Fallout 4 - Solution to Main and Side Quests

Fallout 4 - Complete Solution and Strategic Guidance to the Quests. In this section of our comprehensive guide we walk you through Fallout 4 step-by-step through all of the game's missions to tackle the many dangers lurking in the Contaminated Zone without taking damage.

Our quest guide will show you how to unlock and complete all of the game's main and side quests.

The guide will lead you step by step, showing you the best paths to take and the most powerful items to collect.
Welcome to the Contaminated Zone!

WARNING! Given the sheer number of missions and shipments present and given that the game often doesn't distinguish one from the other, we thought we'd divide our guide into sections:

MAIN CAMPAIGN MISSIONS - These are the missions that carry out the main narrative arc and can be faced from the beginning of the adventure one after the other.

MISSIONS OF THE 4 FACTIONS - Towards the "end" of the game we will necessarily have to carry out the narrative arc of one of the 4 factions present choosing finally with which of them to complete the adventure. Our guide is divided into missions of the factions, first you will find listed the main ones and then the secondary ones for all the following factions

MINUTEMEN QUESTS

QUESTS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL

RAILROAD MISSIONS

INSTITUTE QUESTS

IMPORTANT: As you complete missions for a specific faction, your relationships with other factions will be broken until you can no longer complete missions for other factions except the faction of your choice.

The only faction not affected by this problem is the Minutemen. So you can complete all Minutemen missions without any problems towards the other factions but be careful when completing missions for other factions!

SECONDARY Quests - All those other quests that are not in the above mentioned categories and basically serve to unlock companions, get caps, weapons, costumes and many other useful items for the quest.

Fallout 4 - SOLUTION TO THE MAIN CAMPAIGN MISSIONS

MAIN MISSION

THE WAR NEVER CHANGES HOW TO UNLOCK: Start the game.

WHAT TO DO: Once you have created your character, using the Mirror Editor, choose which of the 2 trees in the pair you want to be and continue.

WARNING!!! You can modify both spouses but your character will be the one chosen in the final, i.e. the one in front of the mirror when you exit the Editor.

Explore the house to meet Codsworth, the multifunctional robot butler, and your child, with whom you can interact in the room with the crib next to the bathroom.

After a few minutes a man will knock on the door. Answer his questions and choose which initial skills to provide points.

We advise you to improve your health, your stealth and, above all, your intelligence, which will allow you to earn many more key experience points in the early stages of the game.

If you have a few points to spare, also bet on skills that increase transportable itemsand charismato improve your chances of persuasion.

Contract signed, prepare for the shocking announcement and as quickly as possible follow the crowd until you enter the Vault. Do what the Vault-Tec scientists have asked you to do and enjoy the long sleep - see you in 200 years!

MAIN MISSION

OUT OF TIME
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission THE WAR NEVER CHANGES.

WHAT TO DO: After you wake up, find the exit to Vault 111.

If you want you can open your husband/wife's cryogenic capsule first and pick up the wedding ring.

It won't be difficult, as you'll find almost all doors locked and you can only follow one route.

Once you get to the canteen, grab your baton from the right table and get ready to take on the mutant cockroaches. Once you have thoroughly sanitized the area you will be able to access the cafeteria terminal where there is a first Olonastro: Minaccia Rossa (Red Menace) that you can play with by unlocking his trophy/goal FUTURO RETRO'.

The gameplay is very reminiscent of the first Donkey Kong, only instead of the cute gorilla there's a green alien ready to shower you with missiles.

There's nothing valuable to collect in the Vault, so proceed to the exit to find in front of the main door the classic Pip-Boy that will automatically equip itself and into which you'll have to load the unlock codes for the Vault door. Once the door is unlocked, get on the elevator and get ready to head home. Once you exit the Vault hill you will find the Sanctuary, destroyed and abandoned.

If you go home you may see Codsworth, still active, wandering around the area. Talk to us to find out what to do. Go into your house and look on the kitchen shelf for a Grognak the Barbarian: The Jungle of the Bat Babies comic book.

