Fallout 3 Hints

Deliver Lucy's message.

  • 1 of 6: Head NW to Arefu (location 4 on the Zone 5 Map), which is a small town built on part of an old bridge.
  • 2 of 6: Go along the bridge until something explodes ahead of you, and Evan King talks to you.
  • 3 of 6: Walk over to him and tell him that you have a letter for the West family.
  • 4 of 6: He won't care much about that, and will give you the "Check the Ewers Residence," "Check the Schenzy Residence," and "Check the West Residence" objectives.
  • 5 of 6: After finishing those three objectives, you'll get "Report to Evan King," followed by "Locate the Family."
  • 6 of 6: All further hints are in the objectives following that. You'll be able to actually deliver Lucy's message once you find Ian West.
