Detailed walkthrough[]

Upon completion of the Living on the Edge quest, Teddy Wright will initiate conversation, explaining that Harbormen's respect is difficult to earn. He does know that the easiest way to earn their respect is to complete "The Captain's Dance," a trial originally used to appoint the captain of Far Harbor, in which the Island throws its most dangerous creatures at the participant. One of the residents of Far Harbor, Dottie, will be there to witness the "Captain's Dance" and testify to the rest of the settlement about the heroic feat.

After heading to the northwestern part of the map to Emmet's Causeway, a small swamp between Rayburn Point and Briney's Bait and Tackle, the Sole Survivor must drop raw meat into the water, causing mirelurks to appear. After defeating the mirelurks, drop another piece of meat into the water and kill more mirelurks and mirelurk kings. After killing the second wave of creatures, a mirelurk queen finally rises to attack.

After defeating the mirelurk queen and returning to Far Harbor, Teddy will reward the player character with the Captain's Hat and the Captain's Feast.

Notes[]

  • Besides helping Captain Avery, only part one of Blood Tide and Hull Breach need be completed to trigger this quest.
  • This quest must be completed to open up more Far Harbor side quests.
  • Once the player character drops the raw meat, it will float away and they will not be able to pick it up again.
  • It is possible for an enemy to spawn underground making it troublesome to finish the quest.
  • Cooked meat will not work to trigger the mirelurk attacks.

Behind the scenes[]

A rite of passage is a celebration of the passage which occurs when an individual leaves one group to enter another. It involves a significant change of status in society - in the case of this quest, the Sole Survivor becomes respected by the harbormen as a result of completing the Captain's Dance.

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 If this quest and Hunting the Hunter are both active and waiting to be "turned in" at the same time, Teddy Wright may not respond properly after giving his speech at the end. The Sole Survivor will confusingly greet him as Dejen and he will say only a single line of dialogue without entering the conversation, leaving the "Return to Teddy Wright" objective active. This can be fixed by talking to Dejen and closing out "Hunting the Hunter" first, then returning to Far Harbor and talking to Teddy again, which will then complete this quest properly.[verified]
