How to unlock the Heart of the Enemy achievement in Fallout 76 - Definitive Guide

*Prerequisite is the "Recruitment Blues" quest to unlock the 4th Floor at Fort Defiance.

Look for a note "Mission 099-01 Orders" next to a terminal to start the quest. The quest sends you off to Vault-Tec University, where you have to go to a Research Terminal. You have to restore power to it by hacking a terminal in the basement. Once you do, the quest tasks you with collecting a DNA Sample from a Scorchbeast.

Fast Travel to a location where spawns are frequent (Cranberry Bog, near a Fissure Site, etc.), kill one and then hit Y over its corpse to collect the sample. Alternatively if you find a corpse in the wild, you can skip the fighting part (the front yard of Whitesprings as the guards tend to shoot one down every now and again).

Return to the Research Terminal at Vault-Tec University to finish the quest.

*This is a Drop Quest, which means it has to be done in one sitting, so if the game crashes, the server kicks you or you leave, you must start over from the beginning.

Tip: The BoS auto missile turrets help a huge bit, just repair and protect them.

P.S. It glitched on me at my first kill to where i couldn't harvest the sample. Do not worry, just find another and kill it

I am on the 4th try so far, and it crashes every time.
This game is so disappointing.

if you go to the glassed cavern and follow it to the end a scortch beast spawns in front of you but can't fly (or didn't for me ) and is easy to kill hope this helps someone

Firebase Major has two automated turrets, and sometimes has the Surface to Air event. Even if there's not an event, you can aggro a scorchbeast and get it to come close enough to the turrets to take it down.

glassed cavern is the easiest to do this by far. the scorchbeast never flew for me either, and it's not that difficult if you have a meele build. just focus on it and forget about the annoying scorched around you. kill them once the beast is dead. extract the DNA and you're done!

Make sure you go into the right building, I spent ages following the quest marker only to have it lead me into the wrong building which I explored forever before looking this up.

Cherry on top. This game has so much potential and can be very enjoyable at times but is just so laughably bad in so many ways. Did everything, fast traveled to vault tec to turn it in and then get told by Bethesda to go fuck myself because my game freezes, unreal.

Looks like diseased Scorchbeasts don't count. Killed one of them and it wouldn't let me harvest DNA, went and found a normal one and it allowed me to get the DNA straight away.

the note is on a bureau/desk, in a room neighboring the kitchen area.
Total fast travel cost is over 35+35+35 caps.

Everytime I read the 'note' to start the mission, it doesn't begin.

Went to the glassed caverns and the scorchbeast was bugged, showed that it was invisable and just standing next to the fissure. Easy kill.

Also, this quest is under your Daily tab, I was confused why it wasnt starting, but I already had it.

Server hop until you see a blast zone in the south east of the map. Travel there and you'll either find scortch beast cadavers or people still fighting them... It counted for me after getting close to a cadaver without ever having fired a shot.

The access button to the elevator wouldn’t press for me when first walking into Fort Defiance. Had to reset the game and jump servers for it to finally find a server with an already opened door. Recruitment Blues was already completed, so no idea why the elevator and upper levels were inaccessible 🤷🏻‍♂️

Completed this today. Started it several days ago, got to the point where I needed the Scorchbeast DNA, took 2 days before I did that step, and had the DNA for another 2 days before I completed the quest.

So one sitting shouldn't be required.

When I did it, I didn't have to kill anything. I got an icon location to go where the Scorchbeast was, and it was lying there dead. Simple 5 minute quest

Got this today 2021 28th June.

Be sure to enter the University from the right door of the main building. The terminal is located in this side.

diseased Scorchbeast does count.
Easy location: Whitespring Resort, the entrance in front of the Whitespring Station has a robot that usually fight against a scorchbeast. Be sure to give the final blast so the kill count on you.

If you are having issues completing this Trophy.
If you are looking for an easy way to kill a Scorchbeast for the DNA Sample without waiting around for one to fall out of the sky in front of you.

You can go to the end of the Glassed Caverns and defeat a Scorchbeast easily.
In my video, I show you how to beat that scorchbeast.

Thanks

The trophy is awarded for completing a DAILY task from the Brotherhood of Steel, at its base from the terminal. Forces you to go to Vol-Tek University and kill the 1st Scorchbeast (you don’t need to loot the corpse, but collect DNA using )

An extremely unclear and inconvenient hint that people will use to look for the Scorchbeast at the university. Therefore, I will give my version: 1. We go to Fort Defiance - 4th floor. 2. We find Grant’s scriptor terminal. (near the power armor station). 3. We take from it daily task “Heart of the Enemy”. 4. Teleport. to any fault (there you will quickly find a scorch beast). 5. We take DNA from it and then follow the marks on the map to Vault-Tec University and further to the centrifuge.

For those who find it difficult to kill these Scorchbeasts, or are simply annoyed by their constant flights and calls of the Scorched, there is one place: the Glass Cave. At the end of this cave there will be a beast. He will not call anyone and fly accordingly either.
