There is a duffle bag containing leveled loot on the roof of the same house, accessible via the fallen tree to the rear of the house. It is next to a bush of wild mutfruit plants. The door can be found at the back of the house, just before the cul-de-sac in the northeast of Sanctuary Hills. It appears that the owner was not able to reserve a space in a Vault and so made his own shelter. The root cellar is a shelter built under a neighboring property, two houses up from the House of Tomorrow in 2287. The house south of the roundabout has a floor safe (Novice) hidden under the baby bed. There is a safe (Novice) in the house and a root cellar around the back of the following house down the street just before the roundabout. In the Sole Survivor's house, the player character can find an issue of Grognak the Barbarian on the kitchen table and the You're SPECIAL! book under the dresser in Shaun's room. In the blue house next to the yellow one are a Nuka-Cherry in the fridge, a first aid box in the bathroom, and a locked suitcase (Novice) in the bedroom. In the yellow house at the curve of the street, there is a terminal (Novice) and a safe (Novice) with a makeshift bomb on the top and tension trigger affixed to the lefthand side. Starting from the bridge leading out of the community, there is a floor safe (Advanced) hidden under a dresser in the blue house to the north of the road.
There are multiple safes and lootable items to be found in Sanctuary. To the west of Sanctuary Hills, the Misty Lake is located and is the source of the two rivers surrounding the small island. By 2287, the town is populated by several houses in various states of decay. The village itself is built along a single road, which ends in a cul-de-sac. Sanctuary Hills is accessible by a small footbridge from Vault 111 and original main road over the larger Old North Bridge crossing the Misty Lake, leading to Concord, past the Red Rocket truck stop. Its only residents during the post-War era were radroaches, bloatflies, Codsworth, and the Vault-Tec rep (for a very short period of time). Select citizens that had spaces reserved fled to Vault 111, just through the woods surrounding the community, to escape the atomic fire.Īfter the war, Sanctuary Hills was left to decay, with several of the original homes collapsing and others falling into various states of disrepair. At 9:47 AM, Boston was hit by an atomic warhead. On Saturday, October 23, 2077, many families were just beginning their weekend routines when their radios and television sets began reporting nuclear detonations in New York and Pennsylvania at 9:42 AM. Before the Great War, Sanctuary Hills was the home of the Sole Survivor, who lived in the House of Tomorrow with their spouse, their son Shaun, and their robot butler Codsworth. Sanctuary Hills was a friendly suburb of Concord, located on a small island about a mile north of the town and accessible only by a wooden bridge, consisting of 14 prefabricated homes.
