Travel to Aspen and arrest Vic Buchanan.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you travel to Aspen to search for Vic, you'll need to upgrade the chassis of the Kodiak in order for it to handle the radiation you'll pass before reaching the mission's location. Otherwise, you and your team will take massive damage and will also obtain mutations from it. Apart from that, make sure you're well-stocked with Antidote items, you'll need it.

In order to reach Aspen, make sure to travel southwest from Colorado Springs and then head north. There is no path leading to Aspen if you travel northeast from Denver.

Upon reaching Aspen, a new primary mission will trigger which is Raising a Little Hell. You'll need to complete this mission as well since it's a part of The Psychopath mission.

Once you've rescued all of the hostages in Raising a Little Hell, you'll continue on this mission. Once you have the Patriarch Wing Key given by Ash, head back to the hallway where there are traps, you can disable it by heading to the Guest Suited where the reeds and rook were. (You can arrest Ash, let him go or kill him. No rep is lost if you kills Ash,  He has a defusal kit on his body that will give you +1 to explosives.)

What you need to do is have one member stand on the floor panel to disable the gas, and then have another member move past it to reach the generator that can disable it.

Nex,t there will be some mechanical turrets and breathers when you reach the Patriarch Wing. You can disable two of the generators with a 7 Mechanic skill level which is powering the Laser Turrets.

You'll find Vic hiding in his room which is locked, either interact with the door or speak to him via the intercom. Either way, he will let you in and you'll have to decide how to deal with him.

Depending on your decision, you'll complete this quest once you return back to the Patriarch's Palace and report to The Patriarch.

The Traitor Walkthrough

This mission can be unlocked after completing Home Away from Home. Locate Liberty Buchanan, the Patriarch's daughter, and bring her back home to Colorado Springs.

Once you advance the mission The Psychopath, Angela Deth will contact you regarding Liberty Buchanan's whereabouts.

Head back to Ranger HQ after getting the call and speak to her agent. Now, during your meeting with Angela's agent, you'll be attacked by Scars. Luckily, all NPCs within HQ will help in defending the area.

After the battle, you will learn about Angela's location which is at the Hoon Homestead. You'll find her waiting inside the Hoon familyhouse.

If you have (3) First Aid, you can offer your help regarding the scars on her face. She'll mention she's fine and she'll give you x5 Medic Pack - during your conversation, you'll be attacked again by Scars.

There's about x2 Scar Collector Thrall, x1 Scar Collector Bomb Thrall, x1 Scar Collector Leader, x1 Scar Collector Cyclops, and x1 Scar Collector Butcher.

  • Side with The Patriarch
  • Join Angela,
  • You can tell her that her plan will fail.
  • Side with the Ranger Command and threaten her.

After you've made a decision, head to Yuma County which is where Liberty is. Yuma County is near the southeastern area of the world map.

Before you head over to Yuma County, you'll need the Kodiak to be equipped with the Dominator Chassis to survive the radiation.

When you're near Yuma County, a man called "The Mechanic" will contact you via the radio and he'll ask you to see him at his garage. A dialogue cutscene between The Mechanic will then start upon entering Yuma County.

When you meet The Mechanic, you'll obtain a new primary mission which is Sand in the Gastank and two other secondary missions. You'll most likely need to complete the new primary mission since you'll need to infiltrate Liberty's compound anyway.

In Liberty's compound, you'll have to fight a group of Dorseys and some mechanical enemies. There are about 2 groups here you need to fight.

After winning the battle, you can unlock the gate with a (10) Lockpicking or break it. Behind the gate is where you'll find Liberty. Before you enter, you'll be prompted a warning that you won't be able to complete any missions upon entering.

Now upon confronting Liberty, you'll be given a few options:

  • (10) Kiss Ass - Convince her to let you become her new army. But make sure you don't have Lucia or Ironclad Cordite in the party.
  • (10) Nerd Stuff - Use your radio to hack her power armor and disable her drone control. This Immediately begins a fight.
  • (10) Hard Ass - Convince her that the other gangs with turn on her, and her Dad is her only hope for mercy. - This Skips the fight.
  • Attempt to put her into custody.
  • Attack her.

Now, if you attack her and after the battle. There's a door at the back which you can unlock with (6) Lockpicking. You'll find Lucia's father here. Once you've cleared the area, your next objective is to return to Colorado Springs.

On your way back, you will receive another call from Angela Deth regarding your final decision of siding with her or The Patriarch. Check the Endings page to learn more.

