Far Harbor Unmarked Quest Speculation **minor spoilers**

[Casper]

So.. for those who've been getting around the island you've probably come across Cranberry island, directly south of Far Harbor. If you had a good look around you might have noticed the generators, and even found a map encouraging you to repair and connect them. Of course once you manage this you unlock a faulty war bunker filled with named ghouls, along with a key to a storage shed filled with all sorts of rare loot goodies. But ff you've looked more closely you'll notice that these ghouls or rather the people they used to be featured in that map author's journal entries, found about cranberry island.

This is all very well and good except Eliza isn't found among her family, and no sign of her or her remains can be found anywhere on this island. In fact, her last entry dated the night before the great war details her journey to far harbor for a Halloween party. Unfortunately the trail goes cold here, but if you look at the 7th journal entry I feel like there's something more to be found. In particular the names and location mentioned. It makes me feel like there's some other collection of named ghouls and maybe even another sweet loot room, somewhere near far harbor, but otherwise obscured.

I really enjoyed this unmarked quest so Eliza's unresolved fate is bugging me quite a lot. Especially considering how much Far Harbor made me out to be a great detective. I don't want to accept I've been handed a mystery with no answers.

I'm posting this not only to get some speculation happening but also some investigation. If anyone has any ideas as to what becomes of Eliza I'd love for them to comment it here..
Anyway, thanks for reading.

BTW pre-war documents are all going to be "Bar Harbor" for most of the northeastern section of the main island; it only morphed into 'Far Harbor' because of the damaged 'Bar Harbor' sign at the pier.

You say that but i found this sign at the oceanarium, the F seems to be an actual intact F.. (oversight by the devs?) http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/450736996699454655/F85DD241C346E7E2B50333E4E427FFED6DCEB7F4/

That would be literally the only purposeful pre-war "Far Harbor" sign I've yet seen on the island. The pier sign is incidental and everything else says 'Bar Harbor'.

...or we could look at the "Far Harbor" part of the sign as being an add on (attached to the framing) to the original. Added in more recent times?

Did anyone find, "Victoria's key"? on the bodies in the bunker? I've located a locked container near the South Harbor Raider hideout on a boat in the flaming water? I cleared the bunker and thought I grabbed all the available loot from the bodies...

Whatever floats your boat :) Regardless, we could treat the entire main island as being open to whoever had this halloween party. The key is likely going to be in someone else's references to their kids (by name or existence of), locations with toys, etc.

You've got Daisy Davis and Thomas Davis, both associated with the bowling alley, but there's plenty of opportunity to mention family and there isn't any. If they're a couple, they may not have had time to start a family, and the backstory is Thomas is a disabled veteran (which is why hunting wheelchairs). Daisy references an aunt and uncle, so the two might be kin rather than couple.

There are players at the alley Hannah and Zachary Miller, the former referenced as "Mrs.". There's also the Reed family, and a gift card somewhere (found in FO4edit) that references two couples, Jess/Jim and Laurie/Bruce. Huskey family may or may not be pre-war.

Kids names from the journal:
Hayley (direct ref lives Bar Harbor)
June
Elli
Emmi
Jade
Gregory

More later. I hope this doesn't actually turn out a dead end, Bethesda did so well fleshing out the Kim Song storyline in the base game with 'clues' literally across the commonwealth...

Oh, an asides: the photo on the desk in Ryburn Point appears to be a modelled image of St. James Church in New Brighton, Merseyside, UK... it's definitely that structure, but the surrounding area doesn't match Google Earth and the background skyline doesn't have anything close. Take that, the other intact photo with appears very English countryside, and the existence of the harborman at the pier who has an accent and speaks of family coming from Yorkshire. Merseyside is across from Liverpool (think Beatles accent, need to compare), Yorkshire is 70-90 miles ENE depending on where within you want to go (it's a county).

Are we being given clues to background, or clues to future expansion? All the people at the pier were former islanders who were chased to the 'edge', except for the Mariner.... and jeez, photos of New Brighton look just like an intact version of the FH DLC...

There are two Victorias, neither of which 'exist' anymore.

That photo on the desk at Rayburn Point, I found another one... in the house immed. west of the Red Rocket on the western side of FH pier.

Found a lot of stuff, starting at FH and simply heading west and checking out everything on the coast. Got as far as up the shore of the channel to the Cinema.

TWS'ed and TCL'd around the Hotel where someone was pitching people off a plank, and discovered (1) someone wasn't quite Evel Knievel and (2) they had a well running motorcycle!

And I found an undescribed crime scene;

No further data on Eliza though. Once you launch into something like this you realize just how effin' massive this DLC is...

Well done everyone this stuff is absolutely thrilling, just a taste of what goes unnoticed and unappreciated by many.

Looking for this mysterious party house has breathed new life into the DLC for me, drawing out the estimated 20 hours of gameplay considerably whilst allowing me to discover all number of hidden treasures. Glad to see everyone has their detective hats on and can't wait for more to be unearthed.

Based on this alone I've actually decided my next playthrough is going to be a detective build.. I'm talking ballistic weaved faded trench coat and OP snubnosed 44 with Nick at my side, simply helping the commonwealth in any way we can while digging up all the dirt we can find.

thank you all so much for bringing the thread to life, this is exactly the kind of space I appreciate most in the forum, and what I believe it should all be about :)

Well said, and I've got more for you.... like, why is the Fort Hagen Armory password in a (skelly) fisherman's toolbox under a culvert on Echo Lake?

I created this map of Cranberry Island last night (took 6 hours & 2 separate playthroughs for different note locations) showing all the possible locations of the notes/journal entries. I also marked locations of containers, explosive boxes,steamer trunks, monsters, beds, crafting stations, skeletons, etc. I'm sure I probably missed something, but I hope this helps anyone who needs it. This is the link to the image: https://imgur.com/kTye1R1

I only found one skeleton on the island and one just on the eastern edge against a drain pipe. I wondered if one could be Eliza but there are no indications of them being her.

I also wondered if maybe Eliza was killed in the bunker cave-in. Or got stuck behind the piles of rubble in another area of the bunker.

To the southeastern side of the island out in the water I found an island with a steamer trunk and some other loot. There were two skeleton heads and two rib cages caught up in some fish net on the edge of the area. Again, no indication of either of these being a child or female. I also found a Brahmin head in a life preserver.

"Ricky Dalton is a character appearing in Fallout 4. He can be spotted wandering around Charlestown" any relation to the FH Dalton family?

I'm making it a point to look for things on FH island. Captured screenshots of new things

I think I found Nathan Gibbons. I'm not covering, since this entire thread is spoilery...
Nathan may have already been dead, caught in a loose net snagged in the output pipe.

I know this is a resurrect, but I just found another skeleton next to the cranberry island supply shed. Now while it makes sense that the skeleton next to the outpipes could be Nathan as he was hanging around there, he was also I believe told to restock the hut, if you check next to the dock, there is a homemade barge/raft with a cooking station on it. There is a skeleton under the raft/barge, under one of the barrels it is made with.

So who is that? Possibly Nathan/grandpa not so much Eliza as I think we are all agreed she got to the mainland.

I found a secret bunker [edit, Armory) in far harbor dlc. Unmarked Location.
It's undernearh a fuel station, It has loot, weapons bench, chem station, terminal with story. 2 no-reset containers, no occupants, it's clean and tidy and well lit inside. No bed though. It's in the south near Ruined Church. Closest neighbors (were) Supermutants. they have no bed either.

sounds like the nuka cola guy raiding the vim shipments bunker so unrelated.
