It's pretty much "death by exile". Institute science staff isn't exactly "living from the land" type of people. I doubt they last very long on the surface. Institute refugees at least have you showing them the ropes.
There's a ghoul at the Slog named Allen. I went to the toy company's headquarters that makes the Giddyup Buttercup toy before going to the Slog. In the headquarters There's an item that if you bring it back to Allen, he goes through some dialog that he didn't go through when I first met him in other play throughs. There's also computer entries that give Allen a short back story. Allen will provide the rest of the story. It's a small detail, but interesting nonetheless.
Yeah, going through his side quest, knowing he was heading home to see his little girl when the bombs dropped (Marlene if I remember right?) & then finding out that the glowing ghoul in the crater is actually his daughter is heart breaking
@jubei7259 Well, for the sake of others who didn't know about this, but wanted to find it on their own. I was trying to be obscure as possible. Major LOL! But, it definitely pulls at the heart strings. It's an old game. Most people who were interested in playing it probably already found it. Well, I haven't found the girl yet. I found the information in Automatoy's headquarters and returned the item to Allen and saw the cut scene, but that's as far as I got.
Hancock's the perfect companion for this tbh, drugs and thugs is right up his alley and the thought of the mayor of Goodneighbor busting your side gig is hilarious
Holy crap! That's why Professor Scara exists? I always thought it was odd that this character gets an introduction when you find the Science center in Diamond City, but she had no dialogue as far as I knew after that. It always seemed odd.
Sole Survivor: "If all personal synths are as good-looking as you, I should get one for myself." Eve: **Full on Bethesda Face** Bro has been out in the wasteland for far too long.
I think that the man eating his own hand could be a reference to a short story by Stephen King called Sole Survivor. It's a story about a surgeon who also sells morphine on the side. He is shipwrecked on a desert island and surgical kit. He gets hungry enough that he starts eating his toes waiting for someone to come by and save him. Eventually it's his feet and then his legs. He just takes a bunch of morphine and cuts him off and starts eating it. Through the whole story he says he'll be okay as long as he has his hands because he's a surgeon. He doesn't get rescued and the last words of the story are "Ahh, ladyfingers." Insinuating that he's going to eat at least one of his hands.
I was going to mention this too, but you've given more detail than I remembered. Didn't he originally amputate his foot because it got injured and infection was starting to set in? (And then, being that hungry, cleaned it up and ate the non-infected parts, starting down the "eating yourself" road.)
@@tpm5002 I'm exactly the same, but you're one of the only other people who I've seen share that opinion. The short stories are very snappy and varied but never outstay their welcome, whereas I feel that King's long-form novels tend to go off the rails later on in the story.
There is a way to trigger the "Shipbreaker" quest that involves building new settlements at Dalton Farm and Echo Lake Lumber Yard. You have to raise the happiness of one or both (I forget which) settlements to 80+. Then one of the settlers tells you about the monster and the quest is triggered, I guess as a fail-safe against the character never meeting Old Longfellow. If you beat Shipbreaker this way Old Longfellow will still give you the weapon, usually he will accost you on Far Harbour Dock for the purposes.
That's actually just a radiant quest far harbor settlers can do. I got echo lumber mill and didnt kill the giant hermit crab out side and they all ran up to me saying they wanted to feast (quite literally what they said) and we hunted it. If a fog crawler which is what Shipbreaker is enters the area the settlers will ask you to assist.
@@spoof6023 In the version I am talking about one of my settlers at Dalton Farm (in this instance) told me specifically about Shipbreaker and asked me to get rid of it. There was no mention of any kind of feasting and the settler named Shipbreaker.
@@dwarf_nz483 That's weird, i've done far harbor a million times and done the radiant quests a million times cuz they always have wacky legendries come up but im also on survival so im forced to do it. maybe i just get unlucky cuz recently i just came across absolom alive for the first time in 6 years lmfao
I’ve logged hundreds AND HUNDREDS of hours in Fallout 4 over two games (one modded, one vanilla) where I’ve gone off the main story and just explored a LOT, and I LOVE that there are still so many things to discover.
5:14 Trish: Wait! I can tell you how to find Marow- Burning Truck: (EXPLODES) Trish: Agh! Burning Truck: Sorry, ghoul. You heard the man. No witnesses. 🤣
I hate that hit squad because it's so easy to accidentally shoot a guard or other Diamond City citizen in the gun fight which then gets everyone after you.
have a combined total of roughly ~600 hours in fallout 4 and i didnt know about a couple of these side quests. it really shows how good of a game this is. first video ive seen of yours, and its an awesome one. im now subscribed!
The guy eating his hand might be a reference to a Stephen King short story in which the protagonist is stranded on a deserted island and slowly eats himself to survive - starting with his foot.
I knew about the fridge kid but never found him in my 200+ hours of gameplay. My current playthrough (roughly 50 hours deep) I stumbled upon him and I’m now doing his quest. This time around I’ve been taking the time to actually listen to the dialogue and read what’s on the terminals and notes and stuff like that. It’s so much more fun playing it as a slow burn and taking time with everything.
