Side quests - QUEST 1: A Spoonful Of Whiskey | Side quests F3: Point Lookout Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Received from: Marguerite [Marguerite's Shack]

[#50]

Walkthrough: Marguerite's Shack can be found in the eastern section of the swamps, so you shouldn't have any major problems reaching that location. Be on a look out for tribals and smugglers and try to avoid larger groups by using alternative paths or a Stealth Boy. Approach the shack and use the main door to head inside. Locate Marguerite [#50] and talk to her. You'll find out that she needs some ingredients to create a cure, however if you have a high Medicine skill you can catch her lying and find out that her true intention is to manufacture moonshine. Notice that you've been given a single bottle of this specific. Before you agree to take part in this quest make an offer to repair Marguerite's still. Assuming you have a high Speech skill you can ask her to pay you 200 bottlecaps. Fixing the still is very easy. Once you've repaired it return to Marguerite for the cash and ask her about your main assignment.

There are going to be three different objects on the list of ingredients given to you by Marguerite. You will have to find three units of Yeast, six Fission Batteries and some Punga (20 Wild Punga or 10 Refined Punga Fruit). I would recommend that you start this quest as soon as you've arrived in Point Lookout, so you won't have to spend too much time searching for these items. The main reason is that most of the ingredients can be found while completing main quests. Don't forget that you'll have to make a lot of room in your inventory, however you will be allowed to deliver small parts of the shipment. As for yeast and batteries, the easiest way to find them would be to go to the Panic Room located beneath Calvert Mansion (after completing the last main quest) [#51]. Otherwise you might want to consider visiting one of the traders or going to the Blackhall Manor.

[#52]

As for the Punga fruits, you could try exploring the swamps and collecting items as you go, however I would recommend that you wait until you've completed the second main quest of the game. At the beginning of third main quest you'll gain access to Ark & Dove Cathedral and the tribals out there are going to be friendly. Explore the area around the cathedral to find refined Punga [#52]. Doing this will allow you to leave more room in your inventory for other items.

[#53]

Once you've collected all the ingredients report back to Marguerite and you'll find out that she needs a day to manufacture moonshine. Thankfully you won't have to wait that long, because there's a bed inside her shack and you'll be allowed to use it [#53]. Wake up 24 hours later and talk to Marguerite again. Aside from 300 bottlecaps you'll receive 6 bottles of moonshine. Additionally, you'll be allowed to ask her about a new shipment, however the still will have to remain idle for a days before you'll be allowed to use it again.
