Fallout 3 Hints
DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac
1 of 9: This metro area has exits to a spot a bit SW of Georgetown West (Georgetown region), plus the Arlington Utility and Foggy Bottom Station metro areas. This guided tour assumes you're entering from Arlington Utility.
2 of 9: Look for an ammo box on the metal shelves just to the left of where you enter, then grab the combat knife from the table next to the sandbag wall. Look around on the ground if you want some tin cans.
3 of 9: Leave the room and enter the track tunnel, then turn left and look for tin cans on the ground. Also, look for a portion of mirelurk meat (shaped like a big claw) on the ground in a hole in the wall near a steaming pipe.
4 of 9: Enter the connecting tunnel, where you'll find more tin cans on the ground and an ammo box on some metal shelves. At the south end of the connecting tunnel is a sandbag wall with another ammo box next to it.
5 of 9: In the next tunnel, look for another piece of claw-shaped mirelurk meat near a dead mirelurk, then move on to where you'll find a side passage on your right. It leads to an underwater area with several mirelurk egg clutches and a toolbox.
6 of 9: Return to the track tunnel and go east to find a bunch of egg clutches near a path split. If you go to the east end of the tunnel and take the north side passage, you'll reach the door to Georgetown West.
7 of 9: Go down the other tunnel branch and through its east side passage. After passing through some radioactive water, you'll find the body of a dead settler that you can loot.
8 of 9: If you go down the passage east of the settler, all you'll find is an underwater mirelurk and the door to the Foggy Bottom Station area. Go south instead and through a water-logged tunnel to reach a room with some stairs.
9 of 9: Climb the stairs to get out of the water, then look around to find several egg clutches, plus a Medicine skill book and two stimpaks setting on a large machine console.