You are correct. This game was meant to take your time with and explore and do side quests and read stuff there are alot of stories and background stuff you miss out on if you don't. I also recommend playing on survival if you don't already it's by far the best way to play this game. It's challenging and forces you to plan your routes and really makes settlements matter so much more.
Survival forces you to play that kind of way too. i've learned so much random lore its insane. Also the kid in the fridge is pretty easy to hit so im surprised you never did til now.
I absolutely agree. I take my time and really get into the role playing aspect of things. Upon starting a new main character I decide what kind of person they're going to be, and I start off pretty general but will begin to specialize in specific SPECIAL categories related to that kind of character after level 10. Once I'm locked into who my guy or gal is going to be within the game, I try to stick with it the best I can even if in similar situations as someone else I'd have made totally different choices. I take my time, soak in the game world and everything it has to offer. It's kinda fun to think "what would this guy do/say in the scenario if he's a crook and a con man, an aggressive meathead, or whatever else I've decided my character's personality will be.
There are several triggers or potential quest-givers for this one. In one playthrough, when visiting Echo Lake Lumber after establishing a settlement there, one of the settlers came up to me and began unloading some dialog about Shipbreaker & the radio signals. Turns out Shipbreaker can spawn in 3 different locations. In this case, it was to the northeast of Echo Lake Lumber near a nest of anglers. One of them was legendary & wore Shipbreaker down most of the way, making finishing the wounded crawler a bit anticlimactic.
Believe it or not its just radio signals and if your pipboy picks it up you're good to go. the Settler thing is just a radiant quest they have. i always try to rush for echo lumber and when its set up they wanna kill the giant hermit crab outside.
Pretty sure you can get Marowski Heist without anyone dying. You can even take them both on the heist with you. All you need to do is go in alone and convince Henry to stay off Paul's wife.
@@Renju366 Yes, you just need to pass a check. When talking to him outside you have an option to tell him you will go and talk to Henry alone. If you do that, you have an option to convince Henry to stop fucking Paul's wife. If you do both, you can take both Paul and Henry on the chem heist with you. I pretty much never do it this way, so I am not sure what happens next, but it is an option.
@@Renju366 yes, you can rob Nelson and the triggermen without losing anyone, but if you mean the quest with Marowski Heist photo, then no, Paul has to die for that quest, only then his wife gives you that photo
Been playing 4,over and over again, for years. I expected to know all the quests on your list, but was pleasantly surprised that I only knew a few. Well done.
Pretty good list. I have done all but one and I'm pretty sure I have done most of the Messages in a Bottle if not all. I personally have never done nor heard of The Marowski Heist in all of my play throughs and reading into quests I have missed. The closest I came to triggering The Marowski Heist was killing Paul (or him being offed during the fight) and talking to Darcy to tell her Paul is dead, but never actually going back to talk to her later on.
I have to mention that your video was very interesting and informative, during my 3000+ hours played I have been able to do some of these quests, although I reached them by a different path. I have to mention that I always play the so-called good person and therefore I haven't seen parts of the quest I've never done #3 and #4, probably because of that, and #2 had a different results. Thank you .
Solid list! Honorable mentions: "Reveille" - If you complete 'Fire Support' (The first BoS quest where you meet Danse at the Cambridge Police Station) prior to killing Kellogg (which almost everyone does since Cambridge is on the way to Diamond City) then you will not get this quest. *"Hunting the Hunter" - This quest is given by Dejen (vendor in the Far Harbor DLC), but only after completing "Hunter/Hunted" (the quest where you kill the courser), *AND "The Arrival" (Chase's quest). However, due to a bug, if you were EVER aligned with the Institute (i.e, completed "The Molecular Level", which just so happens to come directly after "Hunter/Hunted) then you cannot get this quest, even if you are later banished from the Institute. Thus this quest has to be completed EXACTLY between "Hunter/Hunted" and "The Molecular Level". "Amoral Combat" - This series of quests are just....really inconsistent...similar to "shipbreaker". It can only start after completing "The Grand Tour" (conquering all 5 theme parks in Nuka World), and never shows up if you've done "Open Season". It seems to have really weird triggers, but there are a few guides on UA-cam that you can look up on how to pretty consistently get it to trigger. There are some others a bit more tucked away, but those 3 come to mind as they have very specific/inconsistent triggers to acquire. Edit: Added in an additional prereq quest for "Hunting the Hunter" I had forgotten. Wow that quest is weird to start.
@TehSymbiote Glad its useful for you! I'm a super nerd when it comes to Fallout, and may or may not have created an entire spreadsheet to keep track of every single quest/collectible for my own 100% runs lol.
The quest reward for "Amoral Combat" is one of the best weapons in the entire game: "Aeternus", a gatling laser with infinite ammo. It has the "neverending" legendary effect; on most weapons this just means you don't need to reload but can still run out of ammo. But on the gatling laser, it gives you truly unlimited ammo.
I did almost every quest mentioned here, except for number 2, I played all the factions in order to have a full experience of the game, and my moral compass is like the dial of a Geiger counter, so that helps too.
i didn’t know about the Marowski heist in Diamond city. I have always completed the first part but stopped there. Thanks for pointing this out I’m planning to do the whole thing this playthrough.
