In Megaton, you have 3 options to learn where dear old Dad went:
1) Talk to Moriarty who will, for 100 caps, offer to tell you where your father is. If you don't have the caps the price will go up to 300 the next time you speak with him. (He may offer a discount if you agree to kill Silver (in Springvale) and bring back the caps she stole (though you can talk them out of her, without killing her)).
2)If your speech is high enough, you can convince him that your father mentioned him.
3) For a minor hit of bad karma (very small, and it's the route I generally go with), you can A) steal his terminal's password from the locker next to it, B) use the "Lady Killer" perk (if a male character) to seduce it off of Nova (or, off her dead body, if you're into that sorta thing, sicko). Or hell, just hack the damn thing without it (Again, what I did).
Make sure you're well prepared for the next part.
Follow the objective past Super Duper Mart and Wilhelm's Wharf, and cross the river. It's smarter to use the bridge than to go for a swim, just sayin'.
Head for the first Metro station you come across, either Farragut West Metro Station or Friendship Heights. From there, start wandering the tunnels (pay attention to your Pip-Boy map, it will tell you where the exits are if you're somewhat around them). This is where preparation comes into play. There are quite a few Feral Ghouls and Raiders running around. Follow said tunnels until you reach Chevy Chase. (the location, not the actor...that joke sucked)
Follow your objective marker and it'll take you to the GNR building. Follow the soldiers, helping them attack Super Mutants, and watch out for the Super Behemoth when he attacks. (Don't forget to loot everything! Especially the soldier with the Fat Man and the Behemoth)
Afterwards, use the intercom, enter the building, and talk to Three Dog. There ya go!
Also, it's possible to complete this another way if you find Vault 112 before talking to Three Dog (the quest will be marked as completed). Once you make it to the GNR building, you still fight all the mutants (and the big fella), but on your own. Fight them, kill them all, use the intercom, talk to Three Dog, and Bam, done.
Hope this was helpful. :) |

| You get this achievement well i got this achievement right when you get to GNR radio station. Here is a short but sweet guide you go to the bar and talk to morarity he will either be in his room upstairs or in the back room downstairs pay him with 100 caps hell tell you or if your speech is high enough you can convince him your father told you all about him. Or you could go kill a girl in her house in spring dale and bring him the 300 caps or convince her that you'll tell him that shes gone. then just fall the guide arrow. How to defeat the super behemoth there is a fat man on the dead brotherhood shoulder in the big statue were the super mutants were gathering attacking GNR radio the behemoth comes from the bus just use that fat man 3 times or more or less depending on your level. |

This one is easier than expected. Head south from Megaton until you are nearly off the map. Head east and you will start getting into the inner city rubble. As you follow the road east, you will hit a moderately fortified raider encampment. Take out the one with the rocket first. The rest wont be so bad. Continue east and you will reach the library. While here, sell any pr-war books to The Brotherhood of Steel. Travel east. There will be a hellacious Talon Company outpost here. One rocket launcher, one powerful robot with rockets and gatling laser. Took a mini nuke to take him out. Collect your spoils. Just east is the river. Lot of Mirelurks to take out. Then take a some Rad-X and swim east. Make a quick pit stopped at the boat in the water to collect some goods. Once you hit shore, there will be an aircraft carrier. Head east to find its elevated entrance. Once inside, ask around for Dr. Li. When you speak to her, you are triggering the quest in the chain after this one. You get credit for completing this quest without actually doing it. You are basically skipping ahead on the main questline. This allows you to avoid the bulk of downtown DC until you are stronger. I find downtown to be a nuisance. Oh, and now that you have found River City, you can complete Strictly Business, assuming you have already been to Paradise Falls.
Tl;dr go to the southern edge or the map from Megaton. Head east past all obstacles. Swim across the water to Rivet City. Find Dr. Li. This fast forwards the main quest line and gives you credit for this achievement. |

You can actually skip GNR and speak to Doctor Li in Rivet City Lab, she reveals your fathers location and instant completion.
Bear in mind there's an achievement for GNR so you will want to head there at a later date, there's a LOT of super mutants and a behemoth to contend with, so if you're an early level and wish to advance the story, follow this method. |

Prepare yourself! After you get to the center plaza and the BoS starts to talk among themselves, turn to the monument and pick up the Fat Man off the dead soldier.
You're going to need it to take down the behemoth. It weighs a lot, so if you end up overencumbered, try to stay close to the other BoS members.
Once he goes down you will be able to access the GNR tower. Speak to Three Dog to complete the quest and earn the achievement. |
