The Price of Memory - Fallout 4 Guide - IGN (2024)

Speak with Jule and then with Cog

Once Cog tells Jule to spill the beans, and she'll talk about how she's been having dreams...visions...memories? Something to do with a boat on fire, which may sound familiar. She'll also have a key - Victoria's Key - another red flag, and tell you to fix things.

Speak with Cog afterwards and he'll task you with returning to the boat to get to the bottom of things - surely Farday's boat, the chest and key, and Jules are all connected somehow.

Investigate the Boat

Travel back to the Southwest Harbor and return to the burning boat. Now you can finally unlock the chest, which doesn't have a storage drive, but does have a note...from Victoria? This Victoria apparently knew Farday, and there's something about his terminal you should check in on...

Search Farday's Terminal

The terminal in question isn't the one near DiMA, but in the basem*nt of the observatory near the storage closet, next to a master locked terminal and door. Ignore the current projects and look into the past projects - the reconstruction surgeries. Surgery 006 reveals that this Victoria - Jules, suffered severe trauma to her cognitive functions, at which point Faraday made the decision to wipe her mind without her consent.

If you want additional details, you can confront Faraday and ask him to explain what went down, and he'll plead with you not to tell Jule.

Tell Jule or Cog about her past

This moral dilemma now falls to you. Do you give Jule the incredibly hard news that her former self is gone forever, at the hands of her friends? Or do you confide in Cog and let her remain sort of blissfully unaware?

If you tell Cog, he'll be adamant you keep it a secret to preserve what's left of Jule's sanity. If you agree to this and keep Jule in the dark, Cog will give you a legendary Sledgehammer as thanks.

If you reveal the truth to Jule, she'll become understandably upset at the betrayal of her supposed friends, and call it quits from Acadia. Before leaving for good, she'll give you her key, which opens a footlocker in an alcove in the basem*nt between the stairs and Faraday's lab. The lockbox will contain a few items, including a legendary synth armor.
