Fallout 3 Hints

Where are the other five sheet music books?

  • 1 of 6: The easiest one to get is in the Springvale School (location 14 on the Zone 5 Map). It's on an overturned desk in the SE ground-floor classroom. See the Springvale School Tour if you want more tips on looting the school.
  • 2 of 6: Another one that's not too hard to get to is in the Arlington Library (location 20 on the Zone 9 Map). Go to the Children's Wing section, then head over to its west side. In the northern of the two west-most rooms, look on the floor next to the music stand.
  • 3 of 6: The only other sheet music book that isn't inside the D.C. metro ruins is in the Roosevelt Academy (location 1 on the Zone 4 Map). In the Arts and Athletics Hall area, look on the floor on the east side of the gym's stage, next to several music stands.
  • 4 of 6: One of the two D.C. area books is inside the National Archives building (location 47 on the Zone 9 Map). See the D.C. Ruins Interior Regions hints if you don't know how to get there.
  • 5 of 6: Once you're in the building, go to the Archives Sub-Basement area and look on the metal shelves that are against the west wall near the area's NW corner.
  • 6 of 6: The final sheet music book is on the roof of the Statesman Hotel (location 35 on the Zone 9 Map). To get there, do the "Reilly's Rangers" misc. quest. Once you're on the raised roof section that the three rangers are defending, look in the SW corner near the chairs and music stand for the sheet music book.
