5 Remarkable Fallout 4 Unmarked Locations And The Stories Behind Them
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- I did one of these for New Vegas, so why not one for Fallout 4 as well!
Discovering a unique unmarked location is one of the most exciting things for me when it comes to playing any Fallout game. I love being able to discover the small stories that hide in the locations that don't appear on the Pip-Boy map.
And while the 5 that I've listed aren't the most obscure locations (heck, you even go to one during a main story quest), the locations I've mentioned are some of the most flavourful and unique in the entire game.
This is 5 Remarkable Fallout 4 Unmarked Locations!

Back in early 2018 I went on vacation to Boston and visited all the locations on the Freedom Trail. While I was taking pictures and said to myself - thats the balcony where Hancock gives his speech, thats where the Railroad is headquartered and so on. It took me almost the entire day to walk it.
Can be done a fair bit quicker, we were in the US for work and had a day off so went into Boston about lunchtime, started near Faneuil Hall and walked to the common, then did all the way back, up Bunker Hill and around the USS Constitution, visiting each spot on the trail that was open, stopped for lunch and eventually met up with work people for food about 7 I think. Provided you can walk at a decent pace it's doable in 6 hours, maybe add 2-3 if you go in every building but they weren't all open
Dude same lol. Went w my GF and every time I saw a spot that was integral to FO4 I had to point it out lmao
Lol. Us gamers are a weird species aren't we XD
@@Gobtik You missed the point of my comment. It took me most of the day because I was comparing the landmarks with the games' version of them. I wasn't in a race against time.
I'd visited Boston before the game came out, so I did the reverse. I'd explore the game world and think "I've been here."
When you know all 5 unmarked location, you know you're doing good job exploring
Damn Skippy.
doesn't a railroad mission take you through the 2nd location though?
edit: yeah I just double checked the mission is "tradecraft"
@@hivemind8817 That's the very first quest before joining the Railroad. It's my favorite introduction to a faction.
@@andrewn8002 Indeed it’s probably known to almost every player of the game.
Most of these can be found while doing quests or you go to for a quest.
The most haunting secret spot was a house hiding a glowing one where you follow a series of journal recordings from a radiomedicine scientist testing a precursor to Radaway. She was unknowingly part of the control group and daily dosed with lethal radiation. She documents the effects of radiation poisoning including hair loss, bleeding of the gums, later loss of teeth, etc. When she begged for the experiments to stop, she was told she was legally bound under contract and she had no choice. She died at the facility, but came back as a feral glowing one.
Yeah, that one was super creepy. I don't remember where that was on the map.
I just found this one for the first time yesterday!! Very disturbing. There’s also one in another location of a runaway girl who’s father kicked her out because she pregnant, there’s a corpse with a teddy bear and a holotape, I always find the sad ones 🥲😂
I was just there a couple of days ago! Southeast of bunker hill!
@@Theravefae this was my first unmarked when I play FO4 in 2015 and it stopped playing for a few minutes and just thought about how sad that one was. Fallout 1 bleak story
Not lethal enough if you ask me.
One of my favorite bugs in the game is that if the alien runs out of ammo or loses its gun without dying it doesn’t have a melee animation associated with it. If you want to wait you can just have a silly alien friend with you that just looks kind of upset
I found 453 rds of ammo on him. How long are you waiting?
@@sneeringimperialist6667 all 453
Pretty sure npcs dont use ammo. Followers yea but enemies no. They can throw 80 grenades for example. Specifically to avoid players from missing out on rare loot like mininukes, fusion cores, and ab rounds but also to prevent exactly what you described. Youre a liar, for no reason at that. Also it does have a melee, literally every enemy does, youre just completely lying about all of this for no reason. Idk what annoys me more, the pointless lying or the fact that so many sheep mindlessly liked this garbage.
