Cannibal Johnson's Cave

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland.

Layout
Cannibal Johnson's Cave can be found south east of The Strip, very close to Vault 34 (South West of it), and Northwest of Camp Golf.

Directly inside of it, there is Cannibal Johnson, a non-hostile NPC standing in front of a campfire. Beware of the Bear trap directly leading out of the entrance.

When talked to, he states that he's been 'in the Reaper's Shadow for sometime now.' Meaning he has been wishing to die for sometime now. He also mentions Sergent Dornan, a military drill instructor he knew a long time ago. When asked about being in the military, he simply states: 'Things were better back then.' An Enclave Crate at the Northeast part of the cavern suggests he may have been in the Enclave.

When asked about being a cannibal, he will not tell you, saying that it could ruin the 'Mystique' of it. Although he can be persuaded with a speech check(30).

The cave continues left near the end of the room, leading down into another room, containing the corpses of Coyotes, Nightstalkers, and Molerats. There are also a few pools of 'Blood' in this same room, which counts as stealing if you drink from it. Although it appears to be blood, the game treats it as water. The blood does not have any rads as well.

The PC can also sleep in Cannibal Johnson's bed, without any penalties.


 * Note If you kill johnson you will immediately fail the quest  For Auld Lang Syne

Notable Loot

 * Grognak the Barbarian on Johnson's bed. Must be stolen.
 * Mole rat wonder meat on a cutting board. This is the only appearance of the item in Fallout: New Vegas and might link Cannibal Johnson to the Capital Wasteland since the wonder meat - at least as far as we know from Fallout 3 - was invented there around 2277.
 * Random, Enclave/energy weapons style loot in an Enclave (locked average) footlocker.
 * Lad's Life on shelves behind Johnson.
 * Just to the left of the cave entrance (on the way out), there is a Hollowed-Out Rock containing random loot.
