Detailed walkthrough
The Sole Survivor might hear most Covenant from settlers, Diamond Urban center guards, or a passing trader, which volition put its marker on the map and a quest entry to "Investigate Covenant." Upon approaching the gate, the Sole Survivor is greeted by Swanson. He explains that to enter Covenant, visitors have to laissez passer a exam to filter out "undesirables." By pressuring for data and successfully passing increasingly hard speech checks, details virtually synths and the Institute can be learned. Swanson will exist adamant about administering the Rubber test to make certain the Sole Survivor is non a synth. Later taking a seat at the table and answering all the questions, the gate to the settlement will open. It is incommunicable for the player grapheme to neglect the exam.
Unlike other settlements effectually the Commonwealth, Covenant is surrounded past tall physical walls sprinkled with defensive turrets, and the houses and the grand are in pristine status. The Sole Survivor even mentions how everything looks almost pre-State of war. Several companions volition voice suspicions that the village is hiding something, although none of them seem aware of its true nature. Speak to Honest Dan. He will explain he has been hired to investigate a missing caravan and find Amelia Stockton, the missing girl of the prominent Stockton family. He also suggests the inhabitants of Covenant might be involved in both cases. He offers to divide the reward in exchange for aid in the investigation. Afterward the actor character agrees to help, Dan will provide what he knows in the form of a annotation, caravan details. Passing speech checks with him may net more than caps and info.
Exit Covenant and head northeast along the road, then become east at the junction to find the bodies of Fred O'Connell, his guards, and the remains of the missing caravan. A can of Deezer'due south lemonade establishes that the caravan had visited Covenant (if the quest has not begun, the libation box will not be attainable yet). With a Perception of half dozen or higher, a blood trail on the route close to the scene can be investigated to reveal that "the blood trail leads roughly in the direction of Covenant." Questioning the inhabitants of Covenant yields little info as they are adamant nearly having nothing to exercise with it. They are likewise oddly prissy, nearly saccharine.
To observe more than clues, enter the firm on the far end of the settlement to discover a property cell, a bookcase with self-aid material, a locked terminal, and a non-functional radio. With Luck of at to the lowest degree 9, the histrion character can "fiddle" with the radio and briefly choice up a phonation broadcast referencing the remains of Stockton's caravan. Outside one of the houses is a bedroll left by the caravan staff, which can be investigated, but it isn't clear enough who information technology belonged to.
Hack the terminal when no 1 is looking to find out Covenant's real purpose. Hacking the terminal when not sneaking will turn the whole boondocks hostile. It is also possible to gather information by speaking to one of the settlers, Talia McGovern, and disarming her that Honest Dan is a synth subsequently passing a few Charisma checks. Alternatively, enter the shop and accept the piece of newspaper from the trash can or pass increasingly harder voice communication checks with Penny Fitzgerald to reveal the clues. Another alternative is to either pickpocket the key from Jacob Orden (the near optimal way is to steal this from him while he is asleep in the guest house) or selection the lock to the residents' firm directly left of the gate and observe the piece of paper near the door. If pickpocket is also risky, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. the doors to the start business firm on the left when entering Covenant will be open up (in general, all of the buildings in Covenant can eventually be entered without the need to pick a lock, through the expedient of following the residents around until they open the doors on their daily schedule). On the table is a key and a paper that has Jacob's password. Residents may get hostile if they see stealing. They will result warnings if they see the role player character enter the residents' house. One tin can also find the location of the chemical compound at the role final (the door and the terminal are both Master locks) or by obtaining the map to the Compound. Alternatively it is possible to get directly to the Compound without obtaining clues, if the actor (not the player character) already knows its location.
Once learning well-nigh the existence of the compound, the Sole Survivor can either talk to Dan or go alone. When they effort to exit Covenant, Jacob Orden will be at the gate and will try to convince the Sole Survivor to drop the instance, fifty-fifty going as far as offering a bribe. If they succeed at a speech check seeking "compromise", Jacob will send word ahead to the compound, and the player graphic symbol will be able to endeavor to negotiate with Manny more easily one time inside the compound.
To notice the compound, caput to the fishing spot east and beneath of Mystic Pines - an inlet with three outflow pipes, direct west of Covenant on the exact opposite side of the lake - and enter the middle outflow pipe (expect some rad exposure when entering and leaving). If the Sole Survivor told Honest Dan almost the chemical compound, he will exist waiting inside and will follow. Go on along the pipe to face Manny, armed guards and a turret. Successfully passing a oral communication check with Manny volition allow the Sole Survivor to exist escorted deep inside the complex to meet Dr. Chambers. This check is easier if Orden sent word alee nigh a compromise. Honest Dan has unique dialogue if he is also existence escorted. Otherwise, fighting through the complex becomes necessary. On the way there, clues about people being held captive and ongoing experiments/torture tin can be found, whether fighting or being escorted.
