Fallout 3 Hints
Underground Metro Area Guided Tours
Each of the following hint sections is a very detailed guided tour through one of the underground areas that connects the D.C. ruins' regions together. The tours assume you want to find just about every little thing (including junk items that are used in creating custom weapons) along the way.
The only problem is that each tour starts at a specific entry location, and most of these areas have more than one entry location. If you're entering from a different location, you can either exit and go around to where you can enter at the tour start, or you can just fight your way over to the tour start area and then do the tour with fewer enemies to deal with. (Or explore and loot on your own, then do the tour to see what you missed.)
TIP: The most common enemies in these areas are ghouls, so it would be a good idea to get and wear the Ghoul Mask to make exploring much easier.
