Super Urgent! Can't find red key card in the Glow! Help!

Radoteur · Post by **Radoteur** » Sat Jun 01, 2002 1:37 pm

It's the end of the world!
I found the keycard on the power armor guy on the 1st level, but i could not find the next keycard. I assumed i wasn't looking hard enough so i double-checked.
Finally, i was fed-up and looked at a walkthough.
It said that the red key card was on a body in the northeast corner of the 2nd floor.
I used 10 flares and lit the place up, and still no cards.

I tried detrapping the door, but my skill is too low. Please help!

Weird.... check all the bodies in level 2. It's somewhere there... be sure to check every body..

Or just raise your traps and lockpicks and deal with the doors that way.

The thing is...
THERE ARE NO BODIES!

There are only the sentry robots.
I think i got there around March 15, if that matters.

In level 2? Oh there are bodies. I'm 110% sure that there are. Just look. They might be a pile of goo, or hidden near the wall so you can't find them unless you walk near to them, but I'm positive that there are bodies.

It should be on a dead body in the NE corner like the walkthrough says. The date should not matter maybe you need to re-install. Since your lockpicking skill is too low just return later after raising that skill if you can't find the key.

I'm considering keeping the save files in a safe place and reinstalling the game.

I've got the patch, so i'll probably apply it the the reinstall.

Reinstalled.
Not working.
Die computer.
Kill everyone.
Ease pain.
Lose Karma.
Who cares.

There is only one body on that level. In the room to the top and right-hand corner, about in the middle. Even before the patch as well!

Here is a really rough map.
Of level 2 glow.
I think.

Ignore the dots, i had to put them there so the spacing wouldn't screwup.

*=elevator

The only body on floor one was the power armor guy, and sentries, after i massacred em. I saw no bodies on this floor, I really thoroughly checked the room where it says "Is it this room?"

Thats the one

Radoteur · Post by **Radoteur** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 4:20 am

I swear i lit that room up like a torch. I took about 15 flares with me, saved, then lit it up. It was as bright as day, and yet... NO BODY!

I reinstalled, put the patch on.

I'm going to get my earliest saved game and try heading for the glow. If it doesn't work... I might have to do something drastic, starting a new game.

If the corpse isn't there, something's really messed up! It]s on the second floor, in the room you marked, smack dab in the middle of it as a matter fo fact!

Radoteur · Post by **Radoteur** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 4:51 am

I installed humongous installation, Fallout deserves 500mb of memory.
Do you think it might change if i change the installation.
I'm going to try flaming something, if the burnt body from the flamer doesn't show, then i know i'm in trouble. Is the burnt body in glow and burnt body from flamer the same (looking)?

Warlord · Post by **Warlord** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 5:25 am

Yeah, it looks the same.

Somthing is messed up BIG time if you can't see the body. It is there! I just checked.

I took a screenshot, disregard Tycho's, Ian's and Dogmeat's bodies. I was pissed.

I hope this works.
I'm using that clubphoto Pyro was talking about.

Tank · Post by **Tank** » Sun Jun 02, 2002 6:15 am

Weirde... I'll load the Glow and go make sure that's where it's supposed to be!

Radoteur · Post by **Radoteur** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 10:42 am

Out of desperation, I have used 10 stimpacks and opened up the door with my meager traps ability. Unfortunantly I think i'm missing out on some stuff that other burnt bodies were supposed to have.

I was also really pissed when I realized that every time i want to use the elevator i need to detrap and lockpick it. I really wish it would work.

Ehrm,you do know that the coalpiles littering the floors are bodies right?
It took a while before I figured that out.Some of them are really crispy.
Besides ,I usually miss the blue keycard meself,and you could save yourself some pain by retiring all robots before you turn the power on.
It's only level 5 you can't reach without power, I think...

Rat Keeng · Post by **Rat Keeng** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 6:42 pm

Yes, you have to activate the power in level 6 to get to level 5, but the red card should still be in the NE room on the 2nd level on a dead body. I've never heard of this problem before.

BTW Kizmiaz, that's a damn fine avatar you got there

Look at the picture. That is where the "body" is supposed to be, it isn't there. There are no burnt bodies. I lit the area up with flares, and still no bodies. I guess i can check, again.
