Fallout 3 Hints

North Area

  • 1 of 9: On the mezzanine's upper floor, find the big ramp leading north.
  • 2 of 9: Just past it on the left is a garbage can, and not far past that is a ticket booth with a door next to it.
  • 3 of 9: Past the door is a metal box and a door to a restroom area. It has a sink you can drink from, a rad-x item in the sink, a medical brace on the floor near the sink, a jet chem on the toilet's rim, and three metal boxes near the toilet.
  • 4 of 9: Leave the bathroom and go past the ticket booth's turnstiles, then proceed with caution -- there are five bear traps set between that point and the metal gate that leads to Dupont West.
  • 5 of 9: After disarming all the bear traps, look along that passage for an Eat'o'Tronic 3000 and two garbage cans.
  • 6 of 9: Next to the eastern garbage can is an open door leading to an office area with a raider and a protectron in a case. To release the protectron, hack the terminal to the right of its case and choose to run the ticket check routine.
  • 7 of 9: Look on top of the large machine to the left of the protectron case to find an Energy Weapons skill book.
  • 8 of 9: Search all the desks and filing cabinets in that room (not missing the lunchbox on the NE corner desk), then go down the nearby service tunnel.
  • 9 of 9: In the next room, go down to the bottom floor and then down some steps to reach a track tunnel. It has a raider, a metal box, and some tin cans in it, and leads back to the mezzanine area.
