Quests
- Kill the weedlings: When the Prisoner first arrives at the Mesa Top he will find Denom and the Ciphers battling a group of weedlings in one of the greenhouses. Whether or not the Prisoner assists or not is up to them.[3]
- Figure out what Denom did to the crops: Azkee is worried about the crops. They're unnaturally large, and he's concerned that Denom might have done something to "improve" the fields which might ultimately prove detrimental to the Ciphers.[4]
- Restore the crop fields with the Miracle Wheat: The Prisoner can learn that the Followers of the Apocalypse have miracle wheat, which is capable of cleaning up irradiated ground. The Prisoner can mention this to Denom and offer to bring him some seeds.[5]
