The forgotten church is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout[]

This location consists of a church almost completely buried in the wasteland of the Glowing Sea; its interior is only accessible through a hole in the roof breached by a fallen tree. The broken steeple can be found a few steps to the north of the church. The church contains only one notable object: a steamer trunk on the bottom floor.

Several feral ghouls may be inside the church, and a leveled deathclaw will spawn outside the church upon entering it.

Notes[]

The location also appears in Winter of Atom, an expansion for Fallout: The Roleplaying Game that takes place before the events of Fallout 4. Described as a half-buried Catholic church in the western Glowing Sea, it contains an entrance to the Whately Research Facility through a hatch that has been excavated near the altar.[Non-game 1][Non-game 2] A map that shows the facility places it in the same location as the forgotten church in Fallout 4. The layout shown in art and described is slightly different than what appears in-game.

Appearances[]

The forgotten church appears in Fallout 4 and Winter of Atom.

Behind the scenes[]

Based on the location's editor ID (GlowingSeaPOIJB05), the church was created by level designer Jeff Browne.

  1. Winter of Atom, p.216: "Whately Research Facility—a 12-hour journey at normal pace from the Crater of Atom. The hatch to the facility lies in the wreckage of a half-buried Catholic church in the western Glowing Sea. PCs enter the church by crawling through a hole in its shattered roof."
  2. Winter of Atom, p.216: "Atomic ash mixes with snow, coming through the hole in the church's roof and leaving a thick coat over everything inside. The church pews are smashed and scattered across the ground. Some of those jagged stone ruins have been dragged into a large circle to form a garish firepit. The pit does not look as though it has seen use in a long time. A large, cracked brass church bell lies overturned near the buried altar. Near the altar, a ten-foot hole has been excavated in the earth. At the bottom of that hole lies heavy metal hatch with a rusty handle. The hatch features no writing or viewing port."
