“You may not be so brave when you face the Ritual of the Mother Seed. Stronger souls than you have attempted it and lost their minds. Venture west to the great bog, and within you shall find the mother of all Punga Fruit. She stands taller than a man, and her vines guide our future. Collect her seeds, and kneel before her wisdom. Only then will you be ready to enter these sacred halls.”— Jimson
The Mother Punga is a large Punga Fruit growing in Point Lookout in the Fallout 3 DLC Point Lookout.
Background[edit]
The Mother Punga grows among other regularly sized punga plants at the end of the Sacred Bog. Seeds can be harvested from the plant, at which point pollen is released, causing the Lone Wanderer to begin experiencing hallucinations.[1][Pub 1]
Publications[edit]
“This is an enormous “seed,” part of a huge wild bloom of the Punga fruit. The seeds nestle on a pod in the recessed part of the fruit. The plant shudders and releases a puff of pollen, said to cause vivid hallucinations.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

This cathedral, named after the two sailing ships landing in Maryland to establish the English colony in 1633, is now the main hideout for the Tribals, a cult group that believes in the power of the Punga plant. They are generally docile, unless their leader—Professor Calvert—orders them to attack. The cathedral grounds and gate are inaccessible until you've completed the Ritual of Mother Punga, during Main Quest: Walking with Spirits."
