Oasis

Oasis is a settlement location northwest of Clifftop Shacks in the Capital Wasteland, that is unusually full of trees and green plants, birds can also be heard once inside the gate, suggesting that animal life has started to flourish here.

Background
Harold, a special mutational product of the Forced Evolutionary Virus, who possessed a tree growing on his head which he called Bob (sometimes he calls it Herbert because, as he says, because "Bob hates it"), eventually found himself overwhelmed by it and became rooted to the ground during his travels in the Capital Wasteland region. Here he was discovered by several people who began to worship him as a god, and a small and exclusive cult known as the Treeminders began to form in secrecy. Bob began to blossom (which Harold apparently finds embarrassing) and many plants grew in this area, which became green with life, a stark contrast to the outer wasteland.

When the player character arrives he/she is urged to talk to Harold. Harold reveals his true identity and begged for mercy; after being stuck in the same position for decades he was eager to die. The other dwellers of Oasis have ignored Harold's wishes so far, and ask the Lone Wanderer to either suppress or expand Harold's fertility.

Layout
Oasis is situated almost at the top center of the map. It is surrounded by steep cliffs, and can only be entered through a small gorge by traveling west to east. The entrance is small and you may not detect it. Use the compass for assistance.

It is possible to get the coordinates of the Oasis by killing the Drifter at Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. There are also a pair (or more) of wandering wastelanders found in a random encounter who will disclose the location, before attempting to kill the player, as well as a hallucinating wasteland merchant who promptly dies after being talked to.

Sunken chambers
As you enter in sunken chambers, turn left and up in a small room you will find:
 * D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine nearby an orange glowing hole in the wall (inside a wooden box with the baseball glove);
 * 1 Pre-War book; (on the trunk next to the table).
 * 1 Stealth Boy (on the table between chems).

At the bottom of the Northern pond you will find:
 * 1 mini nuke standing on an underwater rock near the middle of the pool;
 * Various items of small importance (Mentats and combat knife).

On the way down to Harold's heart you will find a skeleton near 2 ammunition boxes and 1 Chinese assault rifle. On top of the right crate you will find another Stealth Boy.

Continue right past Stealth Boy, then left instead of the tunnel and you will find other various items of small importance (such as blood pack, RadAway, stimpak, missile).

Damp cave
As you enter from the sunken chambers, you will find a missile, a paint gun, and a leaf blower on the ledge. On land, continuing around right side of cave you will find:


 * 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum.
 * A sniper rifle, on the far end in the middle near some rocks, light up your Pip-Boy to see it. Look for a skeleton and an ammunition box.
 * Various items of small importance (2 fission batteries found by some tires, 2 Nuka-Cola bottles and a conductor nearby on the left side by more mushrooms).

Appearances
The Oasis appears only in Fallout 3.
