Walking with Spirits Walking with Spirits is a " Fallout 3 " quest and achievement and trophy that is added to the game with the " Point Lookout " add - on . Detailed walkthrough . Finding the Tribals . After the Lone Wanderer assists Desmond in defending the Calvert Mansion from tribal s , Mr . Lockheart ' s next request is to infiltrate the Ark & Dove cathedral to the north ( the tribals ' base of operations ) to discover the reasoning behind their attacks . Although the cathedral gates are locked and seemingly abandoned , a guard sees the Lone Wanderer from a distance and speaks to them via an intercom . Being snide to him will break his concentration and make him drop his shamanistic attitude long enough to issue a scolding . Although he says that the tribals don ' t " just take any recruit , " he sends the Lone Wanderer to the rite of initiation without even a face - to - face meeting . The next task is to venture out west into the Sacred Bog Entrance and take part in the Ritual of the Mother Seed . Seeds of Vision . Inside the bog , many mirelurks ( and possibly swamplurks depending on character level ) appear . At the final grove , the Mother Punga and its purple seeds will be ready for the taking . Once the Mother Punga is activated , it will no longer be possible to pick anything up until the punga effects wear off . Taking the seeds of the plant causes an incapacitating gas to spray out from the fruit . The Lone Wanderer then awakens to a psychedelic hallucination . Since the Mother Punga is found at a dead end , the only option is for the player to go back the way they came . On the way back , giant bobbleheads , called " Schmault - Tec bubbleheads " ( fake versions of Vault - Tec bobblehead s ) appear , none of which can actually be added to the player character ' s inventory . Cryptic messages are written on them , ranging from expressing the character ' s inner doubts and fears to making fun of their misfortunes . The hallucinations encompass the Lone Wanderer ' s experiences in a cryptic fashion ( such as Nuka Cola Quantum from the Nuka Cola Challenge , or a Megaton Bomb from The Power of the Atom ) . The first hallucination is a large red translucent bonesaw , which appears to be randomly sawing into the ground . Next will be Nuka - Cola Quantum s that make baby sounds when they explode . After this , there will be dolls on poles that appear to be waving , or perhaps pointing the way ahead . There will also be silver needles sewing stitches into the ground . A violin plays in the background near any of the several trees that have " grown " into the shape of the instrument . Ghost ghoul s will attack ( which won ' t cause damage , and which may or may not even be visible ) . Journeying through an upside - down swamp leads to Catherine ' s skeleton , labeled " Mom , " upon an operating table surrounded by party balloons , displaying the cruel point that it was giving birth that caused her death . Further on , there are several dead bodies of various people from the Capital Wasteland that disintegrate when searched , including Lucas Simms ( floating inside the rocks between and to the left of Amata and the settler ) , Moira Brown , Amata , Elder Lyons , and an unnamed settler . When interacted with they disappear ; they can , however , be picked up and moved around . Last up is a larger version of the Megaton bomb with a character similar to Mister Burke named " Mister Break " standing in front of it . In the background behind the bomb , the Washington Monument can be seen . In Tobar ' s voice he says , " Congratulations , my boy ( or " my dear " for a female character ) , you are going to pull through and everything will be right as rain . " When spoken to , he will say , " No , no . Don ' t try to get up yet . You ' ll only hurt yourself . " The bomb then " explodes , " shaking the screen and controller but without dealing actual damage , and the scene cuts to the front of the Sacred Bog , the hallucination having ended . Return to the Tribals . At this point , it will be possible to enter the Ark & Dove cathedral . Also , the player character , when viewed in third - person , will appear without any headwear and will have a shaven head with a large scar . It will not be possible to re - equip headwear until Nadine removes the scar . Apparently , she has joined the tribals to procure their punga , in failing to achieve her original goal of discovering treasure in Point Lookout . Understanding the Visions . During the Tailing the Tomboy quest , it is revealed that Tobar follows the Lone Wanderer into the Sacred Bog . While the Lone Wanderer is unconscious from the effects of the punga fruit , Tobar removes a piece of their brain ( he allegedly has done this to many of the tribals as well ) . Undergoing this surgery earns the Point Lookout Tribe ' s acceptance . The hallucination at the Sacred bog entrance can be interpreted as follows : " Bubbleheads " . There are seven " Schmault - Tec bubbleheads " found during the hallucination , each representing a SPECIAL attribute . The bubbleheads are larger than standard bobbleheads and do not behave like the latter by adding points . Instead , each displays a taunt that reflects the related statistic of the bubblehead . The Perception bubblehead is Tobar commenting on the Lone Wanderer ' s face post - surgery and the Agility , Charisma , and Luck bubbleheads are him commenting on what the Lone Wanderer says while under the Punga ' s influence . Below is the message each bubblehead contains in the order they can be found : Reward . Access to the tribals ' headquarters , 300 XP , and the Punga Power ! perk .
