Exploring the ruins of Boston in Fallout 4 leads players to imposing landmarks filled with valuable loot and dangerous enemies. Trinity Tower stands out as one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Commonwealth, serving as a primary base for hostile Super Mutants. Finding this massive structure and navigating its dangerous heights requires careful preparation and tactical knowledge.
How to Locate Trinity Tower in the Commonwealth
Trinity Tower is located in the dense downtown area of Boston, just east of Diamond City and south of the Boston Public Library. Players can easily spot the looming skyscraper on their horizon due to its extreme height and distinct radio transmitter mast. Approaching from the west through Boylston Street provides a direct path, though you should expect heavy resistance along the streets.
As you near the building, your Pip-Boy will pick up a distressed broadcast known as Trinity Tower Radio. Tuning into this signal initiates the side quest titled Curtain Call, giving you a clear objective inside the tower. The main entrance is situated at street level, heavily guarded by armed Super Mutants and Mutant Hounds.
Navigating the Interior and Elevator Hazards
Once inside Trinity Tower, players must fight their way upward through multiple floors packed with aggressive foes and makeshift barricades. The structure relies heavily on a series of external and internal window-washer lifts to reach higher levels. Operating these lifts requires pressing nearby buttons while standing firm against long-range vertical gunfire.
Scavenging each level yields plenty of ammunition, valuable crafting components, and tactical vantage points across downtown Boston. Keeping a strong close-range weapon equipped helps clear tight hallways before stepping back onto open scaffolding. Watching your step is essential, as falling from the upper platforms usually results in instant death without Power Armor.
Rescuing Rex Goodman and Strong
Reaching the pinnacle of Trinity Tower brings you to a locked holding cell containing a radio actor named Rex Goodman and a friendly Super Mutant named Strong. You can unlock their cell using a key found inside a nearby steamer trunk or by picking the lock directly. Freeing them triggers an intense vertical escape sequence while riding an open exterior lift.
During the descent, waves of Super Mutants attempt to ambush your elevator from surrounding balconies and ledges. Providing covering fire keeps Rex safe until you reach the ground level safely. Successfully completing this rescue awards significant experience, unlocking Strong as a recruitable companion for your future adventures.
Essential Rewards and Exploration Tips
Trinity Tower contains several rare items that make the challenging climb well worth the effort for completionists. Inside the cell on the top floor, players can collect the Melee Bobblehead, which permanently boosts critical damage with melee weapons. You will also find a copy of the script for Macbeth, adding a fun piece of lore to your collection.
Before attempting this expedition, ensure your inventory is stocked with plenty of Stimpaks and RadAway. Equipping armor with high ballistic and energy resistance will help absorb heavy damage from Super Mutant automatic weapons. Taking your time to clear each floor thoroughly ensures a smooth transition to the thrilling final escape.