I can think of a seventh and an eighth off the top of my head for you to possibly cover in another video... Down in the comments it was already mentioned about a ghoul in the Slog named Arlen Glass...he's in a small section of the Slog's buildings, found repairing a Buttercup toy. He needs more parts to finish it and tasks you to go to the Atomatoys warehouse to get them. If you also go to the corporate HQ of Atomatoys and find Arlen's terminal, you'll get a holotape that'll que an alternate ending to this quest that's so touching it's worth all the headache to get it. Secondly, if you go to the Mass Fusion building and bring along some Jet or UltraJet and a suit of power armor with a jetpack, you can get to the absolute highest part of the interior and find a terminal and a safe. The terminal documents the creation of "long fall boots" (I believe it's a nod to the "Portal" series, but can't be sure of that)...once equipped, your character has the same no damage from falls ability power armor provides without the power armor being needed. Wear the boots, take no fall damage; simple as that. :) The safe, of course, houses the boots.
8:25 If you mod in the photo before entering the taphouse for the first time, you can have the conversation with cook where you can sell him the photo for caps. You can also bargain with him for more caps, this unknowingly happened to me one time when I tried to do the quest. (This was on the PS4 edition)
Thanks for a terrific video. I don't know if this is frequently missed, but I only knew about "Here There Be Monsters" from reading about it on a website. Unique quest that's short but interesting.
The Marowski Heist can also go down the route where you talk to Cooke for Paul by yourself, cut the deal with Cooke for the chems deal, kill Cooke, convince Malcom that Marowski was the one who killed his son then kill Marowski for 600 caps after speech checks
But if you talk to Darcy first than Malcolm, you can convince him Marowsky killed his son. Than you've been given the quest to kill Marowsky, and earn some extra caps from Malcolm
upon replay several times i found the heist quest (stumbled upon the deal at the river) and the early memory den.seems like every time i play i find a new aspect. (absolute favorite easter egg was finding "Cheers")
There's also an unmarked quest called Quality Assurance in the General Atomics Factory that must be completed the first time you enter the Factory and must be completed before you leave there or it will bug and you will never be able to complete it and get into any of the locked rooms. There's also a room that's locked in the assembly line portion of the Factory that's impossible to get into because the computer to open it is destroyed an oversight by Bethesda no doubt
Guy’s i think many people don’t actually realise you can max out charisma with grape mentats and your charisma level 5. Before every persuasion dialogue just pop a grape mentat and you will be maxed out. Don’t spend the extra perk points ☝️
Nice list, I've been playing fallout 4 forever and never did Diamond City Blues in such a way to get that quest ending. Also never did the message in a bottle mini quests.
For number 5, the Marowski Heist and Diamond City Blues, it should be noted, that if you enter the bar to watch the fist fight, you should do so without any target highlighting mods on glasses or PA helmet upgrade. For some reason it bugs out and they will keep throwing punches for all eternity, and stranding the entire quest line.
It’s always fun to be sarcastic to the scientists at the Science Center while getting the bloatfly gland. On a random note, clearing the warehouses for Hancock is fun too ☺️
I never knew about how extensive the Marowski quest was. I knew you could persuade Malcolm that Marowski killed his son and then assassinate Morowski for like 400-600 caps, but never the photo thing. Crazy.
Shipbreaker was my longest individual boss fight in Far Harbor. We fought from one side of the island to the other, exterminating 3 locations of trappers along the way. I eventually trapped the beast in a trench where I spent almost every bit of ammunition I had on it.
I totally stumbled on the quest "The Great Hunt" that the Mariner gives you in Far Harbour. I was really searching for all the magazines on an old save file and talked to her for trading. Boom! New Quest!
Recently replayed the game again after doing a full Skyrim run, and playing them back to back like this makes you realize how truly SMALL Fallout 4 is,a nd how heavily they depended on settlement building to extend playtime. I mean if you take settlement building out of the game entirely apart from the bare minimum to advance the plot, and play the game for the quests and exploration, you'll probably have an empty quest log within a week. Meanwhile my Skyrim run lasted me a good 3 months, and those Hearthfire homes build themselves if you hire a steward, pay him some gold, and just exit/re-enter the overworld cell about 100 times. Spam Muffle while you do so to raise Illusion or something while you're at it. 5 minutes, for a fully built house with all the fixins. Honestly I would've preferred if Fallout 4 had a built-in prefab function where you zone off areas for settlement builds, like this is residential, this is farm, etc. Put it on the player to build the power and position static defenses, but let the settlers build their own shanty town. AND exporting your settlements to the next save. Biggest downside to Fallout 4 is A: the game is so short, and then you're left with B: a bunch of settlements to build that....just....eventually get forgotten about when you restart the game to experience the story again. And all that work: poof.
wow after years of playing fallout 4 i never found out how diamond city blues supposed clearance, i thought we'll always ended up having hitmen and the daughter targeting us and that's it, this video gave me satisfaction about that storyline
I'm surprised that the memory before you bring nick there wasn't the soul survivor's time in anchorage would have been interesting to have 3's operation Anchorage just with better graphics
Marowski heist was really something else. I only found about that last year. 03:41 it's possible to miss this and diamond city blues. If you refuse to help Paul to intimidate Cooke, he will go to confront Cooke on his own. After few days, Darcy will ask you to find out what happened. After you lean on Cooke, he'll reveal that Paul drew a gun on him and he had to kill him on self-defense.
