Seeing as this will be a more unique landmark I'm hoping for some unique item in there. Gabriel Cortez 11:28, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

is there a second light bulb anywhere?

Is there a point to repairing it? I put one bulb in and started it, maybe it's just a thing to look cool? Not sure about the location of a second bulb :( LJ Carrion 02:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

By the way, the abundance of the mesmotron power cells and the presence of an almost identical (yet more powerful) weapon, the microwave emitter, got me thinking - could the doctor, his colleagues or whoever they work for have originally created the mesmotron? LJ Carrion 04:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I haven't gotten a chance to check, once you've gotten the bulb replaced is there anyway to turn it on? If theres no reward (which it's looking like there isn't) I'd at least like to see the lighthouse eerily shine into the darkness. --Moltenfungus 06:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

LOL Are you guys that dumb
There is no Second light bulb have you seen the Point lookout trailer, at the end you will see the light house with only one light in it.

A DUHHHH!

That was harsh. Now how about a reason to repair it? Is there a reason or is it just something to do when you're bored? Any reward or anything? I haven't found anything yet. LJ Carrion 17:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

the only holotape I found near the light is the one left by Tobar.

there is a holo tape out site casys hardware ????or w/e its called, some conection ????

You had LOL in your topic heading. And you call us dumb. What a dipshit. Just because you're so pathetic the only time you have the balls to say anything insulting on the internet makes you seem like a jackass.--207.199.196.90 03:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Police Hat and Pistol
Has anyone noticed the police hat and .32 pistol on the stairs. They're about half way up the tower by a few skeletons. On my game they are stuck under the stairs. I've tried using the camera rotation trick and shooting at them from below but still can't get them. 67.142.163.31 21:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not the only item that's somehow stuck and thus rendered unreachable (e.g. the vine rack in the calvert basement, grab one bottle and ten others become stuck). Reason is probably bad placement, the item is already clipping half inside a structure, and when the physics engine kicks in, it tumbles through the structure instead of coming to rest on the surface properly. Since I just can't leave stuff behind, I've accustomed myself to using the console command GETPOS and then SETPOS to move the selected object a bit out of the structure where it is stuck, so I can grab it. For example, "getpos z" would return -721.34, then I'd write "setpos z -700", which moves it a little higher. Works well, of course only on the PC.--87.156.250.254 22:28, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

It should be noted that
That there is a large number of weapon components in the tower. Also there a wanted poser for Wan Yang on the tack board to your right when you walk in the door all tho I do not know if you can get the quest "The Velvet Curtain" form here or not. (Xbox 360)

Missile Launcher Attack?
I was walking down from the lighthouse, and an explosion happens in front of me. I keep walking, and it happens again. I turn around and see that missiles are coming from the top area of the lighthouse. I couldn't see him with a sniper rifle or VATS... How did he get up there?--FlameWolf 13:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You *do* know that Point Lookout (in the real world) is the most haunted location on the East Coast, right? Banshees with bazookas, perhaps? Just doing my job. 13:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The exact same thing happened to me. Damn near killed me, actually, which is odd because Bethesda's scripted stuff is usually harmless. The "missles" seemed to be coming from offscreen, but maybe that's because i was looking the wrong direction lol. Anyone conducted a follow-up investigation of the phantom rockets?

This happened to me too, so I entered the lighthouse, and found a bunch of smugglers, including one with a missle launcher. Then, towards the top, I found a large pile of loose missiles. I'm thinking the missile attacks are either scripted to entice you into entering the lighthouse, or a smuggler spawned at the top of the lighthouse. Also, this is after I completed the "brain" quest and I'm at level 2872.240.167.27 05:19, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Invisible Attack?
I was exited the lighthouse through the storage room in the last part of the Underground Lab. When I exit out on the island, I start getting hit by something invisible. There is no enemy nearby (on my screen or radar) and I get hit every couple of seconds, but they only happen when standing in certain spots. So am I missing something or is there an enemy down there and my game just jacked up? Reflect 22:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