This comic increases the damage of critical hits inflicted with bare hands or melee weapons by 5%. Reading 20 different magazines will earn you the trophy/object THE PRESS IS NOT DEAD.

After exploring the neighborhood with the robot, it will inform you that there is a small town nearby, Concord, and you'd better go there to get new information about your missing son. On the way to Concord you will discover a new place: the red rocket service area. If you get caught in a lightning storm, you can stay there until the radiation stops. Inside the station you'll find various caps, Mentats, and some other useful consumables. If you examine the service area terminal, you will find that there is ahidden caveat the base of the Red Rocket. Exit and go behind the service area at the base of the hill to find the cave.

At the bottom of it, after taking out a number of Rat Mole, you will find a safe containing some molotv, mines, and a few other useful consumables. At the end of your adventure with the Red Rocket, get to the Museum in downtown Concord and eliminate the Marauders to finish the mission.

MAIN MISSION - JEWEL OF THE COMMONWEALTH
How to unlock: Talk to Preston Garvey and his men at the Liberty Museum in Concord.
WHAT TO DO: To find information on Shaun, you'll need to go to Diamond City, in the heart of the Commonwealth. Once you reach the outskirts of the city, you'll encounter Diamond City Security men who have just entered a battle with a group of Super Mutants barricaded inside a crumbling building. Help them collect weapons and ammo from the bodies of the defeated mutants. At the end of the battle, the Security men will invite you to continue on to finally reach Diamond City.

Outside the gates of Diamond City you will witness the animated dialogue of a woman dressed in red with a loudspeaker at the city's security gate. In fact, it seems a certain Danny doesn't want her back by order of the mayor. The woman is in fact Piper, the local journalist, whose articles have shed a bad light on the rot behind Diamond City's security men and administration.

At the end of the dialogue, he talks to the woman and pleases her by pretending to be a merchant. At that point Danny will be forced to open up and you will finally be able to enter Diamond. Right at the entrance, Piper will be stopped by the mayor. Witness their dialogue and then talk to Piper to give your opinion to the press.

The mayor will start a dialogue with you and you can ask him where to look for information about Shaun. If you have at least 50% improvement in Charisma skills, you will be able to have the Mayor tell you where to find this information.

The man will advise you to go to the detective agency of one Nick Valentine and then quickly leave. You will stay with Piper who will appreciate your help by inviting you to his office and opening the MAIN MISSION - THE STORY OF THE CENTURY. You can now enter the city and join the Valentine Detective Agency, located in the northern part of Diamond, to finish the mission.

OPTIONAL: As you will be spending a lot of time in Diamond City it would be nice to have a house where you can rest and deposit some items. To do this, you need to go up to the upper floors of Diamond and go to the mayor's office. You can do this from the elevator just above the Diamond City steps, or from the small elevator just before you enter the city. Right next to where Danny, the guard who wouldn't let you in, is standing. There are two ways to get a house:

-Get a CITIZENSHIP PERMIT- Go up to the mayor's office and talk to Geneve, his cold-hearted secretary. She will try to sell you a 2000 plug permit that will give you access to a house and all its contents to customize it. This solution guarantees you a very comfortable and fully customizable home, but 2000 Stoppers, especially in the early stages of the game, is an exorbitant amount (unless you rely on the GUIDE TO HAVING INFINITE TOPS AND MUNICIPALITIES). Precisely for this reason we recommend a more modest but much more convenient solution.

-Breaking the Mayor's Cash (Recommended)-This is the best solution for getting a first home in Diamond City. Wait for the evil Geneve, the mayor's secretary, to fall asleep and go behind her desk. To the left will be a terminal with a locked safe next to it. Wait for the guard wandering around the area to come out into the hallway and close the door behind him. Now hack the mayor's terminal, with a BASIC infiltration level, and unlock the safe. Take everything you find: ammo, weapons, consumables, and most importantly the keys to the Kellogg residence. WARNING - Do this without being seen by comrades like Preston who don't tolerate theft.

