Finding the Garden of Eden

Finding the Garden of Eden is a main quest in Fallout 3 as well as a achievement/trophy.

Synopsis
The Lone Wanderer has entered Vault 87 and must navigate the vault to find its Garden of Eden Creation Kit.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Go through the Vault 87 living quarters and test labs.
 * 2) (Optional) Free Fawkes from his cell.
 * 3) Retrieve a G.E.C.K. from Vault 87.
 * 4) The Lone Wanderer can attempt to get it themselves, but there is a significant amount of radiation in the chamber.
 * 5) Fawkes can be asked to retrieve the G.E.C.K. himself.

Behind the scenes

 * The name of the quest is possibly a play on words: not only the player searches for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, but the quest also ends in finding the residence ("garden") of Enclave President Eden.

Bugs

 * If you choose to activate the G.E.C.K. rather than taking it, the pulse that emits from it will, rather than killing you, stun you indefinitely, leaving you to die slowly from radiation poison (unless your unconscious body lands in a non-radiated space, in which you will remain lying on the floor forever).
 * For some reason you may be able to hear Dogmeat's panting during the cutscene.
 * It is possible when exploring Little Lamplight prior to initiating this quest that the Reactor Chamber door which is normally locked will be unlocked. This allows the person to explore Vault 87 and even acquire the G.E.C.K. (or two), Fawkes, and the Enclave ambush. Quest completion and achievement follow suit.
 * If you agree to rescue Fawkes, and yet leave him within his cell and obtain the GECK yourself, the game checks the objective "Optional: Rescue Fawkes" as complete, even though you end up going to Raven Rock while he is contained.
