Beware of the lights.

Since its release in 2015, Fallout 4 has been a gaming treasure trove. Players have spent countless hours exploring every corner of the wasteland, uncovering numerous hidden treasures related to modern culture, and much more.

Something many gamers might not know is a hidden clue in Bethesda’s hit title that references the critically acclaimed television series Lost. Responding to a Twitter question about “useless knowledge about video games,” comedian Dan Wilbur shares that a quarry in Fallout 4 contains a secret chain of events that serve as a nod to the show, with a reward for those who discover them .

Interestingly, Wilbur’s response created a forum for discussion as fans came to clarify and debate whether this is a reference to Lost or an HP Lovecraft novel, Dunwich Horrors. An artist who worked on Fallout’s Deathclaw came to Dan’s defense to confirm that Dan’s assumption is correct since both worked on Fallout 4 and were fans of Lost.

Since its debut in 2015, Fallout 4 has been heralded as one of Bethesda’s biggest hits, as it builds on everything the previous iteration cemented in its post-apocalyptic world. Just a few weeks ago, a YouTuber created a mash-up of Shrek and Fallout 4, with the end product proving to be an ambitious crossover that the gaming industry needs more.