@@WhenDevilsDuel i just saw it in a video like 6 months ago man. i dont know why you are getting this heated over that. i dont know if it was a mod or something but i just thought it was funny. also to clarify, i am at the very least CERTAIN it doesnt have a melee, since it cant even stand up much less swap off of the gun. calling people sheep for not verifying whether no the fallout 4 alien runs out of ammo is really bizarre man, you gotta chill out lol
@@ryanmorton2936 sheep for not using common sense, not for what you claim. Like every enemy in the game, it would just use the weapon bash animation, in the event that it loses its pistol from a lucky melee hit, legendary effect, or getting pickpocketed, it will refuse to fight as most unarmed AIs would and try to run away but since its not allowed to leave the cave will instead cower. Thats the only way I can see that being possible with out mods.
If it didnt have a punching animation than players on ps4 wouldn't be able to mod alien outfits and punch things with out odd graphic glitches. It has every animation as every other humanoid in the game save for ferals. This is because bethesda copy n pasted humanoid animations. Mechanically speaking the zetans are not zetans, theyre just humams in armor that makes them look like zetans.
Heated? I want to point out that I said *annoyed*. As in its a mild neusiance to me, I dont get heated over a buzzing fly. I get annoyed.
You gotta give it up for Tinker Tom. He's likely the one who reprogrammed Pam, he uses the player character to set up data retrieving units all over the Commonwealth, he is the only one who can crack a courser chip and if you go through the railroad he's also the one setting up your teleportation yet he's completely nuts- he thinks the Institute have nanobots in all the food, they're terraforming the world and claims everyone thinks he just high too often but he's the only one to see it all. But he's also likely the smartest guy in the Commonwealth.
And learns to fly a vertibird while still reading the manual, and do it better than the BoS pilots.
Dude could be right about everything for all we know.
Tinker Tom Burner Account located
I don't remember if it's a unmarked location or not. I think it's close to Sanctuary Hill. There a cabin with a skeleton of a girl and a holotape that ran away from home the eve before the great war. To those that know, knows. To those that don't you should definitely check it out. I think that's one of the saddest stories in the game of how and why that girl got there.
Marked as Rangers Cabin.
If you follow the power lines up to the edge of the map just behind Sanctuary and directly behind Abernathy Farm you can find a unique location that will change every time you visit, sometimes an armored tank is up there, sometimes a random settler begging for clean water, or a group of raiders in addition to the raiders nearby, and sometimes you'll find synths or Brotherhood soldiers holding the place down.
The cabin she is found in is a marked location, same with the family home if you find it further south of her location
@@raymondbond1468 it was a while back when I did discover it. I didn't remember it was marked.
Which one was her family home?
I'd love to hear a developer story about Deacon's camp, because the canon for why it would exist should be fascinating. It's been decades since Kellogg raided the Vault, so it isn't like there's a reason to be monitoring from that perspective. Maybe PAM has some dialog that I've forgotten that could've sent him that way?
And unrelated, but if I remember right the alien cave exists prior to the crash and is just empty. If you want to see it before level 20.
I’m pretty sure I heard something in a TH-cam video saying that there is cut dialogue where Deacon says they got their hands on Institute information and the name of the Vault kept popping up so he went to check it out to see if it was a point of interest for the institute or maybe even the way into their base, since they figured out before this that the institute was based underground.
@@vise_atoxity8083 I think I watched the same video. Don't remember by who it was though. I think it was that Nate guy.
It's also entirely possible that V111 was of interest because it was still sealed and intact. So they might have thought it worth observation to see if it ever opened up.
@@midgetman4206 One of Oxhorn's recent videos mentions this too.
If u want to know the lore , watch someone is watching you by nate
I think the maze was built by a raider that player find dead when you pass the 3 trap door, there's always a wrench spawned next to him, probably killed by his own trap by accident.
Wouldn't make sense, if he died by the third door, who finished the rest of the maze? Lol. More likely an extra head he don't need anymore
@Raymond Bond maby he went back to add or repair a couple of traps after he finished making the gauntlet thing
I believe that it was too make fun of doom preppers.
The tv series 1000 ways to die had a doom prepper on it who had sprung his own trap.
