Last update: 11 May 2016

Received from: Tobar the Ferryman [Capitol Wasteland]

[#3]

Walkthrough: Obviously you must start off by talking to Tobar the Ferryman. Ask him about Nadine (Catherine's daughter), about the cruise and about attractions waiting for all new visitors in Point Lookout. End the conversation by asking him to buy a ticket for the ferry [#3]. As I've mentioned before, you will be forced to leave your followers in Capitol Wasteland, because he's selling only one ticket. Wait for a trade window to appear on your screen and choose the riverboat ticket from the list. This object will cost about 400 bottlecaps. If you don't have enough money, consider selling some of your items to Tobar since he's a trader or you can also return here later on during the course of the game.

[#4]

Once you've acquired the ticket go to the left cabin. Locate a small bed to your right [#4] and use it. You'll find out that during your stay in Point Lookout your followers will sent back elsewhere (probably to the Museum of History). You must now wait patiently for the game to load an entirely new area and you'll end up standing close to Point Lookout Pier. Talk to Tobar again. Ask him about interesting areas to visit, as well as about smoke coming out of Calvert Mansion seen in the distance.

[#5]

As you've probably suspected, your top priority at the moment will be to reach Calvert Mansion. Thankfully it's nearby, so it won't be a long trip. Start off by heading east. Watch out, because you may be attacked by several tribals along the way. You shouldn't ignore them, because they're more powerful and more resistant that you might have thought. I would recommend using big guns to take them out. You won't have to loot their bodies, however you would come across ammunition, shotguns and rifles. Approach the mansion from the north [#5] and get to the main entrance. Confirm that you want to head inside.

[#6]

Head forward upon your arrival in the mansion. DON"T attack the ghoul! The same goes with his attack dogs and with security turrets seen in the main area. Instead focus all of your efforts on eliminating a small group of tribals [#6]. Don't forget to aim for their heads, so it won't take too long for them to die. Having a perk that regenerates your AP's after each kill in V.A.T.S. may come in handy. Once you've won inspect the bodies and you'll find a Lever-Action rifle among other things, including much needed medical supplies.

[#7]

You may approach Desmond, however you won't be allowed to talk to him right now. Instead enter a small room with a lot of security cameras showing all parts of the mansion. Follow Desmond to a new room which will be located to your left. Watch out, because a nearby wall is going to be destroyed and more tribals will show up [#7]. I would recommend using a rocket launcher or something similar to get rid of an entire group quickly. You should also know that they're primary objective will be to get closer to you and Desmond and that'll make killing them a lot harder.

[#8]

Once you've won take your time examining the bodies and wait for Desmond to open a northern door for you. Enter the dining area carefully and get ready to eliminate new enemy units. One of the tribals will land on the table [#8] and the rest will use the left door to get to you. Make sure you're the only one standing and choose the passageway where the larger group has appeared for the first time. Find the stairs and proceed to the upper floor. Head on to the main corridor and approach the left door slowly.

[#9]

Watch out, because a new enemy will destroy a nearby door. Kill him before he gets up and get ready to eliminate his colleague as well. You may proceed to the next room. Ignore wardrobes found along the way unless you're in desperate need of unique clothes. :-) Tribals will attack you near a long passageway [#9] and you'll have to defend yourself against two groups. The first group is hiding in a large room to your right and the rest will surprise you from the back. Use powerful guns here, so you won't allow any of the tribals to get closer. It's also important to prevent tribals from surrounding the main character.

[#10]

Make sure that you've eliminated all hostiles and enter a large room where you encountered one of the groups. Take your time exploring the area to find medical supplies and ammunition. Approach a partially destroyed door and use the intercom to listen to what Desmond has to say. Follow his instructions by aiming at the red tank [#10]. Make sure to maintain safe distance, because a huge explosion will occur and one of the passageways will collapse. Return to the main corridor where you'll be greeted by Desmond. Follow him and don't forget to choose a powerful gun from your inventory along the way.