Once you have the keys to one of the 2 residences, head into town and get to your new home. If you can't find the Kellogg residence, look to the left of town, the house is on a raised platform attached to the steps.

MAIN MISSION - LITTLE SAINT, VERY VALENTINE
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the JEWELS OF COMMON HEALTH mission by going to Nick Valentine's Detective Agency .

WHAT TO DO: Unfortunately it seems that the only man who can help you find Shaun, Nick Valentine, has been kidnapped by a Mafia gang in the area led by a notorious criminal called The Smilzo. Talk to Ellie Perkins, Nick's secretary, to get information on the whereabouts of her boss. If you have a good level of charisma you can also try to increase the agreed reward but remember that if you have Piper as a companion this action will not be to her liking. Once you get the information you will need to look for Nick at Park Street Station, see the full map of the game locations, for where to find this location. Once you reach the area enter and proceed until you reach the bottom of the subway, occasionally taking out the various waves of mobsters present. At the back of the area is the entrance to Vault 114. Use the Pip Boy on the right terminal to open the door to the Vault. Upon entering, you'll also find the Vault 114 costume on a desk to the right (I don't know about you, but I've always enjoyed collecting Vault costumes in every Fallout). Continue through the Vault until you reach the dining room. Here you will be attacked by other mobsters and the Boss's right hand man, Dino. It's not particularly difficult, also because this type of enemy tends to walk around in Fedora and Smoking, not particularly protective clothing. Dino eliminated, take the security password from his corpse and climb to the top of the area to interact with the terminal and meet investigator Nick Valentine.
In the same room where Valentine is locked up there is also a statuette of VAULT-TEC Bobblehead. Follow Nick towards the entrance of the Vault and you will finally meet the person who ordered his kidnapping: Malone Lo Smilzo, who is not so thin-skinned after all. The man is accompanied by the woman, Darla, whom Nick had come looking for and who doesn't seem to need help as she hasn't been kidnapped but has voluntarily joined Tiny's gang.

OPTIONAL: If you want you can talk to the enemies a bit and use Charisma to turn Darla against Malone or get out of this convoluted situation without firing a single bullet.

If you choose to fight instead, since the discussion requires a high level of Charisma, use SPAV and quickly eliminate The Little One with powerful headshots, in fact you should surprise him right at the beginning of the discussion to eliminate him without giving him time to fire a single shot. Once eliminated, kill his men and the crazy woman who agreed to follow him. It won't be a difficult fight, especially if you have a partner to help you in the fight with Valentine. Once the fight is over, follow Nick and exit the Vault first and then the Underground through the service line. At this point the mission will be over and you can choose to join Valentine later or follow him directly to Diamond City.

MAIN MISSION - FIND A CLUE
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission POCO SAN, MOLTO VALENTINO by freeing Nick Valentine from his captors .

WHAT TO DO: Go to the Valentine Detective Agency in Diamond City and talk to Ellie to get the agreed reward for Nick's release. Don't ask her directly or Piper won't like you bringing her with you. Ellie will still give you the reward at the end of the discussion.

Now talk to Nick and agree to submit to some kind of interrogation. Try to piece together what happened in Vault 111 at the beginning of the game when Shaun disappeared. Talk about your situation and when you can about the kidnapper, choosing to say that he is a clean-shaven man with a scar over his eye.

This way Valentine will tell you that your description corresponds to a known criminal mercenary in the area who seems to be linked to the Institute, the mysterious secret organization that replaces humans with robot assassins called Synthetics.

If you want you can ask Nick more about his "particular" physiognomy, but don't accuse him of working for the Institute, an action that will negatively affect your relationship with Piper. At the end of the discussion Nick will inform you that Kellogg has lived in Diamond City for some time and has a house in the infamous part of town. Valentine will invite you to follow him to investigate this house.

The more attentive among you, who read us from the first few missions, will have figured out that this is the same house I recommended opening as soon as you arrived in Diamond in the JEWEL OF COMMON HEALTH mission. If you don't have the keys yet, follow this simple procedure:

Fallout 4 HOW TO UNLOCK KELLOGG'S HOUSE You must go up to the upper floors of Diamond and enter the mayor's office. You can do this from the elevator just above the Diamond City steps, or from the small elevator just before you enter the city. Right next to where Danny, the guard who wouldn't let you in, is standing. When you get to the offices, you'll need to enter the mayor's office.

