    Head north-northwest of Vault 106 to find Kaelyn’s Bed & Breakfast, occupied by Raiders. Loot the house before proceeding. Discover Arefu to the north-northwest for fast travel, but avoid provoking Evan King.
  2. 2
    From Kaelyn's, head south-southwest on a dirt path. Ascend, turn northwest, and follow the cliff edge west, then southwest. Find a collapsed radio tower, a "Scenic Overlook" sign, a motorcycle, and a metal box containing "Patrick’s Farewell" note. Loot Patrick's body for a Switchblade. Continue west to a metal shack near VAPL-58 Power Station for loot. Later, after Broken Steel starts, find a Wastelander camp with beds, Wastelanders, and "Wastelander Holotape #1".
  3. 3
    Loot VAPL-58 Power Station for a Dean’s Electronics book and a U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes book on the roof. A hackable computer [Very Hard] and a locked safe [Very Hard] are on the main floor. Return with 100 Lockpick or Science to open the safe for 60 Caps, a Silenced 10mm Pistol, Nuka-Cola Quantum, and a Stealth Boy.

    From VAPL-58, head north along electrical towers to the third one with a shelter. Inside are two Ghoul Wastelanders. Loot a Pre-War book, Mini Nuke, and Keller Family Transcript (1 of 5). Return with 100 Lockpick to open a personal footlocker [Very Hard].

    Head west-southwest to Jalbert Brothers Waste Disposal. Unlock the gate [Easy] or enter the office building. Use the terminal [Average] to open a safe [Very Hard] containing a 10mm Pistol, ammo, and money. Find D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine on a shelf. Loot a metal locker [Average] for Radiation Suits and use the First Aid Box [Easy]. Take Nuka-Cola Quantum from the desk. Exit, avoiding Rads and potential random encounters. Move north through the site, past a truck, waste barrels, and a bridge over unhealthy water.
  6. 6
    Continue north-northwest past rocks to find a settlement of hostile Ghoul Wastelanders. Use Fisto! to defeat them. Loot their Abandoned Shacks. The southern shack has a Combat Shotgun, Laser Rifle, locked ammo crate [Average], Mini Nuke, and Duck and Cover!. The western shack has a Combat Shotgun and locked ammo crate [Easy]. Outside, find Tumblers Today under an overturned fridge. The northern shack has a Stealth Boy and Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor. Find Nuka-Cola Quantum south-west near an overturned truck.
  7. 7
    West-northwest of Ghoul Town is Rockbreaker’s Last Gas. Loot a dead Wastelander for food and a 10mm Submachine Gun. Look west-northwest up the mountain for a shack.

    Head southwest to find a path to the Mountain Shack. Loot Dean’s Electronics from a wooden crate, Keller Family Transcript (4 of 5) from the workbench, a Pre-War Book from the bedside table, and Guns and Bullets from underneath it. Loot the ammo box [Average] and safe [Hard]. The locker [Very Hard] requires 100 Lockpick to open for the Victory Rifle.

  12. 12
    Further down the road, find Frag Grenades near a skeletal torso in a bus. Follow the road, taking the western fork uphill. At the next fork, veer north-northeast towards electrical towers, leading to MDPL-05 Power Station. Bypass locked gates [Hard] by finding a broken fence. Inside, find Schematic - Dart Gun and Dean’s Electronics near a skeleton. His toolbox contains the MDPL-05 Power Station Key.
