======================================
II. INTRODUCTION
======================================
I haven't made a FAQ in quite a while, but vast fun I have had playing
Fallout 3 plus the fact is has tons of quests, locations, and things to do
made me decide to make a complete walkthrough of the game, from beginning to
end. And to enjoy everything that you can get out of it.
Fallout 3 is the 3rd game of the Fallout series. The first 2 were major hits
and cult classics, with incredible plot and substance to satisfy the RPG
gamer in everyone. Fallout 3 was changed a little. It is now a first person
shooter, where as the previous 2 were top down turn based combat games.
Because Fallout 3 is a first person shooter, many things were changed in the
game that wouldn't work in a non-turn based game. Many good things were left
out because of this, but the overall fun is still there, making for a fun game
with a huge world to explore.
Things to note. The game is a first person SHOOTER. This means that combat
is a lot harder than with a turn based game, because you actually have to aim
and attack things manually instead of a system where your stats affect how
good you hit. There is an adjusted V.A.T. combat system that helps with the
popular aiming that Fallout 1 and 2 had. Sadly they didn't extend this to all
weapons, so guns are the only weapons you can aim at body parts. That doesn't
make the other weapons any less fun, just not as beneficial as guns.
There are also FAQS which explain the combat system, stats, perks, and other
things. I won't go over those here. I will simply tell you what to pick and
what to do. Saves a lot of reading.
Some things to remember
1) Always heal by resting if possible. 1 hours rest in a bed will heal all
your wounds. Save your healing Stims for emergencies.
2) Early on use melee weapons and save ammo. Save the ammo for the harder
foes. Most weaker enemies can be beaten with melee weapons easy.
3) Save often. Fallout 3 has a lot of glitches, such as getting stuck in
objects, lockups, etc. Save often. I'll try and tell you when.
4) Do not use any books until level 5 when you get the Comprehension perk.
This doubles all book raises from 1 point to 2. Well worth it.
======================================
III. PROLOGUE
======================================
You start the game by watching the Intro.
1) New baby. You are born, and choose your sex, name and appearance. Pick a
appearance you like, you will see your face often during VATS fighting.
Fast forward a year.
2) BABY STEPS (Quest). Follow your Dad's instructions. Walk towards him.
Next open the gate when he leaves and look at your special book. You will
choose your stats for the Prologue. Make your strength 10, luck 10, and
perception 1. Average the rest out evenly for best melee ability without
worrying about dying. Follow Dad out of the room. Fast Forward to age 10.
You arrive at your 10th birthday party and get your Pipboy.
3) GROWING UP FAST (Quest). Talk to Amata in front of you and get the
[GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] do not use this yet. Talk to Old Lady Palmer and
get the [SWEETROLL]. Talk to Stanley and get the [KID'S BASEBALL CAP].
Butch will eventually come to start a fight. just dodge him and soon the
fight will be broken up. Talk to your dad to continue.
4) Once he opens the door enter the hallway and run into Beatrice who will
give you a poem. Before going downstairs, head upstairs to where Officer
Kendell is. Get behind him and crouch. Save game. Pick his pocket (reload
if you fail) until you get his [2 STIMPAKS]. Wait for the Overseer to
come up stairs and listen to his conversation. Bastard. Now go all the
way downstairs to the left to the reactor room and talk to Jonas. Dad
will enter and give you a [BB GUN] and [BB AMMOx50]. Follow him through
the door to the test range. Shoot all 3 targets then shoot and kill the
Radroach that enters. Hit R2 to enter V.A.T.S Mode to aim. Stand for the
picture to be taken. Fast forward 6 years to age 16.
5) FUTURE IMPACT (Quest). When done take the [MEDICINE BOBBLE-HEAD] that is
on the table, this increases your Medicine skill +10. Enter the next
room and take the [STIMPAK] that is on the doctor tray cart. Go out into
the hallway where Amata is being harassed. Talk to Wally Mack and trick
him into being angry with Butch. They will leave. Go in and talk to the
teacher. Ask to skip the test and you can just pick your skills. TAG
melee weapons, repair, and small guns for the Prologue. Leave the room.
Fast forward 3 years to age 19.
6) ESCAPE (Quest). You are woken up the Vault is in turmoil. Time to fight
and Escape!. Amata gives you some picks and [10MM PISTOL]. Open your
dresser and take your items. Go to the Desk and take your BB gun, ammo,
and the [BASEBALL BAT]. Open the first aid kit on the wall and take the
items. Enter inventory and equipt your bat and hat/suit. Ready your bat
and save the game.
Run out into the hallway and to the right and run towards Kendell. Attack
and kill him. Then kill the roaches. Use V.A.T.S if you want. Search
Kendell and take his items. Equip his security helm/armor. Save again.
Continue down hallway and Butch will come out asking for help for his
mother. Follow him, quickly run into the next room where his mom is under
attack from 3 roaches. Kill them before they kill her. If they do, reload
and try again. Search roaches and take the [VODKA] bottles on the floor.
Butch will thank you and give you his [TUNNEL SNAKE OUTFIT]. If you are
hurt head to the bathroom and drink or use them to heal. Save the Stims.
Continue to the lunchroom and kill the 3 roaches there. Search body. Run
upstairs and kill roaches fighting Officer Gomez. Enter shop with Andy
and take [2 STIMPAKS] by the fallen cart. Continue down the hall and
enter the room you will see 2 people talking. Save game. Follow the one
guy down the hallway you will encounter 2 guards. Kill them fast they
have guns. Make use of V.A.T.S. Take their stuff, continue upstairs and
kill some more radroaches. You'll fight Security Chief Hannon. Take
his stuff and enter room with dead mechanic on the floor. Search him and
toolbox and take items. Save. Continue and enter room where Amata is
being interrogated. The guard will attack. Kill him. If the Overseer
attacks for some reason reload. Talk to the Overseer and threaten Amata
to get his password and key. Search all lockers/desks in the 2 rooms and
take the items.
Continue to next research area, drink from water fountain to heal if

all the items. Head to the room on the left and talk to Amata. Enter the
back room and search the dresser and take items. Enter room next door and
take items. Time to enter the Overseer door. Search the next room and
take all items, then use the computer terminal to open the Secret tunnel.
Go in and you'll get to the vault entrance. Note the locked door on the
right. Activate the keypad and the door opens. Amata comes to talk to you
but get ready, the locked door opens and 2 more guards come out. Kill
them and take their stuff. Enter the door they came through and go into
the north room for more stuff. Run back through the Vault and you'll find
more Radroaches to kill. Head back to the vault door room.
Enter your inventory and repair any items you can combine in order to
save space and make your items better. Now this is going to be your
permanent save game, so that way if you replay you don't have to do the
prelogue again. Go ahead and save, then head to the vault exit. You will
be able now to redo everything and pick your stats/skills to what you
want.
You should have
Vault Lab uniform (+5 science)

