Organ Cave is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: Atlantic City update part one, Boardwalk Paradise. It is a cavern complex with three entrances, currently occupied by the Cult of the Mothman.

Background[]

Organ Cave was reportedly given its name due to a stone formation inside resembling a pipe organ. At some point, a geology student at the Vault-Tec University named Cyrus Kingdom heard rumors of people discovering blood red ground water from the area. Cyrus decided to investigate, but was trapped inside due to a cave in.^[1]

Layout[]

There are three entrances to the cave system: Organ Cave West, Organ Cave North, and Organ Cave South. No eastern entrance exists. The west entrance is within the billboard junk camp on Route 88, north of the Blue Ridge Bunkhouse. The north entrance is directly north of Vault 76 and east of Settler's Ridge. The south entrance is north of Forward Station Tango and east of Blue Ridge Bunkhouse.

Notable loot[]

• Geologist's note - Note, on a rock next to a skeleton. It is past the room with the one large red waterfall (not the central chamber). Walking through the water to the southwest, go into the corridor where the large shadow is on the wall, it will be in the cave path to the left (heading southeast). Alternatively, on the upper levels of the waterfall room, go left (south) of the spool and head down the cave path.
• Potential bobblehead - In the room with one large red waterfall, makeshift docks and a raft (not the central chamber). It is on the upper level, next to a spool.

Notes[]

The eye of a metroman sculpture can be seen through a crevice behind some vines in a tunnel.

Appearances[]

Organ Cave appears only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: Atlantic City update.

Behind the scenes[]

• Organ Cave is a real cave system in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was popularly known as the place where the fossils of the Megalonyx ground sloths were purportedly discovered, which inspired the inclusion of mega sloths in Fallout 76. Newer evidence has suggested the fossils were actually found in Monroe County, West Virginia.
• Developer Matt Thomas worked as a level designer on Organ Cave.^{[Non-game 1]}
• When Organ Cave's west entrance was being added in development, at one point the adjacent billboard junk camp was being considered for a block on player CAMPs, which is standard for marked locations. However, the team knew that the area was a popular spot for player CAMPs and opened it back up before the release of the update. Matt Thomas said that, retrospectively, it seemed to have been the right move to not block off the area from builds.^{[Non-game 1]}
