Sierra Madre

Fallout: New Vegas guide · Starting Dead Money DLC

You are stripped of your gear and forced by Father Elijah to assemble three companions and break into the legendary Sierra Madre Casino. You must navigate a toxic villa filled with deadly red Cloud and hostile Ghost People while keeping your bomb collar from detonating. The primary goal is to gather the companions, trigger the gala event, and unlock the casino doors to confront the secrets of the vault.

Tips

Radios and speakers emit a high-pitched tone that causes your bomb collar to beep; destroy them or run past them before your collar explodes.
Avoid lingering in the red Cloud, as it constantly drains your health over time.
Look for Return Codes for the Sierra Madre Vending Machines to convert junk items, such as pre-War money and clothing, into valuable chips.
