“ Knew you'd survive... but no need to go any farther. You've brought me what I need - that machine with you, sealed in the Hopeville silo. ” — Ulysses The Tunnelers is a side quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road
Quick walkthrough Detailed walkthrough The quest begins when you enter the cave. During your journey, you will encounter many tunnelers and the tunneler queen . The quest ends when you've exited the Boxwood Hotel roof .
Beware that when you approach the end of the cave you will see an archway. When you pass through that the tunneler queen and at least 4 tunnelers of varying types will appear and it is very easy to be overwhelmed by them. Even high level characters will face a very tough fight here.
Upon exiting the cave, another conversation with Ulysses begins. Regardless of which conversation options are chosen, Ulysses will initiate a remote override that results in ED-E being called to him and taken away as a companion. Everything that ED-E was carrying will be returned to inventory when this happens.
