Walkthrough

1
Find Danny by the chapel in Diamond City. He's in pain and being treated by the pastor. He'll tell you he saw the Mayor with a synth and was attacked, initiating the quest to “Confront Mayor McDonough”.
2
Optionally, you can give Danny a Stimpak.
3
Head up the stairs near Danny and use the elevator to reach the Mayor’s Office.
4
Piper (or a guard) will be banging on the locked door. You have several options to get inside:
- Picklock the door (Novice lock). Piper will dislike this.
5
Find a button under Geneva’s desk to open the door.
6
Pass a Charisma check (equip Charisma-boosting gear beforehand).
7
Once inside, McDonough will appear, holding Geneva hostage. You can attempt a moderate speech check to convince him to let her go, which Piper will approve of.
8
McDonough will demand to leave the city, but Piper and/or the security guard will stop him.
9
You have several options for how to proceed:
- Agree to let him walk out.
10
Attack him.

Question him.

Make him stand trial. (Recommended by the guide, as Piper approves.)

You will likely have to fight McDonough. If Geneva was not freed, use VATS to target his head. He is a low-level enemy (around level 12) and not a significant threat.

After defeating McDonough, loot his corpse for “Kellogg’s House Key” (which is not needed) and other items like ammo and caps.
15
The quest concludes as bystanders comment on his death and thank you.
