Quick walkthrough [ ]

• Talk to Plik .
• Pay the high rollers fee.
• Enter the hunting area.
• Survive the onslaught of feral ghouls.
• Return to Plik and collect your prize.

Detailed walkthrough [ ]

When you enter the coastal grotto , continue down the "hallway" and speak to a ghoul named Plik . He offers you a chance to join his small hunting club, but only if you pay the steep entry fee of 1,000 caps. Pay the fee, and ask to join in the next safari. Enter the door behind Plik, and meet your colleagues for this hunting excursion, Jacob Humboldt and Rip Smithy . When you are all set to begin the hunt, flip the switch on the block in the center of the room.

You'll have to fight several waves of leveled feral ghouls , ranging from swamp ghouls to glowing ones . Jacob and Rip are hardly worthy allies, and will usually perish during the onslaught. Use anything at your disposal to live through the obscene amount of enemies, whether it be traps, sheer firepower or a combination of both. After surviving return to Plik and collect your prize.

Quest stages [ ]

• The Ghoul Ecology perk can be obtained by reading Plik's journal which you can find on a desk in his room.
• If you put on the ghoul mask, the ghouls don't attack Jacob Humboldt or Rip Smithy and mines will not detonate until you take off the mask.
• If you kill Plik before triggering the quest he will not have the The Dismemberer . Load the auto-save at the front door to fix this.
• If you equip (reverse-pickpocket) the two fellow hunters with high level weapons and armor, they will last a little longer and actually manage to kill a few ghouls (they still cannot survive on their own without the player's help). Non-player characters actually use chems, so if you put stimpaks or Buffout on them, they will sometimes use them.
• If Jacob Humboldt and/or Rip Smithy do survive, they will disappear upon exiting the safari.
• The safari is repeatable every few days. Repeating the safari costs 500 caps and no reward other than the minor loot the ghouls have and the experience points.
• Disarm and re-arm the bear traps (there are four) for a little experience before the safari begins. You also get experience for any ghoul deaths they might cause.

Key Objectives

Defend Calvert Mansion - Investigate the smoke pouring out of Calvert Mansion to discover a full scale assault. Help Desmond defend himself to gain a new ally in the swamp.

Join the Tribals - This quest will take you on a spiritual journey before you become an official member of the tribe.

Spy on the Tribals - Self explanatory. Find out who their “God” really is.

Fun at the Ferris Wheel - Either a quick drop off for Calvert or a long battle on Desmond’s behalf.

A Meeting of the Minds - A final raid on the facility to find Professor Calvert in his mortal form.

Side Quests

Make Some Moonshine - Help Maguerite brew a bit of homemade ellixir.

An Antique Land - Collect some dirt to get some gas canisters from an old ship in the bay.

Survive Plik’s Safair - Win an special axe by surviving this ghoul shooting gallery.

Rolling Back the Velvet Curtain - Blow up your very own sub on behalf of Chinese Intelligence.

The Dark Heart of Blackhall - A wonderful trip down Lovecraft Lane to get a special book from the swampfolk.

Enemy Analysis

Mirelurks and Swamplurks - Some new versions of the old creatures in the wasteland. Just shoot them in the face as they try to close the distance. The only trick is timing it right. The lever action rifle seems to penetrate their shells a bit though.

Ghouls - The same old guys with a bit of a different look. The only thing that has changed is that they are often in large groupings. Be very careful around the cemetary of the Ark & Dove Cathedral and the Turtledove Detention Center. You might find 10-15 ghouls there.

Smugglers - Just a twist on Talon Company. The only real danger is that they usually throw a few plasma grenades. Just aim for the head and take them out in a few shots.

Tribals - You’ll fight them occasionally as part of the main quest. The trick is that they can do an unstoppable +35 to any damage caused by Point Lookout weapons. This means that the riflemen with lever action rifles are your worst nightmare. Be ready to lose a lot of health in your fights with them. Use a good rifle or energy weapons to take them out quickly.

Swampfolk - This varied bunch will present a number of new challenges to you. They also get a +35 to their damage. They don’t tend to be as alert or accurate though. The only really dangerous ones are the bruisers. They can cause tremendous damage equal to a deathclaw or albino scorpion if you let them get into range. Shoot out their legs or hit them with a dart before they catch up to you. The rest can just be shot in the head in a normal gunfight.

Robobrain Sentries - You’ll face of few of these in Professor Calvert’s Lab. Just shoot them in the dome. They aren’t very dangerous.

Little Quests

Herzog Mine - You can get a safe home in the area by finding Kenny inside Herzog’s Mine. You can either talk him into letting you sleep there or you can find his lost teddy bear near the bottom area of the mine.

Finding Nadine - After “Walking with Spirits” you can follow Nadine to the Duchess Gambit. She’ll explain that Tobar is the one who took your chunk of brain and that she’s taken the ship in return. Use her key to go into the engine room and find him. He’ll try to justify his actions. Just shoot him in the head when he draws his gun. You can grab your lump of brain on the table. It has no real use other than as a neat decoration. You can then travel for free.

Croatoa - This gardener at the Ark & Dove Cathedral has a special fertilizer shovel. You can get it by passing a speech check or using the Child at Heart perk. He’s usually inside the church. It should be on his body if you kill him too.

The Lighthouse - You can light up the lighthouse if you want. Grab a lightbulb from the truck wreckage to the northwest of the Ark & Dove Cathedral. Then pop it into the light at the top. After a bit of time has passed, a number of smugglers will set up a hideout there. You can kill them for a lot of loot.

Coastal grotto

• View history

Coastal grotto is a small cave in Point Lookout in 2277 . It is where Plik lives and holds a "safari" of sorts with ghouls as the hunt. There are also two men, Jacob Humboldt and Rip Smithy , in the safari chamber, who will most likely die by the end of the safari. It only has one interior section.

Exterior [ ]

There is a buoy outside, just east of where the door to get inside is. The door itself is up the cliffside and the Lone Wanderer will need to climb up. With careful jumping, it is possible to reach the entrance from the top of the cliff (i.e. near the Ark & Dove resting grounds ). Also, there are some swamplurks around the coastline.

Two buoys can be seen in front of the entrance. Beneath the northern buoy is a shipwreck with a first aid box and a Very Easy locked safe. Below the southern buoy is the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex or similar dinosaur, along with a human skeleton with a lever-action rifle . Nearby are two ammunition boxes and an Average locked safe .

Interior [ ]

Inside, there is a long tunnel that leads to Plik . Before reaching him, the Lone Wanderer will find his room with a bed, a desk, and his journal lying open atop an unusually small first aid box . If the player character starts the quest, they will be able to enter the safari chamber. The safari chamber is a large room where feral ghouls come out from all sides when the button in the middle of the room is pressed.