I think it's just a Saw reference. Saw takes place in Boston iirc
That makes total sense. He had already completed the entire maze and we can see the pile of dead settlers who had been caught by it. Once someone trips a trap, it has be manually re-set. Getting killed by his own death trap is the kind of brutal irony Fallout loves.
the church with friggin weaping angels, that scared me when I encountered it
I’m glad fallout content is still active, please keep the videos coming in
Right! Idc how many times I've played the games, found these locations, or how long ive known these factoids! I will always watch fallout lore/content
I could watch lore on fallout all fucking year man. Never gets old.
I just started a fallout 4 survival modded run. Hooked me all over again!
I really like the alien’s being included in Fallout lore. They really help that weird 50’s scifi vibe
Nice touch that most of these locations are tied to the Railroad, since they're all about not being discovered
Or so they claim. Forget about the painted red line that leads you to them.
@@midgetman4206 And the fairly big easily recognizable symbols they leave everywhere.
theres one more feature about the alien crash thats lesser known, if you activate a nearby signal booster to boost radio transmissions in the region you can hear the voice of the alien sending out a distress signal. This method also provides an alternative way to find the alien outside the blood.
I did kind of wonder if the milton garage booby trap maze was the prototype for the eventual gauntlet in the nukaworld dlc
Also thank you for this, and Happy New year to you too!
I like how the people in the government were thinking about giving Pam a special body but then said fuck it and slapped her into an assaultron that refuses to assault. And about the alien crash site I was always a bit bugged that there’s nothing you can do after that, like you can’t tell the brotherhood or anyone about the site almost as if your character has amnesia or is somehow stupidity unaware that those organizations are obsessed with technology and that alien tech would likely be a great push through for the brotherhood/institute.
Interesting..
That is because the worlds in Fallout 3 and 4 is slapped together by many designers and they don't talk to each-other.
I remember the 4 came out and people were talking about miltons parking garage with videos like “how to find SAW in fallout 4” I love the location it’s just eerie and rewarding and really is just straight up saw. It’s great I love it
I wish you could customize your map with unmarked locations. With the amount of doors you can enter in cities it’s easy to miss buildings that are unmarked that you are able to enter
Hey Norte, this is a great idea for a series. If you can research more unmarked locations in Fallout 4 that have an interesting story then, I for one, would love to see more of these videos.
As always thanks for the great content, Happy Hogmanay (New years eve in Scotland) and looking forward to more fallout content in 2023!
Ad Victoriam Scribe!
I was in Scotland 3 times in the late 70's but unfortunately I missed that holiday.
I was always kinda bummed you can't give the alien a stimpak and get a mini quest sending it back into space, maybe repairing it's ship/taking it to a secret rocket from prewar/ make one of the satellite locations functional for it to call a cab home.
That would require skill,and the want to make a good game lol All of which Bethesda lacks nowadays.
I legit accidently found the copper gilded grasshopper just running around killing raiders, saw it and took it, did the quest, cool to see its based on real life
I still think the spookiest unmarked location is the overturned train car. Just south of Oberland Station, there's four box cars that gave derailed. One of them has a hatch in its roof that is hidden behind a shrub. Inside is a small room with a small amount of supplies and a ham radio which just loops the same disturbing message of a woman's last moments
That voice actor nailed the performance. Gives me chills. It stands out for how disturbingly real it is.
The only one I didn’t know about is the torture maze bc I remember seeing the arrows pointing to the door & thinking “that’s a trap if I’ve ever seen one” 😂 made me laugh tho
Awesome! It makes me think of the one mission for The Silver Shroud where you have to kill Kendra but there’s no fast travel point, and it’s difficult to get to with the super mutants and raiders
it's difficult to get there for me cause my game always crashes on the overpass lmao
@@napatora i know the exact spot you are talking about, my game always crashes there too!
In case you haven't noticed yet, sneak + sniper rifle = easy mode in all modes. 😜
@@phydeux For sure lmao; on my level 48 main, I have max sneak using either a crazily-modded combat rifle or a lightly-modded Gauss rifle (I’m only at Science 2 lol) :D
Not sure if you guys are using new gen Xbox but for me the game crashes on new gen a lot more then old gen
To me it seems the metals in Shem's grave are also in numbered order like sports medals.
