Fallout 3 Hints
Post-Quest Notes
1 of 6: After you finish the quest by finding Bryan a new home (or refusing to even try), Dr. Lesko will take up residence in the shack next to the Wilks' house.
2 of 6: You can either kill him for XP and a few items, or sell him fire ant nectar for 40 caps a portion. (Providing you don't want to keep the nectar and use it for its temporary +25 fire resistance.)
3 of 6: You can also go kill the ant queen in the hatchery now without making Dr. Lesko mad or losing out on any rewards.
4 of 6: Duck in and out of cover at the ant queen chamber's entrance, shooting her until she's dead. (A fat man mini nuke or several missiles from a missile launcher would work best.)
5 of 6: Loot her body for a portion of ant queen pheromones, then check on and around the table Dr. Lesko set his terminal on to find some items, including a Nuka-Cola Quantum and a Science skill book.
6 of 6: If you want more ant queens to kill, check the big NW room in the Shalebridge Hill cave (secondary location a on the Zone 4 Map) and the SW room of the main area in the Corvega Factory (location 7 on the Zone 6 Map).
