FO1 The Glow: Stuck on Level 4 WITHOUT a red key...

oblisk

First time out of the vault
Hello,

I just got to the level 4 of The Glow in Fallout 1, where the mainframe supercomputer is and whatnot, but I do NOT have the red key! I found the blue key and the yellow key off the corpses, but I forgot to grab the red key from the previous level 3. And the elevator on level 4 REQUIRES me to have a red Key. When I try to lockpick/trap it, it says "Lock is jammed" I believe it means I cannot hack it anymore.

So, is a fellow man able to get out of this situation? (And no I havn't activated the primary power)

TIA.

edit: I'm also looking if there's an alternative way to fix this, an editor of some sort. The editors I've tried only has set item modifiers. Is there an editor that can just "place" a red key into your saved game inventory?

It means you have to wait until midnight before trying again. Of course, in the Glow that's not a good option. I suggest loading a previous save. If not for that, you should be able to get out the same way you got in.

Not for Fo1.

Do jammed locks loosen up at midnight?

Yes.

It may not be impossible to survive a massive radiation dose, if you wait until then. Check out my guide for details (link in sig).
 
Ah, I didn't know that. What I think I'll do is, use a FO1 editior to convert some of my items into Rad-X's, eat a few of them and wait till midnight.

Thanks for assist.
 
Couldn't you just wait an hour, take RadAway and repeat the process? Or is that still lethal?
