The Outer Worlds – Herrick’s Handiwork

by Chappie in

 

Obtained: Talk to Caleb Herrick on the upper deck of the Yacht Club and agree to mediate for him.

 

Objective(s):

  • Convince Velma to Negotiate
  • Inform Caleb that Velma will Negotiate
  • Inform Velma the Situation is Resolved

 

Convince Velma to Negotiate

Head to the warehouse and talk to Velma Ballard about Caleb. She isn’t convinced by any of the dialog options. If you have Lie 30, you can find out that she might have something that can be used against her for blackmail on her terminal. If this evidence is found, Velma might be persuaded to increase Caleb’s salary. On the other hand she also tells you that Caleb is living off of a stash that he keeps at his home, which is located near the diner. You have the option to steal his stash to make him return to work. Note that either option has the same rewards.

 

*Blackmail Velma: To find Velma’s terminal, head to the second level via the stairs next to the break room. Once at the top of the stairs, follow the walkway to Velma’s office. To access her terminal, you will need Hack 55. Once you hack your way in, look at her personal files to get some leverage on her. Return to Velma and use the new found information to get Caleb that raise.

 

Inform Caleb that Velma will Negotiate

Head back to Caleb at the Yacht Club and give him the good news to complete the quest.

 

*Steal Caleb’s Stash: Head to Chef Raymond’s diner and go up the stairs. Jump over the railing on the balcony facing south. From there, turn left and jump onto the overhang of the next building. Caleb’s stash is located in the yellow bin. You will need Lockpick 50 to open it and loot its contents. Return to Caleb and tell him he doesn’t have the savings he thinks he does (you can also lie if its 50).

 

Inform Velma the Situation is Resolved

Head back to the warehouse and tell Velma that Caleb will be coming back to work. This will complete the quest.

Objective(s):

  • Check with Celia
  • Speak with Velma at the Warehouse
  • Get Grimm’s Tossball Poster
  • Deliver the Tossball Poster to Grimm

 

Check with Celia

Head into the tallest building northwest of the transition to Stellar Bay Ruins (south) and talk to Celia. Tell her the Grimm asked us to check with her about his tossball poster.

 

Speak with Velma at the Warehouse

Head to the warehouse and talk with Velma. Ask her about the poster to learn that she decided to sell it to someone else.

 

Get Grimm’s Tossball Poster

To get the poster, you have several options:

1. You can bribe Velma with bits.

2. If your Intimidate is high enough, you can force her to give it to you.

3. You can choose the Persuade option, and she will want you to finish The Secret People side quest first. Once you finish the quest, return to Velma and show her the item from the quest as proof. Use the Persuade option again, and she will give you the poster.

4. If your Lockpick is high enough, sneak into her office and steal it from her container.

5. Kill her and take the container key from her corpse. Use the key to open the container.

6. Pickpocket the container key off her if your Sneak is high enough. Use the key to open the container.

7. Talk to Nell at Left Field Bar. If your Lie is high enough, you can get her to give up the poster for Grimm. The other option here would be to ask her if she would trade for the poster. She says she only wanted the poster because her shipment of tossball jerseys got lost near Amber Heights. If you find the jerseys, she will let Grimm have the poster. If you choose to look for the jerseys, head out the Stellar Bay Ruins (South) gate and follow the objective south to arrive at a crash site up in the hills near the Amber Heights Crossroads. Take out the marauders camped there then enter one of the storage containers to find the jersey in a bin. Grab it and return to Nell to hand it over. Return to Velma and tell her that Nell no longer needs the poster to receive it.

8. Return to Grimm and tell him that Nell is buying the poster and there is nothing he can do about it (you monster!).

 

Deliver the Tossball Poster to Grimm

Head back to Grimm near the port and speak with him to hand over the poster, completing the quest.