Once in the presence of the doctor, she explains her motivations, and her intentions of trying to reveal subconscious synths who infiltrated the populace by creating and perfecting the Safety examination, a sort of psychological exam involving studying reactions of the subject to several situational questions. It tin can be learned that as a child she was afflicted past the Broken Mask incident, or a similar incident, losing both parents. Improving the Rubber examination involves establishing a "baseline" and then requires various forms of psychological and physical torture to incite reactions from the subject field to validate the results. Dr. Chambers may also explicate that the reason for refusing to release Amelia is, that she is nigh likely a synth infiltrator - hence why her caravan was attacked to seize her - but that even if she is not, releasing her now would compromise the operation at the Chemical compound. Dr. Chambers volition offering to pay the same caps reward offered past Honest Dan, to exist allowed to dispose of Amelia Stockton. Accepting her offering will result in the promised caps reward, freedom to come and go in the Chemical compound, and (after speaking to Jacob Orden) obtaining Covenant as a settlement.
An culling path to reach this quest stage is to bypass both Dan and Covenant entirely, and only proceed into the compound. So one has to either pass the difficult oral communication check with Manny or fight off all residents except for Dr. Chambers, who volition remain non-hostile. Talking with her volition then outset the quest. Another option is to ignore the physician altogether and moving upwards to Amelia's prison house prison cell to speak with her, which will also start the quest. Yet another way to get-go the quest is to peacefully gain entrance to Covenant, and so gaining access to Jacob's concluding unseen (e.g. without the inhabitants becoming hostile), which will trigger his dialogue with him upon attempting to go out the settlement. One can so movement to and enter the compound through the sewage pipage, initiating the quest.
At the point of reaching Dr. Chambers and Amelia, the Sole Survivor has several choices:
- Deciding to side with the doctor. If accompanied by Honest Dan, this will cause him to become hostile, and killing him will be necessary. Information technology is not possible to kill Dan earlier every bit he is marked essential until the final part of the dialogue is completed. Amelia will be killed by the doctor if she is not killed past the player grapheme. Inspecting Amelia'due south body after decease reveals that she was indeed a synth. Return to Jacob to win Covenant as a usable settlement. There is as well a reward of 300 caps from Dr. Chambers at the completion of this quest.
- Deciding to side with Honest Dan and free Amelia will turn the doctor, Manny (who may be present) and the rest of the chemical compound (autonomously from the heavy machinegun turret at the entrance) hostile, making it necessary to kill them all. Amelia is in one of the cells up the stairs which can be opened by using the terminal or past picking the lock. After, speak to Dan to receive a reward. By passing increasingly harder speech checks, more rewards can be earned. Choosing this option will also turn all inhabitants of Covenant hostile, except for Deezer and Dora (the cat). Kill all hostiles to win Covenant equally a usable (albeit with some difficulties) settlement.
- A third selection will make itself bachelor if the Sole Survivor does non bring Honest Dan to the compound. After freeing Amelia, every bit they would when siding with Dan, they can turn the quest in to One-time Man Stockton, who can be found at Bunker Hill. He volition give the same 300 bottlecap advantage offered by the doctor and Honest Dan, although at that place is no way to increase the reward through speech checks. If the thespian graphic symbol has already completed Boston Later Nighttime, the Sole Survivor tin can remark about making a habit out of helping him. The quest cannot be turned in to him if Honest Dan accompanies the actor character, however; he will simply say that he already contracted someone to observe the missing caravan. Upon returning to Covenant, all inhabitants will be hostile, and it volition be necessary to kill them all except Deezer to receive Covenant every bit a settlement. If choosing this option, almost everything inside the compound volition be considered stolen, making information technology very complicated to use this settlement. Onetime Man Stockton is a nonessential grapheme and can be killed. If he has already been killed and the Sole Survivor chooses to salve Amelia, without bringing Dan to the compound, the quest will say "Failed" immediately later on the "Find Erstwhile Human being Stockton" objective appears and it becomes impossible to complete.
- A "fourth" option is as well bachelor to the player character. If they arrive at the compound without Honest Dan, they tin can engage Amelia in conversation before freeing her or letting her be killed by the dr. and she will direct the player character to Old Man Stockton, claiming he will give a advantage for freeing her. The quest will update as though the actor graphic symbol has freed Amelia and the quest marker will lead them to Onetime Man Stockton. If the player character leaves Amelia in her cell and turns in the quest to Old Man Stockton, the quest will be complete, just in this example, upon return to Covenant, all inhabitants will be friendly to the player character. If the histrion character has passed the speech cheque at the compound, all inhabitants there volition remain friendly every bit well. Although everyone is all the same alive, this choice offers the least amount of rewards, as there is no way to obtain Covenant as a settlement.
- Releasing Amelia after like-minded to practice the bargain with Dr. Chambers causes the Compound to go hostile, and Covenant does not ally freely as a settlement.

Behind the scenes
- The Safety test is really the G.O.A.T. from Fallout 3, with all references to vaults (and the 10th question) removed.
- The development of the SAFE test to notice and remove synths (machines physically indistinguishable from humans) from the populace and many parts of this mission and dialogues, are a direct reference to the movie Blade Runner (based on the Phillip. Chiliad. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"). The SAFE exam is a direct reference to the Voight-Kampff examination, which tests the subject'due south responses to situational questions past measuring preconscious compassionate reflexes and childhood memories that are unremarkably absent from synthetic people.
Bugs
- If inbound Covenant tardily in the game after one has destroyed the Railroad or sided with the Institute, the residents of will immediately be hostile - simply not until subsequently taking and passing the S.A.F.E. test and walking through the gate. If Curie is a companion in this situation, she will also go hostile.
