The Devil's Due

The Devil's Due is a side quest in Fallout 4.

Detailed walkthrough
On the exterior west side of the Museum of Witchcraft is a body; on it is Private Hart's holotape. When you listen to the holotape it will be clear that Hart and his crew were running from something and ran into the museum. Enter the museum via the cellar door a few feet away from the body. While in the museum there is growling and some body parts dropping from holes in the ceiling periodically as you make your way through. Make your way to the second level. In the room behind the closed door there is a wandering deathclaw (level dependent). Kill or stealth past the deathclaw and look around the floor in the rear bathroom to find Sergeant Lee's holotape (required to advance the quest) by his dead body. Around the body are some cracked deathclaw eggs and the pristine deathclaw egg required to advance the quest.

You then have the option to continue the delivery of the egg to Wellingham outside the Colonial Taphouse in Diamond City, where you will be awarded 200 caps (plus an additional 100 with every persuade approval) and, after an additional dialogue choice, you will receive the Wellingham's recipe note which teaches the recipe Deathclaw Wellingham. Although not noted at the time, it also adds an additional recipe for tasty deathclaw omelette.

Or you can return the egg to the nest west of Parsons Creamery where a friendly deathclaw will appear and you can find a deathclaw gauntlet next to the nest. Finally, it is possible to take the gauntlet without returning the egg, allowing you to sell the egg to Wellingham normally. Please note that the friendly deathclaw will turn hostile if you try to leave the area without returning the egg. You can still fast travel while the deathclaw is still friendly. Simply grab the gauntlet and fast travel to Diamond City without leaving the immediate area which would make the deathclaw hostile and prevent fast traveling.

Companion reactions
Companions will react based on the decision in the quest. If one returns the egg to the nest:
 * Piper, Nick Valentine, and Codsworth like this act.

Behind the scenes
This quest is likely an homage to Jurassic Park III, where one of the characters steals a clutch of raptor eggs, causing the entire group to be hunted by the pack of raptors. Toward the end, they decide to give the eggs back, resulting in the raptors taking the eggs and leaving peacefully.

Bugs

 * The friendly deathclaw protecting the nest will be hostile if you are wearing a targeting power armor helmet. Putting the helmet on after completing the quest by returning the egg will immediately turn the deathclaw hostile.
 * Berry mentats will also trigger a hostile status.
