Detailed walkthrough[]

After listening to Silver Shroud Radio in and/or near Goodneighbor, the quest will be added. From here, go to the Memory Den and speak to Kent Connolly in the room on the right side of the main room. He talks about his plan to revive the Silver Shroud as a living legend protecting Goodneighbor and asks the player character to find the Silver Shroud costume at Hubris Comics. A Persuasion check can be passed to get some caps upfront.

Head to Hubris Comics, slightly northeast of Trinity Tower (look for the billboard on top of the building). The place is infested with feral ghouls, including a glowing one on the top floor. Upon reaching the second floor, a Silver Shroud photo can be found in a corner reception room in a nearby display case next to a baseball bat and ball. The Silver Shroud script can be found on the third floor next to the producer's terminal. On the top floor, in the studio behind the backdrop, the Silver submachine gun prop can be found. Grab the Silver Shroud costume (which cannot be removed from the inventory until the quest has been completed) off the mannequin. Either return to the first floor door or use the nearby roof access to return to Goodneighbor and Kent.

He will give the Sole Survivor the agreed reward, plus a little extra for the memorabilia (up to 320 bottlecaps for all three). He then offers to have the player character become the Silver Shroud themselves and protect the innocent in his stead. One can decline the offer, which will leave the quest open with the objective "Talk to Kent."

If the offer is accepted, Kent gives the modified Silver Shroud armor, the Silver Shroud hat, his custom Silver submachine gun, some Silver Shroud calling cards to leave on enemies' bodies, and a few stimpaks after a Persuasion check. Kent instructs the Sole Survivor to listen to Silver Shroud Radio station while in Goodneighbor and he'll point out any "bad guys" to find. Using the Silver submachine gun is not required for the quest; however, it is necessary to wear the Silver Shroud costume to get the unique "Speak as Shroud" dialogue options for the duration of the quest (the hat is also optional).

While in Goodneighbor, listen to the radio to obtain the first target, Wayne Delancy, located behind the Hotel Rexford, who is accused of murder. Wayne is not immediately hostile and therefore can be spoken to as the Shroud. One will have the option of asking Wayne about the murder, which Wayne will happily confess to. The confession can also be coerced by simply threatening him. Regardless of the approach, Wayne must be killed and a Silver Shroud calling card be left on his corpse.

The next target is AJ, located near Bobbi No-Nose's place, who is accused of selling drugs to children. AJ has two bodyguards with him, but he and his party are not immediately hostile. AJ gives the option to take a bribe to leave him alone. One can either speak as the Shroud, threaten to kill AJ, or accept the bribe (50, 75, 90 or 200 caps) depending on the level of Persuasion. Good-natured companions will dislike the latter, however. If AJ is killed, a calling card must be left on the corpse.

Once AJ has been handled, the next target is Kendra, a notorious assassin. To find her, Kent points to Whitechapel Charlie in the Third Rail. The barkeep will ask for money, but speaking as the Shroud twice or passing a speech check will convince him to give the info for free, with Charlie advising that she can be found in Water Street apartments just south of Goodneighbor. Travel to the apartments and eliminate the raiders on the first floor. At the top of the stairs to the second floor, there is a hallway that has been laced with mines and a machine gun turret at the far end. Go through the doorway to the right at the end of the hallway and speak to Kendra. She will tell the Sole Survivor that they are in over their head before attacking. In her inventory, Kendra also has a contract to kill Shelly Tiller at the National Guard training yard, which creates an optional objective that nets a good amount of caps in a dead drop once the deed has been done (though, again, some companions will dislike if she's killed). Leave the calling card on the assassin's body and head back to Goodneighbor.

Upon returning to Goodneighbor, Kent reveals over the radio that John Hancock wants to meet with the Silver Shroud. Go to the meeting and he will task the Shroud with taking down Northy and Smiling Kate, two members of the gang working under Sinjin, along with the previous targets. There are a couple of Persuasion checks that can be passed, but neither can be done as the Shroud. Doing so has no negative effects; however, an additional 50 caps are given upfront for the job.

