Great walk through!!!! It is very well put together but I do want to be constructive and say for some of us with color blindness white on black with so many words is a little hard to adjust to. But please keep writing guides and faqs.

Admin:

I may be redesigning the site to a white background/black text soon to make it more readable, but it'll be a lot of work. Thanks for your comment, it definitely pushes me toward that direction.

Great way to waste a perk. Giving you have a smart phone and WiFi. Maps online show every location.

Great guide, such accurate descriptions I never even needed to once look up a video. Wonderful job.

NOOB TIP: To those who may be having problems defeating deathclaws, I'd recommend you save up about 750-1200 caps
(depending on your barter skill) and make your way to tenpenny tower. Go inside and search for Lydia Montenegro and purchase the Dart Gun schematics from her and seek out the parts to make it, they're all pretty easy to find (paint gun, rad-scorpion poison gland, surgical tubing, and a toy car) but if you're like me you'll have a bit of trouble finding the car, so search Lucas Simms house in Megaton if possible or just keep searching. The reason this is worth it is that the dart gun causes both the target's legs to become crippled with only one shot,this drastically lowers their movement speed and when used on a deathclaw, it turns them into what may as well be a sack of Xp because you can just walk backwards shooting while they limp after you.

Admin:

I tried my best to be descriptive about the bobbleheads' locations and am glad it's helped despite the lack of screenshots.

Also, great tip! Thanks for sharing.

The most efficient way to dispatch Deathclaws is the unique ALIEN BLASTER. This extremely powerful gun is located at the alien beacon(ZETA DLC) or w/o the add-on a simple UFO crash site...a scant few squares or less to the NORTHWEST of Minefield...IF I remember correctly. This blaster can drop a deathclaw into a pile of ash in 1-2 shots and also from a distance or directly on top of you and works great with VATS up to 4 shots for all your AP! The ammo MUST be conserved for DEATHCLAWS, SUPER MUTANT OVERLORDS, and MUTANT BUOEMUTHS (3 shots and the toughest enemy in the game is ash baby!) W/o the DLCs you get close to 200 ALIEN POWER CELLS on the ground next to the blaster and alien body to ration...W/ Mothership Zeta and Broken Steel add-ons close to 500 ALIEN POWER CELLS ammo is possible. TRUST ME. I walk confident and unscathed through Old Olney/Old Olney underground to the Deathclaw Sanctuary. These terrors of the wasteland are no more!

Admin:

Thanks for sharing the great info on killing off Deathclaws. I did not get the DLC and update the guide for them, as you can tell. Now it's a bit too late for me to do that with other projects, so I definitely appreciate such detailed comments to help other readers.

There's another Alien Blaster in Adam's Airforce Base with another 200 or so rounds.

Another easy way to kill deathclaws easily, get the Operation: Achorage DLC, complete it and use the Chinese stealth suit. Crouch down and sneak around. Most of the time you can just walk past deatchlaws (if you have a high sneak) or at the very least get close enough for sneak attack criticals.

This guide was beyond helpful! Iv got all bobble heads now!!!!! Also for those having trouble with death claws, use the tesla cannon if you found one or use .44 mag.

Or just use the dart gun. It cripples them making them slow.

I almost got all of the bobbleheads by myself until I missed the energy weapons bobblehead in the enclave base and blew it up. Making it so that I could never go in there again, but I think you never could go back in the base after you leave it. So, eventually I forgot about and digressed from failing to be granted the achievement.. until I would get another achievement and as I would be looking at that one I would remember the bobblehead I missed. Right after I had got all my skills to 100 my Xbox 360 starting eating my disks, lost my data from improper storage transfer and now I have to start all over. Looking at the bright side now, I know where everything is thanks to Carl, but not trying to sound like a complete douche I also mastered the damn game, from playing it in six different ways with six different characters. All I'm saying is that guides like this really help and you won't have to study how to make your character to be perfect like I did.

If you passed the Enclave mission, no, sorry.
I had that happen to me. It's just I got caught up in the mission so I completely forgot. If you ever play through the game again, just remember to grab it.