so get ready. Grab all your FRAG MINES, and if you want, big weapons.
We will have good target practice on them. Missile launchers, Mini guns.
Or your weapon of choice. But definitely Mines. If you have any Bottlecap
mines bring those for the sewers. When ready make sure its daylight and
head back to VAULT 92 and go east towards OLD OLNEY.
======================================
50. OLD OLNEY
======================================
) All right.. DEATHCLAWS! Time to kill some giant lizards! Deathclaws are
very fast, their attacks ignore armor, and are tough to kill. The easiest
way is to simply lay a line of mines a little apart and just let them
run through the mines crippling their legs. Then kill away. Good time to
use big guns at the crippled DEATHCLAWS. Go through the streets of OLD
OLNEY and kill them, there is about 7. There is minor loot on some bodies
about town. There are 2 entrances to OLNEY SEWERS.
) Enter the sewers. More Deathclaws about. Bunch of loot about including
[FAT MAN], [MISSILE LAUNCHER], [DUCK AND COVER], [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM],
and [PROTOTYPE POWER MEDIC ARMOR]. Behind a level 100 locked door is a
[MINI NUKE] but you can't pick that yet.
) There is a PROTECTRON in a room but its useless against Deathclaws. Go
ahead and activate it, and just kill it for its loot.
) Leave the sewers and head east out of the city. You'll see a pond where
some Mirelurks will pop up. Kill them and loot their eggsacks. Head south
and you'll see a red rocket and a broken down orange trailer truck. Loot
the trailer for 5 (maybe 1 in machine) [NUKA-COLA QUANTUMS]. If you run
into an encounter with some people fighting a DEATHCLAW, let the Deathclaw
kill them (they will loot your quantums if they win). A mailbox just
North of the truck holds a [DUCK AND COVER].

find a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] in the silo and [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] on
the 2nd floor of the barn.
*** Have some fun. Go up in the silo tower and wait till dark. Shoot one
of the cars down below and watch the fireworks. You can actually look
west to the orange truck you looted earlier and shoot the cab way over
there from here, and watch that explode also. I shot it with a 10MM. ***
) Keep going east towards the electrical towers and you'll find a little
building, the MDPL-16 POWER STATION.
======================================

him you are a representative of the wastelands. You can then talk to him
about a few things (100% SPEECH check) and and convince him to turn over
his KEY. Learn what you can and ask about the election and if you can
help.
) Save. This quest is a bit buggy. Talk to each of the 4 voters one at a
time, making sure they go to vote, and leave the voting box (don't get
stuck). You can talk to ROSIE and BOB and SPEECH check them into running
for president themselves. Also talk to JESSIE and SHAWNA. Once all 4 of
them have voted, talk to DAVE. He will leave to check the vote. When he
leaves, you are free to loot the [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] bottle on the safe,
and the [OL'PAINLESS] Rifle in the safe.
) Leave and enter the "MUSEUM' building. Take the [PERCEPTION BOBBLE-HEAD]
and any other items you wish. Fast travel to CHASTE ACRES DAIRY FARM
and head south towards the broadcast tower you can see. Half way there
on the right side are some car husks and small radioactive pools. In the
car shed is a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] and some ammo boxes. Continue south

*** There are a bunch of cars on the road outside the diner. Try and get
all 4 of the blue cars burning and watch the fun ***

RECIPE]. Now you want to head Due south towards the TEMPLE OF THE UNION
which is already on your map.
======================================
56. TEMPLE OF THE UNION
======================================
) Entering this small area you'll be challenged and let into the Temple.
Head upstairs and talk to HANNIBAL HAMILTON to start the HEAD OF STATE
quest. Talk to CALEB SMITH and he will request you get a picture of the
LINCOLN MEMORIAL from the MUSEUM OF HISTORY.
) First Fast travel to the MUSEUM OF HISTORY and head to the offices then
to the second floor where the picture is hanging over a desk. Now exit
the MUSEUM and go right (west). Head towards the LINCOLN MEMORIAL, you
will register MALL NORTHWEST on the way. Continue to the MEMORIAL. At the
steps SILAS will talk to you. Head back out of combat range and go back
to the TEMPLE OF THE UNION and talk to CALEB.
) Save your game. Sometimes the rest of the quest gets bugged.
) Talk to HANNIBAL. Now wait 1 hour to make sure the group starts moving
out. Fast travel to the MALL NORTHWEST. Wait about 24 hours and the group
should appear. HANNIBAL will talk to you again about assaulting the
slavers, but tell him to wait while you take care of it.
) Now go kill the slavers at the MEMORIAL, use good cover. Loot everything.
There are many trip wires and mines on the path around the MEMORIAL, go
around and disarm/pick up everything. Now report back to HANNIBAL and he
will thank you with a [DART GUN SCHEMATIC]. At the soonest opportunity
make yourself a DART GUN which is a awesome weapon you should keep on you
all the time, useful to cripple legs of tough opponents.
) You will level up soon to level 18. Raise Melee weapons to 57 and pick
the CONCENTRATED FIRE perk. Fast travel to MEGATON and unload/sell. Pick
up all the LINCOLN ARTIFACTS you have stored in your home and return to

your speech boosting clothes on) in this order...
LINCOLN'S DIARY, CIVIL WAR DRAFT POSTER, JOHN WILKES BOOTH WANTED POSTER,
LINCOLN'S VOICE, LINCOLN'S COIN COLLECTION, and ACTION ABE ACTION FIGURE.
Do not sell the LINCOLN HAT or REPEATER, they are nice items for you to
use. Sell the rest. Through the small door near the MEMORIAL steps is
the OPERATIONS OFFICE where a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] is located.

will find a [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN].
) Leave town and head NE, you will see a yellow army truck and some sort of
airplane/bus structure. Climb that and find a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR]
along with some misc loot in the truck.
) Head west to the overpass and follow under it west until you come to a
ruined truck trailer in the road. Inside is a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM]. Turn
about and head NE following the overpass. You will hit a road so follow
this east and it will swing around towards a billboard. Look NE and you
will see a watertower in the distance. You want to head there. There is
probably an ENCLAVE outpost at the watertower, some spybots, and a
Deathclaw in the area. Kill them all.
) Enter the Car dealership near the watertower, you'll find a [US ARMY
FLAMETHROWER RECIPE] on a platform you have to jump up to on the left.
) Exit the car dealership and head west into FAIRFAX RUINS.
======================================
97. FAIRFAX RUINS
======================================
) A bunch of Raiders have made this ruined town their home. The Ruins are
in 3 areas. The street level, the UTILITY TUNNELS, and the FAIRFAX METRO
STATION. There not much in the areas except Raiders and traps, but there
is a [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] in the FAIRFAX METRO STATION area on
some rubble by an escalator.
) Once finished, head west out of the city and you'll run into the OUTCAST
base, FORT INDEPENDENCE.
======================================
98. FORT INDEPENDENCE
======================================
) This is the OUTCAST BROTHERHOOD base. The Outcasts are basically neutral,
so you can either trade with them to enter, or just wipe them out. Its
easier to just wipe them out. If you want to trade simply sell your alien
blaster and steal it back. You'll need to do this 5 times, but you'll
gain access.
) Wether you get in peacefully or fight your way in, the Fort is a nice
place for loot. Inside is [MISS LAUNCHER] a weird missile launcher. It
lobs missiles, has half the range, but does 30% more damage. Takes getting
used to, but really a short range missile launcher? Kinda dangerous. Some
other items are a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] and maybe some [ALIEN POWER CELLS]
and [MINI NUKES].
) From FORT INDEPENDENCE you want to head SouthWest up the big rocky hill,
near the top you'll see a piece of an overpass in the distance. There is
an ENCLAVE outpost here, with a couple troopers/leaders and a deathclaw
in a cage. Also mines, so watch out. Clear out and loot.

