Fallout 76: The Eye Of The Storm Quest Walkthrough (2024)

Fallout 76's Skyline Valley story brings us through the story of the Stolz family, the Lost, and Vault 63, whose fates all hang in the balance as the questline reaches its climax. Hugo Stolz finally has control over the Lost leaving Audrey, Hilda, and Oberlin with little choice but to challenge Hugo.

When their last experiment fails to stop Hugo's progress, Audrey, Hilda, and Oberlin turn to you to help keep Hugo from dropping a bomb that will create more Lost. It's up to you to fight your way to Hugo and stop his dangerous plans before he takes over the Skyline Valley.

How To Start The Eye Of The Storm

The Eye of the Storm begins immediately after Gathering Clouds concludes.

To progress, check in with Oberlin in Vault 63 to get a situation report before he sends you out to confront Hugo.

Oberlin lets you know that Hugo has taken Cassidy with him, and he's planning to bring her under his control with the rest of the Lost.

Head to the Hawksbill Weather Station to meet up with Audrey and discuss the plan.

Audrey warns you of the Lost that block the path ahead, and tells you to fight your way upstairs to the Weather Chamber to confront Hugo.

Defeat the Lost in your way and ascend the stairs to reach Hugo.

How To Defeat Hugo Stolz

After a brief conversation, the showdown with Hugo will begin – but he isn't alone.

Hugo spawns a group of Lost to fight with him, making this one of the most challenging fights in Fallout 76.

It's easy to get overwhelmed here, but Hugo should be your main priority, as you must deplete his HP bar three times before he finally gives up.

When you get Hugo's HP close to zero, he will perform an animation and regenerate back to 100 percent, calling a new horde of Lost to fight with him.

Defeat Hugo as fast as possible, as his shots from the Tesla Rifle he uses can hit you from anywhere in the room, making it futile to try running away.

Once you defeat Hugo a few times, he will eventually give up and let you decide his fate.

You have three approaches to choose from:

1. Speak to Hugo to hear more about his reasoning before deciding.
2. Immediately kill Hugo where he stands as Audrey Stolz asked.
3. Opt to take Hugo prisoner as James Oberlin asked.

Choose wisely, as this decision will impact the future of Vault 63.

If you kill Hugo or imprison Hugo, James Oberlin will become the Overseer of Vault 63.

If you side with Hugo, he will remain as the Overseer and every member of Vault 63 will become Lost.
