Bypassing the Dewey Decimal System: How to Infiltrate the Boston Public Library in Fallout 4
So, you're in the wasteland, fresh off scraping together some bottlecaps and a dream of pre-war knowledge. The rumors are swirling about a treasure trove of information - the Boston Public Library. But unlike borrowing a dusty tome back in the day, gaining entry in this post-apocalyptic world requires a little more...finesse.
Fear not, fellow wastelander! This guide will equip you with the cunning of Codsworth and the charisma of a pre-war politician (minus the questionable hair).

| How To Get Into Boston Public Library Fallout 4 |
Option 1: The Social Butterfly
Because who needs a lockpick when you've got the gift of gab?
Head to the side entrance of the library. You'll be greeted by a rusty door and a dusty intercom. Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance - this is your ticket to literary paradise (or at least a terminal with some sweet lore).
Here's the golden part: Use the intercom and unleash your inner silver-tongued smooth talker. An easy Speech check will convince the automated secretary you're a long-lost librarian (bonus points for a convincing Boston accent). Poof! Door swings open, turrets stand down, and you're waltzing in like you own the place. Just try not to get lost in the stacks - those pre-war Dewey Decimal classifications can be a real labyrinth!
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Word to the Wise: This method makes the robots friendly, but might stir up some not-so-friendly Super Mutants who fancy themselves patrons as well. Be prepared for a literary brawl!
Option 2: The Lockpicking Larry (or Loretta)
For those who speak the language of bobby pins and patience.
This option is a classic for a reason. If your charisma is lower than a ghoul's IQ, you can always resort to good ol' fashioned lockpicking. The same side entrance has a lock just begging to be manipulated with your trusty bobby pins (or whatever lockpick magic you possess).
Just a heads up: This approach might have the robots inside rethinking their hospitality protocols. Get ready for some laser beams and robotic disapproval.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Pro-Tip: Invest in some Lockpicking perks to make this a breeze. Nobody wants to spend all day fiddling with a rusty lock while feral ghouls tap their feet impatiently outside.
Option 3: The Tunnel Terror (Not recommended for claustrophobes)
Because who doesn't love a good post-apocalyptic spelunking adventure?
 |
The Boston Public Library wouldn't be a true wasteland landmark without a good ol' subway entrance. Head to the other side of the building and prepare for a subterranean trek. Just remember, the tunnels might be crawling with more than just curious radroaches.
This path eventually leads to... another locked door. But hey, at least you got some exercise, right? You might find a key on a hapless Super Mutant on this route, but that's just a wasteland gamble.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Unless you're packing some serious firepower (and maybe a RadAway or two), this option is best left to the thrill-seekers.
So You've Breached the Library... Now What?
Congratulations! You've outsmarted the robots, outsneaked the mutants, and are now surrounded by more books than you can shake a Geiger counter at. Now comes the fun part - exploring the treasures within.
But before you get lost in the musty scent of pre-war paper, remember there might be more to this library than meets the eye. Keep an eye out for hidden caches, unique weapons, and maybe even a rogue synth hiding amongst the stacks.
