Normally, we would have some of the Dead Horses or Sorrows look for them, but many pre-War buildings in the valley are taboo. They won't go inside.Joshua Graham

Detailed walkthrough[]

After meeting Joshua Graham and getting his request to gather supplies for Daniel and the Sorrows, exit Angel cave. The quest markers point to the locations of the Zion General Store and the Zion Ranger station, situated adjacent to each other in the northwest of Zion Canyon, west of Cueva Guarache.

The area slightly north of the two buildings serves as a spawn point for a random assortment of native Zion creatures, so beware as one may encounter yao guai, green geckoes or cazadores. Inside the General Store, a few giant mantises will attack. The objective is finding a set of five Li'l Scout lunchboxes, with their locations around the interior as follows:

  • Two are at the far end of the counter with the silenced .22 pistol.
  • One is in the stacked wooden crates by the left side of the store.
  • One is on the bottom of the cupboard in the back of the store behind the rake and broom.
  • One is inside an Average-locked desk. It can either be picked or opened by finding one of two keys, either from inside a nearby toolbox or taking the other one from inside the cash register on the counter in the front of the store.

Inside the Ranger station, one will encounter a few bark scorpions protecting the back room containing a medical supply kit. Unfortunately, the squalid conditions from the nesting scorpions contaminated the vital supplies in the kit. There are a few options for dealing with the contamination:

  • Pass a Medicine 30 skill check to salvage the supply kit.
  • Obtain spare parts to substitute the contaminated supplies. This requires obtaining one unit of duct tape and turpentine each, for which the duct tape can be found on a shelf next to the mantle with teddy bears on it and turpentine can be found on a table in the kitchen area.
  • Obtain alcohol to sterilize the contaminated supplies. This requires obtaining one unit of either scotch, vodka, or whiskey, all three of which can be found in the nearby fridge.

Once the medical supply kit is repaired in any fashion and obtained, the quest will complete. If done so after completing Gone Fishin' and Roadside Attraction, the main quest Deliverer of Sorrows will trigger.

Behind the scenes[]

A tourist trap is a colloquial term for an establishment, or a group of establishments, that were created with the aim of attracting tourists for their money. Tourist traps will typically provide services, entertainment, food, souvenirs and other poor-quality products for tourists to purchase at inflated prices.
