Fallout 3 Hints

Melee Weapons

  • 1 of 14: This bobblehead is in the Dunwich Building (location 10 on the Zone 7 Map). The place is full of ghouls, including the radiation-spewing "glowing ones," so be prepared for lots of ghoul combat.
  • 2 of 14: Inside the building, go forward and through the doorway on the right, then up the stairs.
  • 3 of 14: Turn left past the small bathroom, then go through the door that's near rubble blockage.
  • 4 of 14: Drop through the large nearby floor hole, then go through the door in the NW corner.
  • 5 of 14: Ahead and to the left of that is a door leading to the Forsaken Dunwich Ruins area, so go through it.
  • 6 of 14: Move along the only available passage until you reach a large room and have a "quicky flash" vision.
  • 7 of 14: Turn left and go through the doorway that's ahead, and then up some stairs.
  • 8 of 14: Go along the passage until you can reach the large room's NW corner, where you'll be able to go west to move on past it.
  • 9 of 14: In the next large room, drop down to the lower floor and find the door to the south that leads to the Virulent Underchambers area.
  • 10 of 14: Quickly drop down to the lowest floor of the wrecky room you start in and go through the door in the SE corner.
  • 11 of 14: Move along the maintenance tunnel until you reach a room with some stairs, then go down them and through a door.
  • 12 of 14: Go down another tunnel and through another door to reach a room where you can climb up some stairs.
  • 13 of 14: Past them, keep going until you reach the room where the bobblehead is on the floor with some tin cans and soda bottles.
  • 14 of 14: To make a quick getaway, go through the nearby door to the main Dunwich Building area, then drop through a floor hole and head for the exit.
