In Fallout 3, there are a bunch of Bobblehead dolls scattered about. Finding one will either raise one of your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes by one point or raise one of your skills by ten points.

They’re an awesome bonus to your character, and you can display the ones you’ve found at your house in Megaton. Makes collecting them just a little bit more fun.

You can find a brief list of all the bobbleheads and their locations at Gamespy. You can also see some more in depth info (with screenshots and videos) at GamesRadar.

Unfortunately, neither of them show you a map of where the bobblehead is in the location in question. For example, Gamespy tells you that the Charisma Bobblehead is in the Vault 108 Cloning Labs. That’s nice, I’ve been there, I didn’t see it the first time. It’s extremely dark, and I didn’t want to comb through every inch of the place a second time to find the bobblehead.

GamesRadar has a video of a player going in to get it, but this is hard to follow. I watched the video, tabbed into the game, and I thought I knew where I was going. Nope. Had to watch the video a second time, pausing it every few seconds and following his path to get to the location.

To save you the trouble, here are a couple maps to help out…

Step One: Head to Vault 108

First, go to Vault 108. I didn’t think to take a screenshot of the World Map, but the GamesRadar page does show you where it is on the world map.

It’s in the Northeast quadrant of the map, almost on the eastern border and pretty far up from the downtown area.

Step Two: Head to the Cloning Lab

Once you’re inside, you need to find the cloning lab.

Go into the vault, hang a left, and keep going straight. You’ll need to move around some obstacles, but keep going in the same general direction (that’s South).

Ignore the door to the living quarters that you’ll pass on your right.  You can go back and loot that later – but Charisma is more important!

You’ll eventually see a door with the label “Lab” above it, and it’ll lead to the Cloning Labs.

Go inside.

Step Three: Find the Bobblehead

Now’s the fun part. Find the bobblehead in the labyrinthine cloning lab!

When you enter, follow the hallway down the stairs. At the bottom, the hallway will turn to the right shortly and then back to the left. You’ll see some doors along this main hallway.

Enter the second door on your right. In the back of this room is an open doorway with a First Aid Kit that leads to a medical-looking office. There is a desk in this room with the Charisma bobblehead on it.

Take a look at the local map to the right. That pinpoints the location of the desk with the bobblehead.

Enjoy your charisma!  Oh, and good luck with all the Garys.
