The Cure

Follow our comprehensive Fallout 3 walkthrough for 'The Cure' quest in The Pitt. Navigate Uptown, explore Abandoned Apartments, and confront Ashur's stronghold to make a critical moral decision.

Walkthrough:

1. Audience With Ashur: After exiting the Hole, Krenshaw will inform you that Ashur wants to meet. Recover your confiscated gear from the footlocker. Exit the arena, pass Marco, and find Hammer by a newly opened gate. Proceed through the gate, ascend stairs to the east, and exit to Uptown.
2. Uptown Exploration: Head east, then north up a ramp into Uptown. Speak with charismatic Pitt Raiders like Lulu (for food) and Phantom (for Rad Away) to understand their perspective. Access elevated areas to find Friday (weapons, ammo, armor vendor) and Harris (alcohol, drugs, food vendor). Abundant loot, including stealable items, is available.
3. Abandoned Apartments: Navigate Uptown towards the ground level and then east. Locate the gated plaza with a metal effigy, leading to Haven, Ashur’s stronghold. Before confronting Ashur, explore the optional Abandoned Apartments to the north-west of Haven. Inside, hack a terminal [Hard] to unlock a safe [Hard]. Proceed through a hole in the wall to a bedroom.
4. The Smoker’s Room: Enter a kitchen to find Nuka-Cola Quantum, food, and components. Continue west through a doorway, then north down a hallway. Access a locked apartment [Average] filled with cigarettes. Find first aid boxes, Stimpaks, and other minor loot.
5. Looting More Apartments: Continue north down the hallway, then turn left. In an apartment with a collapsed roof forming a ramp, loot a first aid box from a counter drawer and an ammo box from the bathroom. Be cautious of Trogs descending from above. Ascend the ramp and loot the upper apartment.
6. The Chinese Agent’s Room: Proceed east down a hallway to the south. Loot an apartment to the right for intact Pre-War headwear, a first aid box, and a bathroom. Enter a room [Very Easy] containing money, Chinese Assault Rifles, ammo boxes, and a floor safe [Average]. The safe contains the unique **Hat of the People**, offering a +5 bonus to _Small Guns_. Explore another apartment to the east, which contains Trogs and gas; avoid using firearms here. Exit the Abandoned Apartments.
7. Haven: Continue past the metal sculpture to Haven. Enter the Haven Entrance, proceed east up stairs, and take an elevator to Haven. Head west to find Krenshaw and Ashur. After their conversation, Ashur will approach you. Choose dialogue options #1 or #2 to avoid initiating a fight. Ashur will question you about Wernher, his former second-in-command who fled after a failed coup.
8. Moral Dilemma: Krenshaw will report a slave revolt, and Ashur will depart. You must choose whether to side with Ashur or Wernher. Ashur, though a tyrant, aims to uplift the Pitt. Wernher is a deceptive figure. The next step involves investigating the cure before making a final decision. In Ashur's room, you can attempt to hack his