theater screen. Your approaching THE OVERLOOK DRIVE-IN.
======================================
99. THE OVERLOOK DRIVE-IN

easy way to take care of them. Since the drive-in is filled with cars..
BOOM! Approach while hidden, and once the Raiders appear in the area shoot
one of the blue cars until it blows up.. presto.. all dead raiders. (and
a spectacular explosion with flying body parts/car parts).
) Some mines line the road you can pick up. When done looting look to the
northwest and in the far distance you can see TENPENNY TOWER. Head towards
it and you'll go down a little path next to the rocks. About half way down
you will discover the entrance to CLIFFSIDE CAVERN.
======================================
100. CLIFFSIDE CAVERN
======================================
) This is a complex tunnel cave filled with Raiders, and in the back a YAO
GUAI CAVE. Also a lot of traps have been laid out by the Raiders. Mines,
tripwires, etc. Kill the raiders and loot the area. You can find a [NUKA-
COLA QUANTUM] near the south exit, [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] on a upper
platform, [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] in the northwest bookshelf, and
a [MINI NUKE] in the northwest.
) The YAO GUAI CAVE area holds of course some YAO GUAI. you can also find
a [SCHEMATIC NUKA-GRENADE] in the farthest west chamber. Exit the Cavern
and continue northwest towards the big TENPENNY TOWER. As you are walking
you will see a large warehouse of some time to the right of TENPENNY TOWER
so you want to head to the warehouse first, the ROBCO FACTORY.
======================================
101. ROBCO FACTORY
======================================
) The Factory holds a bunch of radscorpions and molerats. A bunch of
inactive PROTECTRONS litter the area. There are 2 areas, the FACTORY FLOOR
where you enter and the OFFICE/CAFETERIA area. You want to progress to the
2nd floor of the OFFICE/CAFETERIA area to reach the mainframe computer.
There you can insert the mainframe processor widget given to you by MOIRA.
This will activate all the inert PROTECTRONS making you fight them on the
way out. Access all functions on the mainframe to complete your optional
WASTELAND SURVIVAL test. You can also make the PROTECTRONS fight each
other.
) There are some skillbooks in the areas. In the FACTORY FLOOR area you can
find a [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE] and a [LYING CONGRESSIONAL STYLE]. In the
OFFICE/CAFETERIA area are a [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] and a [NIKOLA TESLA
AND YOU].
) Leave the Factory and head north, you will see some power lines. Follow
them west and you'll quickly see a little fenced in area with a truck
trailer. This is VAPL-84 POWER STATION.

GROCER to get a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR].
) Head back outside and south again to a ruined 2 story building where a
[TUMBLERS TODAY] is.
) Head towards TENPENNY TOWER and approach the front gate where you will
view a encounter with ROY PHILLIPS talking to the tower intercom. Once he
is done, head west to the first ruined house west of TENPENNY TOWER.

yourself a 50 % discount in the bar. Make sure you aren't seen.
) Buy a [DART GUN SCHEMATIC] in the Boutique le chiq.
) Talk to HERBERT DASHWOOD a while and learn about the ghouls and be
compassionate about the ghouls. He will talk about his servant ARGYLE.
Let him know that you found ARGYLE dead, and he will give you the key to
his safe upstairs, which olds a [BOTTLECAP MINE SCHEMATIC].
) Find a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR] in the Tenpenny suites. Also a [LYING
CONGRESSIONAL STYLE] in MR. TENPENNYS apartment on the top floor.
) Finish up with TENPENNY TOWER and exit, heading southwest. You'll head
down towards a couple buildings in the background, and you'll find the
WARRINGTON STATION. Keep going southwest for now to LUCKYS. Inside LUCKYS
you'll find a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] and a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM].
) Now exit and head Northwest and you will run into a small trainyard with
some ghouls about, the WARRINGTON TRAINYARD.
======================================

======================================
) This trainyard will take you into the tunnels to the ghoul base. Clear it
and loot what you can. Go ahead and head into the WARRINGTON TUNNELS.
======================================
105. WARRINGTON TUNNELS
======================================
) The tunnels connect the WARRINGTON TRAINYARD with your destination. Kill
any foes in your path and head northeast to WARRINGTON STATION.
======================================
106. WARRINGTON STATION
======================================
) The Ghoul base. It has exits south to the topside WARRINGTON STATION and
east to the METRO ACCESS AND GENERATOR connector. Ignore the METRO ACCESS
nothing is in those tunnels.
) You will meet MICHAEL MASTERS who is guarding the tunnel entrance. Just
kill everything inside (for some reason you will lose karma, no biggie).
Freely loot the area for some items. [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] and a [NUKA-
COLA QUANTUM] in the sleeping area, a [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE] near the
METRO ACCESS exit, and a [DEANS ELECTRONICS] about half way between.
Once all the ghouls are dead you can collect your reward from CHIEF
GUSTAVO in TENPENNY TOWER should you go that way in the future.
) Exit the station and head west towards the edge of the map. You will go
over the hills and once over in the distance will see a huge building
all by itself. Head there to the DUNWICH BUILDING.
======================================
107. DUNWICH BUILDING
======================================
) This spooky building holds a bunch of ghouls. Its also very dark. There
are a bunch of HOLOTAPES about talking about a named ghoul JAIME who is
on the bottom levels.
) Progress through the DUNWICH BUILDING where you can find a [NUKA-COLA
QUANTUM], then into the FORSAKEN DUNWICH RUINS area where you can get a
[DEANS ELECTRONICS], and finally into the VIRULENT UNDERCHAMBERS where the
[MELEE WEAPONS BOBBLE-HEAD] is on the floor just in front of the doorway
back to the DUNWICH BUILDING area.
) Leave the building and head north through the rocky hills. You will come
to a old abandoned picnic site F. SCOTT KEY TRAIL AND CAMPGROUND.

out on the other side, you'll see 3 power line towers to your left a
little. Head there and you'll find a fenced in area with a small building
which is the VAPL-66 POWER STATION
======================================
109. VAPL-66 POWER STATION
======================================
) This small building holds a [MINI NUKE] and a [DEANS ELECTRONICS]. Go
back outside and head north towards a red rocket structure. The road
also picks up here. The small building past the rocket is the JOCKO'S
POP AND GAS STOP.
======================================
110. JOCKO'S POP AND GAS STOP
======================================
) This old store holds some nice items. a [BOTTLECAP MINE SCHEMATIC], a
[NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] and a [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU].
) Now exit and head west, heading to the town of GIRDERSHADE which is already
on your map, under the overpass. When exiting JOCKO'S you might get
lucky and have a ENCLAVE chopper arrive and drop off some troops.
======================================
111. GIRDERSHADE
======================================
) Only 2 shacks in this "town" enter SIERRA'S house and talk to her. She
will offer you a tour and will give you the NUKA COLA CHALLENGE quest.
She wants you to bring her 30 [NUKA-COLA QUANTUMS].
) Exit her shack and RONALD will be waiting, wanting you to bring HIM the
NUKA-COLA QUANTUMS. With a speech check you can get double caps from him,
though you probably don't need caps at this point.
) Head back to MEGATON to heal/store/buy. Go to MOIRA in CRATERSIDE SUPPLY
and finish the ROBCO Wasteland quest, and receive a [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE],
now pick the last quest the LIBRARY. It will be marked on your map.
) Grab 30 NUKA COLA QUANTUMS from your house (you should have plenty by now)
and return to GIRDERSHADE. Give them to SIERRA and she will reward you
with about 1200 caps and a [NUKA GRENADE SCHEMATIC].
) Go to RONALD'S shack and talk to him about GRADY and you can pass a speech
check to get 300 caps for your item. Go ahead and kill RONALD and get it
back, along with his [KNEECAPPER] shotgun. Now fast travel over to the
NUKA-COLA FACTORY.
======================================
112. NUKA-COLA FACTORY
======================================
) Lots of little things to do here. You'll enter the FACTORY FLOOR. a
[CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] once you enter in a hole in the ceiling in
a filing cabinet. a [DEANS ELECTRONICS] in the cafeteria, [TUMBLERS TODAY]
past MILO under a safe. MILO the shipping foreman, kill him for his keys

