The Apocalypse

The Apocalypse is a main quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Detailed walkthrough
This quest appears after you deal with Ulysses and decide the fate of the nuclear missiles at the temple. Choosing any option other than canceling the launch begins this quest and fails The End. Leaving the temple and watching the DLC ending completes the quest. On returning to the Mojave after the ending slides, a nuclear explosion can be seen in the general vicinity of whichever territory was targeted (or both, if you chose to nuke both Legion and NCR).
