Rad%20Resist Upon speaking to Ronnie, she will inform you on the location of a Minutemen armory in the Castle, which is inaccessible due to rubble and debris. You can use a  Workshop to turn the rubble into scrap. Access the workshop and then find the location Ronnie is standing and scrap the rubble next to her. Ronnie will accompany you into the tunnels of the Castle where you must defeat a sentry bot named  Sarge. Ronnie will then open the door, where you will meet the previous leader of the Minutemen. Press the button to open the door to the courtyard.

        When you finally get into the armory, there are shelves with mines and frag grenades. On the top in the back corner of the shelf with grenades, there is a Nuka Grenade

          So, while I was doing this quest, as I was going through the lower bastion tunnels with Ronnie, I stepped on a frag mine and it went off on Ronnie, knocking her out. Her "unconscious" state seems to be sitting on her butt. Well, she never got up! She regenerated her health and would talk to me, but wouldn't get up. This is a problem as you need her to open the door after fighting Sarge. I tested a few things and found a way NOT to fix it. I exited the area and re-entered a few times, which made her closer to the door that she needs to open, but still on her butt. DO NOT DO THIS. Eventually, she'll warp behind the door and stay there, completely inaccessible. What you need to do is get her health all the way back down again, preferably in one hit because if you hit her too many times, she and all the Minutemen will become hostile. I personally surrounded her with 4 frag mines, stepped back, and shot the mines. It did the trick, her health went down, she sat there for a moment, then got back up and resumed as usual! This seems to be a glitch with the animations and doing this resets her animation. Hope this helps!

              Upon exiting the basement with Ronnie, I was suddenly forced into workshop mode. Pressing [esc] exited only momentarily before it auto-opened again. I found that the only way to free myself from workshop mode was to walk outside the build perimeter before pressing [esc]. However, pressing [v] at any time while in the base would instantly engage workshop mode again, recreating the problem.
