Salida del Sol



Salida del Sol is a location in the Sierra Madre found in the add-on Dead Money. The main entrance to this area is east of the Villa.

Background
Before the Great War, it was the home of the church and homes of many of the casino staff.

Layout
Salida del Sol is the eastern section of the Villa. It is split into Salida del Sol South and Salida del Sol North. Traps are littered across the area, with some hidden within the Cloud. A number of ghost people inhabit the area.

Salida del Sol south
The first area encountered is the southern portion. The northern portion initially seems blocked off by a locked gate leading to a courtyard in the northern section, and another gate is buried in rubble. The entrance to the northern area is actually located directly southeast of the courtyard gate through a door that leads into a house.

Salida switching station
The Salida switching station is located in the southwest corner of the area, and is where Dog must be brought for the quest Fires in the Sky. There is also a hidden terminal to bring power to the ventilation system and rid the area of the toxic cloud.

There are a total of three Dean's secret stashes in this area.

Salida del Sol north


The northern area of Salida del Sol is first entered through a house. In comparison to its southern counterpart, Salida del Sol north is not as thick with the Cloud and requires more traversing through ruined buildings. Speakers, radios, and traps are still common and the number of ghost people increases as the player character ventures further north.

Navigating Salida del Sol north is made easier by the graffiti on the walls: numerous tags saying things such as "Run, run, run!" have been spread across the area, and can help guide one's way back to the Villa. The tags are generally oriented so that, if the player character is facing one, then they are facing away from the bell tower, and toward the Villa. Therefore, if one sees a tag in front of them, it is guaranteed that they are continuing along the route toward the Villa. Turning around will lead more or less towards the bell tower.

A hologram vendor is located in the area.

There are a total of four of Dean's secret stashes in this area.

Salida del Sol courtyard
West of the north entrance's map marker is the Salida del Sol courtyard. The courtyard area is recognizable by what at first glance seems to be a toxic death trap filled with the Cloud, and the only area with standing water in the Villa. Most of the courtyard is filled with the Cloud, as the only safe areas to stand happen to be the awnings above the courtyard and the area right by the gate. The only exit is a locked gate which leads back to Salida del Sol south. Once fallen into, the only way out of the courtyard is to find the Salida del Sol courtyard key, located next to a skeleton and a toolbox in the southeast corner of the courtyard.

Campanas del Sol
Campanas del Sol is situated in the very north of Salida del Sol north and consists of a building which houses a large number of ghost people.

Behind the scenes

 * "Salida del sol" is Spanish for "sunrise."
 * With Wild Wasteland, in the basement area on the way to the bell tower, graffiti saying "I am not your mummy" is seen on a pillar in the center. This is a reference to the Doctor Who episodes "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances", in which a set of nanomachines infect victims of the Blitz in London, turning them into gas mask-wearing zombies who can only ask "Are you my mummy?".
