Dangerous Minds

Fast-travel to Goodneighbor and enter The Memory Den.

Speak with Irma, then head downstairs to meet Doctor Amari.

Explain your needs to Doctor Amari and give her the brain piece.

Ask about Nick's compatibility; Amari will attempt to extract memories but they are encoded.

Amari proposes using two synchronized brains to bypass encryption. Agree to get into the pod.

Before entering the pod, loot the area. You can find a copy of Robco Fun, which includes the Grognak the Barbarian holotape game.

Enter the pod to begin the memory dive.

Follow the purple brain synapses to the first memory. Press [X] (PS4) or [A] (Xbox One) on any character to access Kellogg's thoughts.

Observe the first memory: Kellogg as a young boy in a rough home. You can click on objects like the door or people for Kellogg's thoughts.

Continue through the synapses to Kellogg's first "family life" memory. Note the baby.

Proceed to the third memory, which involves Kellogg taking vengeance.

Move to the fourth memory to see Kellogg's new life, commenting on the bar, wastelanders, and Kellogg himself.

Reach the fifth memory: Kellogg's first encounter with the Institute. Watch until the end.

In the sixth memory, listen to commentary from Kellogg, Institute Scientists, the Cryopod, yourself ("Backup Subject"), and your wife/son ("Primary Subject").

In the final memory, see Kellogg in Diamond City with a grown Shaun. This memory reveals why the Institute is hard to find and provides a lead: Brian Virgil has escaped to The Glowing Sea.

Inspect the TV to exit the memory pod.

Doctor Amari will brief you on the next steps: finding Brian Virgil in the highly irradiated Glowing Sea. She suggests a Radiation Suit and chems, or Power Armor.

The quest "Dangerous Minds" is now complete. The next main story quest, "The Glowing Sea", will unlock.

Head upstairs to talk to Nick Valentine. Decide whether to bring him along on your next journey.