Wait for the evil Geneve, the mayor's secretary, to fall asleep and go behind her desk. To the left will be a terminal with a locked safe next to it. Wait for the guard wandering around the area to come out into the hallway and close the door behind him.

Now hack the mayor' s terminal, with a BASE infiltration level, and unlock the safe. Grab everything you can find: ammo, weapons, consumables, and most importantly the keys to Kellogg's house. WARNING - Do this without being seen by comrades like Preston who don't tolerate theft.

Follow Nick and get to Kellogg's house. Once inside, you'll need to search for clues to continue the mission. Look under your desk and press the red button to unlock a room near the entrance. Here you can pick up various types of ammo and consumables, a Nuka Cola Quantum and a cigar on the small table next to the couch.

Taking the cigar Nick will inform you that it's best to rely on the scent of a bloodhound, so call Dogmeat, your dog, or you can buy one from the man at the Tenpines Bluff camp.

Nick Valentine will also inform you that he is willing to follow you on the mission unlocking the possibility of using him as a companion in the future. Bring Nick with you on this mission and in the next one he will be very helpful in hacking various terminals, the detective is indeed very skilled with computer terminals. Exit the house to find Dogmeat ready to help you. Let him smell Kellogg's cigar to finish the mission and immediately unlock the next one.

Important Filler: Unlock Nick Valentine as a companion. Unlock more than 5 of them and you will get the trophy/objective NEVER AGAIN.

MAIN MISSION - MEETINGS
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the SEEK AN ADDRESS mission.

WHAT TO DO: Follow Dogmeat into the Commonwealth and bring Nick Valentine with you on this mission. Dogmeat will stop several times and you'll have to fight some mutated flies and collect new clues to continue.

When you stop under a bridge, collect the blood stained rags to continue on. During your walk you will also have to fight a big mutant bear. He is very slow, so use the trees to always put something between you and the animal and eliminate him quickly with Nick's help.

After a long treasure hunt, you'll reach Fort Hagen (Full Hunting Locations Map) where you'll find the forbidden entrance. Now you can leave Dogmeat and climb up to the roof from the stairs at the back of the building. Pay attention to the many towers in the corners and enter Fort Hagen through the large hatches in the roof.

You will have to go down inside the building looking for Kellog. The area is completely filled with synthetic robots that are very weak against laser weapons, especially if they get hit in the joints or head. Also pay attention to the laser turrets placed behind different corners. Going down to the second floor, you'll hack a terminal that activates an Automatron capable of helping you in battle if you select the Law Guardian personality on the computer next to it. But be careful not to hit it or it will become your enemy.

After hearing Kellogg's voice you can reach the recreation room with the tables and the kitchen on the left. In this area you will find a VAULT-TECbobblehead statuette . In front of the kitchens there is a blue door. Open it and go down to the basement with the pipes to find a security password next to a corpse. Go back to the hallway separating the kitchen from the blue door and continue. Go up the stairs to a terminal. Use the password you just picked to open the door on the left. In this area you can find a bunch of Stimpak, Rad-Away, Med-X and most importantly a Fat-Man, the powerful historical bazooka from the series with a Mini-Nuke bullet. Continue down the hallway to find out from Kellogg that he will drop his syntheticsand wants to talk to you, try to find out as much as possible about the Institute and where Shaun might be hiding. Then the confrontation will inevitably begin, quickly take out the synthetics and focus on Kellogg with the SPAV. The man uses a Stealth-Boy to make himself invisible, the area is still small and you will have no trouble finding him thanks to the small graphical distortion generated by the Stealth-Boy when Kellogg moves.

