Agatha

For the character cut from the final version of Fallout, see: Agatha (Fallout)

Agatha is an old woman living alone in a house in the Capital Wasteland. She is a talented violin player who broadcasts her music through her late husband's old radio gear. She wants the Vault 101 dweller to find music paper for her, as well as her great-great-grandmother Hilda's Soil Stradivarius violin, which she believes is still in Vault 92. If you have high Speech, Charisma or the Lady Killer perk, you will get a special dialog option asking her for something to keep you safe. This dialog option will result in her giving you a key to the ammo crate under the table with the radio, which contains a good variety of different ammo. You may want to pick the lock to the ammo box beforehand, as it restocks when Agatha gives you the key.


 * Agatha's House is west of the Scrapyard, and east-north-east of Meresti Trainyard. It can be tricky to find - see Agatha's House's page.

After finishing the quest, the player can listen to Agatha playing violin music over the radio. Her station is one of three that can be heard anywhere in the Capital Wasteland, the other two being Enclave Radio and Galaxy News Radio, provided the player has fixed GNR's radio tower. If the player also brings Agatha music paper (also called Sheet Music Book), she will give them her husband's pistol Blackhawk, which is the unique small gun variant of the Scoped .44 Magnum, and a powerful weapon in the game. Even though six locations provide music paper, only one is needed to obtain the bonus reward. She dedicates her music mostly to the traders of the Capital Wasteland, her deceased husband, and the Lone Wanderer.

Note: If you sell the Stradivarius and reacquire it, the quest won't recognize that you have the violin in your possession and will only let you tell Agatha that you sold it.
