Whenever I tell that guy that the way is clear, he runs off towards the other direction, deeper into the caves where all the Lakelurks are. And then he dies.

I was playing this quest just yesterday and the exact same thing happened to me too. So i ended up running trying to follow him and keep him alive. Got all the way to the very last room, killed the Lakelurks and their King...Then I turn around and Private Halford was dead. He joined his dead buddies after all.

That's why I always go independent. NCR and legion are severely flawed in many ways, and the locals clearly hold no love or loyalty to the NCR, as they step all over the little settlements and annex and tax them do death, and nobody wants vegas to become the slave capital of the west, so the legion is hated by all across the other side of the colorado. House is too ambitious with space colonization, yet is heartless towards the people outside of the strip. I wish the developers had more time to develop the game, because no matter how much good i do and no matter how much i do to keep order, freeside always seems to turn archaic, yet despite the king's ending describing how freeside is one of the most stable places in the region, which makes no sense. If bethesda weren't cunts and forced development to end early, the ending wouldn't have been so contradicting.

You know Ox, I stumbled on your channel while looking how to properly mod Fallout 4 and then I simply got hook up: between your passion and your narrative skills it's impossible not to check if there is a new video up already, especially when you handle multi episode stories, like the recent Honest Hearts. This might be a super crazy idea but ... have you though of doing a playthrough of the original Fallouts? ( One and Two ). For me it all started back there, (born 1980). Anyway! Keep up the amazing work my man, see you around in the wasteland.

This was one of the few New Vegas quests that felt underbaked to me, like they didn't have enough time to truly flesh it out. It's missing a lot of the twists and turns most quests in that game have. Feels more like a Fallout 4 quest in that regard. Just go in, shoot a bunch of monsters, get some loot. The fact that you can't talk to anyone about it afterward, like you pointed out, makes it a bit anticlimactic. I usually skip this one on replays.

I've never found this location in my 10 or so playthroughs of fallout new Vegas, cool little side story. makes me think that sometimes, just sometimes the legion or house do have a point.
I wasnt able to watch your videos for almost two weeks (we moved, holidays came inbetween and still no internet at home!!) and when I heard your soothing voice again it was just amazing! Like coming back to an old friend. Ox, my husband and I reaaally like your videos and appreciat the tight schedule you keep! Thanks for your amazing work!
When I first discovered Camp Guardian, I didn't even know about the radio signal. It was eerie, just reading the scattered notes as "Thorn in My Side" (ambient track) played. Obsidian did a great job with building the environment.
The fact the dude looks you right in the eyes and talks to you before you *raise arms* boogedy boogedy boo!” And he stills goes ”AHHH” like how the hell man. And hearing oxhorn say it out loud like that was amazing 😂

No matter how incompetent the NCR is, I really just can't help but see how their leadership is one of the best possible outcomes for new Vegas. Legion and House IMO are the worst, but even then I can see how House is good for Vegas too.

Just found this channel and I've been binging all of these videos since I can't get NV working properly on my pc :(, this gets me my fix. My new favorite channel
I'm surprised you didn't take Animal Friend as a perk. As an old Skyrim player who remembered hunting down mudcrabs and other trivial beasts when I wanted to fast travel, it was a must for me.
I hope you will never stop making these extraordinary videos.
I just got the rebreather from the Boomers and was looking around underwater and found the caves. So I basically did the quest backwards. I killed every Mirelurk left at the peak. I started to descend when I noticed pages and tried to find them all. I only went back into the cave because I thought more pages were down there. It's funny that The private was like "Oh, we killed them all. Thanks for your help." I didn't even see him the first time.
Appreciate you doing New Vegas but could you do more Fallout and Fallout 2 videos. There is so much *JUICY* lore you have yet to cover
I had no idea where to take Halford's note and I did not want to search everyone at every NCR outpost for new dialogue options, so thank you, you saved me a lot of time!
15:07 That's the best speech option in the game... and his reaction is amazing
Gonna be honest, Halford kinda does look like amilkman with this mod installed :D
2 things you didn't address in the video. 1- the soldiers at bravo camp mention the camp and how they haven't radioed in, in a while. 2- If you exit the bottom cave (lake Mead exit) there is a boat about 20 metres out underwater, with a load of casino chips scattered all around it on the lake floor.
Came here because I was missing one page and wanted help finding it. Found it in the first few minutes but stayed because the video was so good. Nicely done!
in my gameplay halford out of a sudden just bolted out of the cave when it wasn't even half cleared
Sounds of war: *BOOGEDY BOOGEDY BOO!*
I loved your analytical critiquing of the NCR at the epilogue of the quest. And indeed that is the primary issue with the NCR.
i encountered a glitch in this area. i cleared out the caves, and exited from the water route. but then i quick traveled up to the top of the mountain and realized the guy wouldnt go away. so i had to go all the way back through the caves and go out the regular way before i could get him to leave. although now that i think about it i could have used the guy as an extra companion if i just decided to keep him
i visited ranger station bravo, before looking for camp guardian. the first thing comm officer tilden told me, was that they haven't heard anything from camp guardian in a few days. didn't give me a quest, but this dialog showed me the location on my map.
Always looking forward to your videos Ox, keep up the amazing work

