Fallout 3 Hints

Seneca Station Route

  • 1 of 10: After you arrive at the station, look for the stairs that lead down to a chain gate.
  • 2 of 10: Go through the gate to reach the underground metro area called Northwest Seneca Station.
  • 3 of 10: Head forward and to the left to find a couple of friendly ghouls named Murphy and Barrett.
  • 4 of 10: Start on the "Making Ultrajet" undocumented quest if you want to, then find the side room in their living area that has an "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" door in it.
  • 5 of 10: Open the door, then quickly run forward and use the manhole in the floor to reach the Meresti Service Tunnel area before you take many rads from the leaky barrels.
  • 6 of 10: In the tunnel, run forward and to the right around a huge rock to escape the barrels' residual radiation, then head down the cave tunnel.
  • 7 of 10: After you meet a couple of mirelurks, keep going to reach an old metro transit tunnel. (Watch out for a "grenade bouquet" trap as you leave the cave tunnel.)
  • 8 of 10: Go into Sneak mode and watch for two bear traps and two frag mines on the way to the spot where the tunnel branches to the left.
  • 9 of 10: Turn left and look for two more traps (both of which involve tripwires) as you make your way to the sandbag wall where a lookout named Robert will talk to you.
  • 10 of 10: Tell him you're there to deliver a letter to Ian West to finish this objective.
