How to unlock the Nuclear Family achievement in Fallout 4 - Definitive Guide

This is the last achievement in the Institute questline.

While the other solution already shows how to get this achievement, I wanted to share a chart I made with the way of getting all the story achievements with only one save / reload, and also the best point to save in order to obtain all 4 endings (not necessary for achievements).

Scroll down for a more detailed explanation (inside the Spoiler Tag, as it is an awful lot of text).

External image

For starters, keep in mind a thing: having high charisma will help you when you'll have to balance several factions at once. I recommend having at least 6-7 points of charisma, and using "charisma-enhancer" gear like Glasses, Hats or Suits, or even using, when neccessary, beer or some drugs as Grape Mentats or Day Tripper that give charisma points for a few minutes.

Open this thing for the full explanation:


Hope it helps!

Thank you so much :) I had a hell of a hard time on Mass Fusion and Rockets Red Glare, but this guide helped me with what to do and where to save.

I think some people were confused. Its a bit tricky to follow your solution if you just know the names of the missions, just guessing. Keep up the good work :)

Unobtainable if you follow right through with the brotherhood of steel and nuke the life out of those slimy institute bastards

Thanks man! This worked perfect for me. I saved right before the mass fusion one, and by following your guides I am able to go back and do each faction.

This was much better than your other F4 solutions. The only confusing thing was that the Institute mission "Airship Down" was completely skipped. It went from "End of the Line" directly to "Nuclear Family". +1

nice its because you must have done something for one other faction that the institute wanted but you already did

The final institute main quest. This is quite simple, albeit a bit touching, of a quest.

1. Make your way to the Institute, and navigate to Father, who is in his deathbed

2. Speak to him and offer your son some final parting words

3. Shawn passes away, and the ending cutscene for the game begins

Notes:
Once this quest is completed, Father's memorial will appear in the Institute in front of the Robotics division, and Institute synths will patrol the Commonwealth's military checkpoints.

If the player kills Father before his natural death, the player will become enemies with the Institute, and this quest will still complete.

MISSABLE!

Quest Giver: Father (Institute)
Location: The Institute

The Institute is the only faction that will lead you to this achievement. This is the endgame achievement that runs opposite of "Nuclear Option." Simply follow the Institute's storyline until the end to unlock this ending.

MISSABLE! - One of two endings. You can only get this ending if you went through all the quests for the Institute, and didn't cause them to banish you. You will get banished if you help other factions to the point where it makes the institute hostile. See the Roadmap for more information on what can lock this quest out. The game will tell you prior to an action if it will make the Institute hostile so don't worry too much.

This trophy can be achieved by finishing the final quest for The Institute. See the spoiler below for more information. The reason this trophy is missable is you can cause the Institute to banish you if you advance too far into one of the 3 factions (Minutemen, Brotherhood of Steel, Railroad). The game will tell you when it's about to turn a faction hostile so do not worry about it randomly happening.

Given after completing the main quests of the institute.
To start the Institute quests and get this trophy, you must:
1) Pass the Molecular Level
2) Join the institute and support all tasks and dialogues of NPCs from the institute.

I got the trophy with the support of the Underground. If I had listened to the hints above, I would have gone through the story from the Molecular Level in vain once again. So, there is no need to give up the Underground.
