Fallout 76 has, over a period of time, added a lot of interesting content including side quests, NPCs which make the post-apocalyptic wasteland that much more interesting and engaging enough to spend time in. One such lengthy quest will have you hunting and killing several different types of enemies to get your hands on a legendary melee weapon. In this article, we have put up all the details on how to successfully complete the side quest Forging A Legend in Fallout 76
Forging A Legend In Fallout 76 : How To Start
The Forging A Legend quest starts on hearing the holotape ‘Order of Mysteries – The Blade of Bastet’ at the Cryptos terminal. This terminal is accessed through a secret door in the Riverside Manor basement. The location is hinted as part of ‘Into The Mystery’ quest; and can only be completed if you have the ‘Worn Veil’ looted off a corpse that starts the Into The Mystery quest. The corpse always spawns in a random location, but you can try outside the AVG Medical Center where maximum no. of players have come across the corpse carrying the Worn Veil. Once you have that, in the Riverside Manor, there is a hidden door to be accessed while wearing this Veil, which leads to the basement and the Cryptos terminal.
This will then start a quest-line under the Initiate of Mysteries that will have you travel to Lewisburg and then come back – we won’t detail the quest line here as it is a pretty linear one. Once you have completed it, the next set of objectives under this quest arc will load, that will have you getting a Phantom Device. The second one among these is of interest to us – getting the Blade of Bastet. Access the mission board in the Cryptos terminal and select Novice | The Blade of Bastet; and listen to the holotape on the PipBoy to start the Forging A Legend quest
How To Complete Forging A Legend In Fallout 76
- Go to the entry Database Queries in Cryptos and then Novice | Historic Swords which will update the quest location as the Whitespring Service Entrance in the Whitespring Presidential Cottage.
- Before travelling to that location, craft the Swing Analyzer at the Fabrication Terminal just down the corridor from the Cryptos terminal
- Next, head to the Whitespring Presidential Cottage – this can be done by first travelling to the Whitespring Golf Club and then heading to a set of cottages following the main road. This is a big area and also has a part to play in the main quest and several side quests and fetch quests; and is highly likely that some or the other quest would have brought you here first.
- The first cottage will have the Blade displayed in a glass case; but you will need a password to be entered at a nearby terminal to unlock it. This can be picked off a robot lying in the next room at the side of the piano
- Next, go to a Weapons Workbench and modify the Grant’s Saber to add the Swing Analyzer to it
- You will now have to kill six different creature types – rodent, ghoul, robot, canine and so on. The count will get updated every time this is done, so you will know if you are doing the right thing here. Once the last creature type has been killed, you can then go to the Riverside Manor and use the Fabricator terminal to craft the Blade of Bastet.
And that completes an intricate and involved quest line for Forging A Legend in Fallout 76. The game also has several interesting weapons to base your build around; and you can check out our guides on a few of those like the Medical Malpractice, the Ticket to Revenge or the Tesla Rifle in Fallout 76.
