Taft Tunnel

This is an escape tunnel from Jefferson Memorial. The exit point is a sewer grate outside the Citadel entrance, just south of the west point of Arlington Memorial Bridge.


 * The tunnel can't be reached before the final steps of the quest "The Waters of Life".


 * The upper and apparently unreachable floors with Enclave soldiers can be reached with careful barrel stacking and several strategic jumps. The exit point has a ladder and a sewer grate that doesn't work (you can open the ladder, then close it again if it pleases you). It seems unfinished. (I was able to use some strategically placed barrels in last room that has the unreachable floors, and was able to make it into the area on the Xbox 360 and PC. It can be done, just takes some practice)


 * The first part of the tunnels contains a copy of Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual on the desk in the room when you first engage the Enclave Soldiers. There is also a copy of Nikola Tesla and You to be found in the second area behind a portable generator on a desk along with a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum. In addition, one of the two Chinese Commando Hats in the game is located on the table near the Chinese Spec. Ops Manual.


 * Note that Charon will be waiting at the door connecting the two parts of the area -on the side with the ladder to the Wasteland- should he disappear after the quest involving the rescue of the science team.

Inhabitants

 * The lower levels have a fair share of Feral Ghouls.
 * The floors above have many Enclave Soldiers.