At Smiling Kate's quest marker she can be overheard plotting with some of Sinjin's men to directly go after their enemy, the Shroud. None of them are immediately hostile, so it is possible to talk with her as the Shroud. Her party turns hostile once this dialogue has been completed or the player character assaults them. At Northy's quest marker, however, due to his extreme paranoia, all targets are immediately hostile.

Once both parties have been eliminated, leave a calling card on the corpse of either Kate or Northy. On the corpse of whoever was killed last will be a holotape. It's revealed that Sinjin knows about the radio and has targeted Kent in Goodneighbor. Return to the Memory Den in Goodneighbor and speak to Irma. She will explain that Kent was taken by a group of armed raiders. Tune in to Silver Shroud Radio to learn that Sinjin has taken Kent to Milton General Hospital. If Irma has been killed before reaching this stage in the quest, one will not be able to talk to her in order to continue the quest. However, going to Milton's General Hospital will allow the quest to proceed as normal.

Upon arriving, there may be super mutant opposition at the adjacent locations. It is recommended to save right before entering the building and be sure to enter dressed as the Silver Shroud as several bugs have been reported which cause Kent to be killed prematurely.

The hospital is littered with raiders and traps as one makes their way down to the basement and follows the winding path. It is recommended to save again before taking the last elevator to confront Sinjin. From here there are several options:

  • Direct - Attack Sinjin from the elevator, before any conversation or interaction occurs, preferably with VATS headshots. Once he is dead, the raiders will attack the Sole Survivor instead of Kent. However this can (and most likely will) still result in Kent being killed immediately after Sinjin's death.
  • Stealth - A stealth approach to this encounter is dangerous. If Sinjin detects the Sole Survivor at any time, then stealth kicks back in, he will yell "You're not walking away from this!", kill Kent, then turn hostile. If Sinjin is killed with a stealth headshot, the unnamed raiders will turn and kill Kent, starting with the one to the left of the elevator. Avery is the only person not scripted to kill Kent, but commonly strafes behind him while shooting, inadvertently killing him in the process.
    • It is still entirely possible to kill Sinjin and the two raiders before they kill Kent, although their reaction time makes it effectively impossible without using Jet and a strong and fast weapon.
  • Intimidation - A Hard persuasion check will get Sinjin's gang to flee in fear. However, this method will cause Sinjin to immediately target Kent. If playing on survival difficulty it could be difficult for some characters to defeat Sinjin before he has a chance to kill Kent.
  • Pacify - For those with a high Charisma and the Intimidation perk, it is possible to pacify Sinjin and his bodyguards on exiting the elevator, before the dialogue options appear. After choosing option 1 or 2 above they will not target Kent, especially if turning the bodyguards against each other. This leaves Sinjin as a target.
  • Persuade - A Hard persuasion check can make Sinjin and his gang target the player character instead of Kent.
  • Beg - Sinjin can be asked to spare Kent, but he just kills Kent immediately. However it is possible to kill Sinjin before he kills Kent, with a sufficiently powerful weapon, and VATS head shot.
  • Kill Kent - Upon exiting the elevator, the player character can kill Kent themselves before talking to Sinjin. This will trigger a unique dialogue where Sinjin and his gang panic. Wearing Shroud's costume will further allow another unique dialogue where the player can turn Sinjin's gang to their side.
  • Silver Shroud - Speak to Sinjin three times in a row as the Silver Shroud and it will sufficiently terrify the rest of the raiders (including Avery), causing them to run away and become pacified. However, Sinjin alone will become hostile and immediately target and kill Kent if he's not killed fast enough. If one attempts to talk to Avery or the other two raiders after, they will say they did not want to work for Sinjin anyway.

