I’ve completed most of the quests related to Captain, Mother Jago, Joyce Tarner, and Dr. Garrow. However, I messed up the button sequence in Dr. Garrow’s quest, making that path unplayable. For others, I’ve done everything they asked, so all options seemed available. But when attempting Dr. Holder’s ending, after dealing with Oberon as he requested, his path disappears. I’ve read tutorials saying that any approach other than poisoning Oberon causes Holder’s path to vanish. I followed his instructions exactly, so I’m unsure if this is a bug or if my other choices conflict with his path. If it is a conflict, why was the path ever shown as doable?

If you’re talking about the actual route through the Interchange to reach Holder below Medical: after Oberon dies, Medical completely gets wrecked, so you can’t go through the usual path. Instead, try heading toward Slatten Dale’s entrance — either exit Interchange and enter there or go through the Slatten Dale entrance directly in the Interchange. Watch out for a fight between Protocol and Outlaws near the site office. Ignore it and look for a fenced area across from the site office that leads down into tunnels under Medical. From there, finding Holder should be straightforward to complete his ending.
I ran into this too. It feels like a bug where Holder doesn’t broadcast his announcement over the PA system, so you might think his path disappeared. But he’s still alive in the medical tunnels — just look for him there and you can finish his ending without issues.
You have to poison Oberon to trigger Dr. Holder’s ending. Also, Dr. Garrow and Oberon need to confront each other in the control room, ending with Garrow’s death. That sequence is key to unlocking Holder’s path.
I actually did that — Oberon killed Garrow and I poisoned Oberon each time I tried. Still, Holder’s lead disappears and suddenly Captain Sims’ lead mainlines, even when I didn’t go the bomb-planting route with him. No audio call from Holder either. I’ve gone so far as to head to the village to kill Captain before poisoning Oberon, but Holder’s path just vanishes. I’m convinced it’s a bug at this point.
