Talk:Holy Water (quest)

Added Walkthrough
I added a quick, simple walkthrough to the section. It's missing some minor details, but it has the basics of the quest nailed down. This was mostly written from memory based on what I did on a good karmic path. I would appreciate it if someone added to the walkthrough, cleaning up what I missed and fleshing it out a bit. 90.215.117.88 22:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

If you try to solve the problem as peacefully as possible, but without becomes irradiated or doing a special speech check, you simply have to kill them. Oddly enough, I did not receive negative Karma. Also, after killing them all, pamflets are still being attached to doors (including your own Megaton home) while assumably there are no major followers left to give such an order. --Radnu 81.205.186.16 14:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The Power of Atom is based on memory but there isn't really much to say anyway just some quotes from Brother Gerald but someone should fix it up who recently did this option. User:Locklear 86 18:18, 19th May, 2009 (UTC)

Only receiving 100XP, is 300 the wrong number?
The page says you get 300XP for completing the quest, but each time i do it i only get 100XP. Could this be some weird error with my game, or is the listed number incorrect? This goes along with the other two side quests as well, both of them i got 100XP and not the listed 300. --Dyemonic 20:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Quest not starting WTF!?!?!
I finished all Broken Steel Main Quests and still not quest like this!!!! Am I suppose to talk to Bigsley first??!!?!?!

Yes. Bigsley will start the quest. Holy Water begins after you talk to him about Megaton.Nutso 02:49, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Can't enter the memorial
My game will freeze 99.9 percent of the time when trying to enter the Jefferson memoirail or traveling to Rivet City. No other part of the wasteland ever freezes on me, any tips to get in the memoirial?

check your mods and possibly make a unified patch with fallout 3 edit. also make sure your mods are in order. and just in case be sure you have completed 'take it back'. Dr. Clayton Forrestor

Mother Curie?
Why would she be hostile if you blow up Megaton during the quest? Isn't it her objective to turn people into Ghouls anyway? I thought turning her into a Reaver would make her happy, like Brother Gerard. 112.201.229.67 14:05, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Brother Gerard has not spawned in front of the Monastery, and my lockpick skill is not high enough to pick the lock. Did I do something wrong? I have the Holy Water Pamphlet and have read it, and the Monastery shows up on the map. When I go there, I can't find Gerard. HELP!

Water caravan (cont.)
I noticed if after you complete the quest and then stop the megaton inhabitants from attacking the caravan (via speech check on one of the megaton people), if you follow the caravan until springvale they will be attacked by a group of Outcasts. Depending on how you (non-violently) interfere it can end with several Outcast or Brotherhood fatalities (which you can scavange) with no karma effects. I don't know if it works if you haven't helped the Outcasts before since they may attack you too or if you allow the megaton people to attack the caravan or the brotherhood to give the water... uh wondering if anyone else tried this or if its noteworthy at all. This was on PS3 although I don't see why this would be diffrent elsewhere.

Citadel= BOOM
Can you do this quest if the Citadel went Kablemmoh!!!!!! because of you ? (You= PC)

Nope.

Dying from drinking the Holy water?
My character caused the Aqua Pura to be contaminated with the FEV thing which kills you if you drink too much and I must have drunk one bottle off the required death amount so whenever I drink the Holy Water out the front of the monastery my character dies instantly. I have done this with 0 rads so its not because of the radiation. Any help?

moved note

 * Saving Micky: After getting the quest fast-travel directly to Megaton and read the Holy Water Pamphlet sticking at your door or receiving it from a megaton-inhabitant. Then directly fast-travel to Springvale and do the quest by stopping the cult. At last directly fast-travel back to Jefferson Memorial and finish the quest. After that, not coming near Micky while the quest is active will save him from getting killed by drinking the holy water.


 * this doesnt make much sense, it tells you to complete the quest, then says not going near him during the quest, can anyone clarify it? (Eddie the head 13:30, October 29, 2011 (UTC))
