How to Navigate to the Carnival of Doom Quest in Once Human
Before diving into the quest navigation, here's a quick overview to get you started:
Quest Name: Carnival of Doom
Quest Type: World Task
Recommended Level: 10
Location: Junkyard in Broken Delta, southwest of Meyer’s Market
Objective: Defeat Chuckles in a rigged game of Russian Roulette
The Carnival of Doom quest officially requires a recommended level of 10, but skilled players may be able to complete it at lower levels. You can find the quest's starting point in the southwest of Meyer’s Market, within the Junkyard Point of Interest (POI). Be prepared to face Rosetta soldiers guarding the area. Make sure your weapons are fully upgraded to efficiently take them down without suffering too much damage.
Once the quest is initiated, you'll enter a surreal, toy-like dimension controlled by Chuckles. Your primary goal is to defeat him in a game of Russian Roulette, which is rigged in his favor. To outsmart Chuckles and win, follow these steps:
- Avoid Immediate Engagement: Do not rush into the game with Chuckles right away, as the rigged setup will lead to failure.
- Activate Spacetime Vision: Press 'Q' to activate your Spacetime Vision. This ability will reveal a cable connected to the roulette table, leading to a hidden area.
- Trace the Cable: Follow the illuminated cable to a wall, where you'll find another figure resembling Chuckles manipulating the game.
- Request a Break: Return to Chuckles and select the dialogue option asking for some fresh air. This will prompt him to unlock a nearby door, allowing you access behind the wall.
- Confront the Deceptive Clown: Go through the unlocked door and navigate to the room where the second Chuckles is operating the cheating mechanism. Since firearms are disabled in this dimension, equip a melee weapon, approach stealthily, and eliminate him.
- Disable the Cheating Device: After neutralizing the second Chuckles, interact with the Roulette Cheating Device to deactivate it, ensuring a fair game.
- Challenge Chuckles Again: Return to the main area and accept Chuckles' challenge once more. This time, choose to pull the trigger yourself. With the cheating mechanism disabled, the game will be in your favor, leading to Chuckles' defeat.
