Walking with Spirits is a Fallout 3 quest and achievement and trophy that is added to the game with the Point Lookout add-on.

After the Lone Wanderer assists Desmond in defending the Calvert Mansion from tribals, Mr. Lockheart's next request is to infiltrate the Ark & Dove cathedral to the north (the tribals' base of operations) to discover the reasoning behind their attacks. Although the cathedral gates are locked and seemingly abandoned, a guard sees the Lone Wanderer from a distance and speaks to them via an intercom. Being snide to him will break his concentration and make him drop his shamanistic attitude long enough to issue a scolding. Although he says that the tribals don't "just take any recruit," he sends the Lone Wanderer to the rite of initiation without even a face-to-face meeting. The next task is to venture out west into the Sacred Bog Entrance and take part in the Ritual of the Mother Seed.

Inside the bog, many mirelurks (and possibly swamplurks depending on character level) appear. At the final grove, the Mother Punga and its purple seeds will be ready for the taking. Once the Mother Punga is activated, it will no longer be possible to pick anything up until the punga effects wear off. Taking the seeds of the plant causes an incapacitating gas to spray out from the fruit.

The Lone Wanderer then awakens to a psychedelic hallucination. Since the Mother Punga is found at a dead end, the only option is for the player to go back the way they came. On the way back, giant bobbleheads, called "Schmault-Tec bubbleheads" (fake versions of Vault-Tec bobbleheads) appear, none of which can actually be added to the player character's inventory. Cryptic messages are written on them, ranging from expressing the character's inner doubts and fears to making fun of their misfortunes. The hallucinations encompass the Lone Wanderer's experiences in a cryptic fashion (such as Nuka Cola Quantum from the Nuka Cola Challenge, or a Megaton Bomb from The Power of the Atom).

The first hallucination is a large red translucent bonesaw, which appears to be randomly sawing into the ground. Next will be Nuka-Cola Quantums that make baby sounds when they explode. After this, there will be dolls on poles that appear to be waving, or perhaps pointing the way ahead. There will also be silver needles sewing stitches into the ground.

A violin plays in the background near any of the several trees that have "grown" into the shape of the instrument. Ghost ghouls will attack (which won't cause damage, and which may or may not even be visible). Journeying through an upside-down swamp leads to Catherine's skeleton, labeled "Mom," upon an operating table surrounded by party balloons, displaying the cruel point that it was giving birth that caused her death.

Further on, there are several dead bodies of various people from the Capital Wasteland that disintegrate when searched, including Lucas Simms (floating inside the rocks between and to the left of Amata and the settler), Moira Brown, Amata, Elder Lyons, and an unnamed settler. When interacted with they disappear; they can, however, be picked up and moved around.

Last up is a larger version of the Megaton bomb with a character similar to Mister Burke named "Mister Break" standing in front of it. In the background behind the bomb, the Washington Monument can be seen. In Tobar's voice he says, "Congratulations, my boy (or "my dear" for a female character), you are going to pull through and everything will be right as rain." When spoken to, he will say, "No, no. Don't try to get up yet. You'll only hurt yourself." The bomb then "explodes," shaking the screen and controller but without dealing actual damage, and the scene cuts to the front of the Sacred Bog, the hallucination having ended.
