Kill the basement rats

Walkthrough

To get this quest you must go to the Temple of CoC and do not forget to bring 10 caps for door guard to let you in. Then talk to Patrick inside in the Temple and accept the quest. He teleports you to the highest floor of the basement. You can start with killing rats. Few of them are stronger („Brain Varmin“), have 230 hp and you gain 240 xp. One of the rooms is locked and after picking you can take 3 flares from the table. Afterwards open the altar and get in the lower floor. You can expect the same work – kill some Mutated Rats and Brain Varmins. One of the strong rat has the key you need to open the next room. In this level there are some bookcases you can loot (Deans Electronics book, Tool, few caps). In the room with light blue shadow is standing one Glowing Ghoul. He has the key in his inventory (you can search him immediately or kill him after short dialogue – he will attack you anyway). In this floor you can see another manhole that leads to the lowest level of the Temple. You will be probably a little shocked of what you see. There is a man in the Robe called „Crazy Monk“ and he will attack you when you start to shoot at his plant spikes. There is a 13 of them. For each dead plant spike you gain 120 xp. So, that’s the end of killing and you may get back to the ground floor and tell Patrick about your adventure. You can choose the reward now. It can be Leather Armor MkII., Medical Supplies (Stimpaks and Doctors Bag) or Scoped Hunting Rifle. Finally, the quest is completed and you gain 180 xp. Even your reputation of CoC increases to "Accepted".
