Side quests - QUEST 5: The Velvet Curtain - part 2 | Side quests F3: Point Lookout Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

[#82]

You must now proceed to the area where the submarine is located and the easiest way to do that would be to fast travel to the Calvert Mansion. Proceed south from there and ignore a wrecked ship seen in the distance. The sub itself can be found under water, so you'll have to swim to it. Thankfully it won't be too deep, so you don't have to worry about running out of oxygen. Examine the upper section of the submarine and find a hatch leading to SSN-37-1A [#82].

[#83]

You should make your stay inside the submarine as short as possible, because once again you'll expose yourself to radiation. Make sure to examine contents of a small footlocker before you focus on your assignment. Start off by going to your left. Pick up a Stealth Boy and use a nearby computer terminal. Choosing the second option from the list of commands will allow you to trigger self-destruct feature. In order to confirm that choice you must turn around, go to the other end of the sub and use the switch [#83]. Escape through the hatch quickly, swim back to a safe distance and enjoy the explosion.

[#84]

Follow your current instructions by heading back to the Homestead Motel. Once you're inside the motel room use a computer terminal and choose the last option from the list (Extraction Details). Remember the combination 1323442 and head over to the bathroom. Stand on top of the bathtub and examine the toilet tank to find cryptochromatic spectacles [#84]. I would recommend that you put on your new glasses right away, because you won't be too exposed without a proper helmet. Leave the motel and fast travel to the Calvert Mansion.

[#85]

You must head over to a large greenhouse located to the west of the mansion (or near its ruins). Make sure that you're using the spectacles found in the motel and examine each of four vases. Notice that each vase has rings, ranging from one to four. Your objective is to touch vases in the order corresponding to the message from the motel. Start with the vase with a single ring [#85] and then touch vases with three, two, three, four, four and two rings. Notice that a hatch has revealed itself near the last pedestal. Use this hatch to travel to the Chinese Intelligence Bunker.

[#86]

Use the stairs to reach the lower level of the underground complex. There's a protectron in front of you, but you shouldn't destroy it. Instead talk to the machine and tell the password from the motel (first response from the list) [#86]. You don't have to follow the robot right away. Instead use your free time to explore your surroundings and collecting cool items, such as a mininuke, a chinese sword or a chinese rifle. The room where you've encountered the robot also contains A LOT of ammo boxes.

[#87]

Once you feel you're ready use the next set of the stairs by heading to a lower level. Approach the robot and use the switch located next to it. You may now enter a small room located to your left. Take a Backwater rifle from the left shelf and use a nearby computer terminal [#87]. Sadly you'll find out that this was a trap and so you'll have to leave this room as soon as possible.

[#88]

There are three ways for you to get out of this room, however two methods require you to have proper skills. You can interact with a switch located to the right of the closed door (high Science skill required), you can turn off the device located on the floor (high Repair skill required) or you can leave the room "manually". If you decide not to rely on your skills start using the jump key to get to the upper section of the room. You'll find a small hatch there [#88] and use it to escape. This quest will end once you're far away from the last computer terminal.
