Quick walkthroughEdit

Detailed walkthroughEdit

Go to Priblos' Curios northwest of Summersville and find:

• 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.

Go to the delivery site and investigate Janelle's camp (it is north of Hornwright air purifier site 04, just off the main road). Follow the blood spatters and the 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 Janelle's camp.
• Janelle's revenge - Holotape, found next to Janelle's skeleton, east of her camp.

Clear out the Beast and the Beast wolf pups which appear to attack you.

Quest stagesEdit

Stage	Status	Description	Log Entry
?		Go to Priblo's Curios	According to the missing persons poster, Janelle went to one of her hunting camps and Raymond's delivery truck is missing. If I can figure out where the truck or camp is, I might be able to locate the Priblos. My best bet is to start at their business.
?		Search Priblos' Curios for directions to the hunting camp	The shop, Priblo's Curios, is still basically intact. Maybe I can figure out where Raymond's truck went, or where Janelle's camp is located.
?		Go to the delivery site	I found a map showing where Raymond may have driven to with his truck. The camp should be nearby. If I go to his truck, I might find Raymond at least.
?		Find Janelle's hunting camp	Raymond's truck is here, but he's not. He probably went into the woods to find Janelle's hunting camp.
?		Investigate the area around the camp	Janelle's camp looks abandoned, like they never returned but intended to. That's not a good sign. I should try to look around for them, just in case.
?		Locate Janelle
?		Locate Raymond
?		Search for the cave
?		Kill the "Beast of Beckley"	Janelle and Raymond are dead. They were shredded by the original "Beast of Beckley" probably, but I've taken care of its descendents at least.
