Dunwich Borers Dunwich Borers is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287 and is home to a group of raiders . After clearing out the raiders that occupy the above ground portion of the quarry , the Sole Survivor can enter an underground section . Background . Before the Great War , the site was owned by Dunwich Borers LLC , a company that manufactured rock drills for tunneling and drilling . Initially , from what can be read from the terminals , the work site was extremely hazardous and a general lack of employee safety was apparent . However , as the Sole Survivor progresses further through the underground mine , a sinister operation is partially revealed . It is never exactly revealed what the goal of " Management " is , although a flashback vision and the ruined shrine at the deepest part of the mine , coupled with the consistent negative effect on the people who have taken up residency here points to dark supernatural forces at work . It is possibly related to the ritual that was performed in the Dunwich Building during " Fallout 3 " , where the supernatural entity called " Ug - Qualtoth " was being honored . A partially revealed face , seemingly of a large silvery statue , is visible at the bottom of the radioactive well where Kremvh ' s Tooth is found , so it can be inferred that the main objective of the mining operation was excavating this subterranean colossus . Layout . The entrance is located at the bottom of the quarry . The area is guarded by about a dozen raiders , including one in power armor . There is a tripwire trap not far from the entrance . Upon entering , on the left there is a lift which leads to a door requiring a key from the corpse on the other side of this door where the Sole Survivor will emerge after going all the way through the facility . Continuing ahead from the entrance , is a turret and several more raiders . A circuit breaker switch controls the power and some of the spotlights . The unlocked Station 1 terminal is next to it on the right and can be used to turn off turrets , but be wary as there is a grenade trap near the terminal . Ahead of this , there is a small camp with a machinegun turret , a mattress and a cooking station . The way ahead now leads to the left . A side ladder leads to a ( Novice ) locked cell ( tripwire trap at the bottom of the stairs ) , and back down the main path is terminal 2 . Just beyond the terminal is a weapons workbench with an ammo crate , a sleeping bag and a ( Novice ) locked cooler . Continuing on to terminal 3 , a huge pit opens up at the bottom of which Bedlam will be found . A ( Novice ) locked terminal belonging to Bedlam is attached to the reservoir in the middle of the pit . There are also an armor workbench with an issue of Astoundingly Awesome Tales placed on it , a steamer trunk and two sleeping bags . Ahead from the pit is a door which Bedlam has apparently chained shut ; removing the chains allows access to a corridor with feral ghoul corpses . Farther along , near a wrecked machine with a skeleton , is a door on the left . Opening it triggers the first flashback . There are more circuit breakers in the ghoul infested area ; activating them turns on the lights and triggers a large group of ghouls to start running towards the player character . Once past the initial ghoul attack , there is a significant fork in the path . Straight ahead is the way to work station 4 and beyond it a water - filled pit with another flashback . The left hand part of the fork heading upwards leads to work stations 5 and 6 and eventually back to the exit . Appearances . Dunwich Borers only appears in " Fallout 4 " . Behind the scenes . Similar to the Dunwich Building in " Fallout 3 " , random flashbacks to times before the Great War happen spontaneously , hinting to its paranormal background and its relations to the author , and his book series , the Cthulhu Mythos , and particularly , the short story , " " . Note that in the bottom of the well in the end , one can notice part of a statue that resembles a face . Using Console commands it ' s possible to clip outside of the map to reveal the whole statue . The buried statue might be a reference to another one of Lovecraft ' s stories , " " , in which the protagonist digs underneath an abandoned , haunted house , only to uncover the elbow of a colossal being buried underneath .
