Introduction
Lonesome Road brings the Courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original "courier six", a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of the main storyline in Fallout: New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job - a job that leads you into the depths of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by frequent earthquakes and violent storms. This is the fabled location of the battle between the Courier and Ulysses. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.



Roadmap

Step 1: Receive the new signal and visit its location
Pretty much like every DLC before, after downloading the DLC and loading your game, you will recieve a signal carrying a quest with it. Simply set that quest as your main and follow it to uncover the new location.

Step 2: Get inside and recruit ED-E and find the Laser Detonator
As you follow the marker in your compass, eventually you will find a trapped ED-E which you have to set free to be able to continue your quest.

While doing this step you might want to keep an eye out for ED-E's upgrades which can be found inside some destroyed old robots (check the trophy guide).

You also want to keep an eye out for the Warheads that could be found scattered around the Divide.

Step 3: Complete the Story
The story progress is very straight forward, so just keep following the marker at the compass.

Step 4: Get any Remaining Trophies
In case you missed any trophies during the story, you will be able to get them during free roam afterwards.

Keep in mind that Warhead Hunter will be achievable easier after finishing the main story as there will be 2 warheads found in a new area that will be filled with radiation. By then you will have the Rad+50 mask which will make it easier, though.



Trophy Guide


Condemned to repeat it
Decided the fate of all the Divide dwellers.

Story related and cannot be missed.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

You will get this trophy after you launch the first rocket with ED-E's help.

Hometown Hero
Completed Lonesome Road.

Story related and cannot be missed.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

This trophy should unlock after beating Ulysses and stopping the rocket from launching - either by sacrificing ED-E in the process OR by using your speech ability to team up with Ulysses (both ways will earn you the trophy, so no worries here). A few tips regarding the Final Boss fight in case you decided to fight him: Ulysses will use a Stealthboy shortly after the fight starts, so keep a close eye on his movements. While Traveling, try to collect as many auto-stimpaks as you can, because many followers will assist Ulysses which will make gathering those stimpaks pretty much worth it. Ulysses also uses auto-stimpaks, so be sure to fire quickly OR keep firing until he eventually runs out of stimpaks and well... gets killed. Be very sure to search Ulysses's corpse BEFORE stopping the rocket from launching, as he has a unique mask which can give you Rad Resistance +50 (if you didn't, then no worries as you will find them inside a footlocker directly in front of you after the credits are finished ).

Rocket's Red Glare
Acquired all upgrades for the Divide's signature weapon.

The Divide's signature weapon is called Red Glare. During your exploration of the Divide, you will come across many enemies who will be using the Red Glare.

Simply kill one of them and get his weapon (it's a very large weapon that shoots rockets rapidly). After that, use one of upgrading machines (Commissary Terminal) that ED-E can activate for you, then go to Access Commissary and buy the only 3 upgrades required. They are:

1. Red Glare Auto-Launcher
2. Red Glare Far Sighting
3. Red Glare Alpha Strike

You only have to buy them for the trophy to pop. So if you don't find a Red Glare then don't worry, as the trophy only requires you to buy the upgrades.


ED-Ecated
Found all of ED-E's upgrades in the Divide.

*Missable*
Here you want to collect upgrades for ED-E that upgrade his functions and your perk as well.

Those upgrades are found inside destroyed robots (similar to ED-E); you have to examine them and get the upgrade part from them. They are all found inside Buildings/Sewers and not in the open, with the exception of one.

Their locations are:

1. Almost impossible to miss, it's inside the same building where you recruit ED-E.
   
2. At missile base HQ, under a desk in a room to the left.
   
3. At Ashlo Silo Station in a room at the first floor, behind a locked door (you need a 80 science skill to hack its terminal).
   
4. At the sewers found at Divide (after you blow the warhead blocking your way, turn left and start climbing the building and enter the sewers).
   
5. Near Abbadon's cave there will be a warhead in a broken building, destroy it and climb while heading left, you will find him in the ground (basically the only upgrade that could be found out in the open)

All these upgrades can be found before going to Abbadon's cave, so be sure to pick'em up before doing so.
Keep in mind that some upgrades won't be accessible after finishing the story.



Warhead Hunter
Detonated all of the warheads in the Divide.

There are 30 Warheads in Lonesome Road. You will destroy some of them to open a path to progress. The others require you to look for them.

However, bear in mind that all of them are found in the open areas at the Divide; none are found indoors (except for the 6 that you will find in the last boss area [the temple]).

They are easy to spot, but to keep track of what you've found, then it should go like this:

• The first open area you visit after getting out of the missile sile bunker contains 5 warheads [ Total 5 ]
  

• The second open area after getting out of the Tunnel contains 4 warheads [ Total 9 ]

• The third open area contains another 5 which can be easily found [ Total 14 ]

• The last open area contains 8 warheads [ Total 22 ]
  Note: In this area there are 3 easily missed warheads. 2 are found inside the unique deathclaw cave behind the water fountain. 1 will be found stuck to a mountain and can easily be mistaken as a water pipe.

• The boss area contains 6 warheads and they are ALL in sight, nothing is hidden [ Total 28 ]

• The last 2 warheads can be found in The Courier's Mile, which can be found next to the Hopeville Missile Silo Bunker (you can access the Courier's Mile any time after you shoot off the missile at Ashton) [ Total 30 ]
  
  Note: This area has A LOT of radiation and it builds up VERY fast, so be sure to have lots of rad-x and radway. Also, if you looted Ulysses or opened the footlocker after beating the main quest, then use the mask found there as it will give you 50+ Rad Resistance.

Thanks to amnesia for giving extra info about the new area.

Keep in mind also that this area has many radiated Deathclaws and Hunters, so I recommend getting there after finishing the main quest because you will get the Rad+50 mask which will be very helpful.

I've seen a YouTube playthrough (yes, I was impatient with PSN being down last night) where the finale of this DLC did not involve having to fight Ulysses, but instead you teamed up with him to fight off a few waves of enemies.

It probably has something to do with the final conversation... I assume it has different outcomes?

Guide looking good, though I recommend doing a spell check. Quite a few errors.
