Marigold Metro Station

Marigold Station is one of the many metro tunnel stations in Fallout 3. The metro station is located in Grayditch. It is the easiest route to take to Falls Church. Unfortunately, it is also filled with giant ants. The Fire Ant Queen from Part 3 "Those!" makes her nest in a cave underneath the lowest level of the metro tunnels.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have either disarmed or detonated the Megaton bomb, you may encounter 3 Talon Company Mercenaries (if you disarmed the bomb) or (I suppose) 3 bountyhunters upon exiting in Grayditch. The Talon Company Mercenaries will initially be friendly (green) and appear immediately to your right upon exiting the station. After a short time, they will turn hostile and attack you. One option is to sneak before exiting the station, then move left into Grayditch into one of the abandoned buildings and engage them from there. If you move fast enough, they will still be friendly and just standing by the entrace to the station once you reach cover. I suppose you could just leave them there, but what fun would that be?

Layout
The Station all funnels into 2 possible exits. 1 exit is on the east side and the 2nd exit is south. The second exit is all you need for the "Those!" Quest. After traveling farther south, there is a hole in the tracks that leads to the Fire Ant Hatcheries.

Boss: Fire Ant Queen
Her main and only attack is spitting a green liquid at you. Keep in mind that she fires in front of you so when you see her shoot, move in the opposite direction as soon as possible to dodge. It takes 1 Fat Man shot to kill her or you can just use your guns and blaze at her. Note: Combat Shotgun takes 1 bar of hp every hit. Note 2: You can just throw a frag grenade to her and let the robot take her out. When she's about to die, you can shotgun-her to get the exp.

Appearances
