Quest stages
Notes
- Once this quest is completed, Father's memorial will appear in the Institute, and Institute synths will patrol the Commonwealth's military checkpoints.
- If the player kills Father before his natural death, the player will become enemies with the Institute, and this quest will still complete.
- On page 128 of the Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide the quest icon is different, namely that of a radiant Institute side quest.
