Et Tumor, Brute?
Depending on how you've decided to heal Caesar, there are two possible solutions to this quest:
Solution 1
You need to obtain Doctor's Bag and Surgical Tools. You can find both things in the [New Vegas Medical Clinic] (MsB:14). The Doctor's Bag can also be purchased (it costs around 60 caps), but it is also possible that you already have it (you could find it near the Doc Mitchell's bed). You can also purchase Surgical Tools but they cost around 1000 caps.
- you can steal tools from a First Aid Kit within the clinic.
Solution 2
If you haven't managed to properly diagnose Caesar, you need to find missing Auto-Doc part. Head to the [Vault 34] (MsB:30). You should watch out for Golden Geckos, Feral Ghouls and Vault Security, either at the entrance and inside the vault. Look for a corridor with a leaking pipe. Further way is flooded so dive under the desk and locate a vault technician there. Search him and get the security terminal password #1. Now go through the clinic heading to the Armory (M18A:4), which is also flooded #2. There is another drowned vault technician with the utility terminal password.
Go to the utility room where you can access the terminal using the password you've found (M18A:5) #1 and activate the pump system. Next go to the [Armory] where you can find the diagnostic scanning module (M18B:1) #2.
Ending
When you have all needed items, return to Caesar's tent (M9:1). If you have the diagnostic scanning module, install it in his Auto-Doc. Next activate it and choose:
- to remove a tumor;
- kill Caesar.
If you've chosen the first option, Caesar will be very grateful and he will give you another task - to kill Kimball, the NCR president.
If you've killed Caesar you will have to face Lucius in a while. You can lie to him [Medicine 50] or [Speech 50], that you couldn't do anything. Lucius will become a new leader and he will give you another task - to kill Kimball, the NCR president
A quest is unlocked: [Arizona Killer].
