    I can't find any explanation for how to actually kill Arthur beyond the dialogue options that come from speaking with him, which isn't really "killing" so much as lobotomizing him. How do you actually blow him up, genuinely destroy him? I haven't found a way. I thought going into the engine room would do it, but I can't find anything to overload or blow up or the like. Can anyone help me? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

      I know this is post is 3 years old, but I have the same question and I have found no answers so far.

      I'm roleplaying a Legion character who wants to destroy Hypatia, but I'm given no prompt or obvious hints on how to overload the engine room. At first, I figured that actually discussing the topic with Edgard would trigger the prompt but no. I've even attempted blowing up C4 and frag grenades in the engine room but nothing happens. Am I missing another trigger? Is there a specific place in the room where I have to place explosives and I just missed it? Any help would be appreciated.

      I think the only reason to enter the Engine Room is to bluff Arthur later on if you've entered the Armory as well.
      Actually blowing up the Bunker while you're still inside and the Door is locked seems like a terrible Idea to be honest.