Once eliminated, pick up the KELLOGG FULL, one of the best armors in the game, also beautiful enough to see, the KELLOGG GUN, a very powerful revolver, already modified with a comfortable grip and sight. It is also VERY IMPORTANT to collect from Kellogg's corpse all the rest, i.e. the one that is part of his mnemonic circuits such as the Cybernetic Brain Augmenter that he will need for the next mission. Once the collection is finished, use the security password, always taken from the enemy's body, to enter his nearby terminal. Read the information and report everything to Nick who will send you to Piper, the only one capable of conducting such an investigation. Exit Fort Hagen to see a steel battleship sail through the sky, then go to Diamond City to talk to Piper. You'll find the woman in the newsroom of her newspaper, inform her of Kellogg's death, and Nick will tell you that there may be a way to retrieve Kellogg's memories. This is where the Cybernetic Brain Augmenter, previously recovered from the corpse of the enemy, comes into play. From these particular components, memories about a person's past can be extracted from a woman, Dr. Amari, who lives in Goodneighboor, near Diamond City. Once the discussion ends, the mission will also end.

MAIN MISSION - DANGEROUS THOUGHTS
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission MEETINGS.

WHAT TO DO: Now you must go to Goodneighboor to find Dr. Amari and show her the Cybernetic Brain Augmenter. If you didn't take it, go back to Fort Hagen and examine Kellogg's body again. The first time you enter Goodneighboor a man will try to take advantage of you by asking for money. If you have a good Charisma level, at least 5-6 points, you can intimidate the man and make him lower his crest. But the guy will be killed by the mayor of the town, the demon John Hancock. Continue on to find the Memory Lair, the location of Dr. Amari's lab.

OPTIONAL 1: If you want, before going to the Doctor, you can make a small detour to the bar "The Third Way" just below the Mayor's window. Wait for the singer to finish her performance and talk to her in the bar. If you have at least 8 Charisma points you should be able to flirt with Magnolia. You will have to choose the yellow dialogue option to unlock the next one. If you can flirt with her 3 times you will be able to have sex with the woman who will end your story the next morning. Congratulations, even if for a short time, you have had a little love affair!

OPTIONAL 2: On the top floor of the city hotel you will find a demon in a yellow raincoat. This is the same Vault-Tec man who offered you a place in Vault 111 at the beginning of the game. Talk to him and be cordial, after some pleasantries you can choose, having a Charisma level of at least 5 points, to invite the man to your Sanctuary community.

Enter the Memory Den and watch the dialogue between Nick and the owner Irma.

OPTIONAL 3: In a room to the right, as soon as you enter the Memory Den, you will find Kent Connolly a big fan of the old hero Silver Shroud and he will offer you a special mission. Go in search of the hero suit only when you have reached a good level, 50-40, this is actually one of the suits, if not THE best suit in Fallout 4 and its stats depend on the level reached by the player when it was found.

Go down and talk to Dr. Amari. Nick will offer to help you and at the end of the discussion you'll just have to enter the mnemonic capsule to finish.... IN FRANTUMI.

MAIN MISSION - SHATTERED
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission DANGEROUS THOUGHTS .

WHAT TO DO: In this mission, all you have to do is continue from one memory to another, interacting with all available items. You have to follow the last memory to discover some of the secrets of the Institute. Once you've seen everything, turn on the TV in the last memory to return to the Memory Lair and exit the Mnemonic Capsule. Talk to Nick once you're outside to have a special conversation. The mission is over and you can leave for a trip to a "sea" location.

MAIN MISSION - THE SHINING SEA
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission in FRANCE.

WHAT TO DO: This mission will take you to a particularly radioactive part of the Commonwealth. You will need to take all the Radaway and Rad-X you have with you. If you want you can visit the HUGO HOLE to find the Hazmat suit which allows you to have +1000 radiation protection: Fallout 4 WHERE TO FIND YOUR HAZMAT Unfortunately the Hazmat suit gives you great protection against radiation but it is really poor against enemies and we assure you that the Shining Sea is full of radioactive scorpions and mutant animals so the best solution to cross it is still the use of the Atomic Armor which we have produced a full guide to. Follow the Pip Boy into the Shining Sea and make your way through Ghoul Ferali and the radioactive animals. Once you reach the Atom Crater enter to be blocked by the cult led by Mother Isolde. You can make a massacre and continue on, but you can also lower your weapon and talk to the woman to get new information about a rocky cave near the southeast of the atom crater.

