Eliminate Targets in Mass Pike


Use the yellow elevator to reach the hideout.

The mission is divided into two main parts. To unlock the first one, you need to earn a few approval points from MacCready. This can be done easily by stealing items, particularly from buildings. Once you have enough approval, MacCready will initiate a conversation with you.

During the first part of the quest, you must travel to the Mass Pike Interchange, where a group of mercenaries have their base on the highway. To reach it, you must locate a yellow elevator below. In addition to regular enemies, you will encounter an opponent with power armor and two key enemies – Winlock and Barnes – whom you must eliminate (they are your only objectives).

Visit the Med-Tek Laboratory and Retrieve the Cure


After eliminating the targets, travel a bit further with MacCready and earn more approval.

Once you complete the first part of the quest, continue traveling with MacCready and earn his approval. After a while, you will learn that his son is ill and that you need to find a cure for him. The cure can be found in the basement of the Med-Tek Research facility.


MacCready will give you access to the terminal.

The entire laboratory is occupied by various ghouls. First, you need to use the collapsed ceilings to reach the highest floor. In one of the rooms, you will find a working terminal. Once you approach it and eliminate the enemies in your line of sight, MacCready will provide you with the password to the computer. You can then proceed to the ground floor and use the second terminal.


In the basement, you will encounter stronger ghouls than the ones in the main building.

After traversing the corridor, you must use the elevator to reach the basement. There is a locked laboratory on the lower level. Inside, there are many ghouls, so it’s worth preparing a trap for them at the door. The cure can be found on the table in the middle of the room. You can return to the surface more quickly by using the elevator in front of the laboratory entrance.

Deliver the Cure to Daisy


Speak to Daisy in Goodneighbor.

The final phase of the quest involves bringing the medicine to Daisy, the shopkeeper in Goodneighbor. After a brief conversation, the quest will come to a close. You may need to complete side quests for her before you can give her the medicine.

Quest rewards: Experience points.
