Fallout 3 Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Speak to Sally.

  • 1 of 7: Before you talk to Sally, go around and use the controls next to each pod to get ACRL entries.
  • 2 of 7: Also, try talking to the three pod people who survived -- and Somah, who just now catches up with you again.
  • 3 of 7: Talk to Sally about the generators you need to destroy, then wait to get your next set of objectives.
  • 4 of 7: You can do those objectives in any order you want. There are three required areas (Cryo Labs, Hangar, and Robot Assembly) you have to go through for the objectives, and three optional areas (Engine Room, Maintenance Level, and Cargo Hold) with extra stuff, including ACRL devices.
  • 5 of 7: You can do those six areas in any order you want, but it's recommended that you do the optional areas first, since that's the only way you'll be able to take any companions with you. Tell one that you're going to the required area that he prefers in order to get him to join you, then go do the optional area(s) first (or right after doing the required area).
  • 6 of 7: TIP: After you finish the Robot Assembly area, you can use the drone control device to get a guardian drone as a companion, provided there are some left in drone pods somewhere.
  • 7 of 7: Every time you complete one of those six areas, return to the Engineering Core and check its northern parts for new items that your companions have scrounged up in your absence. See below for a summary of what all you can get.
