The Endurance Bobblehead is one of several miscellaneous items players can acquire in Fallout 4. There are several different bobbleheads scattered across the Commonwealth, some requiring sleuthing and effort to discover. In-universe, these bobbleheads were promotional items distributed by the Vault-Tec corporation. For in-game purposes, they confer excellent benefits to the player. This guide will cover what the Endurance Bobblehead in particular provides and how one can obtain it.
What the Endurance Bobblehead Does
Similar to its other bobblehead kin, the Endurance Bobblehead grants the player a permanent stat boost. As the name implies, it raises the Endurance stat by 1. Endurance is one of Fallout 4′s seven basic stats as part of its SPECIAL system. The stat governs the Sole Survivor’s maximum Hit Points (HP) along with the rate at which their Action Points decay. This increases the tankiness of the player and helps with survivability. Endurance in Fallout 4 is applied retroactively, so the player will gain back any maximum HP they would have received at previous levels whenever it is increased. Endurance is one of the finer stats to dump points into no matter the build you are attempting.
Where to Find the Endurance Bobblehead
The Endurance Bobblehead can be found at Poseidon Energy, a power plant once operated by the Poseidon Energy corporation. Poseidon Energy is located in the southeasternmost sector of the Commonwealth, near the Quincy Ruins and Police Station. There are two main ways to gain access to the plant’s interior: either its front door or drainpipes. The front door to Poseidon Energy can be finagled with a pick, but this requires a Master level in the Lockpicking skill. Should the player not have the requisite aptitude for this, they can discover a series of pipes in the back section of the plant. Wading into the water and going inside the pipes will allow you to enter the plant through some grating.
The path to the Endurance Bobblehead could be longer or quicker depending on the route you choose. When the player enters the facility, they will discover a group of raiders have overtaken it. Confronting both raiders and defense turrets will be necessary in navigating Poseidon Energy. You will also have to handle a few Mirelurks on the sub-level when opting for the drainpipe path. The road will be somewhat long and winding. Several corridors and flights of stairs will be maneuvered as the player traverses in a mostly linear path. Along the way, a few Novice-level terminals and doors must be breached to make progress, though this should not be an arduous challenge.
Finding the Endurance Bobblehead
The ultimate goal will be to make your way to the central structure of Poseidon Energy. There the player will have to contend with a unique bandit named Cutty, the raiders’ leader. Cutty will be adorned with power armor and could make for a difficult fight. Once Cutty has been defeated, the player will discover the Endurance Bobblehead on a nearby desk next to a broken terminal. Picking up the item is all one needs to do to reap its rewards.
Also located on the desk is an additional prize in the form of a Tesla Science Magazine. Reading this magazine will bestow the player a level in the Tesla Science perk, which boosts critical damage percentages from energy weapons. The bobblehead and perk magazine are welcome boons for the grueling fights needed to locate them. With the search at an end, the player is free to explore the rest of the facility or travel elsewhere as part of their journey.
In Conclusion
While the path to the Endurance Bobblehead is treacherous, the permanent stat boost it provides is well worth it. Even if the player has maxed out their Endurance stat, the bobblehead will push them over the limit. Intriguingly, the Endurance Bobblehead has appeared in other media, including a card in Magic: The Gathering. A real-life bobblehead based on it was also once sold in the Bethesda Store. Regardless, the Endurance Bobblehead is a unique item with an advantageous effect that every player should seek out.
