Detailed walkthroughEdit
When teleporting to the Institute, one must talk to Father. He will ask you to craft a speech at a microphone beside a terminal near him. He gives an announcement script which you can dictate. After recording, he will then give you the task of going to Diamond City to boost the range of Diamond City Radio. Once arriving in Diamond City, head over to Travis's shack where he broadcasts from. When entering his shack, look on the floor for a box of radio things for his transmitter gear.
Place the gear in the correct location:
- 'Radio thing with the buttons' goes to the left.
- 'Radio thing with dials' goes in the center.
- 'Radio thing with the tubes' goes on the right.
After that is done, return to Father, who is waiting in the reactor room at the Institute. He will prompt you to install the beryllium agitator that was acquired from the previous mission into the reactor.
After placing the agitator in the reactor, one must activate it using the terminal nearby. The door to the reactor will close and the player character must then talk to Father. He will ask you attend a board meeting as the director. At the board meeting the future plans of the Institute will be discussed.
The player character will discover that the Directorate has already made the decision to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. If arguing for a solution that avoids conflict, it will be rejected because the Brotherhood of Steel has already voided it by invading the Commonwealth with their troops and airships.
One has to decide whether the Institute shall focus on further development of synths or weapons. When the meeting concludes this quest completes and the quest End of the Line starts automatically.

NotesEdit
- Choosing any of the options during the crafting of the speech has no effect on the Institute's stand or ending.
- The speech can be heard intermittently on Diamond City Radio after quest completion.
- If the player character is enemies with the Institute, the speech is held by Shaun instead.
Behind the scenesEdit
The Institute's reactor shape is based on the tokamak design used in fusion research over the last few decades.
BugsEdit
- PCPlaystation 4Xbox One Sitting down will not start the meeting and you are unable to speak with the participants. One possible cause for this bug might be the destruction of the Brotherhood of Steel prior to finishing this quest.[verified]
- Leaving and re-entering the Institute may fix the problem.
- PCPlaystation 4 When entering the reactor room Enrico Thompson will have exchanged his yellow institute coat for a blue one while still working in the Facilities department.[verified]

After you decide to Join the Institute faction, you will be assigned with few quest in order to gain Trust of this faction. In This Institute Quest Walkthrough, we will complete the first three quest: Synth Retention, The Battle of Bunker Hill and Mankind Redefined.
Synth Retention:
This is the very first quest after you have agreed to Father with you joining to Institute. A very simple and harmless quest with just 4 to 5 enemies.
Objective
- Reclaim the Rogue Synth
Walkthrough
Your Mission will start after talking to Father, he will ask you to meet Courser to know more about the Rogue Synth. Then Courser X6-88 will be asked to assist you with the mission. You need to Leave the Institute and head straight to Nahant Sheriff's Department. Now that the department is deserted and heavily guarded with Raiders and Turrets you might want to avoid all the risk.
Either you try to swim to the Synth's location which is near the Shanty tower on a sunken tanker or check the platform from the Trash boat and use it to travel. Once you reach the marked location(Libertalia), climb up to enter the Captain's Cabin now first thing to do here is grab the Legendary shotgun Le Fusil Terribles and then interact with Courser X6-88 to get the reset Code for the Synth.
The Rogue Synth(Gabriel) will be along with his 2 Lieutenants so whether you can reset him with the code Courser gave or take him and his companion down it's all up to you. Once you have completed the Mission, return to Father and he will reward you with your own living quarter along with supplies. Once you are done checking the room go ahead and talk to Courser X6-88 to proceed with the next Quest.
The Battle of Bunker Hill
This is the second Essential Quest in Institute faction where you need to choose which faction you are loyal with and with that the game scenario will also change.
Objective
- Find the escaped Synths
Walkthrough
Firstly go and speak to Father where he will alert you with some stolen Synths ans ask you to get it back from the Bunker Hill, but you have the option to select the Faction you are Loyal with and here are the option and scenarios which may appear:

- The Railroad - Free the Synths and in return making the Institute and Brotherhood of Steel against you as your enemies.
- The Minutemen - After you finish the quest Bunker Hill becomes a Settlement you can develop.
Note: Even if you choose to stand against the Institute, the next Quest Mankind Redefined will still be available in your activity log after this quest is over.
If we presume the you stand with Institute then continue with X4-18 to get the Synth recall codes, ready to fight against the Strongholds and finally get access to the Basement's Trapdoor. Now that you are done dealing with the enemies and turrets it's time to deal with the Faction loyalty and here is the option you will get to choose what to do with the Synths if you are with:
- Institute - Reset them
- Brotherhood - Kill them
- Railroad - Free them
Leave the Bunker Hill and get back to the C.I.T. Ruins to the west after your done dealing with the Synths. You need to get inside the Ruins from the ground floor entrance. While you get to the marked location the Synth will have the Super Mutants positioned throughout the location, so get to the roof quickly either via the battleground or the stairwell and once you reach the top go and have a word with Father to complete the side Quest.
Mankind Redefined
Another Essential Institute Mission, but a very Short one which start just after the Bunker Hill Mission. Here you need to do is Attend the Institute Conference Meeting.
