Find Weylon Mealing
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Head over to the Placid Waters Wellnitarium southwest of Praetor. When you first enter the Wellnitarium, a mist will welcome you, giving you the Mentally Refreshed perk. |
| 2 |  After passing through the mist, talk to Designated Subject Greeter Yackley. He will then instruct you take an evaluation to be supervised by the Intake Evaluation Mech found on the window beside him. |
| 3 |  Start the evaluation by talking to the Intake Evaluation Mech. You can answer the questions by choosing any dialogue as the passing score is zero (0). |
| 4 |  After passing the evaluation, pick up the Low-Privilege Priority pass next to the reception room. Use this to access and use the elevator. |
| 5 |  Step out of the elevator and look for the cell on the right most part of the room. You can find Weylon Mealing inside this cell. |
| 6 |  Talk to Weylon and inform him of your plan to get him out of the Wellnitarium. While an additional dialogue can be unlocked by passing a Speech 7 check, this does not affect the quest in any way. Before agreeing to leave, Weylon tells you that you need to do two things: unseal the kitchen and retrieve his commemorative pitchball. |
Unseal the Kitchen
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | From Weylon's cell, turn around and head left. Once you see the classroom setup to the right, turn left again until you see a posted guard. Sneak behind him to use the elevator and choose Observational Oversight (3rd floor). |
| 2 |  After exiting the elevator, turn right and open the door. You should see a corridor where two enemies are standing. Sneak your way past them and turn right again when you reach the wall and enter the room ahead. If you choose to go left after exiting the elevator, you'll meet Head Refresher Gould. Defeating him in a debate rewards you with the Lathe schematics that would be used in the quest Mysteries of the Mental Modulators. |
| 3 |  Keep crouching as an enemy will be posted inside this room. If you have Hack 7 and a Bypass Shunt, you can sneakily reach the terminal to unseal the kitchen. Alternatively, you can steal the Full-Privilege Pass on the guard's desk to unseal the kitchen later if you don't have Hack 7. |
Retrieve Weylon's Commemorative Pitchball
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  After unsealing the kitchen, head outside the room and continue moving towards the other side of the floor. The reception room will be the second door that you see to your right. |
| 2 |  Do not be alerted by the receptionist and the mech as they will assume that you are allowed to enter the area. You can then pick up Weylon's pitchball. |
Escape with Weylon
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Exit the reception room by using the door beside the mech. Use the elevator outside and descend to Weylon's cell. |
| 2 |  Talk to Weylon and inform him that you retrieved his pitchball and that the kitchen is now open for escaping. |
| 3 |  Accompany Weylon to the kitchen. If you unsealed the kitchen with Hack 7, the sentry guarding outside will be deactivated. If you opt to steal the Full-Privilege Pass, you must insert it inside the device outside the kitchen. |
| 4 |  Speak to Weylon once again to prompt his escape. Don't worry if you don't see Weylon outside the Wellnitarium as the game automatically teleports him to the Free Market Station. |
Meet Millie Mealing at Free Market Station
Fast travel to the Free Market Station to meet up with Millie and Weylon. Both of them can be seen outisde The 2nd Choice Saloon.
