Fallout 4: The Best Way To Deal With Initiate Clarke

How Do You Handle Initiate Clarke in Fallout 4?

This is a tricky situation you gotta handle during the "Duty or Dishonor" quest in Fallout 4. It's time to take on Initiate Clarke, a Brotherhood of Steel member! This quest is actually more of a problem for the players! You've got choices, and they're all tricky - they impact everything!

Do you convince him to leave the Brotherhood?

Yeah, you could tell him to pack his bags. That means leaving The Brotherhood of Steel! And that's where things get confusing. It depends what happens next with The Brotherhood of Steel, and what the player's goal is!

He might actually meet you again. It is kinda cool to see what he's been up to and see the impact of that decision! But there is no guarantee - you'll have to do more searching to find him, so, you don't get much reward for your effort.
You only get a few caps and some experience. So it's like getting a bonus at the end, but not so amazing.

Can you just lie?

It's definitely easier to lie and say you never saw anything! This way he gets to stay with The Brotherhood of Steel. He’s more likely to help with future quests if he’s still part of the crew, and it might affect other players - the game's overall story!

Why shouldn’t I just kill him?

Yeah, that’s an option too - but why would you wanna do that? This option gets you 100 caps, but only if you go to Captain Kells to give a report and tell them you killed Clarke, so this quest does impact those around you in a negative way.

He will only ever become more of a problem! Because of how he feels about ghouls. So it’s really best to give the guy a chance and even make friends with him even if it's for the quest rewards!

What Is The Best Choice for Clarke?

The best move for this Fallout 4 quest - and you'll get the coolest stuff, too - is to convince him to turn himself in to The Brotherhood. This actually earns you an amazing piece of armor. And that extra experience? Yes, please.

The Perks of Choosing The Best Outcome

Yeah, they'll throw him in a prison cell. It's kind of harsh! And, it is actually possible to free him from prison - you can get him out during another Fallout 4 quest called "Precipice of War." And you won't have to worry about fighting with him or The Railroad.

You're ready to get your Fallout 4 skills sharpened! Now, get ready to take on this awesome open-world RPG adventure that has all these choices and all these wild situations. The "Wasteland" awaits!