I exited the caves with private halford through the water. He ended up following me and never stopped and said anything. The only way too heal him or give him armor was too sneak it into his inventory and wait a day. I did a test by giving him a bunch of gear and i went on too the sierra Madre quest. He spawned with me at the fountain and fought until he died and i retrieved all his gear.
I enjoyed that Aliens reference with someone named Burke sending them out to survey coordinates. Good stuff.

Private: Thanks for geting me out of there. *running back immediately without his weapon*
Love your videos man! Its like listening to an audio book
Honestly thank you so much - you’ve made this game more accessible for me. 💚
Most frustrating part of this 'non-quest' is that Halpurn dies ao easily when he runs ahead & he doesn't use the same exit

In my first play through I completely walked passed him and just clear the lakelurks. It wasn't till I was watching a similar video did I go back to help him in the 2nd
This video should give everybody watching a better understanding of the US military. It sheds light on the daily BS we have to deal with, and I hope this opens people's eyes to the struggle and makes the next soldiers coming in to fix the issue.
I was playing nv right now and coincidentally i was also in camp guardian ;)
Always a pleasure meeting the private on a legion playthrough
I accidentally found him while swimming and finding a hole in the ground but his dialogue was lacking so I thought I did something wrong.

Camp Guardian Cave would be my choice for a homestead outside of the towns and city in the entire Mojave region. If I were as combat capable and well equipped as my Courier, of course. The summit would be an excellent place for gazing at stars.
15:06 Best part XD
Thanks oxhorn i needed this today swear
Been playing this game for years, but even now i find more stuff i haven't seen before
I love your videos Oxhorn!! Keep up the Good work 😁🤘
Everytime I see more of these awesome NV lore videos, it makes me wish some group would take the FO4 engine and remake the game, like is being done with Oblivion and Morrowwind with the Skyrim engine. Ah well. Thankfully, NV still holds up wonderfully today.
I just got the dig tag fist, and already happened to have 9 other tags before the quest, so I made one. Fun to use.
I never noticed how much Major Polati looks like Van Damme before.
you should definitely do a vid on the Tops are their performers
When I first picked up the Camp Guardian distress beacon I thought it was going to be another place where everyone was dead and no one survived. So when I found the Private and fought the Lakelurks to get him out, it was a nice end.
I finished this quest yesterday, and thought it will make a good video for you 😨
There's a glitch by the fence of lake Mead...I don't remember if it's at the bottom or top..top I think if I remember correctly but if you do the jump right..can get behind the lake fence and get around to all the land behind...it takes you up to the road leading to the Legion's end camp..can't get down to the camp but can snipe a bit.
Drink whenever he says "dogtag fists"
I would have loved to have made this a settlement if the workshop function was in FNV . I did make this one of my player homes in my FNV games.
The bedroll at the top is for a designated marksman or a sniper to lay on and keep watch.
First of all Ox, you're the bomb.com. Second, please do a lore series on Old World Blues! I would love to hear your take on the DLC.
Camp bravo does send you down there to check on them if you speak to all of them. That's how I found the lookout station.
I can totally see Private Halford returning to California to write a book about what happened at Camp Guardian.
I want to see a video series on mothership zeta and more so point lookout with the unmarked quest of repairing the lighthouse and perhaps a side video of the dunwich-related quests and locations
You can also steal those dog tags "recompense of the fallen" in the desk of that legionary that is in charge of cottonwood cove.
Was bummed about the lost men too. Quest really had that Hills Have Eyes 2 vibe.
Only just now realizing that the lakelurks were likely leaving all the NCR guys for their babies. Piling them up with the brahmin near the egg clutches...
"A boogety boogety boo" In that moment I realised that I was in train when I started laughting
Dog Tag Fists are the easiest weapon to sneak in to zones that disarm you like casinos.
Boogedy boo part killed me lol
YES! I've been waiting for this one!
I killed the lakelurks after my 3rd run of tryna to keep him alive, I didn’t fix his leg and he just sits there. I tried waiting but he never left, I hope he doesn’t die because of his leg and in my mind I hope he’s back home in California
Looks like a perfect place for a lakelurk den.
You can also turn the dog tags into the legion, for more money and reputation with them. Taking credit for the kills done by lakelurks, which... I don't like the legion, but I do like caps. On my more mercenary playthroughs, that's the favourite choice.
3:39 There's one on the stairs too.
