Outer Worlds – The Frightened Engineer Guide

Outer Worlds - The Frightened Engineer Guide
Thomas asks you to find three Guide To Mechanical Engineering books in this side quest. This Outer Worlds – The Frightened Engineer Guide will tell you where to find each of the books, and how you can discover the clues to the whereabouts of each of the books locations.

This quest is from Thomas, who is at the Botanical Gardens next to the vending machine. Depending on your other actions so far, when you first obtain the quest, you may have 1 or 2 objective markers on the map, but there’s three books.

Guide To Mechanical Engineering Location #1

The first book can be found in the Emerald Vale Community Center. It’s the one already marked on your map so head over there, follow the objective marker, and grab the book.

Guide To Mechanical Engineering Location #2

Where To Find The Third Book
For the second book, head into Edgewater. You want to visit Parvati’s house at this location. Go upstairs, into her old fathers room. Check the computer terminal inside. It tells you that the second book is sitting inside the Cannery in an unused office. It’s upstairs in the Cannery, near the foreman. You can also get this clue by speaking with Parvati.

Guide To Mechanical Engineering Location #3

Frightened Engineer
You will find the final book inside the Geothermal Plant. Follow the path through the plant until you hear Higgins screaming in the silo section. Drop to the lowest level, you’ll find the book resting against a nearby wall.

And that’s where to find all of the Guide To Mechanical Engineering books. Make sure to check out our full side quest guide for tips on other quests!
