Find a Way to Cut Off Access to the Sulfur

Using the Blue Sector Key Card, take the elevator to explore Vault 19 and locate the entrance to the Sulfur Cave.

Enter the Sulfur Caves

Upon entering the Sulfur Caves, you will encounter a couple of Fire Geckos in the area. Eliminate them as you progress to avoid getting overwhelmed.

Setup the Explosives

As soon as you reach the Microcline Rock, with enough Skill Points in Explosives, you have to set up a couple of C4s depending on the choice you make.

Destroy the Cave

Choosing to destroy the Cave requires 3 C4s and 60 Skill Points in Explosives, sealing off the Sulfur Cave and forcing Cooke to have nothing to offer to the gang.

Destroy the Cave and Vault 19

Choosing to destroy both the Cave and Vault requires 5 C4s and 55 Skill Points in Explosives, resulting in the death of everyone in Vault 19, and the quest will automatically fail.

Go back to Philip Lem

After setting up the explosives, you can return to Philip Lem to report that you have sealed up the Sulfur Caves. Here, you will decide if you are going to convince Philip Lem to join the Khans or if you’re going to let them turn themselves in to the NCR.

Let Philip Turn Themselves In

Convince Philip to Join the Khans

However, if you decide to convince Philip to join the Khans, the quest will continue, requiring you to talk to Papa Khan to ask if he will allow the gang to join the Khans. This dialogue option requires at least 50 Skill Points in Speech.

Talk to Papa Khan

If you choose to convince Philip Lem to join the Khans, you’ll need to talk to Papa Khan at Red Rock Canyon to ask for his approval before allowing the gang to join the faction.

Return to Philip Lem

After talking to Papa Khan, you can inform Philip Lem that they can join the Khans as long as they participate in the initiation, which completes the Side Quest.

Using the Red Sector Key Card, take the elevator to explore beneath Vault 19. Here, you will encounter Fire Geckos that you need to eliminate for Samuel Cooke. Finish them all off as you proceed to complete the objective.
