6 Most Terrifying Places In The Fallout Universe

6. Dunwich Building - Fallout 3

It's not without a reason that the Dunwich Building is considered by many to be the creepiest place in Fallout 3, bar none. While wandering the Capital Wasteland, the Lone Wanderer would eventually hear NPCs in the game talking about the Dunwich Building, how it's got 'bad mojo' and how you should 'stay the hell away'.

Coming into this place, it isn't Deathclaws or Super Mutants you're dealing with (life in the Fallout universe would've been much, much easier if it was). No, you're dealing with much worse: Eldritch horrors.

Just step a toe through the door of the building and you understand why. The moment you enter, you're hit with a series of hallucinations, supernatural phenomenons that when mixed with the ramshackle and sepulchral atmosphere inside the building feel like they are ripped straight from a Lovecraftian's novel. That was the developers' intention in the first place, to echo Lovecraft's beloved 1929 novel, "The Dunwich Horrors".

Ghouls spawn all around you, trying to kill you off. If you crank the volume up high enough, you can even hear bodiless voices whispering things to you inside the building. It was all a nightmarish show that I was completely unprepared to deal with when I wandered inside.

If you think that you have what it takes and want to give it a visit, walk to Girdershade, then talk to Ronald Laren. Ask him whether there is anything interesting to see in the region and he tells you about the building. Its location will be automatically updated on your Pip-Boy's map.