Once Sinjin and his goons are defeated, and Kent was not killed, speak to him. He expresses regret at trying to change the world but can be persuaded to continue to continue helping the Silver Shroud. Return to Goodneighbor and speak with Hancock to collect the reward or talk to him immediately after talking to Kent if he was brought along as a companion. Talking with Kent again, if he was persuaded to help, he says that he will work up another job for the Silver Shroud later (see Notes), completing the quest.

Notes[]

  • Kent locks himself in his room while the quest is in progress from the point of the first target being given.
  • Hancock has two different versions of the dialogue in which he warns about Sinjin. If he is available as a companion, it will default to the second version, which is shorter and assumes he has been traveling with the player character to kill Kent's targets even if he has not. Hancock's affinity can only be affected by the second dialogue, despite the responses being similar to those in the first version, and even if this dialogue is carried out in a settlement full of the other companions. Further, to initiate the dialogue and continue the quest, Hancock must be the active companion, then selecting "Talk," thus the first version can never be obtained if The Big Dig has advanced far enough. Talking to Hancock as The Shroud is only possible in the first version.
    • Furthermore, if one has already completed The Big Dig and refused Hancock as a companion, he will not provide the dialogues necessary to complete The Silver Shroud. Upon trying to talk to him, he will only prompt the player character to let him travel with them. In order to complete The Silver Shroud, one will have to accept him as a companion or use console commands.
  • Nick and Curie may be sent to the Memory Den in accordance with Dangerous Minds and Emergent Behavior (which requires completing 'Dangerous Minds' but Nick will remain in the Den until he is spoken to). Since they share reactions to dialogue with Kent, it is possible to affect both of their affinities together via dialogue. This is one of the few quest scenarios where the affinity of multiple characters can be affected.
  • To keep the memorabilia, return to Hubris Comics and collect it after Kent returns the suit, or refuse Kent's initial offer to take the suit.
  • There is a Novice locked safe in the building Northy is waiting at.
  • A hidden perk called "True Hero" that increases Luck by 1 point is associated with this quest. It is not used anywhere, however. Cut content
  • After completing the quest, the Silver Shroud radio will become inactive, except if Kent survives to the completion of the quest. He will contact the player character and offer to upgrade the Silver Shroud costume to provide armor bonuses. He will do this a maximum of three times at character level 25, 35, and 45. The bonuses acquired each time are:
    • Shroud Costume: Reduces damage from humans by 15% - Agi: +1/Per: +1 / Wgt: 7
    • Lvl 25: 57 Ballistic, 57 Energy, 0 Radiation
    • Lvl 35: 70 Ballistic, 70 Energy, 0 Radiation
    • Lvl 45: 87 Ballistic, 87 Energy, 0 Radiation
      • Once the last of these upgrades has been received, the Silver Shroud station will no longer broadcast.
  • It is not required to place the Silver Shroud calling cards on the bodies of Smiling Kate, Northy and Sinjin.
  • Speaking as "The Shroud" only requires the costume to be equipped, but not the hat.
  • There is a Syringer inside the Advanced locked room on the second floor which can be used to paralyse Sinjin or make him flee.

Behind the scenes[]

The quest was primarily designed by Ferret Baudoin, while lead designer Emil Pagliarulo came up with the character of the Silver Shroud and wrote the in-game radio plays.[1] Ryan Jenkins also worked on level design for the quest.[2]

