Deathclaw Promontory

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

Layout
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

 * A Tri-beam laser rifle (Fallout: New Vegas) next to the body of the dead prospector.
 * Non-faction T-51b power armor and helmet found on a dead prospector.
 * Remnants power armor found on a dead prospector.
 * Multiplas rifle found between the dead prospectors.
 * 3 Deathclaw eggs can be found at the southern end against a cliff. Several additional eggs may be looted off killed deathclaws. If you are having trouble finding them, they are almost due South from the dead prospectors.

Appearances
Deathclaw promontory appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * 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 to the prospector's shack across the river, the orbital laser did 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.
 * Occasionally the bodies are not present. The reason is that corpses spawn on a cycle similar to that of creatures. This can be fixed by: leaving the map cell and returning, waiting several hours in game, or saving and re-loading. Restarting the system will clear the games active memory which can allow the spawn cycle to reset.
 * 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.
 * 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.
