Have the Courser Chip Analyzed by Doctor Amari

Return to Doctor Amari in the Memory Den at Goodneighbor to have the Courser Chip analyzed. Unfortunately, cracking a Courser Chip is way beyond her expertise and she'll advise you to seek out the Railroad for help.

Solve the Freedom Trail Code

In order to find the Railroad, you will need to solve the Freedom Trail Code at Boston Common to find out the location and password to their headquarters.

Alternatively, if you already know the Railroad HQ's location or if you don't want to do this mini-quest, you can skip this step.

Freedom Trail Code

Enter the Railroad HQ

Map Location
Overworld

The Railroad's HQ is at the basement of the Old North Church. You will need to input the code RAILROAD on the ring to open the entrance. To do this, spin the ring until a letter reaches the arrow at the top and hit the button at the center to enter that letter.
