I could only find him using tcl in the console. He was on top of the arch, unreachable without cheats. Picture: https://gyazo.com/43db93c116d372a3d089605cdfc3df53
Had night vision turned on and the ranger helmet blocks vision at the bottom and the edges/corners of the screen if you were wondering.
So is he supposed to be there or is it a bug?
THanks in advance, have a nice day
thanks for posting these informations, and so thoughtfully marked and hidden as spoilers for those who want to explore the area themselves. :-)
I am one of those, and I liked the experience in the Visitors Center very much, but I had to resort to your article because I couldn't find the two keys. The one in the entrance hall is still a miracle to me, though I searched every inch of the room and the shelves. And how on earth do I get up to loot Alfie's corpse? Hopped around on the rocks for ages, and Veronica and ED-E were already exchanging glances... :-)
It would be great if you were willing to help me, please.
Thank you, have fun

The second key ...
If handy with console commands (which preclude further Steam achievements) ...
