Fire Root Cavern

The Fire Root cavern is a cave located in the Mojave Wasteland and going through it from north to south forms the only direct path to Cottonwood Crater. The north entrance of Fire Root Cavern is located south-east of Searchlight East Gold Mine and south-west of Smith Mesa Prospector Camp.

Layout
The cavern itself consists of one large room with a radioactive pool and an adjoining corridor. There are a few fire geckos inside, including the legendary fire gecko. In the corner where the passage goes down to the water is an evil gnome statue under a plant leaf. There are also a dufflebag with some ammunition and minor loot and a combat helmet, when you exit the corridor that goes down to the Pool area, go left and you will see a skeleton with the dufflebag next to it and the combat helmet close by.

Notable loot

 * Hollowed-out rock on left at the beginning of the small narrow path to the entrance to Fire Root Cavern (sometimes contains only scrap metal).
 * Evil gnome: as you enter (from Fire Root cavern marker) the big room just follow the ledge on the left side, then take to the left and it should be in the T-junction.
 * Combat helmet: as you enter the pool area, look to your left and you should see a skeleton with a Duffle bag and the combat helmet right next to it.
 * Fat Man: after you exit the cavern with the pools of radioactive water (Cottonwood Crater) you will find a prospector body with lots of loot.
