Detailed walkthrough

NOTE: There is no way to get this quest without passing at least a 50 Speech check or a 50 Medicine check.

The quest can be triggered by speaking to Joana or Carlitos, who reside in the Gomorrah casino and hotel (in the courtyard) and the Vault 21 hotel (in the mess hall), respectively. To activate the quest with Joana, the player must pass a Medicine (50) or Speech (75) to initiate dialog that will eventually have Joana talk about Cachino and Carlitos. She will offer the player 200 caps or sexual services for taking the quest, (the second option is only available if your character is male, or a female with the Cherchez La Femme perk). If the player can't meet either check, they can talk to Carlitos, who only needs a Speech (50) to find out about why he left the Omertas and Joana. Carlitos will give the player 200 caps upon accepting the offer to help him and another 200 upon completion.

The first part of the quest involves ferrying messages between Carlitos and Joana. After some running back and forth, the player can agree to help Joana and two of her fellow prostitutes escape to Freeside to join Carlitos; the agreement being to wait until between 12AM and dawn, Gomorrah's busiest hours, before attempting the escape. Carlitos advises the player to get some backup before attempting the escape, as Carlitos knows two guns-for-hire that owe him a favor. This gives the player the option to recruit Big Beard and Little Beard, who are located in the Atomic Wrangler casino. Once the player is ready, they need only speak to Joana, who will then change outfits and walk to the casino floor where the other two prostitutes are waiting. Talking to Joana once she arrives causes all three to run to the meeting point in Freeside, which is down the first side street outside the Strip gate.

Once the player character meets up with the hired guns and Carlitos, four Omerta thugs will ambush the group. The player can either go into combat with them, or talk them into leaving with one of three checks; Strength (8, 9), Speech (75, 85) or Barter (85 with 500 or 75 with 1000 caps). Carlitos and Joana must survive the confrontation or else the quest will fail. If successful, Carlitos will thank the player and ask if there is a way to repay the kindness. From here you have a choice between receiving 200 caps or accepting a simple thanks. Alternatively, if you talked to Carlitos first and you have a high enough Barter skill (65), you can get another 400 caps on top of the 200 at the start.

From here Joana will thank the Courier and mention a sinister plot she's heard about from Cachino about the Omertas. The How Little We Know quest will initiate if you haven't found this quest already.

Notes

  • Completing How Little We Know will instantly fail this quest regardless of its resolution.
  • Despite the sense of urgency once you've reached Freeside with the girls, you don't have to follow them to Carlitos.
  • It is unknown where Carlitos and Joana end up after you've finished the quest and they stayed alive, although they do have dialogue proposing that you can meet them afterward. Also, if you quickly talk to Joana or Carlitos after you deal with the Gomorrah thugs or if you re-enable and move her to you Joana will say "I am happy to see you again. Carlitos and I have been living here since our escape".
  • Killing any Omerta thugs might cause you to be unable to complete this quest, since Joana might turn hostile to you (it is possible to take out all the guards and still able to continue this quest).
  • The wait function can't be used in the Gomorrah's main lobby while waiting on Joana to approach the two disguised hookers.
  • If you use the Wait function while Joana is waiting with the other girls, the mission will fail.
    • Even if they have been escorted to Carlitos, waiting will still make this quest fail.

Behind the scenes

The name of the quest is either a reference to The Everly Brothers' song Bye Bye Love or The Cars' song Bye Bye Love.
