Make your way to The Ark & Dove Cathedral, which is located to the far north of Calvert Mansion.  Speak with one of the tribals through the intercom and they’ll tell you that you need to collect seeds from a giant Punga plant located on the far west of Point Lookout.  Your quest marker leads you to the entrance of the Sacred Bog, a mini map on its own.

The Sacred Bog:

The Sacred Bog is an entirely new map, and the swampy mist might make it difficult to see which direction you’re supposed to go. This video shows you the exact way, deals with all enemies, and reveals how to get out of the bog alive and well after an unpleasant surprise!

Travel through the small cave and you’ll be inside the Sacred Bog.  Exit the small canyon and explore your left to find two [PUNGA FRUIT], as well as a few Mirelurks.  If you want to stock up on some Mirelurk Food, check the island right in front of you for Mirelurk Egg Clutches, as well as the breeding area on the southwest.  Wade through the northern river afterwards.

After dispatching two more Mirelurks, loot three [WILD PUNGA FRUIT] from the plants to the west, then head up the hill instead of wading further through the river.  You’ll soon encounter another Swamplurk nearby the body of a Smuggler.  Check the loot nearby the small wooden box to find a sole [STIMPAK].

At the end of the trail, continue northeast and carefully tread through the passage with a burning campfire.  Be aware of three Bear Traps lying in this path and disarm them as you proceed to the next section of the Sacred Bog.

This looks like a more open-ended area, but as we’ll all find out some time in our lives, looks can be deceiving.  The western isles hold around three [WILD PUNGA FRUIT] and some Mirelurk Egg Clutches, but that’s it.  Stay on the trail and dispatch Mirelurks as you continue over a hill to the southeast.

Grab two more [WILD PUNGA FRUIT] from your left as you descend the hill and waste a two more Swamplurks as you wade through another swampy area.  There’s not a whole lot to this swamp either, and you can find two more [WILD PUNGA FRUIT] on the right side of the river.  At the end of the river you’ll find the Punga Plant you’ve been looking for, along with a grand total of 40 [WILD PUNGA FRUIT] Plants scattered over the place.  Activate the Punga Seed Pods to acquire the [PUNGA SEEDS], and the plant will spray a hallucinogenic in your face.

Make your way out of the Sacred Bog while tripping out of your mind.  You’ll “find” Schmault-Tec Bobbleheads, see a red transparant saw, exploding Nuka Cola Quantum Bottles, Ghostly Ghouls, a needle, your mom and several bodies.  At the end, talk to Mister Break (who looks like Burke from Megaton) and the trip ends.

Back on the world map of Point Lookout you may be attacked be enemies that have been lurking around the exit (such as Bloatflies).  Dispose of them and loot the [FIRST AID BOX] and [SACK] next to the entrance before fast travelling back to the Cathedral.  Check back with the intercom and the tribal Jimson welcomes you in the courtyard. 

The quest now ends and you receive the Punga Power! Perk, which improves the radiation decrease from eating Punga Fruits.  The improvement is considerable:

Wild Punga normally reduces Rad -1; With the perk it’s -5. Refined Punga normally reduces Rad -2; With the perk it’s -15!

Tip: There are many Wild and Refined Punga Fruits literally ripe for the taking in the courtyard.  Talk to the Tribal named Croatoa and ask him about his secret.  If you pass the speech challenge (or have the Child at Heart perk) he’ll give you the [FERTILIZER SHOVEL].

Enter the church and look for a red-haired girl called Nadine.  This is the girl whose mom was looking for and told you to search for her.  She can remove your scar, give you more information about the tribals and Jackson, and even gives you a key.  There are a ton of Refined Punga Fruits in here as well, and you can find [RADAWAY x2], a [RAD-X] and a [STEALTH BOY] on the desk at the end of the church.
