In The Outer Worlds 2, players encounter the challenging 'For Whom The Bridge Tolls' quest on Eden. This side quest requires players to navigate complex decisions to gain access to a critical bridge, with potential encounters impacting game progression.
Quest Overview and Challenges
Players must track De Vries to the Vox Relay and meet Senior Warden Charlton Weintraut on the bridge. Weintraut demands that players present two individuals for execution to access the bridge. This request triggers the quest, requiring players to find Ida Rutledge and Charlton Weintraut.
Finding Ida Rutledge and Charlton Weintraut
To locate Ida Rutledge, players venture to Sovereign's Sweet Spire Grove in the southwest. The path involves overcoming obstacles such as a broken elevator that requires Engineering skill level 3 to repair. Upon reaching the site, players discover Ida's demise and must retrieve her severed arm.
- Ida Rutledge: Reachable at Sovereign's Sweet Spire Grove
- Charlton Weintraut: Initially found in Westport, near the coast
- Players must interact with Charlton's terminal and complete 'The Brain Benders of Auntie's Choice' to persuade him
Gaining Bridge Access
Successfully bringing both people to the bridge or persuading them to move grants access, but not full entry to the Vox Relay. Through strategic exploration and skill application, players can improve game dynamics and narrative depth. This quest exemplifies how The Outer Worlds 2 demands tactical thinking and resourcefulness.
