How do I get through Vault 15? I'm told I need a rope, but can't find one
I'm playing the original Fallout for the first time. I beat up some cave rats outside of Vault 13 and made it to Vault 15. However, I can't figure out how to progress in it. I made it to the elevator shaft, but I'm told that I need a rope for it. I've thoroughly searched the area, but I can't find one. How do I get past this and continue through Vault 15?
You just need a generic "rope" item to use on the shaft, and there isn't one in the immediate area. The complete locations are listed on the wiki: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Rope
