Mother Jago is a key character in Atomfall who helps you escape the quarantine zone. However, her idea of escape is unique—rather than a physical escape, she offers a spiritual one from the region. The game features six endings based on six characters: Mother Jago, Joyce Tanner, a mysterious telephone caller, Captain Sims, Dr. Garrow, and Dr. Alan Holder.
While Mother Jago’s approach is distinctive, it doesn’t reveal much about the storyline, leaving the deeper secrets of Interchange and Oberon unclear. So, to fully explore the narrative and uncover the secrets behind the fictional Windscale disaster, it's best to follow Dr. Garrow and Dr. Alan Holder’s approach.
We cover Mother Jago’s missions and objectives to help you escape in Atomfall.

Mother Jago's main mission walkthrough in Atomfall
Find Mother Jago
Before starting Mother Jago’s path, find her in Casterfell Woods, at The Old Mine (map coordinates: 27.2 E, 92.2 N), located on the far northeast edge of the region.

Brief Introduction to Atomfall
The game features four major regions (excluding The Interchange): Slatten Dale, Wyndham Village, Skethermoor, and Casterfell Woods. There are no predefined objectives, so gather clues, interact with people, and uncover information yourself.
Your journey begins in the Derelict Bunker. Upon exiting, you enter Slatten Dale, where your primary goal is to investigate the Interchange and ultimately escape the quarantine zone. Several clues will lead you to Mother Jago, but if you prefer a direct approach, head to her location using the coordinates above.
Retrieve Mother Jago’s Herbalism Book
Upon meeting her, she will ask you to recover her herbalism book, which was taken by the druids to their castle named Castle Ruins (coordinates: 19.6 E, 83.7 N) in the southwestern part of the region.

Steps to retrieve the book:
- Defeat or avoid the enemies and proceed up the hill to the castle door.
- Inside, go left to the kitchen. Near a lit candle, find and collect the Castle Key.
- Head to the main dining hall, where a massive chair sits in front of a fireplace.
- To the right of the fireplace, use the Castle Key to unlock a hidden chamber.
- Inside, locate the library on the right side. On the center table, behind several candles, you’ll find the herbalism book.
- Also, pick up the Strange Tonic recipe from the study table.
Now, return the book to Mother Jago. She will ask you to believe in Oberon and enhance the voice in your head by making an offering at a worship statue.
Deliver the offering
To make the offering, head to the Speaking Cave, located at map coordinates 23.0 E, 85.4 N. Once inside, the druids won’t attack you if you have the offering. Proceed to find a large, tree-branched statue, where you can place the offering below it.

Afterward, return to Mother Jago, who will wait just outside the cave. She will then ask you to retrieve a Growth Stimulant from the Medical Tunnels.
Collect the Signal Redirector
Before heading to the Medical Tunnels, it’s a good idea to collect the Signal Redirector and activate the Interchange. The Signal Redirector can be found in two locations: Windfall Crate and Skethermoor Prison.

The best approach is to cooperate with Captain Sims in Wyndham Village. Assist him by reporting unusual activities going around the village like the St. Katherine’s Church murder, and he’ll trust you. He will then ask you to head to Skethermoor Prison to retrieve information from Dr. Garrow. Once there, interact with Dr. Garrow and then head to the north side to find a room called the Security Room. On a shelf, you’ll find the Signal Redirector.
Activate the Interchange and open the entrance to the Windscale plant
To activate The Interchange, you need four Atomic Batteries. Here are some ways to obtain them:
Atomic Battery locations:
- Defeat Robots – All robots carry Atomic Batteries (tough enemies).
- Trade with Molly (Slatten Dale) – Exchange for a battery or kill her.
- Solve St. Katherine’s Church Murder Mystery – Receive a chest key leading to a battery. Alternatively, kill the Vicar for the key.
- Find a Broken Robot (Skethermoor) – Near Nora’s Camp (41.2 E, 78.2 N).
- Trade with Nora (Skethermoor) – Exchange or kill her.
- Greenhouse Landmark (Vehicle Storage Bunker) – Find the Storage Room Keycard on a bunk bed and unlock a battery storage room.

Steps to activate the Interchange
Once you have the batteries, head to the Interchange entrance in Slatten Dale (31.0 E, 77.8 N). Enter the Central Processor room to find another Atomic Battery. Insert it into the terminal to power the Interchange bootstrap.

Next, activate all four data centers:
- Slatten Dale Entrance: Charlie & Delta Data Centers
- Skethermoor Entrance: Alpha Data Center
- Wyndham Village Entrance: Bravo Data Center
Afterward, head to the Central Processor room and redirect the power using the Signal Redirector. Finally, pull the lever to activate the Interchange, opening the Windscale plant.
Retrieve the Growth Stimulant from the Medical Tunnel
Now, head to the Medical Tunnel. To access it, head to the ground section of the Interchange. Use the Signal Redirector to disable the wall turrets and ignore the robots as you head northwest. You’ll come across a tunnel filled with blue clouds that drain health. Craft and drink a Strange Tonic and then proceed through the tunnel to find the Growth Serum next to a dead scientist at the end of the tunnel.

Once you have the Growth Serum, proceed to the Windscale plant. Be cautious, as you’ll encounter infected enemies and ferals. It’s best to drink another Strange Tonic here. Continue until you reach a massive door leading to the Oberon Digsite. On the left side, you’ll find a building; head inside and navigate through to find an exit to the Oberon Site.

Feed the Growth Stimulant to Oberon
Inside, you’ll find a Fire Safety Fluid Input terminal. Insert the Growth Serum and proceed to the Digsite. Beware of robots along the way and destroy them. Locate two fire safety valves and turn them on. Return to the building and head to the control room to pull the Fire Safety System lever.

Once you’ve done this, the voice in your head will direct you to return to the Castle Ruins. Inside, head to the depths of the castle, where you’ll find a pit. Jump into it to complete the mission and become one with the earth, as the belief goes.
