Stone Bones Cave

Stone Bones Cave is a location in the Zion Canyon.

Layout
Located within the area of the Sorrows Camp, This cave is located on a ridge above the general area. Once you enter the cave you will see some pillars and a path to the left. There is a tripwire connected to a grenade bouquet across the entrance to this path, so watch your step! The grenades will fall behind you, so either run back into the initial room and take cover, or continue down the path.

Three bear traps are immediately ahead in the path. Behind the third bear trap, lies another trip wire. The path then slopes upwards and forks into two directions. Immediately at the top of the slop is a plasma mine, behind a pot.

Right takes you down a slope and into a cavern with water at ankle level. Watch out for plasma mines on the way down this slope, along with yet another trip wire. The cavern itself has a number of water purification systems, and a shotgun trap on the left as you enter the cavern. With the exception of the shotgun trap, the plasma mine and the water, there is nothing else of value in this room.

The left path takes you via a slightly winding path into a room with more purification systems and a column of rock dominating the center. To the right of this column is a workbench and reloading bench, with miscellaneous items and a broken laser rifle on the floor next to the reloading bench. (The broken rifle cannot be picked up). A pair of explosive crates on the far side (from the entrance) of the room contain explosive ammunition including a 25mm grenade pack and variants.

A short set of steps leads up to a platform with a terminal - one of the survivalist's terminals which are dotted around Zion. Desert Ranger combat armor and Desert Ranger combat helmet are in the area of the terminal, and a Survivalist Hidden Cache is located wedged under a lip of rock. Another path, with a tripwire and grenade bouquet, on the left as you entered the left cave, leads out into Zion.

Quick way to disarm the traps
Upon entering, carry a missle launcher or pack a bunch of explosives. When turning left towards the area that is heavily boobytrapped, fire a missle in that direction or lob some explosives (make sure to keep your distance). When done correctly, all traps in the first corridor should have been set off and you can safely head for the workbench crate.

Notable loot

 * Desert Ranger combat armor and Desert Ranger combat helmet in the back of the cave.
 * A workbench crate which has a small random chance of containing up to three skill books.
 * A Survivalist hidden cache inside the chamber with a Reloading bench, Workbench, various crates, and a campfire. The bag is on the elevated area behind the reloading bench, underneath a bit of rock directly to the right of the bedroll.
