The Ark & Dove Cathedral is a small settlement inhabited by tribals in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Background
The Ark & Dove Cathedral is named after the English settling ships Ark and Dove, which landed in the region in 1634.[1][Pub 1]
Layout
Exterior
An old church surrounded by a brick wall with a gate at the entrance. Outside, there are many Refined Punga Fruit and Wild Punga Fruit and two Double-Barrel Shotguns hidden under bushes and separately lying right next to the building. Jimson, Croatoa, and other tribals can be found tending to punga plants or walking around. To the northwest is a well that leads to the Sea Cave, as well as the Ark & Dove Sleep Grounds.
Interior
Inside, there are special breeding pots that are used to grow Refined Punga Fruit. Woodrose and Nadine can be found at the back of the church. Other tribals wander around inside periodically, as well.
Inhabitants
Loot
- Fertilizer Shovel which can be obtained from Croatoa.

Notes
- If the front gate is left open, Feral Ghouls, Smugglers or Swampfolk may attack and kill the tribals.
- There is only one intercom, despite Jimson talking to the Lone Wanderer through one before they can enter.
- Behind the cathedral, the Lone Wanderer can find flesh chunks of an unknown origin.
- Marcella wanted to search the cathedral for artifacts, and contemplated joining the tribals solely for this purpose, but decided not to afterward.
- Behind the cathedral there is a pile of gore and a pot that has no value and is simply called "pot."
Appearances
The Ark & Dove Cathedral appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
Behind the scenes
- The cathedral is named after the Ark and the Dove, the first two ships to bring settlers to Maryland in 1634.
- The Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition, on page 673, states that the ships landed in 1633.
Bugs
When entering the cathedral and talking to Nadine immediately (and exhausting all of her dialogue options), the cathedral may become locked. This also happens at random if returning to the mainland with Nadine and then returning to the cathedral.

- ↑ Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.673: "This cathedral, named after the two sailing ships landing in Maryland to establish the English colony in 1633, is now the main hideout for the Tribals, a cult group that believes in the power of the Punga plant. They are generally docile, unless their leader— Professor Calvert—orders them to attack. The cathedral grounds and gate are inaccessible until you’ve completed the Ritual of Mother Punga, during Main Quest: Walking with Spirits. Beware of Ghouls in the entrance area, which features a sealed gate and an intercom you can use to question Jimson. Don’t forget the Ark & Dove Well [3.C] if you need a quick entrance down into the Sea Cave [U3.16], but only after you’ve opened it from the underground."
