If you’re stomach is a bit weak for that, maybe you should take the Good Karma way out and use the failsafe terminal.

If not, go to talk to Betty. She tells you to gather a weapon and mask from the abandoned house, don the disguise of the Pint Sized Slasher, and slash up the entire neighborhood.

This is the simplest of her tasks, but it might be the most time consuming as you chase everyone down.

As usual, here’s a quick illustrated walkthrough. Then we’ll hash it out in words.

This one should be pretty simple.

As per Betty’s instructions, go to the Abandoned House. It’s to the north of the playground area, next to Old Lady Dithers’ house.

To the right of the house, you’ll find a dog house. When you interact with the dog house, you’ll loot a crazy looking mask and a big knife. You’ll automatically equip these items and become… the Pint Sized Slasher!

At this point, you can just run amok and kill everyone. I didn’t have a lot of luck hiding and sneaking up on people. Once they get a look at you, they run in terror.

One suggestion would be to not try and chase people down outside. They run just as fast as you do, and you have no ranged attacks. You might run the entire length of the map before you catch up with them.

Once a person sees you, they tend to run for their house. If you are between them and the house, they’ll take a wide circle around the map to their home. Once inside, they’ll run around inside - a much easier place to catch and kill them.

So, scare them off, let them run home, and walk inside and slash away. Once everyone is dead, go talk to Betty.

Dr. Braun won’t give you much information, like he does when you take the Good Karma route (the failsafe terminal). But he will open the magical doorway back to the real world.

After going through the door, you should find yourself in Vault 112 and your father, James, will get out of a pod near you. You can talk to him to get caught up on all the latest gossip, and then the two of you should travel back to Rivet City.

You’re done with Chapter 6! Head to Chapter 7. Maybe I’ll work up a walkthrough for that next.

Betty asks you to come up with a creative way for Mabel Henderson to die. Physical beating won’t do, even with a rolling pin. So head to her house and try and figure out all the creative ways you can booby trap it!

There are four ways that I’ve discovered, and here they are in a detailed walkthrough.

How to Kill Mabel Henderson – Illustrated Walkthrough

First things first, here’s an illustrated walkthrough, complete with screenshots, of all the wonderful methods of murder. Then, we’ll explain it in more detail.

How to Kill Mabel Henderson – Detailed Walkthrough

And now, the wordy version.

First, find the Henderson residence. Mabel Henderson lives in the house on the southeastern point of the circle.

Betty wanted you to be creative, and there are plenty of creative ways to kill Mabel Henderson. There are four different methods that I could figure out.

When you first enter the house, you can tamper with the chandelier. It’s in the living room, just before the hallway to the kitchen.

Interact with the chandelier and you’ll be given an option to rig it so that it falls on someone. Sit on the couch and wait for a bit. Eventually Mabel Henderson will walk by and you can watch as the chandelier falls on her head.

If you go up the stairs, you’ll be able to place a rollerskate at the edge of the landing. Interact with the roller-skate and you’ll push it right up to the edge.

If you wait for a little bit, you’ll be able to see Mabel Henderson walk across the landing and tumble down the stairs.

For something with a little more pizazz, tamper with Mrs. Henderson’s pilot light. Walk into her kitchen and interact with the oven. You’ll have an option to tamper with the pilot light, and you’ll smell gas gathering in the area. 

Go find Mrs. Henderson and now you can ask her to make you a pie. Follow her as she heads into the kitchen. When she goes to light the oven, the gas will explode, setting her on fire. Don’t worry, the explosion won’t hurt you. I safely sat and watched from the kitchen table.

Finally, you can use the security system (Mr. Handy). In the kitchen, you’ll find a computer terminal. The second option allows you to initiate the security protocol. The third option allows you to disable security screening (remove targeting information). Select both options, and Mr. Handy should turn hostile.

Be careful that Mr. Handy doesn’t become hostile towards you. If he does, you can run back to the terminal and turn the program off. However, you’ll have to wait inside the house until Mr. Handy kills Mrs. Henderson. The security protocol locks the front door.

This one is enjoyable, but it can be a bit annoying. Mabel Henderson runs away a lot, and it can take a while for Mr. Handy to finally kill her with the flamethrower.

Once again, the choice is yours. No noticeable rewards for picking one method of murder over another.

But this is so much more fun. After making Timmy Neusbaum cry, Betty will give you another task: make the Rockwells get a divorce.

There is, again, an easy way out. There are also some more creative and difficult to figure out methods. Take your pick of the following three options.

First things first, here’s a quick illustrated walkthrough showing you your options. Stay tuned for a detailed written explanation.

Now for those of you who prefer words to pictures…

First, find the Rockwell’s residence. It’s the house that looks distinctively like all of the other houses in the neighborhood. Head to the southwestern point of the circle.

For this dirty trick, you have three options. One straightforward, two a bit more roundabout.

The simplest method is a speech test, just like with Timmy Neusbaum. When you first speak to Mrs. Rockwell, you can convince her that her husband is cheating on her with Ms. Simpson. If you succeed (I had a ~70% chance), she gets into a fight with her husband and storms out.

The brutal method is to kill Ms. Simpson. If you walk upstairs into Mrs. Rockwell’s bedroom, you can read her diary. She apparently thinks Ms. Simpson is messing around with her husband, and she fantasizes about killing her.

Head down to the kitchen and you’ll find a rolling pin. This is one of the few (only?) weapons that you can pick up in Tranquility Lane. You’ll automatically equip it.

Head next door and find Ms. Simpson. Beat her with the rolling pin – two or three good whacks should bring her down. Then, walk back to the Rockwell residence. When you talk to Mr. Rockwell, you can tell him that Mrs. Rockwell has gone insane and murdered Ms. Simpson. If you stick around, you’ll get to hear their argument.

The sneaky method is to plant sexy underwear in Mr. Rockwell’s basement. Go to Ms. Simpson’s house (right nextdoor) and walk upstairs. On the bed, you’ll find some Lacy Underwear. Pick it up.

Head back to the Rockwell residence. In the hallway to the kitchen, you’ll see a basement door. Go downstairs and in the corner you’ll find a desk that you can interact with. Activating the desk will place the lacy underwear on top of it.

Go back upstairs and find Mrs. Rockwell. You can now tell her to follow you into the basement. When she finds the lacy underwear, you can take your pick about what to tell her. Either one will create an argument and spark the divorce. I chose to tell her that her husband was a cross-dresser.

Take your pick with the methods. Like with Timmy Neusbaum, you don’t gain anything for being sneaky – just a little enjoyment. You might lose a little extra karma if you choose the murder route, if that matters to you. Oddly enough, you don’t lose any karma for stealing the lacy underwear.
