Legate's Camp

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland.

The camp is east of the Hoover Dam, only accessible by a door inside the lower offices of the dam, and only entered with a key given during the last section of the final questline.

The only way to enter the camp is during the final leg of the main quest. Other than that, the camp remains sealed off from the rest of the map. It is surrounded by cliffs and mountains on all sides, inaccessible from the north (The Fort), the east (off the map), south (mountains), and west (mountains/cliffs/river/Hoover Dam).

Layout
Once you enter the camp there are a few Praetorian Guards, one is standing right in front of the hill and two are in the small encampment to the left. Heading up the hill, you will see Legate Lanius. Approaching him will for the Courier to engage in conversation in conversation (if you have 100 speech you can persuade him to leave, this avoids a purposely unfruitful fight against him and 6 or so praetorian guards). Because he is such a powerful character, lower-level players may prefer using a sneak attack against the Legate, rather than playing by his game and charging head-on. If you engage in combat through conversation, a large amount of troops will spawn and make things very difficult. Without the help of companions, this mission could come off as a bit too rough for many players.

On top of the hill stands Legate's War Tent. The tent is locked from the inside, [and currently, there is no known method of entry.] Indeed. Just open the console, click on the tent and type "activate", of course without the quote. Once you entered, you will find him with a praetorian on the right, and a slave, who is sitting on the left. The legate is actually torturing and amputating NCR prisoners, as you can see from the bodies on the table and on the floor. Lastly, you can't kill him. He's marked as essential, has almost 1000hp and the Blade of the East which can knock you down easily. --79.18.255.171 12:48, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
