Walkthrough: The easiest way to reach Coastal Grotto is to begin your journey near Ark & Dove Cathedral. It's also important that you check your ammo supplies before proceeding with this assignment, because you'll need at least a dozen of typical clips to succeed. Once you've reached the cliff head down by making small jumps and sliding down. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't get distracted by any monsters. Find an entrance marked with a number of lights [#58]. Open the door quickly before mirelurks or other hostiles appear near your position.

There's only one main passageway inside the cave, so you can't really get lost. Turn right after you notice a ghoul in the distance and enter a small room. Examine the table to find Plik's journal [#59]. Reading the contents of the journal will result in the main character receiving a new perk called Ghoul Ecology. There's also a mininuke on the table, as well as medical supplies. Return to the main corridor and talk to Plik. Ask him about the details of the safari and agree to his fee (sadly - you can't barter) of 1000 bottlecaps. Open a nearby gate to get to Plik's Safari.

Take your time to familiarize yourself with the surroundings, because the ghouls won't appear unless you're ready. Notice that you'll receive help from two other hunters. It'll be a good idea to look after them once the safari has started, however you won't receive any penalties if they die. If you have some spare landmines in your inventory it would be a good idea to place them around the central platform. Make sure that all the mines are far away from each other, so one explosion won't trigger any other mines. Press a large button when you're ready to take on the ghouls [#60].

You'll have to keep defending yourself against ghoul attacks for about three minutes. I would recommend that you start using a plasma rifle or something better, so in most cases it'll only take a single hit for a ghoul to die. Having a perk that regenerates your action points for each successful hit may also prove to be very helpful, because you'll be more efficient while using V.A.T.S. system. Each time you attack the ghouls focus on eliminating the strongest individuals [#61], because your colleagues will be to weak to do that. Don't forget to heal and to reload your gun after each wave of attacks. Explore the area once the battle has ended and don't forget to loot bodies of your fellow hunters if they won't make it.

You may return to the main corridor via the same door. Talk to Plik [#62] and he'll reward you for surviving your first safari with a unique type of an axe. You can now ask the ghoul about taking part in a new safari, however he'll respond that it'll take him a few days to round up new feral ghouls. You can also murder Plik in cold blood and loot his body. Doing this would allow you to get your hands on 1800 bottlecaps (including 1000 which belonged to you), as well as on an interesting body armor.
