Hidden in the back of the Village Hall, Captain Sims keeps a special Protocol Documents Chest under lock and key. Thischest contains some useful items, but to get the Protocol Documents Chest Key,Atomfallplayers must either take Protocol on directly, or play “silly buggers” and sneak their way to its location.
The Protocol Documents Chest key is located within the idyllic, but dangerous, Wyndham Village, just down the road from the Village Hall (where the Protocol Documents Chest itself is located). But it’s not easy to get the Protocol Documents Chest Key, no matter which of the twomethods you choose to follow.
How To Get The Protocol Documents Chest Key
So Close, And Yet, So Far
The Protocol Documents Chest Key location inAtomfallisatop the eastern watchtower in the middle of the village, heavily guarded by armored Protocol soldiers and fully visible to all surrounding soldiers in the area.
Head toward the watchtower in the northeast side of Wyndham Village,just northeast of the Grendel’s Head puband just west of the eastern river – but don’t go beyond the heavily guarded fences or you willalmost immediately become hostile with the nearby troops.Instead, loop around to the north side of this building to find a shed with a spotyou can climb throughto avoid being seen.
Enter the shed,then make a save. You will need to quicksave or reload a previous save if you mess up and get killed, and this saves a lot of time.Look under the door of the shed, and you will likely see a group of Protocol soldiers patrolling the area. You have two options here:
Either way, youhave to be fast to avoid attracting attention.Climb up the ladder to the rooftop of this Protocol compound, and you will see a lone watchtower soldier. Either kill or run past this soldier to find achest at the very topof the rooftop. TheProtocol Document Chest key is located on top of the compound within this crate.
Once you acquire the key,don’t take the ladder down. Instead,slide down the roof heading east to quickly get out of the zoneand spend as little time trespassing as possible. You will take a little bit of damage upon landing, but if you sprint toward the river, you shouldn’t become hostile to any patrolling soldiers (unless you killed the guard up top).
Youcan also get the Protocol Documents Chest Key by killing Captain Sims. Walk up behind him, perform a takedown, and kill the Protocol soldiers in the Village Hall to save some time (but you will lock yourself out of the Captain Sims ending).