Thats pretty funny you got pushed into the rest of this mission the same way I did in my first playthrough... Trish dying via vehicle explosion mid-freaking-conversation.
Plenty of quest I hadn't come across there, but shipbreaker I ran into before completing the main questline in far harbour. One of the scarest enemies I have encountered in fallout. I had no idea about the radio stuff or long fellow. As I ran off to explore at the start. Had just gone to this scary abandoned set of settlement houses, thought I had cleared a horde of ferals and then that guy jumped my under prepared character. It was a tough fought battle. I put in up there with Dunwich Borers 1st time which was played at night near the witching hour. F4 is best enjoyed when enemies are way stronger not when your overleveled.
Only missed one of these actually. That Marowski quest is pretty specific to trigger. I feel most people just assumed the lab was the end of that questline.
Personally, whenever I start a new play through, I help the Minutemen go straight to vault 81 so that I can get curie Discover diamond city but don’t enter and then go straight to good neighbor for Hancock and finally, I go looking for the combat zone and get cait as a follower
If you do want to kill Malcom for Marowski, it might be good to wait till you complete The Devil's Due quest, which is giving the deathclaw egg to Mr handy as it talks to Malcom during the quest dialogue and might bug the quest out if he is dead.
wow that marowski quest.. never saw it before! I did get all the stuff from the containers in qasmoke once.. and there was a picture there (the one you showed) which prompted me to talk to malcolm in damond city.. but never did much after that great video _!_
Damn, around 2400 hrs in this game and yet never knew about that Diamond Blues ending, I always use to persuade Malcolm that it was Morowski who killed his son and then use to make additional 600 caps by killing Morowski but didn't know this whole Paul's wife had a photo plot existed and that you can kill Malcolm, pretty cool!!
So basically #1 is the earliest point of no return, #2 is IF you can get the husband to come for you (still have yet to get him to do so), while the BOS and Institute ones are later on, and finally #5 and #6 are whenever more or less
You CAN trigger Henry Cook to be bribed by the photo. Here's how: When Paul meets you in the marketplace, IGNORE him, dont help him. He then goes to Henry himself and dies. You basicly skip Diqmond City Blues by doing this but you get the quest from Darcy. And i belive Henry can be talked to after all this to do Diamond City Blues👍 cheers
Coincidentally, I just did an Institute loyalist playthrough and I turned in the traitor. There's also some radiant-type quests to rescue captures synths.
Idk about you guys but I didn’t discover the side quest, “Pull the Plug” until late in the game. If you’ve never discovered “Thicket Excavations”, you probably haven’t done it. You basically just drain a flooded a quarry.
You can just use a plasma grenade or any other grenade if u have explosive quirk u can throw it from a distance at correct place to kill then Paul gets chems u get 800 money and Henry leaves

I think that the man eating his own hand could be a reference to a short story by Stephen King called Sole Survivor.
It's a story about a surgeon who also sells morphine on the side.
He is shipwrecked on a desert island and surgical kit. He gets hungry enough that he starts eating his toes waiting for someone to come by and save him. Eventually it's his feet and then his legs. He just takes a bunch of morphine and cuts him off and starts eating it. Through the whole story he says he'll be okay as long as he has his hands because he's a surgeon. He doesn't get rescued and the last words of the story are "Ahh, ladyfingers." Insinuating that he's going to eat at least one of his hands.
I was going to mention this too, but you've given more detail than I remembered. Didn't he originally amputate his foot because it got injured and infection was starting to set in? (And then, being that hungry, cleaned it up and ate the non-infected parts, starting down the "eating yourself" road.)
ladyfingers. they taste just like ladyfingers!

@@tpm5002 I'm exactly the same, but you're one of the only other people who I've seen share that opinion. The short stories are very snappy and varied but never outstay their welcome, whereas I feel that King's long-form novels tend to go off the rails later on in the story.
There is a way to trigger the "Shipbreaker" quest that involves building new settlements at Dalton Farm and Echo Lake Lumber Yard. You have to raise the happiness of one or both (I forget which) settlements to 80+. Then one of the settlers tells you about the monster and the quest is triggered, I guess as a fail-safe against the character never meeting Old Longfellow. If you beat Shipbreaker this way Old Longfellow will still give you the weapon, usually he will accost you on Far Harbour Dock for the purposes.
That's actually just a radiant quest far harbor settlers can do. I got echo lumber mill and didnt kill the giant hermit crab out side and they all ran up to me saying they wanted to feast (quite literally what they said) and we hunted it. If a fog crawler which is what Shipbreaker is enters the area the settlers will ask you to assist.
@@spoof6023 In the version I am talking about one of my settlers at Dalton Farm (in this instance) told me specifically about Shipbreaker and asked me to get rid of it. There was no mention of any kind of feasting and the settler named Shipbreaker.