Raising a Little Hell Walkthrough

This Mission can be unlocked upon reaching Aspen during The Psychopath. Woodson told us Ranger Pizepi Joren was taken to a science lab, but he thinks she is safe. He doesn't know where the other two Rangers in his squad, La Loca and Rook, were taken. There are three Hundred Families members being tortured, including members of the Reed and Ward families.

Upon reaching Aspen, you'll get a call from Ranger Riley Woodson who's been taken hostage by Vic Buchanan. After speaking to him, you'll come across a group of Breathers and you'll need to fight them.

You'll fight against x3 Breathers, x3 Crazers, and 1x Fumer. These enemies will drop the Employee Lounge Key and the Welcome Lodge Key. If you head to the main entrance, you'll have to fight through another group of enemies, but it's better to head towards the Employee Lounge.

Inside the Employee Lounge Key, there's a door that requires (7) Lockpicking. Before heading down the stairs, there’s a (7) Explosives trap at the top of the stairs. Disarm this trap and move into the room at the bottom of the stairs. You'll find a (6) Nerd Stuff computer in here with a container nearby that has the Admin Office Key. Apart from that, the computer will also allow you to hack into the turret's system and have it target hostile characters. Doing so will kill the Crazer in the Welcome Lodge and also distracts that group of enemies. The Crazer inside the room will also have a key that you can loot. With the same computer, you can lower the bridge outside. Once you've lowered it, head back outside.

Head to the bridge and Ranger Woodson will contact you again and he'll provide you information regarding the weapons cache that the Breathers were trying to get. Now, head over to the Gondola Building where you'll find the key from one of the dead bodies outside. You'll need the key to unlock the door.

From here, head towards Little Hell Lodge where you'll find a hostage strung above a fire. Rescue the hostage and you'll increase your fame and learn more about Vic Buchanan and the Breathers. Continue inside the lodge and you'll find a group of Breathers. After the battle, you'll find Ranger Woodson in the backroom. If you have (6) First Aid, you'll be able to help him in advance.

Towards the nearby connected hallway will lead you to a room on the left that requires (1) Lockpicking for you to break into. When you first interact with the door or the attached intercom, someone named Ash will speak to you. He’ll warn you to not come inside because he’ll blow up every hostage. You can call his bluff and head inside or continue searching around the building for hostages. Now, if you go inside before rescuing the hostages, this will complete Raising a Little Hell, but also kill the hostages.

The choices towards Ash when you break into the room include freeing him, attacking, or arresting him. Also, you can learn more information about Vic Buchanan and the Breathers. Another skill choice requires (8) Hard Ass. Apart from that, Ash will also give you the Patriarch Wing key to continue The Psychopath mission.

If you do decide to rescue the hostages, here are the locations:

  • Pizepi can be found past the room where Ash is, but you'll need to sneak past the enemies ahead or try to wing your way around through conversation.
  • La Loca can be found inside a freezer room in the kitchen. You'll also find a vault inside the freezer room that requires (10) Lockpicking for it to be unlocked.
  • Two hostages can be found in two different guest suites. One of them is Ranger Rook.
  • Staff Member Llewellyn is an optional hostage you can also rescue found at the south side of the suites.
  • Estin Ward can be found near the pool filled with blood where you'll encounter a group of Breathers.
  • Make sure to loot the Sauna Maintenace Key off the bodies of the enemies so that you can unlock the room and find some loot there.

After freeing all hostages, return to the room where Ash is and confront him.

Sand in the Gastank Walkthrough

Liberty Buchanan is entrenched in a camp protected by the Scar Collectors, Godfishers, and Payasos. It'll be a lot easier for us to nab her if we get rid of the gangs. The Mechanic thinks the gangs will turn on each with the right provocations. We just have to find the buttons to push. 

Sow discord between the gangs around Yuma County.

You'll obtain this quest when you speak to The Mechanic at his garage when you reach Yuma County. He'll mention that the easiest way to get to Liberty is by pitting each gang against each other, which means you'll automatically obtain two secondary missions for you to complete which are Gods and Clowns and Canary in the Coal Mine. It is recommended that you complete this for it to be easier to complete The Traitor and it will be easier as well to infiltrate Liberty's compound.

  • After finishing the fight whit Sheriff Daisy, go to the west past the Marshals' headquarters. There will be a store up ahead with Payasos threatening the Casady family inside. You can walk past or jump in for a few decisions handling this situation.
    • Kiss Ass (8) - Unknown skill check.
    • Hard Ass (8) - Tell the Payasos to leave
    • Attack the Payasos saying that they've crossed the line.
    • Let the Payasos kill the Casady family.
    • Say that we're not here to murder innocents.
  • Ones you are finished with this situation, go ahead north up forward toward the Patriarch's museum to turn off an alarm inside
  • Follow the power cables inside to the floor panel in the southwest corner of the museum.
  • Here you can leave one member of your party on the floor panel. Then goes across the room, and there will be a red button on the wall.
  • Press the button to lower a locked door in the backroom of the museum. Interact with a computer inside the room. The computer has two skill choices and one normal one. Both skill choices will disable the museum’s alarm, while the third may not.

Confront the Patriarch: Now the blast heavy doors out front will be unlocked now and you’ll be to continue.

  • Go ahead and you will find the Patriarch. He will call you reavers and a fight will begin shortly afterward. Beware of the Patriarch's Manifest Destiny vehicle and his reinforcement waves that arrive over time. If you manage to wipe every enemy out before a wave of reinforcements arrives, the battle will end.
  • Once you've finished the battle with the Patriarch, he seems to kill himself. Ironclad Cordite will propose you to travel to Kansas and takeover the region with his gangs. This is a unique ending that only happens if you bring Cordite with you to Yuma County as previously mentioned. 

 

Wasteland 3 Endings

 

"Oops" Ending

oops-ending-wasteland-3-wiki-guide-300px

 

Conditions:

  • This ending is just hilarious. It pretty much gives you an ending based on your curiosity about tinkering stuff.
  • Upon reaching Union Station and finding the Morningstar, if you keep fixing it, it'll eventually explode, which results in the end of your journey in the game.

 

 

"Chaos" Ending

chaos-ending-wasteland-3-wiki-guide-300px

 

Conditions:

  • Before you take on the task of "taking" out Liberty Buchanan, head to the Patriarch's Palace and kill The Patriarch. Well, if you think killing him will solve your problems, it damn won't fix any of it.

 

Killing the Patriarch will result in the fall of Colorado Springs and Liberty's gang will begin to overrun the area. Destruction and chaos follow them, and the people of Colorado will hate you for what you've done.

 

 

Liberty's Army

libertys-army-ending-wasteland-3-wiki-guide-300px

 

Conditions:

  • Once you've confronted Liberty Buchanan, select the option of 10 Kiss Ass, which is to convince her that the Rangers' Team November could become a part of her army.
  • She will, however, only agree if you don't have Lucia, Vic, or Ironclad in your party.

 

With Team November joining forces with Liberty's troops, they are able to fight through The Patriarch's forces. Liberty captures her father and places him in a cage and brings him with her wherever and whenever she's out for a parade.

 

 

The Patriarch

the-patrirarchs-ending-wasteland-3-wiki-guide-300px

 

Conditions:

  • Once you've confronted Liberty Buchanan, select the option of 10 Hard Ass where you'll push her to surrender immediately. Or, you can also choose 10 Nerd Stuff first to sabotage her mechs before fighting her.
  • If you chose to fight her, arrest her or kill her, then return to the world map.
  • Select the option of siding with The Patriarch and then finish the last mission of the game.

 

Thanks to your help, Colorado remains safe and maintains order. From here, you can choose to stay in Colorado or return to Arizona, whichever choice you make, The Patriarch still keeps his promise by sending supplies over to the Desert Rangers as much as he can. Apart from that, you are also given a choice on dealing with Angela Deth and her team, which is to either execute them or ban them from Colorado.

 

 

Angela Deth

angela-deth-ending-wasteland-3-wiki-guide-300px

 

Conditions:

  • You must rescue Ironclad Cordite and complete his mission which is to unite the gangs in Yuma County.
  • Once you confront Liberty Buchanan, select the 10 Hard Ass option to push her to surrender immediately.
  • If you choose to fight her, make sure to select 10 Nerdy Stuff to sabotage her mechs, then after defeating her, it's up to you to kill or arrest her.
  • When you return to the world map, side with Angela Deth and complete the last Missions of the game.

 

Since you've sided with Angela Deth, you'll be given a couple of options on how to deal with The Patriarch; hold a trial for him, execute him, ban him, or throw him to the mob. Angela Deth will then also ask you to stay in Colorado or to return back to Arizona. Make sure to choose the option to remain in Colorado in order to save the Desert Rangers by calling them out and asking them to travel to Colorado. If you go back to Arizona, you're basically returning empty-handed and the Desert Rangers won't have any supplies.
