Fallout 3 Hints

Sewer

  • 1 of 7: This metro/sewer area connects a manhole a bit NW of Metro Central (Pennsylvania Avenue region) to a manhole just NE of Seward Sq. North Metro (Seward Square region). This guided tour assumes you're entering from the Seward Sq. North Metro manhole.
  • 2 of 7: Go through the door in the starting room to reach a track tunnel, then head down it, ready to fight super mutants as you meet them.
  • 3 of 7: When you encounter rubble blockage, move over to the adjacent track tunnel and look for a door in the south wall.
  • 4 of 7: Go through it and up some stairs to find a laser pistol, some microfusion cells, and a hidden stash note near some skeletons.
  • 5 of 7: From the stash, go back west to where you can cross over to the northern track, then turn right and follow it along.
  • 6 of 7: When you come to a connecting tunnel, check near the sofa for an ammo box.
  • 7 of 7: Just north of that is a narrow passage leading to the ladder that goes to the manhole that's NW of the outdoor Metro Central area.