I had the Echo Lumber Mill settler walk up to me. I happened to have Longfellow with me at the time too.
@@philipdispenza In my case I did not. In fact I didn't even have him as a companion.
@@dwarf_nz483 That's weird, i've done far harbor a million times and done the radiant quests a million times cuz they always have wacky legendries come up but im also on survival so im forced to do it. maybe i just get unlucky cuz recently i just came across absolom alive for the first time in 6 years lmfao
I’ve logged hundreds AND HUNDREDS of hours in Fallout 4 over two games (one modded, one vanilla) where I’ve gone off the main story and just explored a LOT, and I LOVE that there are still so many things to discover.
5:14
Trish: Wait! I can tell you how to find Marow-
Burning Truck: (EXPLODES)
Trish: Agh!
Burning Truck: Sorry, ghoul. You heard the man. No witnesses. 🤣
I straight up kill Malcom after that hit squad he sends on you
I hate that hit squad because it's so easy to accidentally shoot a guard or other Diamond City citizen in the gun fight which then gets everyone after you.
have a combined total of roughly ~600 hours in fallout 4 and i didnt know about a couple of these side quests. it really shows how good of a game this is.
first video ive seen of yours, and its an awesome one. im now subscribed!
11:58 "If all personal Synths are as good looking as you, I should get one for myself." Enter CVRIE... with the French accent to boot... lol
The guy eating his hand might be a reference to a Stephen King short story in which the protagonist is stranded on a deserted island and slowly eats himself to survive - starting with his foot.
I have spent 500 hours in Fallout 4. Only stumbled upon the Shipbreaker out of these secret quests.
I'm surprised because I've found all of these, and most of them were years ago
I've got thousands of hours in this game, and I've never got Shipbreaker to spawn until about a week ago, during my latest playthrough.
@@MrKbonez for me, that quest popped up when I was traveling with Old Longfellow near the Nucleus. Ooh and Old Longfellow already in maxed affinity
When you don´t get shipbreaker by chance , it´s allways linked to Longfellow´s affinity ;)
I knew about the fridge kid but never found him in my 200+ hours of gameplay. My current playthrough (roughly 50 hours deep) I stumbled upon him and I’m now doing his quest. This time around I’ve been taking the time to actually listen to the dialogue and read what’s on the terminals and notes and stuff like that. It’s so much more fun playing it as a slow burn and taking time with everything.
You are correct. This game was meant to take your time with and explore and do side quests and read stuff there are alot of stories and background stuff you miss out on if you don't. I also recommend playing on survival if you don't already it's by far the best way to play this game. It's challenging and forces you to plan your routes and really makes settlements matter so much more.
Survival forces you to play that kind of way too. i've learned so much random lore its insane. Also the kid in the fridge is pretty easy to hit so im surprised you never did til now.
I absolutely agree. I take my time and really get into the role playing aspect of things. Upon starting a new main character I decide what kind of person they're going to be, and I start off pretty general but will begin to specialize in specific SPECIAL categories related to that kind of character after level 10. Once I'm locked into who my guy or gal is going to be within the game, I try to stick with it the best I can even if in similar situations as someone else I'd have made totally different choices. I take my time, soak in the game world and everything it has to offer. It's kinda fun to think "what would this guy do/say in the scenario if he's a crook and a con man, an aggressive meathead, or whatever else I've decided my character's personality will be.
So... how do you start Shipbreaker? Take Old Longfellow as a companion. He's the quest giver and wants to be taken along on the hunt for it.
the easiest way to start it is Take oldlongfellow as a companion,do quests with him until you reach max affinity with him
@Triaxx2 i didn't need him at all, just take a moment to explore the lake were the Nucleus is, and you will eventually find Shipbreaker.
same i just needed to travel to different locations in far harbor then i got the signal
There are several triggers or potential quest-givers for this one. In one playthrough, when visiting Echo Lake Lumber after establishing a settlement there, one of the settlers came up to me and began unloading some dialog about Shipbreaker & the radio signals.
Turns out Shipbreaker can spawn in 3 different locations. In this case, it was to the northeast of Echo Lake Lumber near a nest of anglers. One of them was legendary & wore Shipbreaker down most of the way, making finishing the wounded crawler a bit anticlimactic.
Believe it or not its just radio signals and if your pipboy picks it up you're good to go. the Settler thing is just a radiant quest they have. i always try to rush for echo lumber and when its set up they wanna kill the giant hermit crab outside.
Pretty sure you can get Marowski Heist without anyone dying. You can even take them both on the heist with you. All you need to do is go in alone and convince Henry to stay off Paul's wife.
You mean it's possible to get that quest even without Paul dying?
@@Renju366 Yes, you just need to pass a check. When talking to him outside you have an option to tell him you will go and talk to Henry alone. If you do that, you have an option to convince Henry to stop fucking Paul's wife. If you do both, you can take both Paul and Henry on the chem heist with you. I pretty much never do it this way, so I am not sure what happens next, but it is an option.