You will need a Charisma level of 5/6 points. Here you will finally find the scientist who escaped from the clutches of the Institute, Virgil. Talk to us for new information and try to link him with your Charisma, 5/6 points are always required. The man will ask you to retrieve a serum inside the Institute on your own unlocking a presentation that will lead you to obtain the "VIRGIL GUN" a very powerful laser weapon. Once the dialogue ends, the mission will be over.

OPTIONAL: If you want, after passing the MOLECULAR LEVEL mission, you can also kill the man immediately and retrieve the rifle without too much effort.

MAIN MISSION - HUNTER AND PREY
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission THE BEAUTIFUL SEA.

WHAT TO DO: On Virgil's advice, you must travel to Cambridge and find the CIT ruins to try to intercept a Predator's teleportation transmission and infiltrate the Institute.

Once you reach the ruins, open the Pip-Boy and tune it to the Predator Radio signal. Follow the beeps that will become more and more frequent as you get closer to your target. You will arrive at the Greenetech Genetics building. A large building with a green facade eaten away by rust.
Upon entering you will find yourself in the middle of a battle between the Gunners, a militia that prefers all manner of weapons and turrets.

Climb to the upper floors of the building to locate Predator Z2-47. You can talk to this "friendly" character if you want, but whatever you do will lead to a fight. Eliminate the enemy and extract the Predator CHIP from its body to finish the mission.

OPTIONAL: Searching Greenetech Genetics you will find 3 fusion cores, some useful magazines and a synthetic called K1-98, imprisoned near the final position of the Predator Z2-47. Releasing it will unlock a presentation.

MAIN MISSION - THE MOLECULAR LEVEL
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the Hunt and Prevent mission.

WHAT TO DO: You finally know how to get to the Institute, but you'll need a lot of help. After talking to Dr. Amari, you'll need to have Tom Handyman examine the PREDATOR'S CHIP at the secret railroad base. Then go to the old church to the north and talk to Desdemona and then Tom.

At this point you will be redirected by Virgil, the fugitive scientist from the Institute who lives in the Marvelous Sea. Talk to him to get the SIGNAL INTERCEPTOR projects. At this point you must build this phantom teleportation device. The miners will only support you in building the machine if you have completed the CALL OF FREEDOM and its side mission THE FIRST STEP. At this point you only need to talk to STURGES to get support with the construction of the Interceptor. You can find all the information about these missions on the following pages of this guide. STEEL CONFRATERNITY will only provide you with support in building the machine if you have completed its main missions COVER FIRE and CALL TO ARMS. At this point you only need to talk to the INGRAM CENSOR to get support with the construction of the Interceptor. Find all the information about these missions on the following pages of this guide. RAILROAD will provide you with support with the construction of the machine only if you have completed his main missions THE ROAD OF FREEDOM and THE ART OF SPIONAGE. At this point you only need to talk to TOM TUTTOFARE to get support in building the Interceptor. You can find all the information about these missions on the following pages of this guide. ACTING ALONE If you want to ignore the 3 factions you will have a lot of work to recover various materials. You will have to build:

STABILIZED REFLECTIVE PLATFORM
-Aluminium x10
-Steel x5
-X3 circuits

LIGHTNING EMITTER
Copper x1
-Steel x10
-Rubber x2
-Circuits x1
-Printed Military Circuit x1 (You can find it in the turrets and in the militarized areas, marked by a circle with a star on the game map). TRANSMISSION PARABOLA
Copper x3
Steel x3
Fabric x6
-Gold x3
Sensor Module x1 (You can find it from the turrets and in communication areas like Trinity Tower)

CONSOLE
-Copper x3
-Steel x5
-Rubber x2
Biometric Scanner x1 (Found in the turret and hospital areas, marked with a circle with a cross on the game map). Once finished, connect everything and give energy. Through the Power and Generators section of the Workshop menu. Once you have activated all the components of the Interceptor just activate it or talk to the scientist who helped you finish the mission and finally get to the INSTITUTE.

