Ulysses' Odyssey is a challenge in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Challenge requirements
The player must find the 6 holotapes recorded by Ulysses hidden throughout the Divide: two in Hopeville, two around the High Road and two in the Divide itself.
Locations
- Ulysses log Y-17.15 - Located just past the locked gates of Hopeville Missile Base - Loading Station in the toolbox amongst the military crates of the overturned truck to the right.
- Ulysses log Y-17.21 - Next to the Marked men supply outpost, behind a locked gate (leveled difficulty).
- Ulysses log Y-17.16 - In The Crow's Nest, inside the top of the ruined buildings next to a bedroll.
- Ulysses log Y-17.22 - Just beyond the High Road past Junction 7 rest stop, where the road dead ends, you should see a long cargo container high up sticking out underneath the collapsed tunnel. Jump up the rocks to get to the truck back, turn right. You should see smoke from a campfire. The holotape is directly south of the campfire, leaning against a rock wall. Clarification: If you already found the Junction 7 Rest Stop then teleport there. You will probably get attacked by tunnelers and a couple of deathclaws so be prepared. Once you've cleared them head East towards the green, white, and red "Smitty's" sign which leads up an incline towards the highway. You will notice the orange and white container just to your right as you approach street level. Jump up the rocks. You should see smoke coming from the right of the container. The holotape is over there.
- Ulysses log Y-17.23 - Midway between Sunstone Tower roof and the ground. When descending from the roof, the rusted metallic structure will lead to a small room with stairs that lead down. Do not proceed down the stairs. The rusted structure continues out of that room, forming a bridge to another room marked by a blue old world flag. Head for the room marked by the flag and look for an average locked wall safe. The holotape is on the desk in front of the safe.
- Ulysses log Y-17.17 - West of Sunstone Tower roof, after detonating the warhead to continue on, turn right towards the entrance into the building that leads into the The Cave of the Abaddon. On your left you should see a building lying on its side, next to a "Saturnite" neon sign. The building in question has a white Old World Flag sign on its roof. The log is in the upper floor, at the very end, underneath a mattress.
Effects
Grants 100 XP upon completion.
Notes
Finding all the holotapes and listening to them will give you extra dialogue options when speaking to Ulysses, including several Speech checks. It will also open up extra options for dealing with him in the quest The Courier.
Behind the scenes
The name of this challenge is a reference to Ulysses' original goal: to join two tribes together. The Odyssey is a Greek word for Odysseus' journey (written by Homer), and Ulysses is the Roman name for Odysseus.
