Detailed walkthrough
The quest begins upon reading a note, which can be found in several locations:
- On the bulletin board in Calvin van Lowe's room in Van Lowe Taxidermy.
- Pinned to the bottom of a bulletin board in Lewisburg Station.
- On the counter at the police department in Monongah.
Head to Priblos' Curios, a house located northwest of Summersville, on the other side of the river. Once at the location, several items have to be inspected to progress the quest further:
- Invoice 188002: Smarty's Traps n' Bait - In the mailbox.
- Catalog of Curios - On a side table.
- The Beast of Beckley - On a crate next to a brahmin skull.
- Letter to Calvin requested - On a low bench beside a Nuka-Cherry.
- Delivery route map - In a footlocker in the back of a truck.
The next step involves travelling to the delivery site in the Ash Heap and investigating Janelle's camp, which is located just north of Hornwright air purifier site 04. Follow the blood spatters and find the following clues:
- Note for Raymond - Note, on a table in Janelle's camp, beside a fish with a Bowie knife stuck through it.
- A broken trap from Smarty's Traps n' Bait.
- A cooler containing Smarty's Big Critter bait, found next to Raymond's skeleton, east of the camp.
- Janelle's revenge - Holotape, found next to Janelle's skeleton, east of the camp.
Afte finding the last clue, the Beast of Beckley, a legendary albino wolf and her pups will appear on the small hill, and start attacking the Vault dweller. Once dealt with the Beast, the quest completes and thus solves another of the mysteries, that Calvin racked his mind over while trying to find the fabled Sheepsquatch.
