How to unlock the The Local Flavor achievement in Fallout 3 - Definitive Guide

When the game is loaded, wait for the message saying there is a boat ready to bring you to point lookout.

Go to the boat, buy a ticket and when you're arrived go to the mansion on the south-east of the map.

Help Desmond (a ghoul) to protect the mansion and once it's done talk to him and you'll get the achievement.

Tip 1: Buy two tickets, this is just so you dont have to bother later or find caps to buy a ticket later, Wondering how to get the boat moving? well try having a sleep "its in the captains room" ;)

Tip 2: Bring mines you have been warned.

Fatman is also useful, especially in the last part of the mission, when enemies come in packs, but are far enough so that you won't harm yourself.

Don't buy a second ticket. You may not need it if you finish enough of the quests.

Complete the mission "The Local Flavor" in Point Lookout; it's the first mission you receive. The mission will start right when you arrive at the boat to get to Point Lookout. When you arrive at Point Lookout, you head Southeast to the Calvert Mansion (will be marked on your map) and help the ghoul Desmond defend the mansion against Tribals by exploring the west and east wings of the mansion, respectfully, and sealing off infiltration points. After that, the Tribals will come in numbers through the front door. Kill them and talk to Desmond about the Tribals and he'll ask you to infiltrate the Tribals and find out their aim in attacking the mansion.

Before starting this DLC, make sure all your equipment is fully repaired and you have plenty of ammo and health items because there are some major battles coming up. Make "The Local Flavor" your active Quest and then head for the Riverboat Landing. The fastest way to get to the Riverboat Landing is to Fast Travel to the Arlington Library then walk the rest of the way but watch out for the Talon Company base that's nearby. When you arrive at the Landing, you will be approached by a woman called Catherine who wants you to find her daughter, Nadine. Agree to look for her then talk to Tobar the Boatman and buy a Ticket to Point Lookout. To travel to PL you have to sleep on the Passenger Cot in the room opposite where Tobar is standing.

WARNING: There is a nasty but rare freeze-glitch that can occur when you try to approach Tobar the Boatman on the Duchess Gambit for the first time. To fix this, dismiss any and all Companions, change to another weapon, fire off a round or two, turn off the radio and wait for 27 in-game hours. After you've waited for 27 hours, talk to Catherine about her daughter then approach Tobar, buy a ticket, sleep on the provided Passenger Cot and go to Point Lookout. After arriving at Point Lookout, talk to Tobar again then return to the Capital Wasteland, collect your Companion(s) then go back to the boat and return to Point Lookout once more.

Once you arrive at Point Lookout, Tobar will have a short conversation with you then you can make your way to the Calvert Mansion. After arriving at the Mansion, a voice will appear on a loudspeaker and order you inside. There is a Ghoul called Desmond who will tell you to help him kill all the Tribals that have invaded the Mansion. This will not be easy as they are extremely tough so make sure you're packing some serious firepower, plenty of Stims and lots of Chems! When all of the Tribals are dead, talk to Desmond and he'll ask you to find out why the Tribals have recently got so violent. To do this you must visit their base in a Cathedral to the North of the Mansion. Desmond will give you the Superior Defender Perk (which grants you +5 damage and +10 armour when standing still) for clearing out the Mansion and the trophy will pop during the conversation.

The quest will be available immediately after installing the add-on. You will need to go to the river on a ferry and take it to Point Lookout. When you get to the ferry, talk to the ferryman. Buy a ticket from him, after purchasing you can go to Point Lookout, to do this, lie down on the bed in the cabin. Well, when you arrive, follow the marker and you will come to the house of the ghoul Desmond who is shooting back from enemies. Clear the house of uninvited guests and talk to the ghoul. This is where the quest will end.
