Detailed walkthroughEdit
This quest does not become available until Rite of Passage is completed.
Start the quest by talking to Mitch in Far Harbor's bar, The Last Plank. He will ask the Sole Survivor to find his uncle and possibly bring him back to Far Harbor.
Travel to National Park Visitor's Center. Beware of the mines and traps near the entrances, but try not to disarm them since they will help later. Once inside, talk to Uncle Ken and tell him that Mitch asked to check on him. He will immediately warn of an imminent trapper attack. The Sole Survivor can use the workshop immediately afterwards, but resources are slim at the Visitor's Center.
Repel the attacking trappers. Once they are dead, talk to Uncle Ken again. With some difficult charisma checks he can be persuaded to go to Far Harbor; doing so will net more reward from Mitch, but keep in mind that Uncle Ken becomes a fully-fledged settler if he stays in his home. Regardless of the result, return to Mitch for payment. If the player character did not ask Uncle Ken to leave, he will remain in the settlement and Mitch will send two additional settlers there.
Quest stagesEdit
NotesEdit
- The attack on the Visitor's Center is triggered when the player character uses the workshop for the first time.
- Uncle Ken is marked as protected in the Creation Kit and as such he cannot be killed by enemy attacks. However, if he is hit by an attack from the Sole Survivor while downed, he will die and thus the quest will fail.
- Sleeping even an hour before speaking to Uncle Ken will result in being attacked shortly after, with no time to set up defenses. One may not have enough time to speak to him at all.