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Entering the hospital with Targeting HUD enabled may cause the raiders to execute him instantly, failing that part of the quest. Unequipping the modded helmet until Kent is safe will avert the issue while allowing the use of other power armor throughout the hospital.[verified]
  • PCPC On rare occasions the quest dialogue with Kent will not start. It can be fixed by going to Hotel Rexford and sleeping for a night.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One On rare occasions, the quest will stop progressing after one has killed AJ. The next objective is to listen to the Silver Shroud radio in Goodneighbor, but the radio will only broadcast the regular episodes. This problem can be fixed by independently locating and killing Kendra. She will be non-hostile even if all the raiders in the building have been killed. The Sole Survivor can talk to her, and she will become hostile after that.[verified]
  • PCPC After killing Kendra, if her body is moved by holding E, the option to leave the Silver Shroud calling card will bug out. You can move forward with the console command SetStage 00027556 599.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Hancock will stop the progression of the quest with a Deal with Bobbi loop if the player character spared or killed Bobbi after The Big Dig quest and refused Hancock to be a companion on "Meet with Hancock as the Shroud". This can be fixed by adding Hancock as a companion, and then talking to him as the companion.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One After saving Kent from Sinjin, he may become stuck in the hospital in the same location he was held prisoner. Speaking to Kent about the upgrades before he returns to Goodneighbor is a possible cause. Kent will still upgrade the armor after his radio broadcast airs, but the player character will have to fight through whatever spawns in the hospital to get to him. A possible fix is pushing him into the elevator (crouching makes pushing him to go a lot faster) and then going up a floor (though just leaving him there might also work). He'll walk himself back to Goodneighbor after that, meeting the player character along with Hancock.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One The player character may not be able to trigger the quest dialogue with Hancock if he is an available companion. A possible fix is to make Hancock the active companion and equip the Silver Shroud outfit. Quest dialogue starts after using "Talk" choice. Using console commands can skip the dialogue, too.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 "Search body for clues" may not check off after searching Northy's body leaving the player character with a quest blip over his body. However, the player character may progress through the rest of the quest regardless.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 After killing Kendra (and optionally Shelly) one will be tasked with listening to Silver Shroud Radio for an update. It's possible that this update won't actually play, and the quest will be perpetually stuck. Use the console command setstage MS04 600 to advance to the stage immediately after hearing the broadcast, which is to meet with Hancock.[verified]
  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One If one cannot finish the quest by talking to Hancock after having killed Sinjin, use the console command setstage MS04 1400.[verified]
  • PCPC After killing Wayne Delancy and leaving the calling card on his corpse, Kent may not inform the player character of the next target over the radio and the quest objective will not change from "Listen to Silver Shroud radio." This can be fixed by finding AJ and killing him. This causes the quest to continue as normal.[verified]
    • A similar situation can arise if one turns off the radio during Kent's radio message (There's a point in the middle where it sounds like the message is over). Both situations can be progressed past by using the console command setstage MS04 450 which sets the quest stage to the one after hearing the message. This, as opposed to just finding and killing AJ, allows for initiating the dialogue with him.
  • PCPC Upon entering the hospital Kent is killed instantly. This may be prevented if the player leaves their power armor prior to entering. This is due to a known bug in which the targeting HUD, if installed in power armor helmets, will turn some neutral mobs hostile, including Sinjin's bodyguards.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Clearing Milton General Hospital before the Silver Shroud quests can cause the hospital interior to respawn with robots in addition to the raiders. Upon exiting the second elevator, the robots and raiders will become hostile towards each other, causing Kent to be killed before the player has a chance to reach him. By utilizing the advanced locked door on the first floor, the player may be able to avoid this outcome. On PC, the console command tai can be used to temporarily disable enemy AI before entering the hospital, and turning it back on when reaching Sinjin.[verified]
    • Another fix for this bug is to use a suit of power armor equipped with a Jetpack modification, and then enter the hole in the hallway ceiling, from there both Protectrons can be destroyed and the quest can continue like normal.
  • PCPC Picking up the holotape off Northy's body and trying to listen to it while still in combat will cause the 'You cannot use this in combat' message to appear and the "Search the body for clues" marker to now follow the player until the quest is finished.[verified]
  • PCPC After speaking to Irma about Kent's kidnapping, the objective will update to "Listen to Silver Shroud station." This objective disappears after one saves and reloads, even if it has not yet been completed.[verified]
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 If the player can choose Hancock as a follower the quest stops if Hancock isn't the follower.[verified]
  • Playstation 4Playstation 4 When the player character proceeds to kill one of the targets, sometimes they will place the card too fast, and the game bugs and does not continue the quest. One can fix this by just continuing on from the quest instead of bothering about that part.
