The current Fallout 4 update, released on April 25, 2024, has added many new items, quests, and activities for players. Players may have noticed that one thing that was added was the Creation Club quests, and one quest is called “Speak of the Devil”. Here's how you can complete that quest and learn about The Black Devil, who has helped the Community for years.
How to start and complete 'Speak of the Devil' in Fallout 4
This quest is part of the current generation update, so you need to make sure you have it downloaded to start it. If you have it downloaded, you can go ahead and jump into the game, and the quest will automatically start for you. If it doesn't start automatically, you may need to be at a higher level before you can actually complete it. If this is the case, just play the game a bit, and you'll eventually unlock it. You can check your search log to select it and learn more about the search.
Once you've started the search, you'll want to go to the Wattz Consumer Electronics building to explore the story of The Black Devil. You will find a Holotape about The Black Devil and a note on a table under a poster of the hero. The note says that the writer will be looking for The Black Devil, someone who used to kill raiders when called upon. To summon him, local relay towers would have to play certain songs on the radio, letting him know he was needed.
Finding Richie and Connie
You will want to go to Relay tower 0MC-810 (which is nearby). There, you'll find a group of Enclave Soldiers and Richie's body. After killing enemies, loot the “AM 810 Music Catalog” from Richie and read his note. He will mention that Connie left for the Regional Offices of BADTFL with the other music catalog. Switch to the terminal, extend the satellites (this will take a moment), and then plug in the Holotape catalog you got out Richie. From there, you will need to select the option to transfer the song “Stars and Stripes Forever” to the terminal.
Head to the Regional Offices of BADTFL (again, this is close) and enter the building. Once inside, you'll find some Enclave Soldiers scattered around that you'll need to kill. If you go to the back of the building where the interrogation rooms are (you'll find some soldiers and a dog outside the rooms), you'll find Connie's body in one.

How to unlock Connie's Holotape
On the table near Connie's body is the Holotape, but the device is locked. This means you will either need to find the password or hack it. If you can't hack it, look at the note on the table called “Connie's Confession,” which will contain the words “Check the wall”. Looking behind Connie, you'll find a piece of paper with his password on it, allowing you to access the Holotape and the next song.
The quest will now prompt you to go to the Relay tower 00SC-527, which is quite close to the area you are at now. Once there, insert the Holotape, extend the satellites, and then transfer the file to “America the Beautiful.” This will cause the song to come over the radio and allow you to reach the next area.
Reaching The Black Devil's HQ
The next stop in the search is the Boston Police Rationing Site, which is very close to the Relay Tower. To get in, jump on the train and use it and the containers to jump around the building until you reach an open door on the roof. Once inside, you will find a door labeled “Mass Pike Tunnel,” which is where you want to go.
After entering the tunnel, follow it until you come to a dead end. On the left, you will see an entrance to a room where you can find The Black Devil's HQ. If you look into the room, you will find the body of Sgt. John Reise, a soldier stationed at the location and The Black Devil himself. Activate the radio in the room, which will open the door blocking the Power Armor. While turning on the radio ends the quest, you will get a very short quest titled “Enclave Radio” as soon as this quest is finished.
How to complete the quest “Enclave Radio” in Fallout 4
To complete this final step of The Black Devil's story, approach the Devil's Terminal into the room and read the entry. You will learn that he was originally in The Enclave and left to hunt down those he used to call friends. He will then ask you to turn off the music broadcasts for the final time and take his Power Armor (a set of X-02 Power Armor) to finish what he started: destroy anyone who is part of The Enclave.
You can either turn off the radio broadcasts or let it play. If you disable it, you'll unlock a safe in the room that gives you the “X-02 Devil's Inferno” mod for his Power Armor. If left on, you will be able to listen to it on the radio. No matter what you choose, some Enclave Soldiers will ambush you, forcing you to kill them. Once done, you can take on The Black Devil's mission to destroy The Enclave.
