Slaughterhouse Clive is a side quest on Monarch, given by Catherine Malin.
Synopsis[]
With the scarcity of Saltuna alternatives on Monarch, Clive Lumbergh has been making a killing by operating the planet's last remaining boarst factory. SubLight wants to take the self-proclaimed Boarst King of Monarch's profits for themselves and have hired you to get rid of him.
Walkthrough[]
To begin the quest, talk to Catherine in Fallbrook. She explains to you that Clive Lumbergh, the self-proclaimed Boarst King of Monarch, has been making a killing, according to Malin, by "...making the only meal to be had this side of Monarch..."
She decides that she no longer wants to go through Clive to get boarst and would rather take over the factory herself. So she asks the Stranger to deal with Clive. She also suggests speaking to Duncan Elley at Dry Goods & Sundry about a disguise prior to leaving town.
The C&P Boarst Factory is located west of Forlorn Crossroads. The factory will be surrounded by Corporate soldiers and one will need a Boarst Factory ID Cartridge to enter the factory peacefully. To get one, the Stranger should speak to the guard who greets them at the front door. Either lie, persuade, or intimidate in order to receive the ID.
If one cannot obtain an ID and does not want to kill everyone, it is possible to sneak into the factory through the sewer entrance, located southeast of the factory’s main entrance, at the bottom of the waterfall. There is a locked door which requires Lockpick 35 to open.
Without confronting Clive, there are several options for sabotaging the factory's operations:
- With Engineering 55, the canning machine terminal can be used to increase the production rate of the machine by 200%, sabotaging it.
- With Medical 55, the feeding machine terminal can be used to increase vitamines rate by 4000%, causing boarsts' death.
- With high Intelligence, the C&P financial documents can be altered on the office's terminal.
Afterwards, make your way to Clive's office and confront him. You have a few choices in handling the situation. You can either kill Clive, blackmail him into a partnership, or persuade him into letting you kill Catherine instead.
Kill Clive[]
The easiest way to complete the quest is to simply shoot Clive in his office. Afterwards, return to Catherine to receive a reward of 21,000 XP, 2,199 Bits and unique armor.
Kill Catherine[]
Choosing this option will unlock the quest, A Cysty-Dance with Death.
Convince Them to Work Together[]
Convincing him to work with Catherine will require a Medical skill of 55 and will reward you with 7000 XP.
If you decide not to kill anyone, head back to Catherine. You can either lie (100) or persuade (50) her to work with him, rewarding you 1,300 XP. Talk to her again to receive an additional 28,000 XP, 2,188 Bits, and the Sublight contractor helm.
Quest Stages[]
Notes[]
- The title of the quest is a reference to the novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
- If the Stranger speaks to Catherine after receiving the quest but prior to completing it, she will give them some bits to spur them to quicker action.
Bugs[]
- Sometimes Clive does not appear in his office, making it impossible to confront him. The quest can still be completed by sabotaging the factory using any of the methods mentioned above and returning to Catherine.
