They Went That-a-Way

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas. It is also an Achievement on the Xbox 360 and PC; and a Silver Trophy on the PlayStation 3.

Quick walkthrough
Well, now you're ready to mosey on out of Goodsprings and find that guy in the checkered suit. Get looking!

Detailed walkthrough
1. Find the men who tried to kill you. This is the overall objective in the quest. So don't worry about it. Finish the other objectives.

2. Go to Primm, a bit south-east down the road from Goodsprings Source. When you get there, you'll be stopped by a New California Republic trooper, who tells you Primm is off limits, and to stay on the west side of the overpass if you don't want to get shot. The east side of Primm (the side where you can see the roller coaster) has been overtaken by Powder gangers. If you ask the NCR for help, they'll just say it's not under their jurisdiction, and even if it was, they're desperately low on supplies and extra hands. Go into Primm and kill everyone who is outside. There are about six Powder gangers. Enter Vikki and Vance Casino where you'll find Primm's remaining citizens, and can talk to a man named Johnson Nash about finding the guy who shot you.

3. Skipping past My Kind of Town, Head to Nipton, which is down the road south, then east. Once there you find only two people. The rest have been killed, tortured and crucified by Caesar's Legion. If you go into the store on the left you find the second survivor, named Boxcars who tells you that they took a few hostages. You also figure out that you need to go to Novac.

4. The road to Novac is pretty easy. A few foes, but nothing you can't handle. Once at Novac, ask around and someone will direct you to Manny Vargas who is located in the T-rex during the daytime.

5. Go through the T-rex gift shop and talk to Manny. Unless you have the Confirmed Bachelor perk, he will make you clear out a building to the west before he tells you anything. This will lead you to the Come Fly With Me quest. You can also use the terminal in his hotel room (No hacking required, also no karma loss, and Manny will not turn hostile toward you even if he witnesses you using the terminal) and read his journal logs. This triggers the continuation of the quest also. (If you clear out the building to the west before going to Manny, the mission may not trigger "complete" even if you go back over to the already-cleared building.)

6. After you do that, he will tell you that they went to Boulder City. Go there and do Boulder City Showdown. About halfway through when you talk to Jessup you will complete They Went That-a-Way.