======================================
) A 2 story hotel that a bunch of Raiders have taken up residence in. Clear
out the building and loot the area. a [DUCK AND COVER] is on the ground
floor south area, and a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] and [GUNS AND BULLETS] on the
second floor.
) Exit the building and fast travel to the NUKA-COLA FACTORY and head
north along the road. As you pass under the overpass, take a left and head
to the back of this building where a ENCLAVE outpost is set up. There are
4 ENCLAVE members here. Kill them, loot, and go north up the steps to
DOTS DINER. Inside is a [US ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE].
) Go southeast towards the overpass and go east along the road. It will
swing around north and you'll have a car parking lot on the left. Might
be a few Raiders about. Blow up the cars in the lot on the way north.
Keep going north to the top of the hill (past the car lot) and on the left

) The HAZMAT DISPOSAL SITE L5 tunnels are to the far northwest but you've
already been in those. Go ahead and fast travel to PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
SOUTH.
======================================
118. PENNSYLVANIA AVE
======================================
) This area is a large hub for metro stations, but there isnt' really a
whole lot to do here. There are some Super mutants in the area so take
them down. The metros in the area are..
1) PENN AVE/GEORGETOWN METRO to the southwest
2) PENN AVE/THE MALL METRO to the south
3) PENN AVE/SEWARD SQUARE METRO to the southeast

the exit to VERNON SQUARE is. Go ahead and exit.
======================================
120. VERNON SQUARE
======================================
) This DC area has a bunch of areas in it we want to hit. First once you
exit the FREEDOM STREET metro tunnels you will want to enter the first
building to the east, a run down 3 story building with some minor loot.
Proceeding through the back of this building you will find the LADY OF
HOPE HOSPITAL which we need to enter in order to save REILLY'S RANGERS.
======================================
121. LADY OF HOPE HOSPITAL
======================================
) The hospital is crawling with Super Mutants, traps, and lots of healing
items. Our goal is to reach the top where we will walk over a fallen
broadcast antenna over to the STATESMAN HOTEL. For now, carefully move
through the hospital eliminating any Super Mutants in the way. Traps in
the hospital consist of almost any type. Frag mines, trapped sinks, trip
wires and pressure plates.
) A [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] is on the first floor in the southeast area.
Another [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] is on the second floor on a table in the
cafeteria. Once you make your way to the top of the Hospital you can exit
onto a ledge and walk across the fallen broadcast antenna. Now enter
the STATESMAN HOTEL.
======================================
122. STATESMAN HOTEL
======================================
) You enter the Hotel across the broadcast antenna, and your goal is to
fight your way through the hotel and onto the roof, where REILLY'S RANGERS
are trapped. The hotel has alot of rooms, mostly empty, and alot of
hallways and Super Mutants about. There are 2 parts to the hotel, the
entry area where you enter via the antenna, and the street-level area
which you access after finding REILLY'S RANGERS. Make sure to pick up any
loot in the first area before reaching the roof.
) You can find a [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] and a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] in the
restaurant area. A [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] is near the entrance
to the restaurant area. On the way up to the roof you will find the body
of THEO, one of the Rangers who was trying to get ammo to his buddies.
A ammo container is near his body which you can access.
) On the way through the hotel you will find a broken PROTECTRON robot. Make
sure you take the battery out of it, you will need one to help the Rangers
off the roof.
) Once you eventually get to the roof, you will encounter the 3 Rangers who
are stuck. You can talk to them and have the option to give them the ammo
that you found with THEO, but don't do that. Just talk to them and they
will tell you to give the battery to DONOVAN who will fix the express
elevator. Wait until all 3 of them enter the elevator, then enter it also.
) Now listen carefully. This is a good time to get a unique weapon, and one
of the best light armor in the game. You and the 3 rangers will arrive
in the reception area (the street-level access area) at the bottom of the
elevator, where a group of Super Mutants will be waiting. You and the
Rangers have to kill them off and fight through them. You WANT the woman
BRICK to die in this battle. Either by the Super mutants or by your hand.
You can kill her during the firefight without any backlash. Just re-load
if she doesn't die.
) BRICK carries a set of [RANGER BATTLE ARMOR] which has great defense and
great special abilities. All the Rangers do, but you only need 1 set. She
also carries a unique mini-gun [EUGENE]. Make sure to get both these
items. Make sure at least one of the other Rangers survive, if not both.
Once the battle is over, they will tell you they are heading back to the
Ranger compound and will thank you for the help.
) Before you head out you can find a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR] on the
second level of the entranceway. Go ahead and exit the hotel and back into
VERNON SQUARE. Go north and you'll instantly run into a big crater with
a crashed DELTA rocket. At the bottom is a SEWER. Enter and inside are
a couple Super Mutants and a [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE].
) Exit the sewer and head north. Directly north of the crater is a small</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
alleyway behind a car. Don't go there yet, but remember it. Go northwest
and you'll see a SEWER ENTRANCE on your local map, its at the north end
of the northwest alley. There is some minor loot inside, plus a [DEANS
ELECTRONICS]. Exit the SEWER ENTRANCE and return to the small alleyway
that is north of the crater. Enter the alleyway to a Super Mutant outpost.
Kill them and loot. Keep going and you'll find the VAULT-TEC HEADQUARTERS.
======================================
123. VAULT-TEC HEADQUARTERS
======================================
) The HQ has been invaded by a couple Super Mutants, who might be in a fight
with the robotic security still left in the building.
) You enter in the GUEST RELATIONS area, not much here. Kill the foes and
loot what you want. The lower stairways are blocked. The left upper stairs
lead to the OFFICES, the right broken stair leads to the ADMIN area. You
can go up the broken stairs on the right and take off your armor/put away
weapon and you can jump up to that level. There is a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD
VENDOR] on the table. Enter the door to the ADMIN area.
) In the corporate OFFICE area, there is a well hidden [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE]
in the northeast room (has a big hole in the floor). Its on a shelf on the
other side of the hole, you have to walk on the ledge and look up, the
book is with some other ruined books. A [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] is in the room
next door on a shelf.
) In the ADMIN area there is a [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] in the west part.
There are 3 terminals you need to access to gain entrance to the MAINFRAME
terminals 1 and 2 are on the top level, and terminal 3 is down one set of
stairways in a lower level. This releases the MASTERBRAIN robot, which
you can just shoot.
*** There is a bug/quest bug that using all 3 terminals still won't open
the door to the Mainframe. If this happens, you need to go to the lower
level of the ADMIN area (past terminal 3) and into the bottom part of the
mainframe room. Then by unequipping your armor/putting away your weapon,
try jumping on one of the pipes in the wall, then up on top of one of the
computer frames. From there you can get close to the mainframe to use it.
At this point in the game you don't need to do this. ****
) Now exit the building and head back towards the SEWER. just to the north-
east of the SEWER is the VERNON EAST/TOKOMA PARK metro. Go ahead and
enter.
======================================
124. VERNON EAST/TAKOMA PARK METRO
======================================
) Near the entrance is a [LYING CONGRESSIONAL STYLE] in the ticket book, and
down stairs under the escalator is a small tunnel ending at a Super Mutant
hideout. A [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] is on a shelf. Careful, some traps are
about.
) Now head east down a very long and curvy tunnel system and eventually you
will reach the exit to TAKOMA PARK.

