For most players, getting killed immediately after entering a new area in Fallout 4 is enough to reconsider playing that level at all. FischiPiSti is not like most players.
There’s a quest in Fallout 4 called Out of the Fire, and it asks you to clear a level full of “Forged” enemies. These folks come decked with flamethrowers and molotovs — anything that can burn you to a crisp, they’re packing.
It was, by far, my worst experience in the game. The final room with the boss in particular was so awful, the guy would kill me almost immediately after entering the room. Better yet, the game auto-saved my entering that room, and my only save before that moment would require me to lose hours of progress. It was horrible.
I can’t recall how many times I died in that room. Adding to the challenge was that Piper decided to immediately turn on me when I entered the room too, for reasons beyond my understanding — so even if I managed to beat the guy, I’d end up losing a beloved companion in the process. An impossible situation indeed.
Eventually I found that, if I moved quickly enough, I could just leave the room before most of the shit-show triggered. Then I asked Piper to wait for me outside while I tried to mop up the Forged waiting for me in the other room. It took a long time, but eventually I did clear it.
All of this to say, I understand FischiPiSti‘s struggle during this video. When Fischi finally figures it out, not only is their solution to the problem hilarious, it’s also damned cathartic. I would have screamed! God, I would have thrown myself into the fire too! AAaaaaAAAAAaaaaa
I mean, ahem. Yes. This was an excellent video. A+, FischiPiSti.

That was great 😛
Holy crap that’s not an acronym I’ve seen for… so…long…I feel so old.
i just went in with power armor, was extremely simple and easy
Yep.
Power armor and drugs
Interesting glitch, honestly at the start of the game I have 2 power suits and 4-5 power cores already, and miniguns. It’s not too hard infact, kill the henchmen, shoot the bosses CORE on the suit when he turns around to hit dogmeat or whatever.
power suits become epic later on in the game, I did this the other day on survival difficulty, without reloading, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1PaFlS4XWs
I remember that battle being tough but nowhere near as bad as that…. Oh wait, “survival difficulty”, makes sense now. I’ll just keep playing on Normal lol.
The only annoyance for me was becoming overencumbered so quickly whilst looting their armour and flamethrowers lol
I had a dialogue with the boss when I entered this room.. some quest relating to a nearby farm I believe. So I interrupted the dialogue, entered sneak and pickpocketed the fusion core off the boss.
What’s PDHPE class?
Personal Development, Health and Physical Education, a compulsory high school subject in NSW. It’s the one where they teach you about peer pressure and how to put a condom on plastic fruit.
Plastic? We had to use real bananas. Although it was Northern NSW and the real thing was probably cheaper and more readily available than the fake plastic ones… 😉
