Whether you want to reach the max level in Intelligence, collect every unique item, or simply because you neglected to place any points in the stat, tracking down this Bobblehead proves easy enough if you have the firepower for Downtown Boston. Here is where to find the Intelligence Bobblehead in Fallout 4!
How to Get the Intelligence Bobblehead in Fallout 4
You can score the Intelligence Bobblehead in Fallout 4 by visiting the Boston Public Library in Downtown Boston, as shown on the map below, and navigating the crumbling structure until you find the control room on the Northwest corner. However, it’s protected by a small horde of Protectron and Sentry Turrets, so be wary as you enter the room.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to fight through the entire library, you can head around the side and pick the Advanced Lock to access the room in question. You will still have to fight the robotic guard dogs, but skip over the rest of the building’s interior and follow a straight path to the control room door ahead.
Once inside the control room, jump over the railing or take the stairs (boring!), and you’ll find the Intelligence Bobblehead sitting comfortably atop the controls in the center of the room at the rear.

What Does the Intelligence Bobblehead Do in Fallout 4?
Like all other Vault-Tec Bobbleheads in Fallout 4, the Intelligence Bobblehead provides a permanent +1 to your stat. In this case, Intelligence. It’s a valuable buff for those who may not wish to spend too many points on Intelligence so that they may focus on Strength or Charisma.
| Effects | Value | Weight | Item ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| +1 Intelligence | 300 | 0 | 00178B58 |
If you don’t wish to fight through the robots, Super Mutants, and Gunners in and around the Boston Public Library — hey, I totally understand — then you can use console commands to spawn the Intelligence Bobblehead. For that:
- Open your game’s console (~)
- Type “player.additem [Item ID] 1”
- Hit “Enter”
Once done, you’ll have a single Intelligence Bobblehead in your inventory.
