The Parsons State Insane Asylum is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Background
The Parsons State Insane Asylum was built by the Cabot family. It was used to house the weak of mind from the Commonwealth. Subterranean rooms were constructed to house the most difficult cases, including Lorenzo Cabot.[1]
Layout
A multi-level building. There are a number of locked doors and safes to be found.
Inhabitants
Notable loot
- Charisma bobblehead - On Jack Cabot's office desk, close to elevator, administration area.
- A Syringer rifle - In the last room on the left at the end of the block of cells in the basement (before reaching Lorenzo by dropping down through a square hole full of exposed rebar in the floor).
- It is possible to acquire a deathclaw gauntlet from Lefty; other raiders at this location may also have one.
- Mysterious serum - Lefty has four syringes, and three are on a table near Lorenzo.
- Overdue book - There are potentially two in the filing cabinets in the Control Room. Check the loose drawer on top of the cabinets by jumping up a bit, where one book may be found, otherwise hidden out of view. Another book found in the small room access through the short brick tunnel out of the Control room towards the lift used to enter. Also in an open filing cabinet to the west side (left on entering).
- Massachusetts Surgical Journal issue #1 (+2% damage dealt to limbs) - On a table in Lorenzo Cabot's cell.
- A Vault-Tec lunchbox - On a shelf to the left of the ramp in the room just before the control room. There is another on the end of a bench on the right side of the first raider-filled hallway.
Related quests
Notes
- The interior can only be accessed during the mission The Secret of Cabot House. To begin this quest line the player character must meet with Edward Deegan, who spawns at Bunker Hill, or travel directly to Cabot house and pass two speech checks to be allowed inside. After talking with Edward at Bunker Hill, he will give the player character an objective to meet Jack Cabot at the Cabot house. Following a talk with Edward and Jack, they will give the quest Special Delivery. After the completion of Special Delivery, more quests are given until the quest The Secret of Cabot House is given which is the last quest in the chain.
- In one of the cells there are four question marks, one straight line, and two squiggly lines chalked on the wall along with the message "HELP ME".
- Wooden blocks forming the appropriate word CRAZY can be found on a wooden bench in the corridor leading east, when entering the main door.
- Checking Jack Cabot's terminal will show logs of patients that are pop culture references. The first entrance is in reference to Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange.
- The corpses of dead raiders and mercenaries killed around the entrance during the quest here do not despawn even after many days have passed. On returning there are often one or two raiders outside the entrance.
- You may be given this location on your Pip-Boy by a settler at Greentop Nursery. As you approach a settler, they say "the Parsons State Insane Asylum should be avoided". The map marker is then added to your Pip-Boy.
Appearances
The Parsons State Insane Asylum appears only in Fallout 4.
Behind the scenes
- The Parsons State Insane Asylum is based on the real life Danvers State Insane Asylum. This can also be considered another H.P. Lovecraft reference, as Danvers State Insane Asylum is mentioned by name in at least 2 of his works. Furthermore, H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham Sanitarium was believed to be inspired by Danvers State, which in turn was the inspiration for Batman's Arkham Asylum. Danvers State has appeared in at least one other video game, it was a level in 2004's Painkiller.
- The patients records found on Jack's office terminal show that the asylum once held a vigilante named "Nightwar", a woman only who wore black leather, and a ten year old murderer who was always laughing. This might be a reference to the characters of Batman, Catwoman, and the Joker.
- The "Abremalin field" imprisoning Lorenzo appears to be a reference to a historical occult work, The Book of Abramelin.
