Fallout 3 Hints
The Capitol Building
1 of 6: This building is in both the Mall and Seward Square interior regions in the D.C. metropolitan ruins. Specifically, it's location 51 on the Zone 9 Map. See the D.C. Ruins Interior Regions hints if you need to figure out a way to get there.
2 of 6: After you enter the building, fight your way along to the rotunda, which is the large eastern section of the West Entrance area.
3 of 6: There, you'll find several Talon Company mercs fighting a super mutant behemoth.
4 of 6: One of those mercs is using the fat man you're after.
5 of 6: He'll probably be dead by the time you arrive, so quickly run into the rotunda and start searching merc bodies while the behemoth is busy fighting other mercs.
6 of 6: If you can't find the fat man before the behemoth comes after you, you'll have to retreat through a doorway and kill the behemoth before you resume your search. (Hopefully, you have another fat man with you!)
