Morning Star Cavern

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland. It has two notable enemies: a Den Mother (which is a special stronger version of the Night Stalker). There are also many Young Night Stalkers in this cavern. Inside there is a body of a mercenary and a duffel bag.

Before you even get a chance to enter the cavern you will be greeted by three Night Stalkers. One of them will have both the Night Stalker Tail and Night Stalker Blood availible on the corpse after you kill it. If you have this blood in your inventory the Young Night Stalkers within the cavern will not even bother you. The Den Mother on the otherhand will call your bluff and attack as soon as you are within view.

New players shouldn't fret, a shot gun, or .357 mag should easily defeat the Den Mother and her young.

Layout
The cavern is a single room, crescent shaped. As you walk into the Cavern to your right is a dead end, to the left is a large right-ward arc that will lead to the dead mercenary.

Notable loot

 * Explosives Crate is located outside of the entrance by a pointed Hollowed out Rock that has a Brahmin skull beside it.
 * At the back of the cave there's the corpse of a mercenary with a duffle bag. Inside this bag may be a Lever-action shotgun, the most powerful non-special small caliber shotgun in the game. If you are able to deal with Night Stalkers early in the game, coming here and getting this gun is a big boost early-on. It may instead contain a Sawed-off shotgun (Fallout: New Vegas).
 * Purified Water duffel bag.
 * Night Stalker Blood can be picked from the corpse of the Den Mother (unless you get it outside of the cave from her other companions).
 * A little east of the cavern is a crashed airplane containing one ammo box, which is surrounded by several Radscorpions of various sizes. South-southeast of the plane it the unmarked location Scorpion Burrow.