1, gold
2, silver
3,copper (in game being a bronze like color)
Before olden times (anytime I talk about my youth my kids {now in their 40's and 50's} refer to it as olden times) money (coins) was made from gold, silver, and copper.
@@edmartin875 When coins were real. Not the nickel alloy crap they are now. But I think you are closer to the correct idea than me.
Hey if I'd been alive for a couple hundred years in a post-apocalyptic nightmare, I might go crazy and build a death maze too
You are one of the best Fallout creators I've ever come across! All your shorts and videos are extremely entertaining and informative and don't just rehash the same known things, and actually dive deeper into the background of topics that are in Fallout. You're my fav Fallout TH-camr!
This is why I love this game. More games based on real world locations should have real historical events sown into the story, not just for improving the depth to the game but education too.
I wonder if the Milton Parking Garage maze was supposed to be a kind of "copy-cat" of Pickman's Gallery. Perhaps it was set up by someone (as you postulate, perhaps a ghoul) inspired by the stories/legends floating about the Commonwealth about Pickman and his sick gallery of carnage. Just a thought.
This was really informative and I like videos like this. I'm a huge fallout fan and your lore videos are amazing as well!
I always loved finding unmarked locations in games i actually found all of these after a few times playing but i had no idea of there stories your a true lore finder N_orte keep it up :D
I found it by accident about 2016. This video is the first I've seen that said there was another not far away and I have not stumbled across that one yet.
definitely feels like the garage was made by a raider, maybe it was a testing ground for recruitment or as you said to just loot some would be adventurer
I love going to the plunger room of death in 3! I've been there so many times that even though it's been a few years since I've played 3 I still know where it is on the map
Holy crap this is amazing! I played F4 a few years ago but quickly. I really loved it but was busy with school so I couldnt do it to its full potential. Now Im back starting again and I love how amazing this game still is and that I didnt even do half of what it offers. Thanks for what you bring to the community!
I'm glad that fallout community is still making vids like I started getting back into the lore vids and played a bit again and just made me realize I want another fallout game I'm starving for more
Now for the polar opposite. you should do five unremarkable marked locations 🤣👍 love the videos.
:)
Keep up the good work, your content is very interesting, relaxing, and just cool in general.
Newly subscribed, enjoying a lot of your longer form content and hope you make some more longer Fallout lore videos in the future!
Also I think the milton garage was the inspiration for the gauntlet. They share many similarities
Yes I think the devs liked it and reused it on a larger scale for Nukaworld. My personal headcanon is that it was a raider that went on to join the Disciples and was the mastermind behind the Gauntlet.
Yes there is a terminal message in the disciple’s headquarters that mentions a test site for the eventual gauntlet project. I had assumed that the garage was that site.
The Fallout community is one of the best in gaming. Thanks for making this video and supporting this old gem.🎉❤
This would be a great series because I'm sure there's dozens for each game and there aren't too many videos like this out there.
You did a great job on presenting all the locations
I never was into fallout but these videos are getting me interested.
most likely the railroad was watching vault 101 because of past institute activity there and deacon followed us as a person of interest, sense we did just leave a supposed empty vault that had institute activity
Great video, just wanted to add, U.F.O/Alien is one of the signals from the nearby radio station from memory, also the maze is a brilliant idea and awesome for XP, disarm, disarm, disarm!
I knew each location, however I did not know about the lore associated with them. Good job.