======================================
) Get the weapons out, Super Mutants don't like you <grin> Oh, did i mention
theres a Super Mutant BEHEMOTH about?
) You'll enter TAKOMA PARK at the west side of a long street. Careful, 3
Super Mutants are heading down the street, and the cars ahead of you are
going to blow up. Save time, blow up all the cars/bus's yourself and wait
in ambush for the Mutants.
) Enter the little store in front of you NIFTY THRIFTY'S for a unique, but
kinda worthless baseball cap. Exit and continue up the street east. On
the right is a orange tracter trailer rig, in the back is some loot. Up
the street to the northeast is a Super Mutant outpost. Now at the end
of the street is a ruined building on the left, you need to go through
that to an industrial area.
) You will go over a hill and see a factory in front of you. There might be
some Super mutants, maybe fighting TALON company mercs. Let them kill each
other. Finish off the rest.
) Before you enter TAKOMA INDUSTRIAL factory, head southwest to a gate and
open it. There are some tractor trailers on the right. HIDE and stealth
to the right, up the ramp on the furthest blue trailer. At the top in
front you will find a note and an artillery switch. Why? Because in the
car parking lot in front of you are some Super Mutants and a BEHEMOTH.
Repeated pushing of the button will drop artillery shells to clear out
the parking lot. Stay hidden and level the area. You can finish off the
BEHEMOTH normally if you get bored.
) Loot the Mutants and enter the small TAKOMA AUTO shop. There is an [US
ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE] inside. Exit and go back northeast and enter
TAKOMA INDUSTRIAL.
======================================
126. TAKOMA INDUSTRIAL
======================================
) Some Super Mutants inside, take them down. At the entrance door there is
a walkway that goes up to a observation area. Just on the other side is
a wooden walkway that you can jump down to get a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] that
is behind the generator in a box. a [LYING CONGRESSIONAL STYLE] is in the
other half of the warehouse.
) There is a radioactive pond and some ghouls behind TAKOMA INDUSTRIAL, but
there isn't really anything back there to get, so ignore it. Exit and
fast travel to the RANGER COMPOUND. Go inside and talk to REILLY. She will
give you a reward (pick the Ranger Battle Armor) and you can talk to her
to map out areas. Once you get her device, just talk to her again and she
will give you about 3800 caps for all the areas you have mapped.
) Now leave and fast travel to DUPONT STATION, one of the last areas in DC
that we have to explore.
======================================
127. DUPONT STATION/DUPONT CIRCLE
======================================
) A Raider area, they have made this circle into a base. There are many
Raiders in the circle, and in the outlying abandoned buildings and alley-
ways. They also have trapped their areas very well also. Take some time
and clear out the entire area of Raiders.
) Directly east from where you arrive at the DUPONT CIRCLE STATION, is a
alleyway that takes you to a little store LADY FRUMPERTON'S FASHIONS.
Inside is a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR] on top of her safe.
) On the east side is the entrance to the DRY SEWERS. Go ahead and go in,
you will fight some TALON mercs inside, and later on some Super Mutants.
a [DEANS ELECTRONICS] is on a shelf in a utility room. Clear the tunnels
and loot, and exit back into DUPONT CIRCLE.
) To the northeast over some rubble is the SUNKEN SEWER which you can enter
but it has high radiation so prepare. Inside you can find [US ARMY
FLAMETHROWER RECIPE] on top of a safe. Clear and loot and return to
DUPONT CIRCLE.
) Well, thats about it for Washington DC, you have cleared the entire
inner city of evil-doers. Time to finish up clearing the wasteland. Fast
travel to the CORVEGA FACTORY and head due south. Just as you reach the
buildings of DC, you will see a big sewer pipe. Enter to the ROCK CREEK
CAVERNS.
======================================
128. ROCK CREEK CAVERNS
======================================
) Really not much of note in here, except 1 [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] on a high
ledge about half way through the caverns. I wouldn't even waste my time
trying to get it. Go in and back out.
) Now, head east towards the big water tower. Follow the road east and you
will see a vehicle yard with about 4 army trucks inside. Turn right and
directly south is the entrance to the NATIONAL GUARD DEPOT. Go ahead and
kill the 2 PROTECTRONS outside, but don't go in, we aren't ready yet.
) Fast travel to KAELYN'S BED AND BREAKFAST (kill any raiders) and follow
the road to the west. You want to keep going west until you see some
power lines and towers. In the center is a small building, and to the left
you will see a billboard. Just behind the billboard is a shack with a
[NUKA-COLA QUANTUM]. Grab it then head to the small building, the VAPL-58
POWER STATION.
======================================
129. VAPL-58 POWER STATION
======================================
) Entering the power station you'll get a [DEANS ELECTRONICS] on the table,
and a [MINI NUKE] up on the above light, you'll have to jump or shoot it
down. Climb the disguised ladder on the east wall to the roof. On the mat
is a [US ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE]. CAREFUL! sometimes this book gets
glitched and disappears under the rug. If it disappears on you, just
re-load from your auto saved game and try again.
) Leave the Power Station and head north along the power line towers. The
3rd tower has a wooden enclosure, and loot. Along with a [MINI NUKE] there
is the 1ST KELLER FAMILY TRANSCRIPT HOLOTAPE. Make sure to get it.
) Now look to the northwest, you'll see a large ruined house. Head there.
Sometimes a random encounter will spawn at the house, like raiders. From
the house you want to head north/northwest to the small river. You'll see
across the river a little power complex. Head across to the MDPL MASS
RELAY STATION.
======================================
130. MDPL MASS RELAY STATION
======================================
) You'll probably run into a couple Raiders about. Kill them and enter the
Station. Inside are a few more Raiders, one guy named TORCHER. Kill them
and loot. You'll find a [GUNS AND BULLET] on the left wall, a [NUKA-COLA
QUANTUM] in the safe, and the [TORCHER'S MASK] on the TORCHER Raider.
) exit the Relay Station and go north over the big hill. Passing the ruins
of the metro railings, you'll see a few big buildings to the north. That
is your goal, the ROOSEVELT ACADEMY.
======================================
131. ROOSEVELT ACADEMY
======================================
) This large complex is a base for Super Mutants, they inhabit every
building, and a couple roam the grounds. Kill any that are wandering about
outside, then its time to enter the buildings and loot.
) The ROOSEVELT ACADEMY is 3 floors. I believe the [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED]
and the [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] are both on the ground floor.
) The ROOSEVELT ARTS AND ATHLETICS HALL holds a [TUMBLERS TODAY] on the top
floor.
) The LIBRARY has a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] on a desk.
) Connecting the 3 areas underground are the MAINTENANCE AND EVACUATION
TUNNELS. Clear them out and on a shelf is a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED].
) Exit the complex and head north, to an abandoned town. This is FADED POMP
ESTATES.
======================================
132. FADED POMP ESTATES
======================================
) Some misc loot scattered through the abandoned houses. One north house
with a big fireplace has a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] in front of the fire-
place.
) Contine north towards the big structure/broadcast towers up on the hill.
Right at the base of the rocks on your local map you will see the SEALED
CISTERN sewer. Enter and inside is the [EXPLOSIVES BOBBLE-HEAD].
) Exit the CISTERN and go up to the building, just register it on the map,
