Mardin

Mardin is an underground cave labyrinth northwest of St. Louis, within which the lair of the Beastlords was located. The Beastlords possessed an inherent telepathic suggestion which allowed them to control animals. It was acquired through prolonged exposure to an unknown radiation present within Mardin's underground caves. According to the Brotherhood scribes, that this unique mutation only manifests in humans that have been exposed for at least twenty years.

Around 2197, an Eastern Brotherhood of Steel squad was sent to Mardin and eliminated the Beastlords.

Fallout Tactics mission
After this mission you will be able to recruit deathclwas, and as this is an objective, the BoS will like you more for it. Take more than usual 7.62 bullets, as here it will be rare. Take shotgunshells and HPbullets too, as the enemies will be again unarmored. Come here daytime.

On the surface it is huntung-season. The hardest things to shoot will be the wasps - they are too small, so try burst mode, if you feel.

The only thing worse to mention you will find a HKCaws early on. This is a perfect burst-mode shotgun. Will be useful if entered the underground camp.

There are many enterances for this. If you goes down the farthest it will turn a separated crypt. Loot. If you goes down the big hole there will be giant insects. Than babydeathclaws, what you maybe prefer to save (doesn't matter, and this is the easies way to enter).

The main enterance sucks. Try the one closest to the crypt. Run down in agressive mode, bursting the Caws. Than be cautious. Use grenades if you feel so.

Find the Matriarch. Unlock the cage's door, but do not open it till you kill everyone except the main room, where Emperor Dahl resides. In the cages ther are babydeathclwas, on the other side civilians. The c's requires lockpick (20% will do, if you forget the lockpicks) and run to the surface (clear the way for them), the bd's can be opened with a switch. This way you can get some reinforcement after you open Mothers cage and talk to her. When you do that she will go down the main hall, and start hitting the bls. The bds still alive will turn all green, and helps you in this fight (sorry for them as they will most likely all die).

After all talk again with the mother (you will find her in bunker gamma, you can hire her, you can barter with her - has no items makes this possibility foolish).

You will step hughly on the ranks and karma when finishing this mission if you completed all subplots - good for you:)