Great stuff, a very enjoyable video. :-)
Love your content bro, keep it up
Last playthru I was walking just north of bunker hill when I completed a settlement quest. I reached level 20 and immediately heard the ufo and it whizzed overhead
i love videos like these thank god they keep being made
F4 is like $5 on Steam. I got 1000+ hours out of it and had never played a Fallout game before. It was amazing to explore.
with almost 900 hours in fallout 4, the UFO will without fail always crash once you are level 20 and not in a settlement/town. it can be reliably triggered by reaching level 20 in sanctuary and walking down the road towards red rocket. which has happened to me more times than i care to count
There's the bottle on the castle beach as well, which is a cool find
The UFO crash trigger is not uncertain. It's quite well reproducable:
You have to reach level 20, fast-travel to a location north of Oberland Station (not too near), enter and exit Pip-Boy or a container or a indoor cell. Tadaa :)
Ive had it happen just crossing the bridge out of Sanctuary after cheating to level 20
I loved that a biotech company I had worked for was represented on the Fallout 4 map- I only wished that you could get inside it!
thanks for the video i enjoy it very much!!
i loved discovering story of plumbers secret, that was the point when i learned you could bottle water in survival mode so it was kinda nostalgic to me
Nicely done. Thank you. 👍👍
The switchboard is not accessible from Joe's until you power on the elevator during the Tradecraft mission , though you may be able to hack the terminal inside the escape tunnel
i love the space ship encounter, one of my favs.
Lvl 65 in fallout 4 and have watched countless hours of content on TH-cam have never seen the grasshopper quest, very cool.
As a fellow explorer, I approve.
Great video, thanks for the effort!
The parking garage if you really want (and on PC) you can use noclip via console command to steal both loots!
Things like that is why I don't like mods.
Milton's Parking garage gives such a creepy-lony vibe. Crazy how some environmental stories in this series have the potential to become their own stories...
the gilded grasshopper is my favorite side quest and ive been to Boston and visited all the sites in game.
WOW. On my second playthrough I decided to not follow the story and I got myself to the top left corner of the map. I went right to the top right. I then spent the next 20 nights (I worked 8 hours a night in a closed hospital undergoing a refurbishment). So every night for 8 hours just being at the hospital I played Fallout 4 on my gaming laptop. One way to get paid for playing games. Even thought I zigzagged across the map from right to left, I only came across 3 of these unmarked places. This is a great video, bloody well done and sending a "Thank You" from little old me in England 🤩🤗
deacon is a great spy. a lot were surprised that he was indeed in places and only in retrospect that you can say he's quite easy to spot. but on your first playthrough and once you confirm that he was indeed in several areas you were in, don't act like it wasn't a surprise to really see him there.
Its 2023. And there still fresh youtube content for fallout 4.. this is really a great game LOL despite all the bugs and problem (but thanks to the mods community too for helping us). Thanks for the video too
I knew about all of these save the hidden syringe rifle. I even searched that building recently. Very cool!
Thank you for the Deacon love
On my most recent playthrough the ufo flew overhead the moment I exited vault 111, so there truly is no trigger for it, it just happens whenever the game wants it to happen.
It's like in fallout 3 where the randomness of the UFO flys over dropping some aliens blaster ammo and I think an alien blaster. Idr because it's been a while since I've played.
In my humble opinion 1 of if not the BEST GAMES i cant get enough of. Awesome Awesome Game, Thank You.
I passed Plumber's Secret many times and didn't think much of it since I thought it was an easter egg to the plunger room in fallout 3.
guess i have to go back now.
There's also a "plunger room" in Nuka-World at the Starlight Interstellar Theater. Check the bathrooms. It's a fortune in rubber. 🤣
I've been playing this game on and off for several years and never knew about the loot on the boards near the ceiling in Plumber's Secret.
One of my favorite Easter eggs in the game is the Prost Bar across the road west of Boston Common, which contains a reasonably faithful recreation of the bar from the TV show "Cheers" complete with a dead Norm and Cliffy, Frasier, Sam, Diane and Carla. The real-world Cheers - or the entrance to it - is in fact close to Boston Common, but in a different spot (and of course it's nothing like the TV show on the inside).
really good content
Having a ghoul build the Milton Parking maze makes sense. You've been around for over 200 years, you gotta pass the time somehow lol.
Happy New Year
The UFO is a random event after you're at level 14 or above. I have always had it trigger if I am level 14 and walking up the rail road tracks towards the nearby Vault to collect Curie
it's lvl 20
You missed the PA paint mag in the garage. Pink Hot Rod iir.