there isn't anything inside. Now, look to the southeast, you'll see a red
shack and a outdoor drive-in. Head to the red shack, there is a [GROGNAK
THE BARBARIAN] in the shack. Head to the drive-in to discover THE SILVER
LINING DRIVE-IN.
======================================
133. THE SILVER LINING DRIVE-IN
======================================
) Not much at the drive-in, but a ENCLAVE helicopter will drop down to the
hill to the east and drop off a few troops. Good time to blow them up.
) From the Drive-in head northeast (or north from the ENCLAVE hill) and you
will see a orange truck/trailer and a broken bridge. This is DROWNED
DEVIL'S CROSSING.
======================================
134. DROWNED DEVIL'S CROSSING
======================================
) Some Raiders have a little camp here, plus once in a while a couple Giant
Radscorpions might show up. In the back of the orange trailer is a
[TUMBLERS TODAY]. Now head directly north and you will come upon a
small shack camp of Super Mutants, MASON DIXON SALVAGE.
======================================
135. MASON DIXON SALVAGE
======================================
) This camp is fortified by Super Mutants. Its nice that it has limited
entrances, SNEAKING and dropping some mines does wonders. Kill the Mutants
and loot the area. There is a prisoner you can release also.
) In the east shack is a [TUMBLERS TODAY]. Sometimes it might be under the
bed too far to reach. A grenade might pop it out. In the west shack are
a [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] and [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU].
) Head north again. You'll come to a huge open area with some huge Con
Towers north. In the middle of the open area is a tent. Inside is a
[NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU] and a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM].
) Now its time to head north to the huge Con Towers, SATCOM ARRAY NN-O3D.
Head northwest to the left of the towers. Near the west base is a little
red shack, and inside is [SHISHKEBAB SCHEMATIC]. On the roof of the
shack is a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] that you'll have to shoot or jump to get.
Now head northeast to the SATCOM ARRAY.
======================================
136. SATCOM ARRAY NN-O3D
======================================
) This trio of towers make up NN-03D. They consist of towers A, B, and C.
There are also some Raiders both on the towers and inside. Kill and loot
everything.
) In tower C there is the only real good loot. a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] is
on a toilet, and on the very top dish tower there is a target dummy that
has 2 [MINI NUKES]. I wouldn't even bother with towers A and B.
) Head east from the towers down into the valley. You will see a little
building with the power line towers. This is the MDPL-21 POWER STATION.
======================================
137. MDPL-21 POWER STATION
======================================
) Not much here except a [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU] inside the station. Fast
travel back to the SATCOM ARRAY NN-O3D and this time head west/northwest
towards FORT CONSTANTINE, which is already on your map.
======================================
138. FORT CONSTANTINE
======================================
) There are 3 structures that compose this area. Near the entrance gates
is the CO QUARTERS HUT, and the larger building the PERSONNEL OFFICES.
Down the road up on a hill is the BOMB STORAGE BUILDING. For now, clear
any robots roaming the outside area and enter the small CO HUT.
) In the buildings are plenty of robots of all types. The CO'S HUT has a
underground passageway that leads up to the BOMB STORAGE building. Along
the way you can find [GUNS AND BULLETS] on a bed, [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] in
a broken fridge in the kitchen, [BIG GUNS BOBBLE-HEAD] in the basement
along with a [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL]
) Following the underground passage, you will enter into the LAUNCH CONTROL
BUNKER. a [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE] and [DUCK AND COVER] are on desks about.
You have all the special keys to get around, so no door should be any
problem.
) Continue on to the BOMB STORAGE basement. There are some locked storage
rooms and the main vault room. Lots of loot, and a [GUNS AND BULLETS] in
one of the locked storage rooms. Inside the main vault room is the
unique [T-51B POWER ARMOR/HELM], [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] and a [FAT MAN]
and some [MINI NUKES] along with another [MINI NUKE] upstairs.
) After clearing out any enemy robots, you can leave the building and go
down the hill back towards the CO QUARTERS HUT, and then enter the
PERSONNEL OFFICES building. Not much about but a [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN]
is behind a locked door.
) Finish up and exit, and fast travel to the WKML BROADCAST STATION. Look
to the northwest and you'll see a church. Head there. You'll find the
DICKERSON TABERNACLE CHAPEL.
======================================
139. DICKERSON TABERNACLE CHAPEL
======================================
) This small church houses DRIFTER, a sniper who uses the [RESERVIST'S
RIFLE], a sniper rifle. a [GUNS AND BULLETS] lies on the ground. Best to
shoot his arm so he drops the rifle off the ledge down to your level.
) Now head southwest towards the left of the large rock hills you see. You
will come upon the MOUNT MABEL CAMPGROUND.
======================================
140. MOUNT MABEL CAMPGROUND
======================================
) Not much here other than being an occasional spawn spot. Head north by
northwest into the rocky hills. You next want to find the DEATHCLAW
SANCTUARY. You might see a ENCLAVE outpost on a hill directly next to
the entrance to help guide you.
======================================
141. DEATHCLAW SANCTUARY
======================================
) That's right, going to be Deathclaws around, so make sure you have your
strong weapons (dart gun, bottlecap mines, etc). As you enter the hills
its a little confusing with a bunch of ravines and valleys. There is a
ENCLAVE outpost stationed uphill of the entrance, so that might make it
easier to find.
) Usually there is at least a Deathclaw or 2 roaming outside, and maybe a
ENCLAVE trooper or 2. Many times they will have already killed some of
each other off. Kill anything surviving and loot the outpost. Right at
the entrance to the DEATHCLAW SANCTUARY is a footlocker with a [DUCK AND
COVER] inside.
) Inside the SANCTUARY, there is another half dozen or so Deathclaws
roaming about so watch yourself. There is various loot on bodies through-
out the lair, but 2 main areas you want to look for. Right at the first
large chamber south of the entrance on the ground are the [ENDURANCE
BOBBLE-HEAD], [MINI NUKE], [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU], and a [NUKA-COLA
QUANTUM].
) In the southeast area of the caves is a pool of red blood/water which
plunks water, so you can hear it when you are close. Next to the pool is
the [VENGEANCE] Gatling Laser.
) Rarely a ENCLAVE officer will be in the caves, who holds the named
[JACK] the Ripper melee weapon. Its not really important if you don't
encounter him though, the weapon isn't really that good at this point.
) When finished, head up to the ENCLAVE outpost and look west. You will see
a Broadcast tower not too far away (and probably a big sewer pipe). Go
west over to the BROADCAST TOWER KB5.
======================================
142. BROADCAST TOWER KB5
======================================
) This Tower is usually where a random event will occur. Go ahead and turn
on the switch on the generator.
) The Towers DRAINAGE CHAMBER (that sewer pipe you saw) just southeast down
the rocks will lead you to a small area where you can find a [TUMBLERS
TODAY] and some minor loot.
) Now, the tower is up on a big hill and you can see a lot of area around.
Head southwest down the hill towards a Raider camp fortified behind a
bunch of cars. a [GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] is in their area in a crate.
