    How to unlock The Local Flavor

    Story Related and Unmissable

    Before starting this DLC, make sure all your equipment is fully repaired and you have plenty of ammo and health items because there are some major battles coming up. Make "The Local Flavor" your active Quest and then head for the Riverboat Landing. The fastest way to get to the Riverboat Landing is to Fast Travel to the Arlington Library then walk the rest of the way but watch out for the Talon Company base that's nearby. When you arrive at the Landing, you will be approached by a woman called Catherine who wants you to find her daughter, Nadine. Agree to look for her then talk to Tobar the Boatman and buy a Ticket to Point Lookout. To travel to PL you have to sleep on the Passenger Cot in the room opposite where Tobar is standing.

    WARNING: There is a nasty but rare freeze-glitch that can occur when you try to approach Tobar the Boatman on the Duchess Gambit for the first time. To fix this, dismiss any and all Companions, change to another weapon, fire off a round or two, turn off the radio and wait for 27 in-game hours. After you've waited for 27 hours, talk to Catherine about her daughter then approach Tobar, buy a ticket, sleep on the provided Passenger Cot and go to Point Lookout. After arriving at Point Lookout, talk to Tobar again then return to the Capital Wasteland, collect your Companion(s) then go back to the boat and return to Point Lookout once more.

    Once you arrive at Point Lookout, Tobar will have a short conversation with you then you can make your way to the Calvert Mansion. After arriving at the Mansion, a voice will appear on a loudspeaker and order you inside. There is a Ghoul called Desmond who will tell you to help him kill all the Tribals that have invaded the Mansion. This will not be easy as they are extremely tough so make sure you're packing some serious firepower, plenty of Stims and lots of Chems! When all of the Tribals are dead, talk to Desmond and he'll ask you to find out why the Tribals have recently got so violent. To do this you must visit their base in a Cathedral to the North of the Mansion. Desmond will give you the Superior Defender Perk (which grants you +5 damage and +10 armour when standing still) for clearing out the Mansion and the trophy will pop during the conversation.
