The Legend of the Star



The Legend of the Star is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Detailed walkthrough
This quest is given by Festus, an animatronic robot inside Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters. Festus is located by following the left wall after entering through the front door. In order to finish this quest the player needs to find 50 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps and return them to Festus.

Once that is completed, Festus will tell the Courier the legend of how Sunset Sarsaparilla came to be. When he is done, the game will report that the quest has failed, then the player character will be given the quest A Valuable Lesson.

The player character must complete "A Valuable Lesson" in order to receive the Achievement/Trophy "The Legend of the Star."

Behind the scenes
According to Joshua Sawyer, the quest was inspired by his experiences collecting Tootsie Roll Pop wrappers as a boy due to a false rumor that sending 100 special wrappers bearing illustrations of a boy dressed as a Native American shooting an arrow at a star would yield a special prize. The story that Festus tells upon completion of the quest is based upon a story that was sent out to children who sent in wrappers and it shares many common elements. A terminal shows that the rumor about a prize was not created by the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company, and was only used to continue the increase in profits that was started by the rumors.
