How can I blow up the Nucleus after destroying Far Harbor?

[Jims9350]

I was told this can be done, but I don't see how. Far Harbor is no more. DIMA won't talk to me. I have talked to Tektus, but cannot get any quests from him.

Is there any way I can still blow up the Nucleus?

If you've got the launch key, you should just be able to go into the submarine inside the Nucleus and use it on the computer (just past Tektus' seat, if I remember correctly).

Crap, I don't have the key! Looks like I have to wait for my next playthrough

I didn't realize I was ending the storyline when I did things for the Children.

That's somewhat unexpected. I've always found the thing hard to get rid of by any means other than using it (or giving it to Tektus when he wants to use it).

If you didn't recover it already, it should still be possible to go and get it.

Thanks for the tip! Even though I didn't have the quest any longer, I did still have the combination to the safe containing the launch key. The Nucleus is no more!

I didn't end the storyline in Far Harbor when I did things for the Children of Atom. I did more things for Dima and eventually I could lure the real Tektus to a tunnel, kill him, and Dima replaces him with a synth Tektus. Then the Children are not so hostile. Problem solved. Here's the rough order of quests from Dima from memory:

- Go to the old CoA leader's santuary to recover tapes using the quest from Dima. Then Dima will use them to make a holotape so you can lure Tektus to an old tunnel in the Nucleus.
- Lure him to the tunnels. If you don't have enough affinity with him, he will bring 2 guards.
- Kill him in the tunnels.
- Go back to Dima and Dima is talking to the synth version of Tektus who "had a revelation" that they should make peace with Far Harbor.
