For Whom the Bridge Tolls in The Outer Worlds 2 Quest Guide
To get to the Vox Relay Station in The Outer Worlds 2, the obvious route to the northern part of the island where it’s located is blocked by a retracted bridge. The southern entrance to the Bridge of the Reverent is guarded by the Protectorate, but you have the chance to hand over two traitors in their ranks in exchange for access. However, if your Speech skill isn’t high enough, you might have a tough decision to make: here’s how to complete For Whom the Bridge Tolls in The Outer Worlds 2.

This guide will be your best companion on your journey through Arcadia.
Where to Find the Protectorate Traitors in The Outer Worlds 2
You start For Whom the Bridge Tolls by approaching Senior Warden Weintraut at the bridge’s southern entrance, but make sure you keep your eyes peeled on the ground if you go off-road: the area is heavily mined. When you talk to her, she gives you the option to hand over two Protectorate traitors, Ida Rutledge and her cousin, Charlton Weintraut.
How to Find Ida Rutledge in The Outer Worlds 2
To reach Ida, you need to head to Spire Grove. To get there, you can either fix the elevator up the mountain with Engineering 3 or circle around the mountain to find a route on which you can jump. For the latter, follow the mountain (as you’re looking at the elevator) to the right all the way round to the other side and jump the rocks. The best place to do this is between Spire Grove and the Crabbing Tower on the island’s west coast.
When you get to the marked location, you’ll see a man jumping to their death from a great height. Loot his body for the P.A.L.E boots that let you double jump before investigating the conveyor belt and picking up her Grisly Severed Arm. This is proof enough for the Senior Warden that one of her traitors has already met their end.
How to Find Charlton Weintraut in The Outer Worlds 2
Charlton can be found in Westport (or possibly Fairfield, depending on how you progressed the Brain Benders of Auntie’s Choice quest), but first head to his Westport home.
When inside, investigate his terminal for evidence of his love of Auntie’s Choice merchandise, then confront him with what you’ve discovered. You’ll need Speech 3 to send him to the bridge, though: sadly, the incriminating smear of Purpleberry Krunch around his lips isn’t enough on its own.
Once done, return to the Senior Warden to finish the quest and gain access to the northern section of Paradise Island.
