To get the Sanctuary Quest, you need to talk to Sturges, who will ask if you’re willing to do some work, and if you agree to help, he will offer a series of four tasks to complete for the settlement: providing beds, water, food, and finally defenses for the people of Sanctuary. The quest is a crucial part of establishing a thriving settlement in the game, and completing these tasks will help you attract more setters to Sanctuary and make it a safe and prosperous home for them.
