Goodneighbor inFallout 4, known as Scollay Square before the Great War, is a large settlement inBoston’s Financial District. In 2287, it came under the governance ofMayor John Hancock, and is inhabited by ghouls, criminals, and other individuals who do not fit in elsewhere in the Commonwealth.
Goodneighbor is one of the most challenging locations to find, since downtown Boston is a vast maze. It is typical for fellow Vault Dwellers to get lost looking for it for hours. Fortunately, there are several methods players can use to find the settlement of Goodneighbor.
How to Find Goodneighbor in Fallout 4
First Method
The first and most traditional way to find Goodneighbor is to headeast ofDiamond Cityuntil you reach Swan’s Pond. There, look for the red line on the ground near the northeastern pond corner – this isthe Freedom Trail inFallout 4. Follow the red line, which will lead you right past the front entrance to Goodneighbor.
The entrance to Goodneighbor can be hard to find, but there are signs pointing to it, as shown in the picture above. If you’re looking for a holotape for the Railroad, you can find one at Covenant or Bunker Hill. Listen to it, follow the trail, and it will lead you straight to the entrance of Goodneighbor.
Second Method
The second method of reaching Goodneighbor involvesjumping down into the city from the collapsed section of the fallen sky bridge.Jumping from this location will cause a loading screen to appear. Once the loading screen finishes, you will spawn inside the city.
Third Method
For the last way to reach the settlement, you canjump off the top of the Mass Fusion Building into the area of Goodneighbor.This will trigger the loading screen mentioned above, and spawn you into Goodneighbor. If you choose this method, it is recommended that you haveAcrobatic legendary legs,which make you immune to fall damage. Wearing power armor will also do the trick. This will ensure that you don’t die from the fall if you don’t jump into the area that triggers the loading screen.
If you want to avoid the jump but have still found yourself at the Mass Fusion Building, you canturn southwest from this locationand eventually run into Goodneighbor. This may take longer, but is far less risky, especially if you don’t have the aforementioned protections against fall damage.
