So errm crazy amount of death claws in a really random spot

Post » Wed Aug 26, 2009 12:23 pm

Well as the title suggests I laughed when i found this. I was travelling down the river, very bored, and i saw a steep-ish slope/path on the other side of the river, and i thought WOW i have never seen this before, as i advanced up the slope 8-9 red markers appeared on my compass. As i came over the lip of the hill i thought...[censored].
there before me was about 10 deathclaws, i quickly unleashed my anti material rifle and dispatched them. I decided to continue into the small piece of land. I noticed this land had very large amounts of xander root and broc flower. As i went over the next pile of rock, then i thought... [censored] i mean proper [censored].
there i saw 17 red markers on my compass, so i dropped into sneak and crawled closer. Soon my status went from hidden to DANGER, all of them including the two mother deathclaws charged at me. I quickly loaded my anti material with JSP rounds and put stimpacks on hotkey. Surprisingly i took little damage and soon dispatched them, as they glitched on a rock.

I really enjoyed finding this place, it was mad as it was completely random. It had a vast supply of deathclaw eggs, xander root and broc flower. Did it have anything else???

(it's directly east of Primm across the big river)

There is power armor there.
Might disappear since you've already visited the place once though. (bug)

I think that it is just the bodies despawning.

The bodies are equipped with the armor no?

Indeed they are, hence them despawning after 72 hours, or whatever the reset time is.

ok it's all good. I fast traveled out the area/cell and waited 72 hours. When i went back, only the death-claws around the prospector's bodies spawned. I got the armour and weapons then went to somewhere else to get the helmet :)

Toward the back of the promontory. There's a path that leads from the back/top down to the left. The bodies are up against some rocks.

I had already read about this the first time I found it but I was still MORE than surprised when all the red dots showed up and the first DC was staring me in the face.

What does this have to do with DLC? I don't want to be mean or anything like that but I think this should be moved.

also, if you cross the river from Cottonwood cove (or down a bit) there is a cave with lots of Mirelirks and lots of booty (and I mean like pirate booty, not shake-yer-booty)

Yeah dude its real simple go in, using a stealth boy,once your up the hill climb on the rocks and breakout the Anti material rifle use armor piercing rounds (make sure your hidden) one shot usually takes down an advlt deathclaw any way keep shooting till you get most of em then clear out any leftovers using a multiplas rifle with max charge ammo course you can use whatever but thats what i recomend anyway you don't get much except for some cards,power armor and a multiplas rifle don't forget to check the deathclaw corpse's for hands and eggs esp the eggs those'll fetch you up to 400 caps a pop

Not random, its the Deathclaw Promontory. Its a helluva place to clear out. I had a lot of fun doing it. And there is Enclave Remnants Power Armor there.
