The quest becomes available after [[Unlikely Valentine]] has been completed. To begin the quest, read the [[Earl Sterling case notes]] which can be found inside the [[Valentine Detective Agency]]. The Sole Survivor should begin the investigation by searching [[Earl Sterling's house]]. There is a Novice level lock on the door which can be picked. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can speak to [[Vadim Bobrov]] at the [[Dugout Inn]] to obtain the key to Earl's house. Speaking to [[Scarlett]] at the Dugout Inn can also provide speech check opportunities and additional information regarding the case. In particular, she will hint that Earl was eager to get aesthetic surgery.
−
The quest starts after [[Unlikely Valentine]] has been finished.
  
  +
−
* Pick the Novice level lock to Earl Sterling's house (subsequently considered trespassing) or head to the Dugout Inn and speak to Vadim Bobrov to obtain the key. (Speak with others in the Dugout, including Vadim's brother Yefim and Scarlett, for additional speech check opportunities.)
  
−
* Next go to Earl Sterling's house look at the sofa and to the left side of the sofa is a [[Surgery receipt]]. If you have Nick Valentine with you, eventually he'll find it and ask you to "take a look over here" when he does.
+
Once inside Earl Sterling's house, search near the sofa. There is a [[surgery receipt]] on the floor to the left of the sofa. If [[Nick Valentine]] is the Sole Survivor's current companion, he will eventually find it and ask the Sole Survivor to "take a look over here" when he does. The surgery receipt is for a facial reconstruction surgery at the [[Mega surgery center]]. Head there to continue the investigation.
  +
−
* Speak to Doctor Sun next to the Mega Surgery Center and pass two charisma checks (one easy and one medium, if having the receipt) or examine the blood stain without speaking to him. Pick the advanced lock into the cellar or pickpocket the key from Doctor Sun.
  
  +
Learn more about what happened to Earl by examining a blood stain near the entrance to the surgery's entrance or by speaking to [[Sun|Doctor Sun]]. The Sole Survivor can ask Doctor Sun about the surgery receipt they found in Earl Sterling's house (easy Charisma check) and about [[Crocker|Doc Crocker]] (medium Charisma check). All clues point to the surgery's cellar which is locked.
−
* After going into the cellar, talk to Doc Crocker. You can either end the conflict by passing one of two charisma check options for to arrest or end peacefully (both will cause Doc Crocker to commit suicide) or kill him.
  
  +
⚫
* Talk to Doctor Sun.
  
  +
To access the cellar, either pick the Advanced lock, pickpocket the key from Doctor Sun or convince him to give you access to the cellar. Doctor Sun can be convinced or threatened (medium Charisma check) or bribed (100 caps) to give the Sole Survivor access.
⚫
* Go back to Valentine Detective Agency and collect the approximately 200 Bottle Cap reward.
  
  +
  +
Upon entering the cellar, the Sole Survivor will come across Doc Crocker berating a corpse on the ground - what remains of Earl Sterling. The Sole Survivor can either attempt a Charisma check to either end the conflict peacefully or attempt to arrest Crocker. Both options, if successful, will lead to Crocker injecting himself with a lethal serum and committing suicide. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can just kill Crocker. After Crocker has died (by whatever method), Doctor Sun will enter the cellar and demand an explanation for what is happening. Speak to him and give him any explanation. He will request the Sole Survivor leave so he can file a security report and "clean up" the mess that has been left behind.

Detailed walkthrough

The quest becomes available after Unlikely Valentine has been completed. To begin the quest, read the Earl Sterling case notes which can be found inside the Valentine Detective Agency. The Sole Survivor should begin the investigation by searching Earl Sterling's house. There is a Novice level lock on the door which can be picked. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can speak to Vadim Bobrov at the Dugout Inn to obtain the key to Earl's house. Speaking to Scarlett at the Dugout Inn can also provide speech check opportunities and additional information regarding the case. In particular, she will hint that Earl was eager to get aesthetic surgery.

Once inside Earl Sterling's house, search near the sofa. There is a surgery receipt on the floor to the left of the sofa. If Nick Valentine is the Sole Survivor's current companion, he will eventually find it and ask the Sole Survivor to "take a look over here" when he does. The surgery receipt is for a facial reconstruction surgery at the Mega surgery center. Head there to continue the investigation.

Learn more about what happened to Earl by examining a blood stain near the entrance to the surgery's entrance or by speaking to Doctor Sun. The Sole Survivor can ask Doctor Sun about the surgery receipt they found in Earl Sterling's house (easy Charisma check) and about Doc Crocker (medium Charisma check). All clues point to the surgery's cellar which is locked.

To access the cellar, either pick the Advanced lock, pickpocket the key from Doctor Sun or convince him to give you access to the cellar. Doctor Sun can be convinced or threatened (medium Charisma check) or bribed (100 caps) to give the Sole Survivor access.

Upon entering the cellar, the Sole Survivor will come across Doc Crocker berating a corpse on the ground - what remains of Earl Sterling. The Sole Survivor can either attempt a Charisma check to either end the conflict peacefully or attempt to arrest Crocker. Both options, if successful, will lead to Crocker injecting himself with a lethal serum and committing suicide. Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can just kill Crocker. After Crocker has died (by whatever method), Doctor Sun will enter the cellar and demand an explanation for what is happening. Speak to him and give him any explanation. He will request the Sole Survivor leave so he can file a security report and "clean up" the mess that has been left behind.

Return to Ellie Perkins at the Valentine Detective Agency to complete the quest and receive the approximately 200 bottlecap reward.
