Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I managed to snag that elusive Bank Manager Key in Fallout London. It was a bit of a trek, not gonna lie, but totally worth it for the loot.
First off, I heard whispers about this key leading to some serious goodies. So, I started by hitting up the usual suspects: vendors, shady dealers, you name it. No luck. Nada. Zilch. Seemed like everyone was tight-lipped about it.
Then, I figured, “Okay, let’s try a different angle.” I started focusing on quests around the financial district. Figured a key to a bank manager’s office probably wouldn’t be lying around a raider camp, right?
The Turning Point: It was a seemingly minor side quest that led me down the right path. Some bloke needed help retrieving a “lost ledger” from a group of rather unfriendly characters. It was a messy fight, lots of lead flying around, but I got the ledger back.
Turns out, this wasn’t just any ledger. It had some encoded messages about a hidden stash. I had to do a little digging, decoding with some old world terminals I found (thank god for my high intelligence stat!), and the code revealed a location.
- Go to the Old Church
- Find the crypt entrance
- Solve the puzzle inside using clues from the ledger.
Inside the Crypt: Creepy doesn’t even begin to describe it. Ghouls everywhere. Had to blast my way through a horde of ’em. The puzzle itself wasn’t too bad, thank goodness. It involved rotating some statues in a specific order based on dates mentioned in the ledger – basically, historical figures related to the bank.
Once I cracked the puzzle, a secret passage opened up. And what was at the end of that passage? You guessed it – the Bank Manager’s Key! It was just sitting there in a dusty old strongbox.
The Bank Vault: Getting into the bank itself was easy enough. Used the key on the manager’s office, and from there, I could access the main vault controls. Let me tell you, the loot was insane! Caps, pre-war money, even some rare weapons and armor. Felt like I hit the jackpot.
So, the moral of the story? Don’t ignore those seemingly insignificant side quests. Sometimes, the biggest rewards come from the smallest of beginnings.