) Head north towards an abandoned house filled with Raiders. Kill them and
loot, finding a [MINI NUKE] in the tub, and a [TUMBLERS TODAY] in the
house.
) Look west and you'll see a orange truck/trailer on the overpass bridge.
Head southwest to access the bridge area. Once you get on the bridge
SAVE YOUR GAME. Now head to the trailer. There will be an explosion and
a scientist blows himself up doing something stupid. In the back of the
trailer is some minor loot, a [MINI NUKE] and a [BIG BOOK OF SCIENCE] on
the dead body of the scientist.
*** Note sometimes the explosion will glitch the scientist under the
truck, or someplace you can't find. Thus, make sure you save before you
approach so you can re-load and get the BOOK off his dead body ***
) Now head back northeast to the abandoned house that the raiders were in.
Look north/northeast and you'll see a huge SatCom tower in the distance.
Head towards it. You'll probably run into an ENCLAVE outpost half way
there. Now go up and enter the SATCOM ARRAY NW-05A.
======================================
143. SATCOM ARRAY NW-05A
======================================
) A few Raiders and a scientist is in the tower. Kill them and you can find
some codes on the scientist. A [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] is on the
table.
) Head up the tower and just before you reach the top dish you'll enter a
room with a terminal. You can get the locations to a couple other towers,
plus can activate the "Highwater Trousers" orbital missile platform.
Climb the ladder onto the top outside dish, and run up to the edge so
you can see the Wasteland landscape. If you look up you can see a bunch
of missiles falling to earth, hitting and exploding into Mini nukes.
) Exit the tower, then head west and as you go down the hill you will come
across some docks with a few raiders about. Kill them and loot. A [MINI
NUKE] is in the Raider loot, and a [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU] is on the roof
of the blue boat by the dock.
) Head west from the dock and up on the hill you can see a destroyed power
tower of some sort. Climb up the hill to it, then head south following
the power lines/towers. You'll quickly come to the MDPL-05 POWER STATION.
======================================
144. MDPL-05 POWER STATION
======================================
) This small enfenced area holds a dead body and next to it is a [DARTGUN
SCHEMATICS] and a [DEANS ELECTRONICS]. Continue south towards another
SatCom array tower, SATCOM ARRAY NW-07C.
======================================
145. SATCOM ARRAY NW-07C
======================================
) There is probably going to be a ENCLAVE outpost set up near the tower
base. Entering the tower you'll find some ENCLAVE scientists who have
killed the ghoul inhabitants. If you climb up to the dish array, you
might see 2 ENCLAVE Vertibirds fly over (if your quick enough you can
destroy one of them as it heads away.. I blasted one with my Gatling
laser.)
) Nothing really in the tower, between the tower and the broken tower next
to it is a SCAVENGER who turned the broken second tower dish into a
little house.
) Head east from the ARRAY tower towards the overpass highway. There is a
broken down truck with a [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED]. Keep going south on the
overpass highway and you'll eventually come to an ENCLAVE outpost. Kill
the troops here. Continue south and you'll reach the ABANDONED CAR FORT.
======================================
146. ABANDONED CAR FORT
======================================
) A bunch of piled up cars, there is a resting/ammo area in the center. You
can find a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR] here.
) Head south from the fort, and you'll go over a little hill and see a
radioactive gas area with ant bodies about. At a ant egg clutch pile is a
dead body of a Raider with a [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] next to it. Now
head west and you will find SHALEBRIDGE.
======================================
147. SHALEBRIDGE
======================================
) SHALEBRIDGE is a sparse area with some ants about. Kill them. There are
2 ant tunnel systems here. The SHALEBRIDGE TUNNELS and the SHALEBRIDGE
HILL.
) Enter the SHALEBRIDGE TUNNELS first, the entrance is kinda weird looking.
Inside you will find a group of friendly ants being attacked by INVADING
ANTS. You want to kill any enemy INVADER ANTS. Searching one will let you
have a message about the other ant colony. You can examine the egg clutch
pile near a pool which will allow you to inject a [STIMPACK] into the
pile to help the colony.
) Near the pool is a ANT RESEARCHER, sometimes dead. He carries a [BIG BOOK
OF SCIENCE]. You can exit and wait 3 days and the RESEARCHER will re-
spawn, giving you endless BOOKS.
) Now go to the other ant tunnels, the SHALEBRIDGE HILL. Inside you want to
kill the enemy ants, and take down the ANT QUEEN.
) When finished, head south from SHALEBRIDGE towards a broadcast tower. The
BROADCAST TOWER KT8.
======================================
148. BROADCAST TOWER KT8
======================================
) You might run into some Super Mutants in the area, and maybe see a fight
between them and a couple Vertibirds. Nothing is at the tower, but north
of it in the valley nearby is a sewer entrance, the SEWER ENTRANCE TO
DRAINAGE CHAMBER. You will find a access key on the table, use it on the
working computer terminal to open the floor. Go down to find 2 dead
Chinese soldier bodies. There is a rare [CHINESE COMMANDO HAT] along with
a [MINI NUKE] and a [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL].
) From the tower head east. You will see on top of a high hill a little red
shack. Head up there to find an abandoned shack. Inside is a snipers nest
where you can find a [DEANS ELECTRONICS], [GUNS AND BULLETS], [KELLER
FAMILY TRANSCRIPTS #4], and in the locker the [VICTORY] sniper rifle.
This sniper rifle will cause enemies to be knocked down on a critical hit
so its nice.
) Outside there will probably be a lot of targets you can shoot from up on
the hill at the shack. Some super mutants, maybe Talon Mercs appearing,
and looking east you can see a big red rocket structure, head there that's
ROCKBREAKER'S LAST GAS. (you might be able to shoot the ENCLAVE troops
at ROCKBREAKER'S from the shack).
======================================
149. ROCKBREAKER'S LAST GAS
======================================
) Not much here except a ENCLAVE outpost. Near the Nuka-cola machines,
either on top of one, or behind, is a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM].
) Head north and you'll come to a jumble of tractor trailer cabs, the FIVE
AXLES REST STOP.
======================================
150. FIVE AXLES REST STOP
======================================
) A group of 4 trucks and trailers in a circle, with a few Raiders has a
[MINI NUKE] and a [US ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE] in back of one of the
trailers.
) Clear the area and head south/southwest. You will find an old campground
with a bunch of campers, and maybe some Raiders, the EVERGLOW NATIONAL
CAMPGROUND.
======================================
151. EVERGLOW NATIONAL CAMPGROUND
======================================
) This overgrown campground has a bunch of camper trailers and probably
a few Raiders about. One camper has a [GUNS AND BULLETS], but entering it
will trigger a Raider/Mutant spawn to appear outside and fight each other
so just hide and wait, and finish up who ever survives.
) Leave the campground and head east and soon you will see a large mess
of little red shacks to the south/southeast. There will be a few enemies
about, and in a couple of the shacks you can a [TALES OF A JUNKYARD
VENDOR] in the largest shack. In another shack is a [MINI NUKE] and a
[DUCK AND COVER].
) From the shacks you want to head southwest to a small path that leads
through the rocky hill that will take you to a radioactive dump site,
the JALBERT BROTHERS WASTE DISPOSAL.
======================================
152. JALBERT BROTHERS WASTE DISPOSAL
======================================
