With the threat neutralized, the Sole Survivor can talk to the settler from before to receive thanks and a reward of ~100 caps, as well as ownership of the settlement (if it was not already owned). Unmarked enemies do not need to be killed to complete the quest. To complete the objective, the Sole Survivor must travel to the ghoul hideout and eliminate the marked feral ghoul. The settler will point the Sole Survivor to the ghouls' hideout and ask that they be eliminated for the safety of the settlement. To proceed with the quest the Sole Survivor must travel to the settlement and talk to their leader, who will give the details: a large group of feral ghouls has settled in nearby. Alternatively, the quest may be obtained directly from a settler even if the Sole Survivor has not joined the Minutemen (this occurs more frequently at unowned settlements). The Sole Survivor is informed that an allied settlement is having trouble with some feral ghouls, and is asked to help the settlement deal with them. After joining the Minutemen, this quest can be periodically obtained when talking to Preston Garvey or listening to Radio Freedom.
