The following is based on information from Fallout Shelter or Fallout Shelter Online. |
By Hook or by Cook is an overseer quest and the final part of the Food, Glowrious Food multi-stage questline in Fallout Shelter.
Walkthrough
The vault dwellers travel to a one-room Red Rocket to confront the Cook and two members of the Cook's gang, who all wear white officer outfits, presumably because of the resemblance to a chef's uniform in real life.
After a brief exchange of dialog, the Cook's group becomes hostile. The Cook will turn out to be a raider boss, as indicated by a skull beside the health bar. They will be armed with a flamethrower, butcher knife and kitchen knife.
A Commander uniform will be awarded at the end of the fight. A butcher knife as well as a random legendary junk can be looted from the room.
Dialogue
Opening dialogue | Dweller response | Character response |
---|---|---|
Egads! The Dwellers found us! Well, you may have survived my cooking... |
Bad food, bad service... I give this place one star. | That's still indicative of a quality establishment! |
You cooked your last meal, chef. | That was boeuf bourguignon, and it was spectacular! | |
You'll pay for using rolled fondant on all your cakes! | You try making marzipan without any almonds! |

Behind the scenes
The title of this quest is very likely a reference to the centuries' old saying, "by hook or by crook," meaning "by any means necessary."
