Fens Street Sewer Sewers

Description

The Fens Street Sewer in Fallout 4 serves as a chilling backdrop to the story of the Fens Phantom, a serial killer whose gruesome acts are laid bare through holotapes left behind.

Background / History

• The sewers are the stage where the “Fens Phantom” displays his kills to an unnamed detective who’s hot on his trail.
• Following the trail of holotapes left by the murderer, the Sole Survivor can uncover the killer’s fixation on the detective, leading to his eventual demise or capture.

Layout

• Exterior: Access to the sewers is through a manhole north of Diamond City. Head west from the main gate, then north into a side alley where the entrance is surrounded by railings.
• Interior: The sewers reveal a macabre scene of skeletons and chilling displays. Skeletons arranged in peculiar postures, baby strollers, and eerie decorations line the path.
• The journey leads through a maze of corridors, rooms, and flooded chambers, each hiding its own secrets and horrors.
• Throughout the sewer, you’ll encounter feral ghouls and even a glowing one, adding to the sense of danger and foreboding.
