Deathclaw Promontory

The deathclaw promontory is an unmarked location in the Mojave Wasteland. It is located on the east bank of the Colorado River, directly east of Lucky Jim Mine and Cliffside Prospector Camp.

Layout
Essentially the only way to get atop the promontory is a dirt path north of the position marked by the picture to the right.

It is a rough, uneven area over a cliff, with a labyrinth of hills, filled with a large number of various types of deathclaws.

Notable loot

 * Remnants power armor (but no helmet) is found on a dead prospector.
 * A suit of T-51b power armor can be found on a second dead prospector.
 * Three deathclaw eggs can be found at the southern end against a cliff.
 * A Multiplas rifle can be found next to one of the dead prospectors.
 * A Tri-beam laser rifle can be found next to the other dead prospector.

Appearances
The deathclaw promontory only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Not all deathclaws in this area may appear when arriving at the location for the first time. The remaining deathclaws will typically re-appear once the player has fast traveled or, notably, when the player loads a save.  The latter may result in the player's death if the save was made while on the promontory itself.  For this reason, it is strongly recommended that at least one save be made (and kept) prior to climbing onto the promontory.
 * Similar to the above bug, the dead prospectors may not appear on the player's initial arrival at the promontory. Saving and reloading, fast-traveling, or waiting for several hours should solve this issue.
 * Sometimes bodies, and other game objects fall through the ground and are in-accessible. The only remedy is to wait for the game to reset the objects in the map cell to their original positions. This requires seventy-three in-game hours spent away from the area, and is unaffected by saving and loading.
 * It is possible for an 'invincible' deathclaw to spawn here. Even when it has lost all HP it still lives and cannot be killed.
 * Using Archimedes II in this area can result in the red targeting lines randomly triangulating all around the area (orbital laser will not discharge either). This was not fixed by saving/reloading. However, upon fast traveling, the orbital laser can discharge, scoring a direct hit on the player, causing serious damage. After several save/loads, the targeting laser glitch remains present whenever this area is visited.
 * Sometimes, after clearing the area, several more deathclaws will all spawn at the same time and in the same area. Sometimes these deathclaws include mother and alpha male deathclaws, even at lower levels.
 * Getting the Remnants power helmet from Silver Peak Mine before going to deathclaw promontory solved above problem. It's a good idea to take the Remnants power helmet with you when you head to the deathclaw promontory, or when returning if you encounter this glitch.
 * Sometimes, the deathclaws will run into the water where the entrance is and will not return to land.
 * In rare instances, deathclaws won't spawn in the area.
 * Much like the first bug mentioned, some deathclaws do not spawn, only young deathclaws and normal deathclaws spawn meaning that alphas and mother Deathclaws do not, Strangely however, this also prevents the two bodies spawning meaning that you cannot loot the contents, However, a short trip back to the lake will make all Deathlaws spawn with the two bodies, however deathclaws you have killed will not respawn.