@@Renju366 yes, you can rob Nelson and the triggermen without losing anyone, but if you mean the quest with Marowski Heist photo, then no, Paul has to die for that quest, only then his wife gives you that photo
@@faridagasiyev7042 Yes, I actually meant the Marowski Heist quest. Thanks for clarifying that.
I love that Piper blames you for the random explosion lol
*Piper admires you, Piper hates that* 😂
Been playing 4,over and over again, for years. I expected to know all the quests on your list, but was pleasantly surprised that I only knew a few. Well done.
Pretty good list. I have done all but one and I'm pretty sure I have done most of the Messages in a Bottle if not all. I personally have never done nor heard of The Marowski Heist in all of my play throughs and reading into quests I have missed. The closest I came to triggering The Marowski Heist was killing Paul (or him being offed during the fight) and talking to Darcy to tell her Paul is dead, but never actually going back to talk to her later on.
I have to mention that your video was very interesting and informative, during my 3000+ hours played I have been able to do some of these quests, although I reached them by a different path. I have to mention that I always play the so-called good person and therefore I haven't seen parts of the quest I've never done #3 and #4, probably because of that, and #2 had a different results. Thank you .
Solid list!
Honorable mentions:
"Reveille" - If you complete 'Fire Support' (The first BoS quest where you meet Danse at the Cambridge Police Station) prior to killing Kellogg (which almost everyone does since Cambridge is on the way to Diamond City) then you will not get this quest.
*"Hunting the Hunter" - This quest is given by Dejen (vendor in the Far Harbor DLC), but only after completing "Hunter/Hunted" (the quest where you kill the courser), *AND "The Arrival" (Chase's quest). However, due to a bug, if you were EVER aligned with the Institute (i.e, completed "The Molecular Level", which just so happens to come directly after "Hunter/Hunted) then you cannot get this quest, even if you are later banished from the Institute. Thus this quest has to be completed EXACTLY between "Hunter/Hunted" and "The Molecular Level".
"Amoral Combat" - This series of quests are just....really inconsistent...similar to "shipbreaker". It can only start after completing "The Grand Tour" (conquering all 5 theme parks in Nuka World), and never shows up if you've done "Open Season". It seems to have really weird triggers, but there are a few guides on UA-cam that you can look up on how to pretty consistently get it to trigger.
There are some others a bit more tucked away, but those 3 come to mind as they have very specific/inconsistent triggers to acquire.
Edit: Added in an additional prereq quest for "Hunting the Hunter" I had forgotten. Wow that quest is weird to start.
Hey, thank you! I had to screenshot this for my new PS5 playthrough.
@TehSymbiote Glad its useful for you! I'm a super nerd when it comes to Fallout, and may or may not have created an entire spreadsheet to keep track of every single quest/collectible for my own 100% runs lol.
@@dallasdrotts4907I have a feeling that if the institute had morals, you’d be right at home there
The quest reward for "Amoral Combat" is one of the best weapons in the entire game: "Aeternus", a gatling laser with infinite ammo. It has the "neverending" legendary effect; on most weapons this just means you don't need to reload but can still run out of ammo. But on the gatling laser, it gives you truly unlimited ammo.
@@dallasdrotts4907 you're awesome. Good stuff!
This is awesome. Just restarted FO4 after years of not playing. Going to do all of these. Appreciate the video.
I did almost every quest mentioned here, except for number 2, I played all the factions in order to have a full experience of the game, and my moral compass is like the dial of a Geiger counter, so that helps too.
i did shipbreaker in my first playtrough i thought it was a normal mission, scared the shit outta me lol
Im always blown away at the amount of hours that has to be put in to complete this level of detail in explanation! Always a awesome job!
i didn’t know about the Marowski heist in Diamond city. I have always completed the first part but stopped there. Thanks for pointing this out I’m planning to do the whole thing this playthrough.
I can think of a seventh and an eighth off the top of my head for you to possibly cover in another video... Down in the comments it was already mentioned about a ghoul in the Slog named Arlen Glass...he's in a small section of the Slog's buildings, found repairing a Buttercup toy. He needs more parts to finish it and tasks you to go to the Atomatoys warehouse to get them. If you also go to the corporate HQ of Atomatoys and find Arlen's terminal, you'll get a holotape that'll que an alternate ending to this quest that's so touching it's worth all the headache to get it.
Secondly, if you go to the Mass Fusion building and bring along some Jet or UltraJet and a suit of power armor with a jetpack, you can get to the absolute highest part of the interior and find a terminal and a safe. The terminal documents the creation of "long fall boots" (I believe it's a nod to the "Portal" series, but can't be sure of that)...once equipped, your character has the same no damage from falls ability power armor provides without the power armor being needed. Wear the boots, take no fall damage; simple as that. :) The safe, of course, houses the boots.
8:25 If you mod in the photo before entering the taphouse for the first time, you can have the conversation with cook where you can sell him the photo for caps. You can also bargain with him for more caps, this unknowingly happened to me one time when I tried to do the quest. (This was on the PS4 edition)
Wow-u got me! Professor Scara!!! I always suspected she had a hidden quest. Great vid!!!!
The depth of this game never ceases to amaze me. No matter how many hours I play I still find new goodies.
