Bleed Me Dry

 is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
When you enter The Thorn, you'll meet a woman named Red Lucy. Through dialogue, you can ask what to do to help. Red Lucy will tell you to collect various eggs from different creatures. The further the quest goes along, the more difficult the eggs are to obtain.

You'll start off finding giant mantis eggs, then eggs from radscorpions, fire geckos, nightstalkers, cazadors, and finally deathclaws. The eggs in this quest will show up as a pile, an object to be interacted with instead of taken. You do not need to pick up eggs found on the creatures, as the eggs picked up at the mounds are quest/non-trade items. Each part of the quest is rewarded with caps, increasing as you progress. With each reward, there is a progressively higher Barter check to increase your payment. You can refuse caps for karma instead, but this has no effect on the quest as a whole, other than the lack of money.

Detailed walkthrough
Red Lucy is looking for a "hunter" to look for new creatures for the Thorn and also for that hunter to sexually please her. She will send you on a series of quests to find eggs of different creatures.

Mantis
Your first assignment is to acquire 12 giant mantis eggs. Lucy suggests you go to Vault 22, though this is not necessary if you've been stockpiling creature eggs and already have enough. While in the Vault, be careful of the spore carriers and spore plants. In order to get to the eggs on level three, you must locate the cave door keycard in the common area. It is on a shelf in the first bedroom on the left. After taking the eggs, you will need to present them to Red Lucy back at The Thorn. You will receive 200 caps, and there will be a Barter challenge (50 Barter to pass) to get her to pay you 300 instead. You have to ask her what to do next to unlock the next part of the quest.

Radscorpion
The next part is to collect radscorpion eggs near Goodsprings Cemetery. There will be at least 4-6 radscorpions there. (The majority will be giant radscorpions.) As radscorpion eggs don't seem to exist outside of the pile of radscorpion eggs created for this quest, you'll have to travel to the indicated location on your map. Looking down from the hill that houses Goodsprings Cemetery, the egg clutch is practically due east, and can be seen through a long range scope. Just like before, after collecting the eggs, you will bring them back to Red Lucy for your reward caps and another barter challenge (60 barter to pass) to get her to pay you more. Like before you need to ask her what to do next. Not asking for a reward gives you a hunting rifle and a small amount of .308 rounds.

Fire Gecko
Then, she will tell you to go search the Ireteba Peaks for fire gecko eggs, specifically at Bootjack cavern. (The location is not a map marked location.) As with the assignment to get mantis eggs, if you happen to have 12 fire gecko eggs stockpiled somewhere, you can turn those in instead of heading to the suggested destination. Fast travel to Clark Field, it will be the easiest route. (If you get attacked by golden geckos when you fast travel there, Wrecked Highwayman or Snyder Prospector Camp also provide easy, relatively short routes.) Once inside the cave, you will have to defeat approximately 10-12 fire geckos. A pile of fire gecko eggs can also be located in the cave. After receiving the eggs, take them back to Red Lucy for more caps and another Barter (70 to pass) challenge.

Nightstalker
The searching gets tougher as your next challenge will be nightstalker eggs. You will need to go to Bloodborne Cave. After entering the cave, make a left and drop down to the lower level. Ahead is a camp fire surrounded by skeletons. The pile of nightstalker eggs can be found just beyond that. If you have the Animal Friend perk, you can just waltz right in and take the eggs without firing a shot - watch out for fire geckos when you come out though. The cave also has a notable supply cache which players may wish to investigate before they leave To get to this after getting the eggs just keep following the trail and there will be a gate on your left, the gate has  a very hard lock pick check (if you do not have the required skill level to pick the lock, there is a key on the camp fire that opens the gate) and a tripwire directly below which will drop several grenade bouquets on top of you. the trunk on the inside has an average lock and 7650 caps plus some other minor loot inside it. The legendary night stalker is also present here so be on guard if you do not have the animal friend perk. For more details visit the Bloodborne Cave article. After leaving return to Red Lucy. She gives 1000 caps if you pass a Barter speech (80 Barter to pass) challenge. If you decline payment, you will receive a hunting revolver and some ammo instead (PC).

Cazador
Next on your list is to go to Red Rock Canyon and find some cazador eggs. (Again, if you have 12 stockpiled, you can turn those in and skip the destination Lucy marks on your map.) The route from Red Rock Canyon features a difficult to climb hill, but you can climb it if you stick left. An easier approach is from Jacobstown. The path after this can be difficult as you'll face three different groups of 4-5 cazadores, varying from normal cazadores to young ones. Be sure to search the area around the cazador egg nest. A dead super mutant master with many different types of ammo and a Fat Man is nearby. After taking the pile of cazador eggs, return to Red Lucy for more caps and your final egg-collection task. She gives 1000 caps, or 1500 if you pass another Barter speech challenge (90 Barter to pass).
 * There are a few apparent paths out of Red Rock Canyon in the general direction of the quest arrow. If you stand on the ridge directly west of the Khans' "beat down" circle, you want the path to the west-southwest, not the one to the south. The correct path is the one through the tiny pool of water; there should be three Khan tents on your left as you leave the camp.
 * If you take the path to the south and then try to walk up the impossible cliff in the direction of the quest arrow, you may get stuck in such a way that you are considered to be "falling" and therefore cannot fast travel away. You will have to reload a previous save.
 * A far easier approach is to travel from the Remnants Bunker (if you haven’t discovered that location yet it’s easily reached from Ranger Station Foxtrot). If you fast travel to Foxtrot head north down the pathway leading from the camp. As the pathway turns northwest look to your left and there will be an opening in the terrain. That will take you past the Remnants Bunker and all the way to the cazador nest quickly and with very little difficulty.  This route has a lot of open space for long ranged kills, making it probably the best option for a stealthy sniper type of character.
 * If you have explored this region previously and looted the super mutant master he may respawn his inventory.