They is a sniper on one of the islands there. Fat Man Spoon 22:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Where? I looked everwhere. Reflect 22:44, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

The futhest one out. Fat Man Spoon 22:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe I have been around the whole area and haven't seen him. I only get hit on that exit area. I'll check again, but I don't think anyone is there in my game. No red marks or anything on my radar. Reflect 22:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a little shack on the island. How bad is the damage to you? Fat Man Spoon 22:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

At level 28, I'm almost dead after a few shots. It takes a substantial amount of health out of me. I'm fine after a get off the little island. Reflect 23:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Have you found the island yet? I was thinking it was a Bloatfly, until you said it was killing you... Fat Man Spoon 23:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's worth pointing out that the "red marks" you refer to will appear only if an enemy is actually detected by your character. Whether or not you can detect an enemy depends on a lot of things, but primarily on distance and your Perception stat.  I have seen enemies actually shoot at me before without showing up as red marks.  In that case, you won't be able to use VATS, either.  I would just exit the Lighthouse and stand still, looking around for bullets.  You might die, but you can reload your autosave from when you walked out the door.  Eventually, you'll spot him... and then you can go and get your revenge.  (Of course, you might actually have a real game bug, but I've never seen one like that myself.  I've been attacked by enemies that were "clipped" into the ground or a wall, but in that case, they're close enough to show up on the compass, even if they were hard to actually find.)  Good luck with your personal "haunting," there!  Spooky stuff. 12.204.48.130 07:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep I know about the perception and the red "tick" marks that appear on your radar. On this account I have it about 5 (my first account, others it's like 1 lol). And you can actually target someone in vats without there being a red mark.


 * Anyways... I found out what was happening. The sniper wandered off the island into the water and was shooting me underneath. There were no bullets in the air to trace back so I just wandered around until I was really close to him and found him. I loaded an early save like a minute or two before this one and he was sitting in the shack like the spoon said. Kinda weird what 1 minute difference makes. Damn, that guys has a good shot too. I can't even see him on my screen (just the shack) and he can hit me. He doesn't really miss either. And the reason I died faster was cuz my guy was naked (forgot to mention that)... so yeah...


 * Oh and I have had invisible enemies before. Ones that appear and don't appear on radar. If you look at them, the crosshairs will turn red and their name appears. Only happened a couple of times so I know it is possible for this to happen. Reflect 17:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Decoration
Was I the only person who kept the bulb to display inside my house alongside my piece of brain and my ? JFreeman 23:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Fat Man Spoon 23:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not everyday you have the chance to steal a very large working light bulb. JFreeman 23:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

My local hardware store begs to differ... Fat Man Spoon 23:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

any body been there?
i was just about to vacation in that area and visit the acctual lighthouse AND THEN i found out about the add on thought that was weird... anyway any of you guys acctualy been there?

Smugglers a no-show?
Anyone know what might prevent the Smugglers' arrival from triggering? Blackmonolith 09:28, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Same here, no sign of them. Shame really, i wanted a wasteland legend outfit for my collection. Casputin 00:16, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: Try walking around the boardwalk, see if you can trigger the smuggler ambush. I think that did it for me. Can anyone verify? Casputin 14:29, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

flowers
The skeleton on the bench with the 10mm pistol and the whiskey and baby carriage got mentioned, but what I came looking for was mention of the flowers on the bench with the skeleton. I hadn't seen flowers in the game before, and thought it mighty odd that there were flowers in the waste. Have they been seen by others? 216.96.201.237 23:53, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * The first other example I can think of is in Tenpenny Tower. There is a vase with a flower in it on the front desk (it looks kind of like a Foxglove plant's flowers). I know I've seen them a couple other places... I just can't remember where. There may be some indoors upstairs by Tenpenny's suite, but those might just be plants. Uh... I may have seen one in Vault 101 before, but I'm not sure. Anyway, that's not the only place :)
