Need to find Grognak the Barbarian and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor books in Fallout 3? This guide shows you where to look after the 'Head of State' quest.

Alright, so you've finished up the main quest, and you're looking to snag some extra goodies, right? Specifically, we're talking about finding two more skill books: Grognak the Barbarian and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor. Don't worry, it's not too far out of your way.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll want to head back to the Temple of the Union.
  2. 2
    Once you're there, make your way southwest until you spot a highway.
  3. 3
    Find one of the exit ramps and head up it. You'll notice some shacks on the bridge.
  4. 4
    These shacks, which might have been empty or had just a lone Enclave Soldier before, are now crawling with Raiders. Keep an eye out, because a Vertibird might even show up to drop off more Enclave Soldiers.
  5. 5
    Clear out all the enemies in the area.
  6. 6
    After the dust settles, search the makeshift shacks. You'll find a copy of Grognak the Barbarian on one table and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor on another. Grab 'em both!
Tips
  • This little detour is a great way to grab those books without going too far off the beaten path after completing the main story.
  • Be prepared for a fight when you get to the bridge – those Raiders and Enclave Soldiers won't give up their loot easily!
  • Grognak the Barbarian book
  • Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor book
