save beforehand and I could pull the trigger, after switching to a weapon and back, and it did collapse the cave and finish the quest. However, when I left the cave and killed the quest marked Yao Guai, completing the quest, the detonator no longer did anything when it was triggered. user:serose802:57, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Not a bug. The quest is just set up so you can complete it one way or the other. You blow up the cave or you kill all the Yao Guai. Quest completion through the second option renders the explosives useless because they're no longer needed.--Darth Oblivion 19:26, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
- I've scoured the area near the entrance repeatedly and minutely looking to place my last explosive charge; but the point won't show up. I've tried saving, exiting, and reloading several times. No good. Is this a glitch in my gam?. I haven't killed all the Yao Guai outside the cave either to complete the quest that way.--Stevious56 (talk) 04:39, March 20, 2013 (UTC)
- I had a difficult time with placing the explosive "near" the entrance too. Turns out, there is a watery tunnel below the entrance that runs under it and that was where the explosive had to be placed. They overlap on the map, so it appeared that it was supposed to be placed right inside the entrance. Further exploration revealed the spot for me. The locations were actually quite easy to see. They were blueish instead of blending in with the cave floor. I use the Mission Mohave patch, so not sure if that may have changed anything or not. --Ign0tus (talk) 04:07, March 6, 2015 (UTC)
Mining Explosives ARE Items[]
It says on the page that Mining Explosives are not items in your inventory, that they look like lunchboxes throughout the cave that you have to enable. This is NOT the case. Mining Explosives ARE items, in your inventory. They are just quest items. So they have -- weight, -- value, and don't show up in container or vendor screens. They DO show up when you just open your PipBoy and go to Miscellaneous Items. The 'lunchbox' looking things on the cave floor are markers. They are not physical. They are semi-transparent images of what you will place, similar to the markers that appear below the bomber where you will place the ballasts in "Volare!" Should probably mention that this wiki already has a page for the quest item "Mining Explosive," so someone already knew they were real items. Please change this. Thanks.
