This takes 7 days to be able to do this quest Bethesda added to Fallout 76 back in August of 2023! Hopefully this is something new to you, and you enjoy the video.

[@blackmib]

Is this a reupload?

[@GrmDark]

Aries looks like he just came over from the Borderlands games and since Appalachia is so cozy in comparison he just stayed lol 😂

[@CinnaMint]

Chased after Scooter 😅

[@briantalmage2041]

That's why he where's the mask. The sheepsquatch robot tore his face off

[@aq5426]

Yep.

[@draycephantom9940]

That still doesn’t make any sense because you face the sheep robot during the storyline and u tell him about it he gets surprised and confused like he’s never heard or seen it before

[@user-cv3mk4sd6u]

​@draycephantom9940 he doesn't tell anyone. He doesn't even want to tell you until 7 days of jobs for blue caravan so it's his secret

[@briantalmage2041]

@@user-cv3mk4sd6u the last tape of Calvin trying to reprogram the robot to act like a sheepsquatch he messed by accidentally removing saftey protocols and as soon as he gives his code for approval it takes his mouth almost completely off. Also I'd you do the brotherhood of steel quest "Out of the Blue" looking for the missing caravan in the Harpers Ferry tunnels. It gives you the back story on how calvin got the robot and why he was trying to scare the Lewisburg neighborhood his family's taxidermy's office is in. If you take all the info you get from both quests it tells the entire story of calvin van low. He basically was hired on with Bysshe company straight out of college. They wanted to buy the rights to Lewisburg as cheap as possible so he was supposed to use his inside knowledge to scare the town into selling. It obviously didnt work out for him but the company ended up buying most of it after it was all said and done anyway. Than I guess Calvin Van lowe became Aries and started working for the blue caravan company a while later. Sorry for spoilers but if you havnt done the BhoS quests they are worth the effort and you get some good money and loot as well as power armor of course along with a halfway decent story line to add more depth to your playthrough!

​@@briantalmage2041aw fuck man. New player, did not yet know aries is Calvin. Thought aries was a cool character, now I hate him.

[@KentuckyRanger]

I always liked this side quest. Glad you brought it to the attention of new players.

[@Binidj]

The poem quoted on the tape is from Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats, by Percy Bysshe Shelley. I imagine some of those names look a little familiar. 🙂

[@pwojo9776]

I found this quest-chain a few months back after getting back into fallout 76, sometime after the show airing and bethesda nuking fallout 4 with an update. I needed an event to complete for the scoreboard, I thought "oh, let me do riding shotgun, that one's fun, I could use some pepperoni rolls and I don't think I have all the rewards". It was a fun week. It fleshed out a lot of the world and characters. They feel more personal now. I like Eugenie, I sell her all the weapons I loot off of enemies. Aries I like, too. I just wish there was a way to opt-out of being called "knight-errant"; I know it's nitpicky and it's cause of a main-story thing, it's a role-playing thing to me, I'd prefer to be called a Responder over the Brotherhood. I don't like the Brotherhood, I really don't, especially the way Shin wanted to do things more like the West Coast chapter; Rahmani would make a better Responder, I wish that was an option, tell her "hey, you don't seem like the rest of these guys, holding people at gunpoint for resources and technology, why don't you join this group actually trying to rebuild and help people?" because it seems like that's what she wants to do.

[@aquaticpimp]

Thank you. I never even knew about this and have completed every quest. I log on just to do daily/monthly. Right now the mutated events are pretty good too. Love seeing them start to put high quality content into this game. It's come a long way.

[@Poke-ladd]

Honestly I was confused when listening to the hollotapes, I playing them in reverse order you collected them makes sense

[@Sgt_Kane]

Why would anyone burn the tapes? Bethesda really struggles with the multi-choice thing.

[@ideki]

The Aries astrological symbol is a sheep. So was kinda of a give away from the get go.

[@Sxlent_Devil]

I really loved this Questline. He's one of my favorite Charas.

[@Lionheart-mg7qf]

ARIES DONT RUIN CARTERS INNOCENCE BY TELLING HIM ABOUT TOXIC LARRY

[@BenjiMeisterDK]

Fill like alot of players also miss the quest from a poster at grafton station

[@gordiausprime614]

I thought Atlantic City was just a new expedition until I found a poster at a train station 😞😅

[@IrishVapeLife]

It was a lot of fun last year when they first added it

[@santerial]

I like wholesome quests like this where you help people out. Its nice to see someone do something good for a broken world.

[@artofwar420]

I started this quest by placing the sheep squash poster in my camp then noticing you could interact with it.

[@RifleGaming]

That's a different questline. But that one you trigger is required to complete to start the secret quest I show in this video!

[@artofwar420]

@@RifleGaming gotchu gotchu, yes i gotta make sure i do this quest you're talking about. Lots of steps!

[@jebus211]

Someone put up a "sheepsquash ate my ass" in their camp and that's how I found it hahaha

[@Destro517]

I just finished this quest yesterday loved it hope we get more with aries

[@KING_SHOTS89]

Thanks man very helpful for us lv 141's 🤘

[@jennynovakova4137]

after all these quests you will be able to start Riding shotgun event that can drop blue ridge caravan outfit or backpacck or flag

[@commando414]

Now that's what I would call an immersive side quest.

[@spelareNR14]

I kinda feel ashamed for already knowing Aries was Calvin because of the wiki. But with this quest it all comes full circle. Once I go through the whole thing instead of skipping to the ending.