MAIN MISSION - INSTITUTIONALIZED
HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the mission MOLECULAR LEVEL. WHAT TO DO: Follow the voice within the structure to reach the man behind the Institute, Father. Agree to become part of the Institute ( Don't worry! Later if you want you can cut this deal! ) so you can freely explore the complex.

Then meet Dr. Holdren and the engineer Filmore. Talking to Ayo, on the other hand, you can convince him, with a medium level of charisma, to trust you. Finally, talk to Dr. Madison who will install a fast teleportation device in the Pip-Boy to reach the Institute. This installation will also conclude the mission.

COMPUTERS!
Now you will have finished all the main free missions in the game and before entering the final quest you will have to make decisions.

That is, you will have to continue the faction quests, which you can find in the following pages of this guide, until you reach the final one. Be careful because you can't be friends with everyone, in fact, as you complete quests for a specific faction, your relationships with other factions will be broken to prevent you from completing quests for other factions except your chosen one. The only faction not affected by this problem is the Minutemen. You will be able to complete all Minutemen quests without any problems towards other groups, but be careful when completing quests for other factions. Each faction has a point of no return.

As far as the Institute is concerned, you have already reached this point by completing the first 3/4 missions, as the other factions will immediately start hating you. While as far as the other 3 Factions are concerned, the point of no return is the main shared mission The NUCLEAR OPTION which changes according to the Faction you face. In practice, the Institute seeks to destroy the Railroad, the Brotherhood of Steel and the Minutemen. While the other 3 factions seek supremacy over the Commonwealth and also want to get rid of the Institute. It's up to you to choose what to do, remember that from now on every mission completed will carry a lot of weight, good luck!

Fallout 4 - SOLUTION TO THE MINUTEMEN'S Quests

MAIN MISSION OF MINUTES - THE CALL TO FREEDOM HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish OUT OF TIME and remove the PREEDONS outside the CONCORD museum.

WHAT TO DO: Enter the museum and prepare to confront the Marauders who have taken over the structure. Once they are eliminated, go up to the top floor and talk to the survivors. Meet Preston Garvey, the last of the Minutemen. You choose to help him free his men from the siege. In this area you will need to take a SEARCH-TEC STATUS (GUIDE AMONG OUR GUIDES). You can accomplish Preston's mission in two ways:

-Use the atomic armor: Talk to Sturges and hack the nearby terminal. This will open the security cell at the back of the museum. Go down and open the cell door to collect a Fusion Core. Return to the Minutemen and exit through the rooftop door.

Here you will find an old T-45 Atomic Armor, ready to be activated thanks to the newly collected Core. Thanks to the armor you can quickly take out Marauders on the streets of Concord, but be careful, the enemies are well armed and could damage or destroy the armor permanently.

NOT USING THE ARMOR: You can save the powerful means provided by the Minutemen and also the Fusion Core by retrieving the armor later. Only when you have free territory. To easily eliminate the Marauders you can use a simple trick. Take out the deathclaw from the sewer in downtown Concord by passing through it and then escape to the top of the nearest building. The monster will take out the Marauders and get hurt. As soon as you can unload everything you have at the monster to rid Concord of the hostile elements.

Once the enemies have been eliminated, go back and talk to Preston, who will be waiting for you in the Sanctuary. Find him again in Sanctuary and talk to him to finish the quest.