Deathclaw
Now is the final test. You will have two options on this challenge, either go to Quarry Junction or to Dead Wind Cavern. Once you have the eggs, go back to Red Lucy and collect your reward (2500 caps, no Barter challenge).
 * At Quarry Junction you will be greeted by one young deathclaw, six deathclaws, one deathclaw alpha, and four deathclaw babies being lead by a very powerful mother deathclaw. As you would assume, the mother deathclaw and the deathclaw babies are at the egg site. Taking out the males can be done one by one but not the mother and babies. After defeating the mother and her babies, you will be able to take the pile of deathclaw eggs as well as, a light machine gun, one mini nuke (there will have another mini nuke on the southern irradiated lake of the quarry), and three deathclaw eggs which are valued at 400 caps apiece. In the green pond to the left of the nest when standing with your back to the entrance is a Fat Man by the skeleton floating in the water.
 * Note that if you've previously cleared out the Quarry for the workers at Sloan, it will not contain any of the special deathclaws to fight when you return for this quest, making it comparatively trivial to retrieve the egg pile for Red Lucy.
 * If you have already discovered the Great Khan Encampment near the Quarry, you can simply sneak in from behind the deathclaw mother and grab the eggs without fighting. Though if you have low sneak you can get on top of a crane and snipe at the deathclaws, they will either just stand there or move around in circles.
 * At Dead Wind Cavern you will face many deathclaws in close quarters, with 2 young deathclaws at the cave entrance. Inside there are at least 4 young and 7 standard deathclaws, as well as 1 deathclaw mother and the legendary deathclaw, the second most powerful enemy in the whole game. It is worth pointing out that some of the deathclaws, namely two standard and the legendary deathclaw can be avoided if you just want the eggs. Although killing them gets you access to Mercy the unique grenade machine gun, and Brotherhood T45d Power Armor in the last chamber after the first one with the eggs.
 * Note that even if you have very recently cleared out Dead Wind Cavern, the deathclaws don't respawn for the quest but they do respawn soon after you clear it out. Luckily the legendary deathclaw does not respawn.

Conclusion
After finishing the quest, you can finally sleep with Red Lucy. She will lead you to her chambers, where she will turn on her lights, change into her sexy sleepwear and wait for you to join her.

Reward
At the conclusion of the quest, the player will receive the Dinner Bell, a unique hunting shotgun variant, and the opportunity to sleep with Red Lucy. Other weapons (a hunting rifle and a hunting revolver) can be rewarded at other parts of the quest. Additionally, the player will receive caps and experience for each egg returned in accordance with the following table.

Bugs
Alternatively, if the surviving nightstalker returns to his cage but does not disappear, find a suitable place to sneak sniper it and if successful, the mission will continue. You may be able to fix this on xbox by bartering a higher price/taking the caps instead of just giving them to her.
 * After starting the quest, then asking Red Lucy for watching a fight between two nightstalkers down in the Thorns arena, the nightstalkers may not start to fight against each other but standing in the arena facing each other doing nothing (actually, this can occur with any creatures selected). Interacting with Lucy is impossible from now on, trying so she says: "It's time for blood. Not talk. Find me after the fight." Since the fight never starts, even not after lots of in-game days you may not end the quest. Trying to shoot the nightstalkers from above or jumping into the arena to cause the nightstalkers to attack you will turn the dwellers of the Thorn hostile towards you and will cause the quest to fail. If you go down the stairs next to Red Lucy, remain hidden, and snipe the creatures, the other side (either red or blue) will run back to the cage. If you open the gate and step inside the arena, they disappear about 75% of the time, allowing you to interact with Red Lucy again. You can also employ a Stealth Boy and get away with shooting the creatures to get the action going.
 * When sleeping with Red Lucy there will be no sound at all.
 * After completing Bleed Me Dry and having "relations" with Red Lucy, she may stay in her room and not come out, asking for intercourse in dialogue only. To fix this you must sleep in her bed for around 24 hours or so.
 * After giving Red Lucy the mantis eggs, the quest will not continue on.
 * The mother deathclaw sometimes respawn even if you already cleared out the cave.
 * In the night stalker cave when getting the 12.7mm sub from behind the 'very hard' locked gate if you trip the wire it sometimes crashes in the explosion from the grenades that drop from the ceiling.