[@danieldykstra4100]

Should have shown up in the sheepsquatch costume ;)

[@CinnaMint]

When this was added in, it gave me the impression that it was a week-long event where you get different rewards for each day-long event quest that you do, and I didn't get to play until the 4th day after it dropped, so I ignored it entirely. Thanks for this video!

[@volta1492]

I highly suspected back in the BOS storyline that Aries was Calvin. And I came across this quest last week when I was finishing up the Costa Work missions.

[@chrismsmalley2626]

I did that quest yesterday and was awarded the imposter sheepsquatch outfit already. Defeated the Assaultron with the electric system etc. She was cloaked and had to be stunned to be neutralized. Then the quest awards came in and i got a tesla rifle and ammo and a couple other items? I don't remember exactly what all was in the reward package? She was tough. And there were other bots in the fight too.

[@gruntes11isttt]

I did this a long time ago when they added the blue Ridge caravan event

[@RifleGaming]

This was added years after the blue ridge caravan event called riding shotgun released

[@ThatDeadGuy]

@@RifleGaming the added Blue Ridge Caravan events gruntes was talking about are 'safe and sound' and 'beasts of burden'.

[@Jeremy-k9t]

@@RifleGaming This was released with the wild wasteland update. That was the first update for F76 and it was 5 years ago. It was just a few months after F76 launched.

[@becampbell9385]

This quest has been the game for a while now

[@dirtdealer6813]

I just stumbled across the quest.

[@S0VEREIGN2155]

I don't think I ever did those vinny quests and I came back after the show

[@draycephantom9940]

Doesn’t make any sense at all that he’s Calvin. For one when u face the sheep robot at the brotherhood storyline and tell him about it he gets surprised and confused like he’s never heard or seen it before… unless he was actually trying to unalive the hero and paladin rah then pretends he didn’t know anything about it…

[@Lionheart-mg7qf]

Or maybe he was lying. He knows that we have been doing the Van Lowe storyline because he’s been keeping tabs on us. We never see Calvin’s corpse, so yeah, it does make sense. Plus, he didn’t work at the Byshe gas line in the Harpers Ferry tunnel, he worked in Lewisburg, so he didn’t know that it existed there

[@cobraman90]

The added free poster they gave out also triggers the quest... The one where players were making it look like such and such at my ass 😂😂

[@FalloutTributeMusic]

Is it me or did they really bumbup the content output in these last 3 years/4 years? I tried Fallout 76 for the last 2,5 weeks or so and I had a feeling that I didnt know much ^^ Only problem I have is constant crashing. Its why I needed to reinstal Fallout 4 for now (Awaiting a new pc....) This quest sounds amazing and I had no clue!

[@ADHDqueenB]

I thought everyone knew Aries was Calvin, I guess not.

[@AshamedTripod2]

I randomly stumbled across these dailies 5 days ago

[@briantalmage2041]

He is Calvin van lowe

[@AnimeShinigami13]

Not Adonis (a mythical man who's basically the ancient greek Giga Chad meme.) It's pronounced "Add-on-ai" even Bathesda pronounces it wrong. According to google an adonais is an elegy, a song intended for the dead. It also means "Master or lord". OMG IT IS HIM!!! CALVIN!!!! I KNEW IT FROM THE VERY FIRST HOLOTAPE!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It's in Aries' speech patterns on the tape!!! Also carver is so innocent!

[@SomethingSomething245]

Aries is my favorite character. And he's super cute.

[@tyronecharizard363]

It’s Aries I was surprised I knew this a while ago

[@floshiba4476]

It's been month i'm stuck at the ending cause the taxidermist secret room won't open

[@junito2899]

What’s the name of the quest? I’m a new level player

[@Deeptidalsilence]

WAIT WHY IS THE SCORTCH BEAST FRIENDLY?!?!?!?!

[@13_Patr]

Can you repeat Vinny's daily quest series or is it completed after the 7 missions?

[@RifleGaming]

Unfortunately no. But you can do the dailies again on another character

[@user-kt3kz7md9j]

Dang already finished this, they literally give you markers how is this secret

[@tommygamba170]

We know I've done it 3 times

[@Jamosite]

I'm confused, I did the ending quest, got I believe a poster. I thought everyone knew about this because it popped up when I was in the area..

[@RifleGaming]

No you have to talk to Vinny 7 different days and do his 7 different daily quests for this to pop up here.

[@Jamosite]

@@RifleGaming I did his quest before, because I wanted what I thought was a rare black cowboy hat, you go in the tunnel the Big Bend, I think it's called riding shotgun or riding side saddle something like that. I guess I did his quests over time.

[@peterclarke7240]

@@Jamosite It's not really a secret, is the thing. Most people find it organically if they follow the usual questlines. "secret" implies you have to stumble onto something, but this is essentially signposted.

ist his verison of click bait.

[@trentonbutler-mccall8349]

hi everyone🎉

[@peterclarke7240]

Sorry, but how is this secret? It's signposted.

[@RifleGaming]

The sign is for a different questline you have to do to be able to start this. Protocol Adonais quest is gotten from doing Vinny's 7 different daily quests, and then you unlock this. This hidden one isn't started from the sheepsquatch sign. Hopefully, that helps clear up any confusion.

[@peterclarke7240]

@@RifleGaming Ah, I see. I was interpreting "hidden" to mean something you stumbled across while just having a random explore.
