Fallout 4is an amazing RPG by Bethesda that allows players to explore an alternate reality in which the United States had a Great War that caused the entire country to turn into a wasteland. Even though the game is an alternate version of reality, there area lot of historically accurate areas (and some that aren’t so accurate).
One place that has some historical significance is the USS Constitution, which was a real ship built in 1797 in the United States. During the events of the game, players will be able to find this ship and help it set sail once more. Here’s how to find the ship and help it out.
How To Start The USS Constitution Quest
In order to start the quest “The Last Voyage of the USS Constitution,” players must first head to the ship’s location. The USS Constitution is a pretty easy location to get to. All players need to do is head to theeast fromBunker Hill,which is a major location withinBoston. Once there, speak to the robot outside to start the quest.
The robot outside will ask the player to go meet with the captain of the ship, who needs help getting things together for their final voyage. To reach the captain, enter the bank (the building below the ship), and from there, climb up the inside of the building until reaching the entrance to the ship. Inside the ship, navigate up the stairs until reaching the deck level, which is where the captain is. The captain,Ironsides, will ask the player to help them repair the ship’s systems. Once the quest is accepted, the ship will be attacked by Scavengers.
After defeating the Scavengers, head back inside and speak toBosun. He will ask that the player obtain some wires from a nearby crate and repair the boxes scattered around the inside of the ship. (Instead of collecting the wires, the boxes can be repaired by anyone with3 or higher Intelligence.) Once those are fixed, Bosun will ask to obtain relays for the ship. To do this, either replace the relay coil or have a level5 or higher Intelligence(which isone of the best starting stats).
After Bosun’s quests are completed, the player can head outside and speak to Mr. Navigator. He will ask the player to obtain the Guidance Chip from the Scavengers who are holed up in an outpost nearby. Upon finding the Scavengers, they will tell you that those on the USS Constitution are evil and will ask that the player help them sabotage the ship.
Should You Side With The Scavengers Or Ironsides?
Once the player speaks to Mandy in the Scavenger’s outpost, they are forced to choose between the Ironsides inside the USS Constitution or those there. Here are the outcomes of both:
Considering both options lead to the Scavengers dying, the best option is to help Ironsides. However, if players want to be evil, the Scavengers are the best choice.
Continuing The Last Voyage Of The USS Constitution
No matter which side is chosen, players will need to install the Guidance Chip and then speak with Captain Ironsides. He will then ask that the player help him by heading to a specific location to obtain the final piece. (This location is completely random; however, it is known that Fort Hagen and General Atomics Factory are two options.) Once the piece is obtained, take it back to Ironsides (unless the player sided with the Scavengers, then head to Mandy and then Ironsides). The piece will need to be installed in the Captain’s Quarters directly below the main deck.
Finally, Captain Ironsides asks the player to head to the nearby building and turn on the power to the ship. If Ironsides is sided with, the ship will fly off once the power is restored and if not, the ship will remain where it is, and the robots will attack the player.
