Silver Shroud mission, save Kent

[WeeHawky]

is there some easy way ? I can't sem to figure it out.

[Sempophai]

the method i keep using, is, before entering into conversation with the last boss, i pop a grape mentat and use the 'kill me first option', it's a hard charisma check, but if you pass it, they all target you instead of kent.

Just, use your highest damage weapon and try to have a crit stored up for your final hit, shoot everything into his head and kent should survive.
If you have a freezing weapon then you can just use that and it's easy to save kent.

I had to reload a bunch of times to save him.

If you can pass the speech check to have the other 2 run away then it's even easier since you're not being shot at.

One of the dialog options will say kent will get to enjoy the show while they try to kill you, its how I saved him

Even if you make the others run, the remaining two immediately target kent. Unless you have an OP build that can vats headshot him fast, then the charisma check is the only option. Some people have stated that if they just come out of the last lift shooting and avoid the conversation, maybe everything targets them first as well... can't confirm that myself.

Depends on your SPECIAL stats and what you've brought with you.


First note; if you can kill the two anonymous henchman (one on either side) from the elevator, sneakily, Sinjin and Avery don't seem to care and this leaves just the two of them; they won't react at all until you get a bit closer.

If you have high Charisma and are wearing the Silver Shroud outfit, you may be able to convince them that you are the Silver Shroud. Sinjin will not believe you, but the others can back off; in this scenario, you still need to kill Sinjin in one shot or at least stagger him so you can finish him off before he can kill Ken.

Another option with the same setup, is convincing them to target you rather than Ken, reducing the risk that Ken dies provided that you're careful aiming.


If you don't have very high Charisma, and you're not carrying Grape Mentats for the giant CHA boost, your best bet is probably going to be something like (1) kill the unnamed henchman without approaching; (2) pop Psycho Jet; (3) kill Sinjin and then Avery, preferably using a high-damage weapon. Sinjin needs to die first, then Avery will aim at Ken so you have a very short window to kill/stagger her.

I had heard things about this being "bugged" and was worried. I passed the Charisma check after failing an attempt or two at other options. There was nothing buggy about it.

Grape Mentats are like +5, Reginald's suit is +3, various other outfits offer +2, various hats give another +1, food and drink can give a Charisma bonus as well.

If you don't spend your perk points every time you level up, you can save some for times just like this one. Can't progress because you need to pass a certain skill check? No problem, just give yourself what you need and try again.

really? when i passed it the only person that went aggro was sinjin, and all I had to do was vats him in the head and crit the final shot. then run up and hit him a few times
