Wildwood Cemetery

Wildwood Cemetery is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Founded in 1851, the historic cemetery was once reserved for the graves of local dignitaries. Several centuries later, it is occupied by the decaying corpses of those who fall prey to the feral ghouls who litter the area or the raiders camped out here. This area has one of the largest collections of ghouls in a single spot in the entire game, and should be approached with caution, if not avoided altogether.

Layout
There are several mausoleums scattered about the cemetery, though most are blocked off or sealed. One of the mausoleums contains an altar with a figure made from two skeletal hands and a skull, and after entering it, a leveled raider will spawn and attack. At the center of the cemetery lies a tree with 4 glowing fungus around it.

Notable loot

 * Total Hack issue #3 (contains the turret override program) - At the foot of the tree in the middle of the cemetery, illuminated by a stalk of glowing mushrooms directly beside it.
 * A sizable amount of the hard-to-find crafting item bone in the crypts.

Behind the scenes
The cemetery is based on the real-life Wildwood Cemetery in Winchester, Massachusetts. The real cemetery was founded in 1851 following the donation of $3,000 to the town by William P. Winchester on the condition that the town be named after him.
