Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC is widely regarded as some of the best content in the entire game, largely due to its reactivity and branching paths compared to the main story. This even extends to the side quests, with The Great Hunt presenting the player with yet another classic moral dilemma.

The Great Hunt is one of the less eventful quests you’ll find on Far Harbor’s Island, but the twist and choice it presents make it one of the most memorable. This unconventional big game hunt ends with you having to make a choice between truth and lies, and the right choice isn’t clear. Fortunately, there’s an optimal choice to be made here that will lead to the best outcome for everyone involved.

Fallout 4’s Great Hunt quest begins after completing the Hull Breach quest. Hull Breach tasks you with helping the Mariner, the closest thing the town of Far Harbor has to a chief of security. This quest naturally follows on from that, and begins with the Mariner dropping a pretty major bombshell: she’s terminally ill and has one final request so she can die happy. For years, Far Harbor has been terrified of a legendary beast known as the Red Death, responsible for beaching countless ships. In order to help the Mariner cement her legacy, it’s up to you to defeat the Red Death once and for all.

It sounds like a prelude to an epic boss battle, but the truth is far less legendary. As you’ll discover when you follow the Mariner to the Isle of the Red Death, the so-called legendary beast is in fact a small Mirelurk that’s perfectly tame and harmless. Its impressive kill count is thanks solely to its glowing red eyes, which prompt ships to investigate and then promptly tear them apart in the rocky shallows. Still, this is far from the most dangerous creature in the game, especially when you factor in the new additions of the next-gen update. Once you take down the Red Death with a single bullet, the Mariner is understandably humbled by the whole affair.