12:15 that synth got some cake
Thanks for a terrific video. I don't know if this is frequently missed, but I only knew about "Here There Be Monsters" from reading about it on a website. Unique quest that's short but interesting.
The Marowski Heist can also go down the route where you talk to Cooke for Paul by yourself, cut the deal with Cooke for the chems deal, kill Cooke, convince Malcom that Marowski was the one who killed his son then kill Marowski for 600 caps after speech checks
If you keep Cooke alive his daughter comes to diamond city to look for him
Liam being the double agent actually was a surprise for me in my first playthrough as I never found the Railroad.
But if you talk to Darcy first than Malcolm, you can convince him Marowsky killed his son. Than you've been given the quest to kill Marowsky, and earn some extra caps from Malcolm
The number 1 quest is given to you by Longfellow once his loyalty to you is max or if you randomly encounter it.
😂 its comical the truck blows up just as she was going to start talking.
F... me sideways! After 2000 hours of F4 I had no idea there were those bottles out there. Thanks man
upon replay several times i found the heist quest (stumbled upon the deal at the river) and the early memory den.seems like every time i play i find a new aspect. (absolute favorite easter egg was finding "Cheers")
The Memory Den quest is impossible to miss since it triggers as soon as you walk into the middle of the room.
I like to leave a few well-placed mines at the spot of the chem deal beforehand. They make everything much easier.
There's also an unmarked quest called Quality Assurance in the General Atomics Factory that must be completed the first time you enter the Factory and must be completed before you leave there or it will bug and you will never be able to complete it and get into any of the locked rooms. There's also a room that's locked in the assembly line portion of the Factory that's impossible to get into because the computer to open it is destroyed an oversight by Bethesda no doubt
Guy’s i think many people don’t actually realise you can max out charisma with grape mentats and your charisma level 5. Before every persuasion dialogue just pop a grape mentat and you will be maxed out. Don’t spend the extra perk points ☝️
Yeah but unless you've played the game. Few times before how are you supposed to know which interactions have a charisma check??
@@dylanparks247 i just go on with the conversation then save when there is a charisma check load it up and pop a grape mentat
Thanks for the work with those quests.
Btw, 11:29 gives me so hard Westworld-vibes.
Paul doesn't need to die...
I told him I'd go alone to talk to Henry and completely cut him out from even being told about the Chem deal altogether.
Nice list, I've been playing fallout 4 forever and never did Diamond City Blues in such a way to get that quest ending. Also never did the message in a bottle mini quests.
For number 5, the Marowski Heist and Diamond City Blues, it should be noted, that if you enter the bar to watch the fist fight, you should do so without any target highlighting mods on glasses or PA helmet upgrade. For some reason it bugs out and they will keep throwing punches for all eternity, and stranding the entire quest line.
It’s always fun to be sarcastic to the scientists at the Science Center while getting the bloatfly gland.
On a random note, clearing the warehouses for Hancock is fun too ☺️
I literally played the dream machine quest organically a week ago!!! I'm glad that's all there was and I saw it all at least
I never knew about how extensive the Marowski quest was. I knew you could persuade Malcolm that Marowski killed his son and then assassinate Morowski for like 400-600 caps, but never the photo thing. Crazy.
Shipbreaker was my longest individual boss fight in Far Harbor. We fought from one side of the island to the other, exterminating 3 locations of trappers along the way. I eventually trapped the beast in a trench where I spent almost every bit of ammunition I had on it.
After all these years, allthose playthroughs, and I never knew about these! Looks like another playthrough coming! 😊
I totally stumbled on the quest "The Great Hunt" that the Mariner gives you in Far Harbour. I was really searching for all the magazines on an old save file and talked to her for trading. Boom! New Quest!
Recently replayed the game again after doing a full Skyrim run, and playing them back to back like this makes you realize how truly SMALL Fallout 4 is,a nd how heavily they depended on settlement building to extend playtime. I mean if you take settlement building out of the game entirely apart from the bare minimum to advance the plot, and play the game for the quests and exploration, you'll probably have an empty quest log within a week. Meanwhile my Skyrim run lasted me a good 3 months, and those Hearthfire homes build themselves if you hire a steward, pay him some gold, and just exit/re-enter the overworld cell about 100 times. Spam Muffle while you do so to raise Illusion or something while you're at it. 5 minutes, for a fully built house with all the fixins.
Honestly I would've preferred if Fallout 4 had a built-in prefab function where you zone off areas for settlement builds, like this is residential, this is farm, etc. Put it on the player to build the power and position static defenses, but let the settlers build their own shanty town. AND exporting your settlements to the next save. Biggest downside to Fallout 4 is A: the game is so short, and then you're left with B: a bunch of settlements to build that....just....eventually get forgotten about when you restart the game to experience the story again. And all that work: poof.
wow after years of playing fallout 4 i never found out how diamond city blues supposed clearance, i thought we'll always ended up having hitmen and the daughter targeting us and that's it, this video gave me satisfaction about that storyline
That whole mission with paul and cooke was bugged for me. Paul, cooke, and trish all survived and paul didn’t ask for a dime
These were actually good. Thank you.
