Rescuing the Ferryman in the fan-favoriteFallout 4mod,Fallout: London, is quite a tricky segment of the Charybdis quest to navigate for several reasons. First and foremost, players must find Thameshaven, which will take them on a maze-like venture through the radioactive and enemy-infested tunnels that twist and turn beneath the River Thames.
When players eventually get inside Thameshaven, saving the Ferryman is another dangerous endeavor that can lead to further loss in the underground system upon trying to find him. However, rescuing this NPC is paramount to advance the mainquest inFallout: London, and doing so will give players useful information that will serve them in the RPG.

For players new to the Fallout: 4 mod, Fallout: London, there are a few things you should do first, such as gaining weapons, allies, and settlements.
