Stuck in the Barrens

[starlightinherwake]

Hi, everyone!

I'm a bit stuck in the Barrens. I bumped into the redhead lady, but I'm not sure how to get the robot in the boat to start, or where to find the 6-digit code for the generator (I'm not sure what it is, but you need a 6-digit code) thingie. At the moment I have the crowbar, empty battery, empty bottle, camera, and the lightbulb.

Does anyone know what to do next?

Thanks in advance!

Can you explain to me what you did? I'm stuck in basically the same situation.

Ok, so to get fix the robot in the boat, you need to power on the generator to bring electricity back to the Barrens, and you need to get an acidic solution you make in the areas with toxic gas (the Gas Mask is in the six-digit safe) to derust the robot.

To start, go back to the readhead lady's house and interact with the bookshelf on the far right (I'm pretty sure it's this bookshelf; try the others if I'm wrong though). The redhead lady will give you a screwdriver, which you combine with the camera to get the lens. Then, you want to combine the lens with the empty battery, and then you want to combine the rechargeable/empty battery with the lightbulb to recharge it.

Next, take the rechargable battery back to the generator (it's in the back of the building near ProphetBot), and insert it in. Electricy should turn on, and most of the robots will be back on. With the electricity back, leave the room with the generator and interact with the now powerered on computer. The game will go to windowed mode, and tell you that the code for the six-digit safe is hidden in your computer. Go to the My Documents of your real life computer, and find the text document titled "DOCUMENT.oneshot." Inside this document is the code for the six-digit safe (if the code isn't unique to each player, my code was 325695). Go plug this code into the safe to obtain the Gas Mask.

Now, head north from the area with the safe to the area with toxic gas. Go to the north end of the toxic area and enter the building near the pipe/silo structures. Inside, grab the Rubber Gloves on the floor to the right. Then, use the crowbar to break down the boards on the doorway, and then walk inside. Go to the right to find a sponge. You can leave the building now.

Now, head to the area to the west of the building you just left, and keep going west until you find a medical building (it's the one with a cross outside). Go inside and interact with the box of medical supplies to get the syringe.

Next, leave this building, and head to the far west end to find a toxic gas opening that's coming directly from the ground opposed to the other ones that come out of stalagmite-like objects (Niko isn't tall enough to reach the gas on the stalagmite ones). Use your empty bottle on this to get a bottle of gas. Then, head southwest to find a pool with a large green bubble-like formation over it. Use the syringe on it to fill the syringe. Then, combine the filled syringe with the bottle of gas. Then, combine the bottle of acidic solution with the sponge. You can now use this on the robot in the boat, who is now awake due to the generator being turned on, to derust the robot. However, the robot's navigational programming is messed up, so the robot tells you to go talk to the redheaded girl for help. Go talk to the redheaded girl to get an amber amulet. Take this back to the robot on the boat to fix his navigational programming.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help, a high blue cat! (You beat me to it!)

Yep, that's pretty much what I did, but with a lot more stumbling around, a jumbled order, and trial and error, as I just saved at the next save point and didn't see this until now. For example, I got the syringe first, then the gloves and such.

The one thing I will add is that my code inside the real-life document was different from theirs. Mine was 791654. So, I assume it's unique to each player.

If the real-life Doc file isn't working for you, others on the forum have been posting about troubleshooting for that, just in case.

I hope that this helps also! Good luck getting through this section!

I believe if you use the bottle on the gas, Niko will empty out the bottle and then fill it up with gas instead.

that code one got me . I tried using the steam id for the game (which for me shows as a 6digit number)

Pablitorock, I did the same thing you did when I was at this level! And, also, A High Blue Cat is right. In my case, I ended up emptying out the bottle, then finding the syringe and using that again on the water. From there, you can combine the two. I hope that that helps!

After you talk to the creepy terminal, a code should show up within a NotePad document within your Documents folder on your computer, in a document titled document.ONESHOT (or something to that effect). It's different for each user. If you're having problems with getting it to work, here's a thread on how to fix it for this document specifically: http://steamcommunity.com/app/420530/discussions/0/1843493219417008391/
It seems uninstall and resintall works for other users. There are also other posts on the forum that can help if you need them if you search "documents", but I'm not linking them here due to the fact that they contain spoilers. I hope that this helps as well!

Yeah i find it ! The gas was sneaky ! I finally did it :D
Thanks you all :D
