Arthur Maxson (2024)

FAQs

Is Arthur Maxson the last Maxson? ›

Elder Arthur Maxson (Registration MX-001E) is the last descendant of the Maxson lineage. He served as a squire in the Citadel in 2277 in Fallout 3 and became the supreme commander of the East Coast chapter of the Brotherhood in 2287, during the events of Fallout 4.

The only way to obtain the battlecoat is to kill Maxson and take it from his body.

In the final game, killing Elder Maxson will result in the Sole Survivor being declared an enemy to the Brotherhood of Steel, and Danse goes hostile as if he was still allied with the Brotherhood.

Appearances. Roger Maxson is mentioned in Fallout, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, as well as Fallout 76 (which introduced his recorded voice) and its updates Steel Dawn and Steel Reign.

At 13, he killed a deathclaw and received a scar on his face. He killed the super mutant leader named Shephard at the age of 15, who was trying to reorganize the remnants of the Capital Wasteland super mutant infestation.

Elder Maxson appears as a squire and he is nothing more than a young child.

You have to kill Elder Maxson and take the Final Judgment from him, but unfortunately, it's often too difficult to find his body in a sea of others, so it's a difficult weapon to get.

Arthur Maxson does use power armor. If the Sole Survivor sides with the Institute during the quest Airship Down, Arthur Maxon will emerge from the crashed Prydwen in his own unique Elder T-60 series power armor and with his unique Gatling laser. He wears it when he's going into battle.

In the Institute's records, Danse's model is listed as “missing,” meaning that Danse was likely a rescued synth. Given this, most of the memories of his childhood were likely fabricated. The memories he actually experienced probably began with him meeting Cutler and joining the Brotherhood of Steel.

He is the leader of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel. He serves as the main antagonist if the Sole Survivor sides with the Institute, the secondary antagonist if the Sole Survivor sides with the Railroad and optional major antagonist if the Sole Survivor sides with the Minuteman.

Should I give Liam the password? ›

Give Liam The Password

Once the password is safely in his hands, feel free to ignore him and continue on with the mission, as there is no more use for him, and no need to ask him any questions that may confuse him and his loyalties to freeing Synths, so simply do what he asks which is to update Z1-14 about the plan.

Letting Danse live requires passing a speech check. During the conversation with the Synth, you can refuse to kill him. Then, you get three dialog options ("Maxson's Wrong," "Losing A Friend," and "Coward's Way Out") to try to persuade your friend to stay alive.

Speaking with DiMA, you can forgive him and cover up his crime, or try to encourage him to turn himself in (or just do it anyway) If you help him, you'll gain a unique Synth Armor - Acadia's Shield - and start the path to the ending where peace can be achieved via the Reformation quest.

The Brotherhood questline will then proceed with Diamond City's Professor Scara rather than Doctor Li. Professor Scara can be acquired only if Doctor Li is dead and/or the Institute is hostile to the player, no matter how antagonistic the conversation with Doctor Li.

Maxson is also the direct descendant of Roger Maxson, the founder of the BoS. That's probably why Beth made him so old school Brotherhood, even despite being raised by Lyons and his chapter.

After the end of Fallout 3, both Elder Lyons and Sarah Lyons were killed and then Maxson (who was 16) was made Elder by the West Coast Elders. He also brought the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts back into the main fold. hope this helps!