You will also get the trophy/object "THE CALL OF FREEDOM". IMPORTANT: If you talk to Codsworth you can ask him to stay with you, the robot will become your companion and you can take him with you on the mission. By unlocking more than 5 of them, you will get the trophy/objective NEVER on your own. MAIN MINUTE MISSION - SANCTUARY HOW TO UNLOCK: Finish the CALL OF FREEDOM. WHAT TO DO: You must make SANCTUARY a livable place for Preston Garvey and his companions. To do this, talk to STURGES about the needs of the population. You will need several things in that order:

-Beds, always inside and dry;
-Scrubber, build any of those in the menu;
-Feed, plant trees and assign someone to grow plants;
-DEFENSES, you will need to build at least 2 turrets to defend the "new" SANCTUARY from any pitfalls. You will also need to assign someone to defend these turrets and the town permit; REMEMBER: If you have 4 settlers in total, the number of beds or other resources needed must equal or exceed the number of inhabitants in a settlement. MAIN MISSION OF MINUTES - VISIONS HOW TO UNBLOCK IT: Finish the mission THE CALL TO FREEDOM. WHAT TO DO: Among the Minutemen members is also the elderly Mama Murphy who apparently receives visions of the future. Once you get to Sanctuary she'll ask you to bring her some JET. Very common drugs that you can find in different places in COMMON HEALTH, especially if you have completed the main quests. Once you bring the drug to the woman, she will tell you about the future, but then she will need a new chair to rest in and you will have to build it for her. The chair will be unlocked in the BUILD menu, in the SPECIALS section. After building the chair, the woman will ask you for more drugs to tell you more about your future:

1-Mentats
2-Med-X
3-Buffout
4-Psychopath.

Bringing drugs to the woman contrasts with Preston Garvey's will and Sturges' opinion of you. In fact, if you go too far with Psycho, to find out more and more, you can say goodbye to dear mom. In any case it is necessary to wait 8 hours between one administration and another because the old lady needs more rest.

If you wish, you can instruct the woman to detox. However, the success of this enterprise depends on charisma and requires a medium/high level. In this case, Garvey and Sturges will be impressed by your gesture in increasing esteem for you. Unfortunately, however, you will no longer be able to have visions of the future. MAIN MINUTE MISSION - FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE HOW TO UNLOCK IT: Finish the SANCTUARY mission and some random missions for Preston Garvey. WHAT TO DO: It's time to take back CASTLE, the MINUTES' old secret base. Join Preston and his men and choose your plan of attack from the 3 proposed:

Precisely why Preston will ask you to talk to the settlers of Tenpines Bluff and their problem with the Marauders. Go to the indicated location and talk to the two settlers present, asking them to join the Minutemen now. In the area you will also find a guy who for about 200 caps can sell you a trained dog that you can use just like the dog unlocked with the "CURE THE DOG" side mission described above.
You must get to the Corvega Assembly Plant and eliminate all the enemies you encounter. On the way to the Plant you will come across Bedford Station, where you can pick up various consumables and useful caps, but be careful because it is infested with Hungry Ghouls.
Right next to the plant is the city of Lexington, another place to be added to the map but infested with Demons and Marauders, use their rivalry to go unnoticed.

Once you reach your destination, you will need to enter the interior of the plant and get to the heart of the plant to eliminate the leader of the Marauders. Watch out for the numerous turrets scattered inside the plant that with a few machine gun blasts can knock you out. In this area you will need to take a SEARCH-TEC STATUS (GUIDE AMONG OUR GUIDES). To get inside the Corvega plant you can also take a stealthy approach, going through an underground tunnel leading out of Lexington but be careful not to touch the cans as it will attract several wild Ghouls groping in the sewers. Once the mission is complete, return to the colonists and offer them to join the Minutemen. They will gladly accept and swell your ranks. Then return to Sanctuary to talk to Preston Garvey and finish the mission.

He will tell you that he hasn't seen Scara for a while and will ask you to find her. Go to the ATOMIC GENERAL GALLERY, north of COMMONWEALTH. Now enter the BACK ALLEY BOWLING building to find SCARA. Use Charisma to convince her or give her the BRAIN FUSION ADAPTER provided by CONFRATERNITY at the beginning of the mission.

Head down, paying attention to the various feral Ghouls you'll encounter, and prepare to fight Brother HENRI and the ASSAULTRON IRA DELL'ATOMO. If you have a high level of CHARISMA, you can convince Henri to be faithful to the strange cult that follows him and obtain the PASSWORD without incident of any kind.
