Fallout 4 Crucible Quest Guide

A guide to completing one of the new quests in Fallout 4, Crucible.

Fallout 4‘s next-generation update has brought with it additional missions, which of course means new loot has been introduced to the game in the form of settlement cosmetics, Power Armor, weaponry, and more. This update brings a couple of new weaponry additions to the game, and while you can get the Tesla Cannon with two different quests – Best of Three and Echoes of the Past – the Heavy Incinerator is only available through completing the Crucible quest. The Heavy Incinerator is definitely a weapon you’ll have a lot of fun with, and this isn’t an overly difficult or complicated quest, so it’s definitely worth going through.

Basic Objectives

• Investigate Saugus Ironworks 
• Read the Keeper’s note and search the toolbox
• Read the Forged recruit’s note 
• Use the terminal to move the crucible
• Turn off the flow of liquid metal
• Collect the buried items and craft the Flame Resistance mods
• Take the Ghoul’s Slayer Heavy Incinerator out of the crucible

Trigger Crucible

As is the case with some of the other update missions, if you’re starting a new playthrough you’ll have to progress through the story until your character has reached a decent enough level before this particular quest will trigger for you, but if you’re picking up where you left off there’s a good chance you’re already there. If you don’t already have Saugus Ironworks available as a fast travel location, you can find it south of Parson’s State Insane Asylum, or southwest of Salem.
