Cold, Cold Heart

If you stop in Nipton you'll come across Vulpes and the Legion. He'll want you to spread the word of the legion's terror in the west.

Travel to Mojave Outpost and talk to Sgt. Kilborn to end the quest. This will boost your fame with the Legion

Render Unto Caesar

After dealing with The Tops, Vulpes will appear and inform you that Caesar is interested in meeting you as well. Undergoing this endgame option will lower your ties with both the NCR and Mr. House, so decide carefully who you want to support. Travel to Cottonwood Cove and you'll be able to catch a boat ride to The Fort. Here, you'll be asked to remove your weapons. If your Speech is high enough, you can still take your concealed weapons. Travel up to Caesar's tent and he'll inform you of what he wants. If you let Benny live, he'll be captured and in the tent with the Legion. Caesar has the Platinum Chip and wants you to use it in order to destroy House's army of robots.

Enter the bunker behind the tent and you'll be give back your weapons, along with the chip. If you have good standing with Mr. House, you'll be able to enter and move around safely at first. However, with bad standings you may have to fight enemies that are even stronger and are in greater waves. Find the three markers on your map and destroy the generators by shooting them. The amount of radiation and guards will increase as you destroy more of the base. Quickly escape and return to the surface. Alternately, you can comply with House and instead power the robot army. Caesar will assume from the amount of noise that the robots are destroyed and will inform you of his next mission.

If Benny is still alive, Caesar will allow you to deal with him. You can choose to kill him in one final duel, nail him to a cross, or even attempt to set him free. If you kill him, you can take a fairly good pistol from his body, named Maria. Afterwards, Caesar will want you to kill off Mr. House.

As with the NCR route, Mr. House can be found by entering the Lucky 38 penthouse and breaking through two doors on the left. Open House's chamber and kill or disable him from the system. Upon returning to Caesar, you can check up on his medical condition and find you next task. He'll ask you complete Volare, or simply kill off the Boomer leaders Pearl and Loyal. After completing that sidequest, he'll ask about a certain The Strip quest solution.

You'll want to enter the Ultra-Luxe and complete the White Glove Society quest Beyond the Beef. To gain their favor, select the cannibal solution from either knowing their secret beforehand, have high speech, or be a cannibal yourself. Choosing the alternate path will not make them your allies. Last of all, Caesar will want you to kill the Brotherhood of Steel in Hidden Valley, regardless of what you did during Still in the Dark.

Et Tumor, Brute?

When you return to Caesar, you'll find that his health has gotten worse. You'll need to have good speech or medicine to attempt to save his life. Gather up the necessary medical supplies by traveling to the quest markers or visiting hospitals outside New Vegas.

Doctor Usanagi in the Medical Clinic is a good means for buying what you need. Once ready attempt to perform the surgery on Caesar. You even have the option of killing him and making it look like natural causes. His subordinates may become mad over his death, but they can be talked down with good enough Speech. You can also explore Vault 34 and find the Auto-Doc passed the flooded clinic and through a security door. Using this Auto Doc, you can heal Caesar even if you lack the Medicine skill.

Arizona Killer

The NCR President is headed for Hoover Dam and it's your job to take him down. Meet up with your contact, Cato, and he will supply you with a disguise to make things easier.

Assassinating President Kimball will quickly lower NCR morale and make the upcoming battles easier. Before starting, you may want to level your Repair, Explosives, or Science to 50. Otherwise, come armed with a strong sniper rifle and plenty of ammo. There are many options to take down the President: With Repair or Science you can use the Anti-Air guns to take him out. With high Explosives, talk to your Legion pals to gain explosives and destroy the Vertibird. However, with none of these skills, head to the tower and take out a rifle. A good head shot or two should be enough to kill off Kimball. Afterwards, kill the guards or run back to the Legion camp.

Veni, Vidi, Vici

After talking to Lucius you'll be sent to Legate Lanius' camp to strike against the NCR. You'll be storming Hoover Dam with a large squad of Legionnaires by your side.

Make contact with Docanus in the Dam's towers and you'll be able to recruit more soldiers to storm the various regions of the NCR base.

There are plenty of NCR around that have strong armor, including stolen power armor from the Brotherhood. You should be well armed and armored to take on so many powerful enemies.

Finally, follow the quest markers through the basement and make your way across the dam. If you have stolen NCR armor, disguise as them so you can easily walk by. At the end of the line you'll come across General Lee and his veteran Rangers. You can talk him out of a fight with good Speech, or fight him directly. You won't have much support during the fight, so battling all of the rangers at once can be tricky. Try to use the terrain for cover and activate VATS quickly. After killing off the enemy or letting them go, return to Lanius to end the game.
