After helping Vin look for a cure for his sister in the Honor Bound quest in Fallout 76, it seems that players will need to directly confront their father, Antonio. This quest is a long one, and requires adventuring through the worn-down Atlantic City to find some answers for Abbie.
In the Sins of the Father quest, you'll need to make some tough choices in order to save Abbie's life, or the quest could end poorly for the Russo family. If you're looking for some answers on how to successfully complete this mission, we will go over everything you need to do.
Fallout 76: How To Build CAMP Shelters
Shelters are a useful addition to your CAMP. Here is how you can build them in Fallout 76.
How to Start Sins of the Father in Fallout 76
To start Sins of the Father, you will first need to complete these other quests:
- Opportunity Knocking
- All the World's a Stage
- Honor Bound
This quest chain can be started by visiting the Rose Room, found in the northeastern section of the map. It'll be just east of Morgantown and Morgantown High School, and you can begin the first quest by heading downstairs inside the Rose Room and watching the show. Eventually, after completing the first three quests, you'll unlock Sins of the Father after visiting Atlantic City with Vin.
Fallout 76: How To Respec
It's not uncommon for players to make mistakes when building their character in Fallout 76, but luckily, fixing said mistakes is quick and painless.
How to Complete Sins of the Father in Fallout 76
After meeting with Vin back in the Rose Room, and confronting Antonio, you'll now get started on the quest. Here's everything you need to complete.
Uncover Antonio's Secret
Now, you'll be taken into the back room of the club where Antonio will introduce his secret. However, a lot of people have had issues with approaching Antonio due to being told that the character is busy. To fix this, just quit the game to the main menu, and open it back up again, and you'll be able to talk with Antonio.
Travel to the Flooded City Center
Now, open up the map and Expeditions, and make your way to the Flooded City Center in Atlantic City. Then, head back to the chem lab to meet up with Gene and Antonio. Inside the chem lab, you'll find out that you'll need to draw out the Jersey Devil from the Pine Barrens.
Spread the Devil Pheromones
For this part, head back outside to the Flooded City Center. There will be five spots that you need to visit to spread the Devil Pheromones, all marked by a yellow square. You'll also see each location on the bottom compass, with some locations being on the bottom ground level, and others being on the upper level. After placing the last devil pheromones, talk to Antonio.
Defeat the Jersey Devil
After hearing a loud noise, you and Antonio will need to head outside to find the Jersey Devil. Just follow Antonio to the location, and you'll begin the battle with the boss. This is a difficult fight, so we highly recommend coming prepared with Stimpaks and grenades to make the battle easier.
It is also recommended that you utilize VATS against the Jersey Devil to eliminate the struggle of aiming.
After defeating the monster, approach Antonio, and he will suggest that you take more blood than you need. There are three choices here:
- Convince Antonio that choosing to take more than needed would drive him further away from his daughter. This choice will lead Abbie to stay with Antonio and the rest of her family, while also taking the antidote.
- Take a neutral stance, saying, 'Wouldn't that kill it?'. If you go down this route, and continue to choose neutral answers, Abbie will still take the antidote, but will decide to leave Antonio and her family and stay in Atlantic City.
- Encourage Antonio's idea and tell him there's no harm in taking some. You can then approach the Jersey Devil and harvest more blood than needed. This option will end up in Abbie not taking the antidote, and she'll run away from her family.
Finally, after making your choice and harvesting the blood, talk with Antonio, and you'll return to the chem lab.
Return to Gene
In this last section, you'll need to search for Abbie. Follow Antonio, and eventually you'll meet with Abbie in a secluded bar. In order to successfully convince her to take the antidote and stay with her family, you'll have to make sure you convince Antonio to not harvest extra blood, and choose the first dialogue option every time. If you want to take a neutral stance, you can choose the middle dialogue option for each response. And, finally, if you want to take the negative route, choose the last dialogue option.
There seems to be a bug in the section where you and Antonio meet up with Abbie in the bar. To prevent softlocking yourself out of this quest, when you go to meet Abbie, make sure that you do not exit the conversation at any point. You'll also want to make sure there aren't any enemies following you into the bar.
Afterward, return to Gene and she will provide Abbie with the Blood Sample (or return to Gene and give her the bad news after Abbie runs off). Finally, you'll head back to the Rose Room and meet with all the Russos, and the quest will be wrapped up. You'll receive:
