Barton the Fink



Barton the Fink is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

General
This quest is given by Barton Thorn near Goodsprings source.

Detailed walkthrough
Head to Goodsprings source, and towards the water trough, and the Courier will see Barton Thorn wandering around aimlessly. Talk to him, and he'll plead for the player's help to save his girlfriend trapped by geckos. He'll give the Courier clear directions on where to go: head towards the broken radio tower, then turn right. There the player should be going up an incline.

As the Courier goes further up, they should see a path forking off towards the right. There is a refrigerator, bed, footlocker, and some loot (the optional cache). Be careful, however, of the three bear traps. This area is also a Wild Wasteland trigger area.

Behind the scenes
The title is a reference to the Coen Brothers movie Barton Fink.
