Decayed reactor site, beyond the edge of the map, west-northwest of the Crater of Atom.Crater of Atom, southwest corner of the map.Caves, with the northern cave underneath a road near a Red Rocket station northeast of the capsized factory, and the southern cave beyond the edge of the map southwest of the Vertibird wreckage.Capsized factory, northeast of the Crater of Atom and east-southeast of the Atlantic Offices.Atlantic Offices, north-northeast of the Crater of Atom and west-northwest of the capsized factory.These ruins hold their own dangers, however, in the form of large packs of feral ghouls and the occasional mole rat swarm. Useful resources (such as food, chems, and ammo) are scarce in this hellish landscape, although the various ruins and wrecked vehicles scattered about the area contain modest amounts of loot. Perhaps more dangerous than the radiation is the local wildlife, as only the hardiest creatures can survive in this hostile environment: packs of deathclaws, radscorpions, and mutant insects such as bloatflies, bloodbugs, and stingwings roam the wastes, attacking anything in their path. Completing The Secret of Cabot House by siding with Lorenzo Cabot will grant access to an unlimited supply of Mysterious serum, which heals 10 rads/second for one hour. Further protection can be achieved by wearing rad-resistant armor, such as power armor or a hazmat suit (though power armor gives better protection from enemy attacks). To survive, one should bring an ample supply of RadAway and Rad-X to minimize exposure. Drinking water from local sources in the Glowing Sea inflicts 10 rads rather than the normal 3 rads, and immersion in open water inflicts 20 rads/second rather than the normal 10 rads/second. The entire region is heavily irradiated, causing at least 10 rads/second in most areas, killing unprotected players in less than two minutes. The Glowing Sea is extremely dangerous, and should not be explored at a low level or without adequate supplies and protection.
Southwest of the Glowing Sea, outside the boundaries of the map, is the rocky cave, inhabited by Virgil. The sickly greenish-yellow glow emitting from the crater can be seen from far across the Commonwealth. At the center of the region is a settlement known as the Crater of Atom, occupied by humans from the Church of the Children of Atom. ĭespite these dangers, the Glowing Sea does harbor life, including humans. Rain clouds that pass over the Glowing Sea become irradiated, spreading radiation to other parts of the Commonwealth wasteland in the form of rad storms. The few remaining buildings that weren't reduced to thinly-spread debris are half-buried by landslides and sinkholes. Most of the Glowing Sea consists of scorched earth spotted with radioactive ponds, charred trees, wrecked cars, and heaps of rubble. Not technically a "sea," the territory is rather a large isolated zone of heavily irradiated landscape. Originally the communities southwest of Boston proper, the area southwest of the end of the southern freeway connected to Mass Pike Interchange was ground zero for a massive nuclear detonation during the Great War.
