The excavated muck holes are unmarked locations in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout, found one block east and slightly north of the Lil' Tyke Playhouse. They are part of the An Antique Land side quest.
Layout
The excavated muck holes are the result of a Bysshe Company pre-War research team surveying bio-gas. The muck holes are heavily irradiated, abandoned, contain gas pockets, and contain the soil sample holotapes. If the player character uses flame-based weapons, merely stepping into a pocket of gas while equipped with the flamer, Shishkebab, or various other flame weapons with it drawn will cause the gas to ignite, setting them on fire. Likewise, drawing such a weapon while standing in gas will also cause it to ignite.
Sample site one
This excavated muck hole is north of the trash heap. Inside there is a desk with a few items on it, such as:
- Soil survey tape #1
- Two bio-gas canisters
- One fission battery
- One advanced radiation suit
- Outside the muck hole is a destroyed shack surrounded by a muck pool. A mini nuke can be found in an open safe next to the bed frame on top of the heap.
Sample site two
This excavated muck hole is one block east and slightly north of the Lil' Tyke Playhouse. Inside there is:
- Soil survey tape #2
- One fission battery.
- A footlocker containing three bio-gas canisters
- Outside the muck hole there is a desk, a couple feral ghouls and a muck pool.
Sample site three
This excavated muck hole is northwest of the jet crash site. Inside there is:
- A skeleton with soil survey tape 3 next to it.
- A shovel
- Two bio-gas canisters
- Two stimpaks
- Outside the third muck hole is a destroyed shack with a table and a ham radio.
Appearances
The excavated muck holes appear only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
