His tears and panicked cries sound so much better when you're listening from your hotel room in Novac with 37 Gold Bars in the safe.

Step 1: Try to negotiate Step 2: Start begging Step 3: Look for alternative escapes Step 4: Make revenge plans Step 5: Accept your fate

I was good friends with Richard Herd the voice actor for Elijah. He was a great man and a wonderful actor. He passed away a few years ago. RIP

"Sorry about the collars..." "We can make an army! I'll show you how to put collars on them!" This Is great

Obsidian: It's about letting go! Me: *Waddles out with my gold bars*

"When you die, Courier..." Courier, now a Cyborg: You're in for a long wait...

You know the damnest thing? One could easily ignore that frequency, and never hear this. He'd just be screaming, with no one to listen.

My only regret from trapping Elijah in the vault was that I had no way of taunting him via a radio.

Well, I didn't realize he foreshadowed Ulysses and the Big Empty. That's actually really cool. This means that the writers actually had the DLC story written beforehand and knew where they wanted to take it.

Funny considering this man gave such enormous speeches about human greed and the cruelty that comes with it.

Elijah: *rambles about being trapped in the Sierra Madre vault** The Courier: My brother in Christ, you wanted to access the vault.

Everyone: "it's about letting go." My Courier, about to finesse Elijah with the most devious lick the wastes have ever seen: "letting go of poverty, now watch this shit"

I thought you could just hear Elijah rambling to himself if you lock him, I didn't knew you could get another audio from him

The single best part of this is that Elijah is simply unable to comprehend the Courier’s ability to let go. To look in the face of absolute power and wealth, and to walk away.

"Dead Money is about letting go! You cant get everything you want!" Me walking out of the vault with 37 gold bars stuck up my ass:

It’s interesting the only peaceful option with Elijah is trapping him, and that’s a worse fate than death.

Courier Six: .... That was always your problem Elijah. *Lights a cigarette* Whether it was the NCR, the Brotherhood, or the Sierra Madre... You just couldn't let it go. *Flicks the match away, and exits the BoS Bunker*

I like how a lot of the DLC are connected, Elijah is connected in Old World Blues, Lonesome Road Zion and the new Caninities are mentioned in that DLC too.

Meanwhile on my radio, all I hear is Elijah complaining about arthritis and dropping things.

Its interesting that Veronica was in his last thoughts, inspite of the fact that he ruined her and her lover's life.

Probably one of THE most satisfying moments in Fallout New Vegas. Especially with all that gold.

I left my Heart in the Sierra Madre ❤️

I didn't notice this until recently, it's easy to miss since most ppl just want to leave the Sierra madre

Dead Money is such an amazing an underrated DLC. I love it so much!

His last message was "Save the world. My final message"

God this is just sad to listen too

The funny thing is Ulysses sent father Elijah to the Sierra Madre because he knew it would be his grave and he was right

Courier - " I have a gift for you, Father Elijah. For all the things you've done, all the things you might have done, and for the only thing you have left. Goodbye father."

Jokes on you, Elijah. I already went to the Big MT and made peace with Ulysses.

I don't hear him saying that In my playthrough even after I completed it All I hear is him rambling when before you enter the casino All he said "What the hell 21 doing??" "I wish I still have that hollow rifle" "Damn Cloud still in my lungs, rattling around." "Good thing I installed radios in the collars, Pip-Boy's letting me pick them up." "Unnn... sitting too long. Damn arthritis." "Come too far to go back now. Too far." "Hnh. Going to wipe the slate clean. Kimball, the Republic... Hardin, McNamara, my "brothers." Then I'll head back West." And repeat

"You can't get away" "K bye" casually walks out

Elijah's imprisonment reminds me of the cask of amontillado.

I just finished the dlc today, left him and the vault as well. Only to come on to KZfaq and see this straight away, creepy haha

I can’t let go. Every replay, I start with dead money and once I leave the Sierra Madre I just start to lose interest because nothing else replicates the experience or story. It’s a grand time, and the most enjoyment I’ve had with any fallout.

I can’t hear you with all this gold clanking around in my pockets

I never even knew that this was his radio signal. I never listened to it. I was at the gun runners when i saw the signal on my pipboys radio. it was only playing static, but now i know why. He suffocated, and his pipboy is still on broadcast mode forever till it gives out.

He should not complain, he wanted to get into the vault and get his hands on everything that's there. He got what he wanted. If he wanted to be able to LEAVE the vault with all the goodies he should have been more specific. On the other note, he is sort of lucky: at least he's closed with a gun so he can take his life instead of the slow death.

I beat dead money on 360, by stealing all the gold and sneaking out, But for some reason after I beat the DLC it would play the second to last message and not the last one over the frequency. Kind of confused me ngl

Great video. That's one I've never heard before. I've got a hard save made just before going into the vault. Time to replay it.

For me he just says: "Wish i still had that damn holorifle, spent forever making it" "Hardin, Mcnamara my brothers! The Republic?" "*cough* damn still cloud in my lungs" Repeat

Wow- I didn’t know this

I never knew you could hear his final message, i felt bad hearing him beg in fear, cant imagine how terrifying it must be to be stuck in a metal coffin essentially...but damn these gold bars look nice

While this dialogue is cool, I always kill him. Too many unknowns, and it is unwise to leave a would be supervillain and murderer of his talent alone in the Madre’s vault, assuming he will die of thirst before finding a way out. While you could trap him, both result in his death, better to know for a fact that it happens and do it yourself.

