There May Be Some Side Effects...

Template:Infobox quest

There May Be Some Side Effects... continues your mission to fix the problem at Jakobs Cove. Dr. Ned wants you to head to Generally Hospital and recover the antidote he was working on. Only one small problem, the key to get in was lost, so you will have to find another route.

Walkthrough

Find the secret entrance into Generally Hospital. Fight through the hordes of undead. Recover the sample. Make your way back to town.

Objective

Find the antidote sample for Dr. Ned.

• Spooky entrance found: 0/1
• Antidote recovered: 0/1

"Ned was testing a skag-based antidote to the zombie plague. The skags are immune to the illness, so Ned believes his antidote could be effective. Bring the antidote sample to the Claptrap in town so Ned can continue his research."

Strategy

1. Transition back to Jakobs Cove. Head south to the coastline to the gravestone which is now interactive.

2. Once you enter the zone follow the winding path through the graveyard to the hospital on top of the hill. You will be attacked by hordes of zombies along the way.

3. At the top you will notice an opening in the fence on your right. Go in the open and watch the cut-scene that lets you know life just took a turn for the worst. Get ready for a boss fight and a new opponent. The fight was fairly easy with a Maliwan Hellfire.

4. After you kill the boss, head up the hill to the hospital. The door is locked up tight, but right next to it is a Dahl dumpster with the antidote inside.

5. Return to Jakobs Cove and give the sample to the claptrap.

Completion

" Claptrap was hacked! Investigate the story about Dr. Ned."

• Prior to turning in the mission: When you return to town to turn in this mission you will find Jakobs Cove Claptrap tied up next to the bounty board. He immediately asks for your help. Before you can help he will talk in a different voice telling you not to trust the claptrap or Dr. Ned and directs you to take the boat tied up at the pier to a secret lab and use a special knock to get in the door.

:C: Oh thank goodness, get me the hell out of here! We have precious little time before ..:V: you'll want to hear this, Dr. Ned is not who you think he is and he is about as trustworthy as my dog I put down for being untrustworthy:C: whoaa whoaa whew where'd that come from, gotcha! Just kidding here, just kidding here. Feel free to forget everything I just said...

V: this is all true, but don't take my word for it look for yourself. Take the boat tied to the pier to the lab on the other side. with a door on the other side that will require a special knock. I like special knocks

C: ... WHOA! I'm possessed! ...

V: The knock sounds like this (series of knocks) Now go, and leave this robot for the skags.
