Rockopolis

[charlie_moslin]

OK guys, I've been playing this game for a long time now. I have never found a good way of getting the bobblehead. On this particular run I must have spent 2 hours (real time), night and day, wandering looking for that rock door. Has anybody got any good pointers. It is so annoying. Not uninteresting 'cos I get a lot of nasties on my case., but I want to do that and the Deathclaw Sanctuary before I finish off the game.

its a bit vague but its between lamplight and ten penny tower, easier to find at night coz the entrance is slightly lighter against the darker background. For easy quick anser try youtube or wikki

Start out at Smith Casey's Garage and go dead West. It'll pretty much take you to the exact spot the entrance is.

Like function9 said, go to smith caseys garage. use the compass to look directly west, and run that way for about a minute or two depending on if you encounter any hostiles. Look back occasionally to see that you are still directly west of smith caseys garage. The enterance to rockopolis is covered with a banner (similar to the one seen at your 10th birthday party). There is no actual door, just a rock wall that can be interacted with.

Thanks guys, but I was thinking more of some different landmarks to spot, just so I know I am close. There are about 6 or 7 rocky outcrops, all of which are similar. I always seem to end up going past the entrance. End up at the edge of the map. This time I found it on about the third journey but only 'cos I ended up taking on a Yogi and a deathclaw. That was just luck. I was really wondering whether anyone had noticed any landmarks that aren't well documented. A strang looking load of rocks perhaps? A radio tower to the SE, something like that. So annoying when you know you are close armed to the teeth, but can't find it.

It has an old type of banner on the rocks at the entrance, one of those triangle strings with coloured triangles hanging from the banner string. you go through the rock channels and usually run into some type of encounter just before it opens up into a wider area, look for the banner to the left side (west)when walking north.

Once I find the banner Carinth, no problem. It's finding the banner that is the problem. I'm not new to the game. Go W from Casey's Garage. Fine. I always end up scuttling around trying to find what should be an easy Bobblehead. On this occasion I was forced to rescue SP Cross from an Albino Radscorpion and a Deathclaw and once that turmoil was over, I just turned around and there was the bunting. I've tried to do it early ie without being 20+. I dont need it. I just want that Bobblehead. Thanks for the ideas though.

Yeh, when you hit the tall rocks, you walk along the rocks at ground level till it splits into a path. Just before the crevice path that runs between the tall rocks that split into two at that point, you'll encounter something, it's usually where the rocks split into the path running between the two halves. Follow that path and you'll encounter something else near the area where the rocks on either side widen into an open area, it is that area that rockcopolis is. I think the open area has a pond just after it. If you stand in the center of the open area, face the pond then turn all the way around looking at the rockface behind, you should see the banner. Left side as you enter the open area from the path.

And actually getting it early is good, you get a reward from Duke Daring when you let him know his companion died there in tenpenny tower. Get it before talking to him and he gives access to his room safe.

[Carinth]

You have to do it before doing the ghoul quest for tenpenny, or he won't give you access, it just skips by the reward. It's like an un-marked quest.

Mamy thanks for that. I want back to a save and found the place immediately without any problem, excluding a deathclaw and an albino radsorpion. As mentioned though, It might be an idea to go for this one quite early.