Felt like Jigsaw when I left the old bastard to rot in the dark

Real Chads end the game with him, to begin again.

Elijah is the greatest antagonist of the Fallout serie. You can't change my mind.

Love listening to him suffer after what he put me through

Is there any way lore wise for Elijah to break out? I wish the Psycho Elijah end was actually possible! Think about him instead of House!

wow that was interesting! thanks for this!

i will say it was fun geting him locked in the vult and geting all of the gold it was hard tho anmd i had to reload my save a lot

I made the sneaking unnecessarily hard on myself, both by being weighed down by the gold and by smashing the turret generator (which apparently causes him to trigger the alarms before entering the vault). Actual nightmare to time it right and get through

This is extremely satisfying

For a second I thought this was a schizo elijah video.

Man, that radio at the end.... Makes me shiver. Imagine if he REALLY escapes😳 RIP Richard Herd who made Father Elijah immortal

i was able to escape the same way except i used the dynamite that you got earlier to kill elijah and with some luck his body exploded towards the door so i ended up getting all the gold bars and his stuff

I wish someone makes a mod to memorialize the voice actor of elijah.

I'm still watching this 1 week after I took all gold bars It feels so good it took me 36 attempts so screw you father Elijah

Interestingly enough, you can also hear this radio at the Big MT too

My final message to him was that I farted in the vault before leaving. Do you know what a Sierra Madre Martini does to your digestive system?

Elijah's only possible "saviors:" The Courier: Hates him and is the reason he's stuck. Veronica: Hates him and thinks he's dead Ulysses: Hates him and thinks he's an idiot

RIP RICHARD HERD 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

I always tried getting this message after trapping him the vault. The only i remember getting was him trying to get out. I replayed this several times but couldn't get this one

a fitting end

May there be a hell for you, Tartarus… Bleak, unending

Very interesting

İ love how he talks about ulysses helping him even tho he is my companion

My second favorite DLC

This dlc was that good that it felt like a personal victory in the real world to not only escape but to know Elijah will spend the rest of his life rotting and knowing he failed

Hey do you mind sharing the list of mods you use in New Vegas? Especially the visual and character texture mods

Too bad Elijah, I intend to live forever

hey, nice job mate

No ill be living forever helping people Elijah

I also remember if you take all the stuff also has different dialogue.

It took me like 5 tries, but I took so much gold.

My game bugged out so that his regular radio loop from before this kept playing. Even when I exited the DLC and he was trapped he was muttering like normal.

It's sad that Elijah couldn't offer anything to us that we couldn't get by other means. Armies? We have it Collars? We have them Power? We have it Control? We never truly lost it, from the momment Elijah thought he outsmarted us, he lost, he was no longer pushing us, we where just pulling him where we wanted him to be.

Oh this is a new video lmao

"i need you to gain access to that vault or else i detonate your collar" "im sorry please let me go"

Courier's final message to Elijah: "I gave you the Sierra Madre, and now you are one with it for good".

pfft ,i escaped with a 37 gold bars in my inventory,but didn't get my revenge on this geezer

Well, I did not know about this. After all he put me through. . . Dang it, gotta start up a new game again. . .

I really hope in the season 2 of fallout they bring Elijah back in ghoulified form saved from the vault and Hank Maclean recruits him to rule the mohave with the technology recovered from the Sierra Madre.

I used a modded companion with me, it was a protectron, was the only company in the whole dlc besides the other characters, i got to the vault and fast as i can i loaded all the gold into the robot and we scape toghether, love protectrons ❤️

Depression.

It's sad as brilliant as his character is, you don't have a means of letting him live without him doing evil

I really, really hope this ending ties into the show in season 2

No way I was let old Eli live on my play through. House said Terminate the Brotherhood of Steel. Royce and Eli were the last 2 Liabilities on that list.

Wish there was a way to reason with Elijah and take him back to the Mojave

First time I played this I was able to get all the gold, trap him, and escape. Never knew there was this afterwards.

If you side with the Legion, you can get a unique game ending where Elijah and you can work together to spread the cloud on the NCR

“You said you wanted to get into the vault. You didn’t mention anything about leaving!”

"it's about letting go" me with my 37 gold bars: ~~yea letting go of my poverty~~~

I was able to do this and the damn thing glitched so I don’t have his final message. It just plays the earlier recording of him talking to himself.

Elijah really needs to learn to let go

Zach from Mikeburnfire: *snickers*

Lol, i went to the big MT before and sold his little toys to the sink concierge.

It be cool to see what would happen if u could let him out

“I didn’t come to the Sierra Madre because I wanted treasure. I didn’t take the gold because of my greed. I came to this wretched place out of intrigue and took the vault’s contents out of principle. Now you have what you want Elijah. Now tell me: was it worth it?”

Good ridens father elijah thats for using me and making me go throught teying to steal all gold bars 100 times

Elijah: “What did I ever do to deserve this?!” Courier Six: “Well, let's see **opens notebook** : You kidnapped and forced people to go through a hellish, toxic death trap, you ruined both Veronica and Christine's lives by forcing them apart, oh, and you planned to wipe out all life in the Mojave with a toxic cloud.” Elijah: “…B-but what if I teach you how to use those collars?”
