In Fallout 76, the "Disarming Discovery" quest is part of the Brotherhood of Steel storyline, introduced in the Steel Dawn update. This quest involves helping a settlement known as "The Retreat" by dealing with the Blood Eagle Raiders, led by Dagger. One of the key objectives is to find and use the Throne Room Key to access Dagger's throne room. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to complete this part of the quest.
Quest Overview
Disarming Discovery is a mission where you help Paladin Rahmani by addressing the issue of Blood Eagle Raiders extorting supplies from The Retreat. Your main goal is to infiltrate Dagger's Den, clear out the raiders, and recover stolen supplies and Brotherhood of Steel weapons.
Finding the Throne Room Key
Locate Dagger's Den: Head to Dagger's Den, which is the Blood Eagle Raiders' hideout. You'll find it marked on your map after speaking with Jennie Brown at The Retreat.
Clear Out the Raiders: Fight your way through the hideout until you reach Dagger's Lieutenant. Defeating them is crucial for obtaining the key.
Obtain the Throne Room Key: The key is typically found on one of Dagger's Lieutenants. However, some players have reported issues with the key not spawning, especially if the lieutenant's body is destroyed or gibbed.
Alternative Location: If the key doesn't spawn on the lieutenant, check nearby areas. Some players have reported finding it in makeshift bedrooms across a bridge within Dagger's Den.
As you progress through the "Disarming Discovery" quest in Fallout 76, you'll encounter various Fallout 76 items that are crucial to completing your objectives. These items include keys, weapons, and supplies that are essential for accessing restricted areas like Dagger's throne room and for recovering stolen goods. Ensuring you have the right equipment, such as Brotherhood of Steel weapons, can significantly enhance your ability to engage with hostile groups like the Blood Eagle Raiders and protect settlements like The Retreat.
Entering the Throne Room
Use the Key: Once you have the Throne Room Key, approach the door to Dagger's throne room and use the key to unlock it.
Confront Dagger: Inside, you'll find Dagger. You can choose to negotiate with her if you have sufficient Strength (12+), or you can engage in combat.
Recover Supplies and Weapons: After dealing with Dagger, look for the Brotherhood of Steel crate and a wooden crate containing the Retreat's supplies. Use Dagger's Key to unlock the BOS crate.
Completing the Quest
Return Supplies: Take the recovered supplies back to Jennie Brown at The Retreat.
Optional: Give a Weapon: You can optionally give Jennie a weapon from the BOS cache to help protect the settlement.
Return to Paladin Rahmani: Complete the quest by returning to Fort Atlas and speaking with Paladin Rahmani.
Troubleshooting
Key Not Spawning: If the key doesn't appear, try reloading the game or checking nearby areas thoroughly.
