The main workshop, along with the radio tower, is located in the center of the island.

The north side of the island contains several crafting stations in a small shed across from the destroyed mansion. The island has several buildings scattered across it, consisting of mostly shacks and ruined houses. Spectacle Island can only be reached by swimming or by walking across the seabed in power armor. Due to a bug, though, the wild razorgrain cannot be harvested unless scrapped. Spectacle Island has at least one specimen of all the wild strains of common plants ( corn, tato, razorgrain, gourd, wild mutfruit, melon, tarberry). The workshop will then unlock, and one will be able to build at any point on the island. It is not necessary to kill the queen, as she is affected by this pulse as well. After a few seconds, this will send a sonic pulse that will drive all remaining mirelurks to the shores of the island. To finish the settlement unlocking process, one must return and flip the circuit breaker on the radio tower. Once the circuit breaker aboard the ship is turned on, it will cause the screen to shake, and a mirelurk queen and several other leveled mirelurks will emerge. If the circuit breaker aboard the ship is activated before the player goes to the tower, and/or before the player later returns to the ship for further exploration, bugs may be triggered (see below). The player must then go to the partially submerged boat to the south and flip the switch on the circuit breaker. To unlock the island for use as a settlement, the Sole Survivor must first go to the metal shack with the radio tower at the center of the island on top of a hill. Any other raiders looted the area and left, allowing the mirelurks to return. The raiders apparently disabled the pulse beacon, and one was killed by either Randy (whose body is found near the raider corpse on the south end of the island) or the mirelurks soon after. The appearance of a raider on the island suggests the settlers fled or were killed by raiders or mirelurks. The beacon is represented by a structure similar to a siren or radio antenna connected by a long wire to a partially sunken ship, as the ship's generator room is still operational and provides power for the beacon. Īfter the Great War, the original settlers on the island had constructed a basic settlement with a sonar pulse beacon that released a high-pitched sonic pulse capable of repulsing or killing mirelurks. A mansion was built on the northwest shore of the island. It was once home to an eccentric millionaire with dreams of his own private island paradise.

Spectacle Island is an island on the coast southeast of Boston, near Warwick homestead.
