Giant ant queen



There are very few Ant Queens in Fallout 3. There is one in the Grayditch quest (which you shouldn't kill if you want to help the researcher), one in the Corvega Factory, and one in the Shalebridge.

Ant Queens are not particularly fast, but they do seem to notice you from a distance and shoot a greenish poison/acid with surprising accuracy.

Ant Queens have very high health making them one of the few creatures in the capital wasteland that can survive a nuka grenade blast. The quickest way to take one down is to shoot them in the Antennae until they frenzy, at which point any nearby ants will swarm them to death.

Killing an Ant Queen nets you 25 experience and Ant Queen Pheromones, which are an Aid item that provides PER -3, INT -3 and CHR +3.


 * Angela Staley in Rivet City wonders if ant queen pheromones would help her seduce Diego, a priest. If you give them to her she thanks you, says they'll help her seduce him and that "he'll have to marry me."


 * Cindy Cantelli in Rivet City market sells "Ant Queen Pheromones."
