Fallout 3: Broken Steel Walkthrough - Fighting the Enclave and Raiding Old Olney

It seems like a lot has changed since you got knocked out. Wake up and talk to Elder Lyons. When you are done, go over to the lab and talk to Scribe Rothchild. He'll give you the update and your next mission. For now just head off to the Southwest corner of the map and look for the newly added car tunnel. Go inside and follow the Brotherhood of Steel forward to the end of the tunnel. Talk to Paladin Tristan to learn about their bold strategy of following Liberty Prime and letting him do all the work.

Go out of the tunnel and stay at a good distance behind Liberty Prime. He'll pretty much take care of everything for now. Just watch and enjoy. When he reaches the Satellite Relay Station, he'll punch a hole in the wall and then warn you of an incoming strike. Run away and watch the destruction of your friend. You knew that they had to get rid of him sometime, otherwise there wouldn't be a campaign.

Talk to Tristan to get your new orders to go inside and figure out what just happened. Storm the building alongside your Brotherhood of Steel allies and get ready for a lot of fighting.

It's time for some close combat. Go up the path and into the hole in the wall. Loot the dead enclave soldiers and go through the door. There are 3 Brotherhood of Steel Paladins backing you up. They seem to have a whole lot of health, but they can die during the mission. They start out with a flamer, a gatling laser, and a plasma rifle. They tend to pick up new weapons anyway though.

For the most part, you just keep moving forward. It's somewhat pointless to actually list the whole directions. It's just one long corridor with alternating staircases. There are groups of 3 or 4 enclave soldiers in each room. I counted about 24 enclave soldiers in my run at level 22. They're all well armed too. Expect lots of plasma rifles and gatling lasers. Just keep advancing and clearing out the rooms until you make it to the end. Remember to loot as many of the Enclave as you can to keep a steady supply of ammo. Some first aid kits should have enough stimpaks to last you through the mission.

The trick is to just keep moving forward carefully. Check corners and don't rush into battles. You have three other allies who are more than happy to die for you. Feel free to let them go ahead and charge forward. Then take out the distracted enemies with your own favorite weapon.

Once you go up and down about 4 corridors connected by three staircases, you'll come to a marked terminal built into the wall. Just activate it. Have it update it's information and then download all the information about the Enclaves new orbital nuke system. Go out the nearby door and blow up the two turrets in this last corridor. Then leave the door to return to the Capital Wasteland.

Fast travel back to Scribe Rothchild to finish this quest.

This one is a quick and straightforward mission, but it isn't easy. Talk to Paladin Tristin to get your new marching orders. You need to go to the Olney Powerworks and find a Tesla Coil so that they can make a new superweapon. Yes, you'll be fighting a lot of deathclaws.

You can ask for a bit more help to learn about the Deathclaw Control Scrambler. Go talk to Scribe Vallincourt to get this new toy and learn about it's function. Basically it just makes all Enclave controlled Deathclaws your friend. If you want to test it out and complete the optional objective, then you need to go to the postion to the Southwest of Old Olney first. Approach it from the south to pick the lock on a marked deathclaw cage. It will rush out and kill all the Enclave. Do not help it. If you or your followers kill the Enclave here, then it might break the objective.

The deathclaw will follow you for the time being. They tend to blow up if you get too far away. Mine was gunned down by nearby Brotherhood Outcasts, so don't depend on yours too much.
