The Key to It All (Except There Isn't Actually a Key)
Here's the thing: there isn't a physical key for the shelter. Shocking, I know. But fear not, because Bethesda, in their infinite wisdom, has bestowed upon us the glorious option of... hacking a terminal!
Wait, hacking? But my hacking skills are about as useful as a ghoul in a library!
Don't worry, sunshine! You don't need to be a tech wizard for this one. The terminal you need is conveniently located in the guard tower that sits right next to the shelter. It's like they were practically begging you to get in! Just pop a squat, fire up the terminal, and with a (hopefully successful) button mash, voila! The door will creak open like a rusty hinge.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Side note: If you're feeling a little peckish, there's a handy dandy explosive container with some grenades in the guard tower. Because, you know, wasteland snacks.
Welcome to the Subterranean Soiree! (Except It's Mostly Just Dust and Skeletons)
Now that you're inside, prepare to be amazed by... well, a long, dusty corridor. But hey, at least you're out of the wasteland! Keep on movin' through the tunnels, and you'll eventually reach a three-way fork. Take a right for some stealthy fun (a Stealth Boy awaits!), or head left or straight to explore the main shelter.
Important: Be prepared for a rude welcome from some sentry turrets. These robotic buzzkills like to add a little "pew pew" to your exploration. You can either hack the terminal controlling them (if your skills are up to snuff) or go in guns blazing. Just remember, collateral damage is a real bummer in a cramped shelter.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Fun Fact: There's a hidden safe down in the shelter, but you'll need to find the Boston Mayoral Shelter Safe Key to crack it open. Happy hunting!
