Fallout 3 Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Shut off power for Uptown's lights.
1 of 14: After looting Wernher's hideout for items, exit back to the Steelyard, then fast-travel to the Steelyard to get back to ground level quickly.
2 of 14: Go west past the truck, then turn right and go to the NW corner of the train car area.
3 of 14: Next to a flaming barrel is the sewer entrance to the Pitt Underground area. You can enter it now that you have the key Wernher gave you.
4 of 14: Go down the starting sewer tunnel until you reach a fence, then shoot some trogs through the fence before entering the big hole in the wall.
5 of 14: Move through the cave tunnel to reach another sewer tunnel, then go through the doorway at its other end to find a first aid box on a wall, followed by some stairs.
6 of 14: Go up the stairs and into a large pipe-filled room. Check the toolbox and locker over to the right, then watch for trogs as you go up the ramp and down the long passage past it.
7 of 14: When you come to the top of another ramp, check the dead body and first aid box for items, then go down the ramps and toward the doorway, watching for several trogs to come down the ramps after you.
8 of 14: TIP: If you turn left from facing the doorway, you can get some whiskey from on a machine, and go behind some generators to find some frag mines and a toolbox. (The mines are hidden underneath red cones, so crouch-walk up to where you can move a cone in Grab mode, then move in to deactivate and take the mine.)
9 of 14: Go through the doorway and down to another room, where you'll find some jet and beer near the bottom of some stairs. Wait there for several trogs to come after you (or shoot out the generators along the sides of the room to blow them up), then go up the stairs and cross the room to find a first aid box and a Nuka-Cola vending machine.
10 of 14: Go through the doorway next to the vending machine, watching for a set frag mine in the corner ahead, then approach the door to the big gassy room.
11 of 14: Toss a frag grenade into that room, then run back to a spot near the vending machine. That'll clear out the room's gas and trogs, and you can enter it safely.
12 of 14: Check along the back of the room for items, then go up the stairs and along the walkway. Look for a few misc. items as you go, then enter the big control room.
13 of 14: Look in the SE corner for a first aid box, and near the NW corner for a switch you can use to activate a protectron (which you can then whack for energy cells). When you're done with that, find the "Uptown Floodlight Controls" terminal in the room's southern alcove.
14 of 14: Use the terminal and choose to terminate floodlight power.
