Deathclaw Promontory

 is a location in Fallout: New Vegas; an unmarked area on the east bank of the Colorado River, due east of the Lucky Jim Mine.

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

Notable Loot

 * A Tri-beam laser rifle next to the bodies of the dead prospectors.
 * T-51b power armor found on a dead prospector.
 * Remnants power armor found on a dead prospector.
 * Multiplas rifle found on a dead prospector.
 * 3x Deathclaw eggs can be found at the southern end against a cliff.
 * North of the promontory entrance, near the hoover dam river blockade is a small nest of Lakelurks, they guard a few explosive crates containing C-4 plastic explosives.

The aforementioned prospectors are located in the southeast corner of the promontory.

Enemies
Northern most part of deathclaw promontory: Central part of deathclaw promontory: Southern most part of deathclaw promontory where the corpses are:
 * 2x Deathclaws.
 * 5x Deathclaws.
 * 1x Young deathclaws.
 * 3x Young deathclaws.
 * 2x Deathclaw mothers.
 * Deathclaw alpha
 * 5x Deathclaws.

Probably the easiest way to kill all the deathclaws is to have a suppressed sniper rifle and a relatively high sneak skill. Apply a stealth boy when entering the promontory - once inside, go to the right and climb on top of the cliffs. You can just snipe all the deathclaws without being detected, probably even without applying a second stealth boy if your sneak skill is high enough.

Bugs

 * There is a bug associated with there being no dead bodies to loot. To fix, either save and re-load, or use console commands to gain the armor/weapons. The bodies sometimes spawn if you wander around the promontory.
 * If saving and reloading does not work, try restarting the console.
 * 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. (Confirmed )
 * The game tends to freeze at random in the area.
 * On some rocks, the tips of them may appear see-through when viewed from certain angles.
 * Waiting too long or saving and loading in the area may cause deathclaws to spawn nearby.


 * Upon return, the prospector bodies will be gone if looted.
