How to Navigate to the Carnival of Doom Quest in Once Human

Before diving into the navigation, let's review the quest details:

Quest Name: Carnival of Doom
Quest Type: World Task
Recommended Level: 10
Location: Junkyard in Broken Delta, southwest of Meyer’s Market
Objective: Defeat Chuckles in a rigged game of Russian Roulette

The Carnival of Doom quest officially recommends a level of 10, but skilled players can tackle it at lower levels. To start, head to the Junkyard Point of Interest (POI) southwest of Meyer’s Market. Be prepared to face Rosetta soldiers; ensure your weapons are fully upgraded to handle them efficiently without sustaining too much damage.

Once you initiate the quest, you'll enter a surreal, toy-like dimension controlled by Chuckles. Your main goal is to defeat him in a game of Russian Roulette, which is rigged in his favor. To outsmart him, follow these steps:

  1. Avoid Immediate Engagement: Don't rush into the game with Chuckles; immediate engagement will lead to failure due to the rigged setup.
  2. Activate Spacetime Vision: Press 'Q' to use your Spacetime Vision, which will reveal a cable connected to the roulette table leading to a hidden area.
  3. Trace the Cable: Follow the illuminated cable to a wall, where you'll find another figure resembling Chuckles manipulating the game.
  4. Request a Break: Return to Chuckles and choose the dialogue option to take a break. This will unlock a door, allowing access to the area behind the wall.
  5. Confront the Deceptive Clown: Go through the unlocked door to the room where the second Chuckles is operating the cheating mechanism. Since firearms are disabled here, equip a melee weapon and approach stealthily to eliminate him.
  6. Disable the Cheating Device: After neutralizing the second Chuckles, interact with the Roulette Cheating Device to deactivate it, ensuring a fair game.
  7. Challenge Chuckles Again: Return to the main area and accept Chuckles' challenge once more. This time, choose to pull the trigger yourself. With the cheating mechanism disabled, the game will be in your favor, leading to Chuckles' defeat.