) There is a bunch of radioactive containers about, and 2 small buildings.
The buildings are connected by a small tunnel. In one of the buildings is
a [DC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE] and the other holds a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM].
) Exit the buildings and fast travel to the east side of the map to the
NATIONAL GUARD DEPOT.
======================================
153. NATIONAL GUARD DEPOT
======================================
) You have all the codes now for the Armory. The Depot building itself is
in bad shape, with much of it destroyed, and you'll have to follow a
winding path of destroyed rooms and areas to go through the area. There is
a lot of loot still in the DEPOT so its well worth the searching.
) You'll start in the NATIONAL GUARD DEPOT part of the building. Traverse
your way through eliminating any robot foes about. Not much worthwhile
to get yet.
) Pass through the NATIONAL GUARD TRAINING WING, finding a [TALES OF A
JUNKYARD VENDOR] in a room near a safe.
) Continue to the DEPOT OFFICES where a [DUCK AND COVER] is on a counter.
) You'll exit back into another part of the NATIONAL GUARD DEPOT, and in
front of you on the wall to the left is a electrical switch. Throw it and
the ARMORY UTILITY DOOR will light up down in the ruined building. Hop
down towards the door, and on that level is a [NIKOLA TESLA AND YOU] in
a nearby room.
) Enter the ARMORY UTILITY room, there is a switch to open the lower levels
on the wall. Head down into the ARMORY and you'll find tons of loot. The
[SMALL GUNS BOBBLE-HEAD] is just before the BUNKER door. Also about is
a lot of weapons and ammo and armor.
) Since you have the KELLER CODES access the terminal and open the BUNKER
door. Inside after killing a Glowing One Ghoul, are the [EXPERIMENTAL
MIRV] Fatman launcher, 5 [MINI NUKES], a [US ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE],
and a [NUKA-COLA QUANTUM] with other misc loot.
) Exit the DEPOT and head back to MEGATON to sell, rest, etc.
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Well, your almost done. You've pretty much ran about the entire map and
killed a bunch of stuff, not a whole lot left. Its time to finish off the
ENCLAVE in the area and finish what your DAD started.
Wear your best armor, take your best weapons, no need for misc items you
should have hundreds of Stimpacks built up for healing. Bring a FATMAN,
your NUKA GRENADES, And your favorite weapons of choice.
Fast travel back to EVERGLOW NATIONAL CAMPGROUNDS and head southwest to the
marker on your map for LITTLE LAMPLIGHT.
****************************************************************************
****************************************************************************
======================================
154. LITTLE LAMPLIGHT
======================================
) This little cavern town is run by children. When you enter, the MAYOR
MACCREADY will greet you.
) There is one child you want to find, BIWWY (BILLY), who you can get the
[WAZER WIFLE] laser rifle from. KNICK KNACK the shop owner can sell you
a BOTTLECAP MINE SCHEMATIC.
) Talk to MACCREADY and tell him you want to enter VAULT 87 through MURDER
PASS. He will open the gate for you. MURDER PASS is populated by a lot of
Super Mutants so blast your way through. [TALES OF A JUNKYARD VENDOR] is
in the southeast area in a small alcove, and in the southwest is a
[US ARMY FLAMETHROWER RECIPE] on a table. Just before VAULT 87 is a
[NUKA-COLA QUANTUM].
======================================
155. VAULT 87
======================================
) VAULT 87 is actually a very large Vault, with a ton of levels. It is full
of Super Mutants, so fight your way through it. There is a [NIKOLA TESLA
AND YOU] near the MURDER PASS entrance. Go left down the stairs then left
and near a mannequin its there in a box. A [PUGILISM ILLUSTRATED] is
on the catwalk level in the LIVING QUARTERS behind a locked door.
) You will find a detention level where FAWKES the friendly Super Mutant
awaits. Free him from his cell and he will help you clear out the VAULT
of enemies. He will also retrieve the G.E.C.K. From its radioactive
chamber.
) Once FAWKES retrieves the G.E.C.K. you will have to exit the VAULT, but
before you can you are ambushed in one of the exit hallways by the
ENCLAVE. You awaken in a RAVEN ROCK detention cell.
======================================
156. RAVEN ROCK
======================================
) You awaken from the ambush in a RAVEN ROCK detention cell questioned by
COLONEL AUTUMN. After some questioning the President will call him away
and talk to you, wanting you to meet him. Get your gear from the locker
in the room and exit.
) Its time to clear out the ENCLAVE base. Kill all the troops you see. There
is a bunch of loot here, especially power armor and items from all the
troops. There are 3 levels of RAVEN ROCK, the only valuable item you want
to make sure to get is the [ENERGY WEAPONS BOBBLE-HEAD] on the second
level. Get it before you proceed to the CONTROL ROOM at the end of the
second level.
) After talking to the President, take the FEV vial and agree to help him.
Then talk to him again and convince him to destroy the ENCLAVE base after
you are gone. Now leave and proceed to level 1. There will be some
Presidential robots helping you fight the remaining ENCLAVE troops. Finish
clearing the last level and exit RAVEN ROCK.
) Outside you will see COLONEL AUTUMN'S Veribirds leaving the base before
it starts self-destructing. Also outside FAWKES has arrived to find you,
and is wiping out the leftover ENCLAVE troops on the ground. Talk to
FAWKES, and recruit him if you want.
) Fast travel to the CITADEL and head to the lab to talk to ELDER LYONS and
some of the Brotherhood. He will then ask you how everything went, turn
over the Presidents FEV virus, and tell them that RAVEN ROCK is destroyed
and soon you will be launching an assault on the MEMORIAL.
) Once the Robot is activated, follow the PRIDE PLATOON out of the building
and out of the CITADEL. You'll have a fun battle sequence coming up, so
get ready. The LIBERTY PRIME robot will head towards the MEMORIAL,
destroying all ENCLAVE troops in its way. Follow it far enough back so
that any Vertibird rockets won't hit you while they are shooting at the
Robot. Eventually you will reach the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL. Clear out all
remaining ENCLAVE troops. (or let the Robot do it).
*** If you want you can decide screw the Robot, your going to pave the
way. Equip your big guns (FATMAN, ROCKET LAUNCHER, what ever) and
in the areas that you can, run ahead and kill the ENCLAVE troops
yourself. At this point you should be plenty powerful to wipe them
out. *****
) At the MEMORIAL, enter the GIFT SHOP area and clear out the ENCLAVE troops
on guard. When ready for the end of the game, enter the ROTUNDA area
) You now have a few options how to end the game. All of them involve you
dying. So it doesn't matter, its up to you. You can turn on the Purifier,
or have LYONS do it. Either way, game ends, water works, everyone is
saved. Happy ending. Miller Time. Sorry you won't get to enjoy it.

V. LAST WORDS
=========================================
Well thats about it for the game. This walkthrough wasn't designed for you
to find every area, or every skillbook, but to find and do most things in
the game. Also how you go about the areas or kill the enemies are up to you,
but there are many ways to go about doing things.
Feel free to email me with problems you might catch, such as directional
mistakes, spelling, a skill book that is in an areas that i didn't mention,
you get the idea. Don't email me with "why did you do this first, or that".
This is my walkthrough, not yours. You don't have to do the areas in the
order I put them in.
Now that you have played and learned the game, the next time you play you
can make it a little tougher or different. Play on hard mode, cut back your
intelligence so finding skill books is more important. Limit your weapons or
try playing the game not using the VATS targetting system.
Thats about it. Hope you had fun with the game, and good luck on your next
