Shock Value

 is a Fallout 3 quest and achievement that is added to the game in the Broken Steel downloadable content pack.

Walkthrough

 * Right after obtaining the achievement for " Death From Above " you will be told to track down and speak to Paladin Tristan in the Citadel.


 * Optional: Get the Deathclaw Control Scrambler from Scribe Vallincourt in the Citadel Lab, and hijack the Enclave-controlled Deathclaws from south-east of Old Olney to your advantage. All you have to do is unlock its cage and let it kill the Enclave soldiers.

Given that you have made it through the main quest of the original game by now, a detailed walkthrough of this quest is not really needed.

Once you get to Olney, bring up the Local Map on your Pipboy and look for the entrance to the sewer. Once you get into the sewer, you can't go too far wrong. Just follow the passageways, explore rooms, kill hostiles (Deathclaws and Enclave troops), pick up loot (including some Alien Power Cells), etc. -- just like you've been doing throughout the game.

At some point you will get to a door to the Olney Underground. Go through that and you end up in what looks like a ruined hospital. Eventually you will get to doors leading to the Tesla Coil. Use the Hard-locked terminal outside those doors to shut off the power to the coil then go in and get it. Alternately, you can jump into the Tesla coil chamber from above and activate the three emergency switches inside the chamber. You'll still get a small shock, but greatly reduced.

Once done, a nearby ladder takes you out to a street North of Olney from where you will face a multitude of death claws, and upon defeating them can fast travel back to the Citadel. The manhole exit to the ladder is exit only, so forget about shortcutting in that way.
