MAP OF THE UNDERGROUND:

Map legend: 1 - entrance to the underground; 2 - entrance to the area occupied by new deathclaws; 3 - passageway near a destroyed building; 4 - exit to S. Wilson Building

Upon your arrival in the underground you're going to be greeted by a friendly ghoul named Wint [#25]. You won't have to think too hard about your response, because you won't receive any items nor valuable intel from him. You could ask him to show you the way to Olney Powerworks, however you can get there yourself without anyone else helping you. Say goodbye to both ghouls and start exploring their hideout. Naturally you'll be safe here, so you should take your time to look around. Keep going forward until you find Dunbar's body. It would be a good idea to examine the body and to pick up a note.

[#25]

You'll encounter your first deathclaw soon after you'll go through a large opening [#26]. Notice that you're standing inside a partially destroyed building. You could decide to check each floor, but aside from a sledgehammer don't count on the main character finding valuable items. Watch out for traps, including a baby carriage known from the main campaign. If you want to leave this area as soon possible use the large hole in the center of the room to get to the ground floor. Proceed west.

[#26]

Eventually you should be able to get to a passageway with a bathtub [#27]. Make sure to take a look inside the bathtub, because you'll find a lot of interesting items, including a Chinese assault rifle. Keep heading west, however watch out for landmines along the way. Thankfully there's not going to be a lot of these objects. Get ready to defeat new deathclaws upon your arrival in a larger area. Keep heading north, but make sure to explore areas around you as you go.

[#27]

You can explore smaller rooms along the way if you want to, especially since some of these areas will contain safes. Hacking into those will allow you to earn experience points and to collect better equipment. Don't count on finding huge treasures, though. Keep heading north-east and eventually you'll get to the stairs [#28]. Use the stairs and find a door leading to Old Olney S. Wilson Building.

[#28]

This time it's not going to take you too long to get to the next area. The good news is that you won't be dealing with deathclaws anymore. The bad news is that the beasts are going to replaced by Enclave soldiers [#29]. Try attacking your enemies from a larger distance and prevent your character from having to defeat more of them at the same time. Watch out for Enclave units equipped with flamethrowers, because they're a serious threat. Thankfully if you have Fawkes in your team he'll provide much needed assistance in getting rid of hostile troops.

[#29]

Notice that you can use nearby staircases. platforms and other large structure to move between floors of this building quite freely. This is all optional, because you won't find any real treasures inside the building, so the best items will be left by Enclave units. Get to a small passageway [#30] when you feel it's time to leave this area. Use the stairs and locate a door leading to Olney Powerworks.