Great video
My favorite is the shed on a hilltop that has tons of propane tanks and a little ramp you can use to launch them into the sky
My favorite. There’s a secret area on top of the Diamond City stadium. Only accessible from the outside (next to the fenced junkyard area). Need the power armor jetpack to get there, or console command (tcl). There is a bar, bed, power armor station. And a dead settler. Not sure how he managed to get killed; probably the safest location in the game.
Maybe old age/Exposure? The settler could have gotten up there, and then had no way down, or got up there knew it was safe, and just camped out until he died.
A little something to add concerning the first place mentioned in this video, I've run afoul of bands of Super Mutants in and around Plumber's Secret alongside the Radroaches, I think they may be a random encounter however.
I am going enjoy wandering around this game...Not started it yet..Boston in the US is named after my town in the UK.
I like to think the architect of the parking garage maze was "conscripted" into building the Gauntlet.
Okay I just found plumbers secret in a recent playthrough, and didn't know you could shoot the boards down! I just awkwardly jumped up and grabbed them from the upper floor!
I like to think that the parking garage maze was a prototype of sorts for the gauntlet.
I think that the railroad camp outside of vault 111 probably not Deacon inherently trying to find the sole survivor of vault 111 I think it's more likely that Deacon had set up a camp out there to monitor vault 111 to see about setting a base there after the destruction of the switchboard and just so happened to see the sole survivor leave and having heard the tales of vault dwellers going on to big big people in the world decided to follow the player
Last time I was in Boston was in the late 70's. Long before Fallout. I never went on any tours while there. I was there for business, on which I concentrated.
That alien belongs to the zetan species that you encounter in fallout 3 and vegas!
I had no clue that the U.F.O. had crashed in my save, I just was looking at some Fallout 4 videos and it popped up and I was instantly hunting for it.
The UFO spawns in around lvl 13-15 and if your on the west side of the map. You'll see it zoom overhead, and if your with a talking companion(not dogmeat) they may make a comment about it.
UFO crash site is not realy random, it connected to your level.
If you start a new game, level up yourself (50 or above) inside the Vault before leave, it'll 100% happen just when you leave sanctuary on the bridge to red-rocket.
And it'll happen every time you do this. So it's connected to your level only, but the random effect is where you reach that level. Probably there are some "spawn point" to trigger it too. Now those are unknown locations. (Exept the bridge of Sanctuary.)
They really should have done the opposite with the Church and Switchboard as HQ for Railroad.
1. They left too many clues that led to the Church. The Institute would have found it.
2. It would have made more sense for them to have found PAM after, as she should have predicted the location being compromised.
3. RR could have discovered switchboard by searching through old files for hidden military bunkers, being able to decipher coded messages.
4. Instead of searching for RR ourselves, Deacon could have appeared somewhere and recruited us himself. This better explains why he had been watching us.
5. Switchboard has actual security measures. Church has ghouls. Ghouls are no threat to Coursers.
6. Switchboard is cooler. I'd rather go there.
Prost was my favourite location in Fallout 4 because it's the bar from Cheers.
The alien crashed shit is literally tied to being level twenty. It was in the game guide that it's only triggered after hitting level twenty as it will not occur unless your level twenty
Bro, i dont even remember seeing decon in all those places, he’s good
I agree with your Zetan pov. Used sparingly, a crashed UFO with a little green martian is the most 50s thing so Fallout needs to do it. It doing another Mothership DLC and making more canon lore is a dangerous slippery slope
I can't remember exactly where it is, but somewhere in downtown Boston there is a theater you can enter. The place is filled with mannequins. Quite a memorable place if you've ever been.
This game came out how many years ago? And I still don't get bored watching videos on it or replaying the game. Sad they don't make games like this anymore
6:40 the ufo spawns once you reach level 20 and then getting within 15 thousand map units to the UFOCrashSiteMarker, that's why the different times.
Huh I just learned about the plumbers stash thing. Yeet