I'm surprised that the memory before you bring nick there wasn't the soul survivor's time in anchorage would have been interesting to have 3's operation Anchorage just with better graphics
I remember hearing a head cannon somewhere That the person we play as in the Anchorage DLC is a fictionalized version of the soul survivor
Marowski heist was really something else. I only found about that last year.
03:41 it's possible to miss this and diamond city blues. If you refuse to help Paul to intimidate Cooke, he will go to confront Cooke on his own.
After few days, Darcy will ask you to find out what happened. After you lean on Cooke, he'll reveal that Paul drew a gun on him and he had to kill him on self-defense.
Thats pretty funny you got pushed into the rest of this mission the same way I did in my first playthrough... Trish dying via vehicle explosion mid-freaking-conversation.
Plenty of quest I hadn't come across there, but shipbreaker I ran into before completing the main questline in far harbour. One of the scarest enemies I have encountered in fallout. I had no idea about the radio stuff or long fellow. As I ran off to explore at the start. Had just gone to this scary abandoned set of settlement houses, thought I had cleared a horde of ferals and then that guy jumped my under prepared character. It was a tough fought battle. I put in up there with Dunwich Borers 1st time which was played at night near the witching hour. F4 is best enjoyed when enemies are way stronger not when your overleveled.
If you ever want institute armor paint job, you MUST win on the insititute side the first time you win. Otherwise, you're locked out.
Only missed one of these actually. That Marowski quest is pretty specific to trigger. I feel most people just assumed the lab was the end of that questline.
Theres a ghoul in a side room whos obsessed with the silver shroud and gives you a side quest easily missed
It also triggers when you get close to Goodneighbor via a radio signal you can tune to.
Personally, whenever I start a new play through, I help the Minutemen go straight to vault 81 so that I can get curie Discover diamond city but don’t enter and then go straight to good neighbor for Hancock and finally, I go looking for the combat zone and get cait as a follower
If you do want to kill Malcom for Marowski, it might be good to wait till you complete The Devil's Due quest, which is giving the deathclaw egg to Mr handy as it talks to Malcom during the quest dialogue and might bug the quest out if he is dead.
wow that marowski quest.. never saw it before!
I did get all the stuff from the containers in qasmoke once.. and there was a picture there (the one you showed) which prompted me to talk to malcolm in damond city.. but never did much after that
great video _!_
`22:40 In that case, wouldn't it be a good idea to bring along Aqua Boy/Girl?
Fallout 3: finding your dad
Fallout 4: finding your son
Fallout New Vegas: WHO THE FUCK SHOT ΜΕ
Almost as if somebody with superior game making skills wrote New Vegas
Damn, around 2400 hrs in this game and yet never knew about that Diamond Blues ending, I always use to persuade Malcolm that it was Morowski who killed his son and then use to make additional 600 caps by killing Morowski but didn't know this whole Paul's wife had a photo plot existed and that you can kill Malcolm, pretty cool!!
So basically #1 is the earliest point of no return, #2 is IF you can get the husband to come for you (still have yet to get him to do so), while the BOS and Institute ones are later on, and finally #5 and #6 are whenever more or less
You CAN trigger Henry Cook to be bribed by the photo. Here's how:
When Paul meets you in the marketplace, IGNORE him, dont help him. He then goes to Henry himself and dies. You basicly skip Diqmond City Blues by doing this but you get the quest from Darcy. And i belive Henry can be talked to after all this to do Diamond City Blues👍 cheers
After meeting Paul in the market, wait for a few days outside of Diamond City. Then go to Henry's bar
If you come in from the north and pick up the Silver Shroud signal first it'll take you to Goodneighbor earlier.
crazy how many of these i managed to complete without even know what specifically needed to be done lol i was just playing.
Coincidentally, I just did an Institute loyalist playthrough and I turned in the traitor. There's also some radiant-type quests to rescue captures synths.
I just went up the shore north of longfellows cabin and randomly found the radio signal for shipbreaker early in the dlc.
Shipbreaker is a beast. I fired all my 7 mininukes on that thing and it still had half its health left. That was a serious fight.
Love the video thanks for taking the time to research and create!
Idk about you guys but I didn’t discover the side quest, “Pull the Plug” until late in the game. If you’ve never discovered “Thicket Excavations”, you probably haven’t done it. You basically just drain a flooded a quarry.
26:00 I actually did that one. I finished doing the Vault Quest on the island. And out of nowhere, I get the got that quest.
I;m sure someone mentioned it in comments. If Henry Cooke disappears/dead Colette Cooke shows up sparking a little more fun.
Dude that's crazy and I'm thinking about the nelson task
You can just use a plasma grenade or any other grenade if u have explosive quirk u can throw it from a distance at correct place to kill then Paul gets chems u get 800 money and Henry leaves
Shipbreaker is given to you by longfellow after you’ve traveled with him long enough.
Is it weird I still haven’t come across the Railroad outside a holotape named “Join the Railroad”?
Huh, didn't expect to see quests that actually quite easy to miss instead of "WoW I pLayed For 7 YEARS and didn't know this existed!!" kind of video.
