Mysterious serum

Mysterious serum is a consumable item in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
A unique consumable only obtainable through the quest lines of Special Delivery and The Secret of Cabot House. Four can be obtained during these quest lines, five if the player can pass a speech check convincing Jack Cabot that no serum was found. Upon one end to The Secret of Cabot House, the player gets access to an infinite supply of this item, with a few caveats: one may only receive one at a time and only when the Sole Survivor has none left, you may not sell or store the serum in any way, and cannot attack the source of the serum.

The item's description lists a Radiation effect of -36000, but this is misleading- it does not act like a RadAway. Rather, this number comes from removing 10 rads per second for 3600 seconds (60 minutes or one hour).

Another potential use case is for boosting carrying capacity while scavenging. The boost of +5 STR is significant, as the similar consumable Buffout only gives +2, and any chem mixed with it +3.

Locations

 * One at Parsons Creamery.
