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
Essentially the only way to get atop the Promontory is a dirt path North of the position marked by the picture to the right.

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 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 defeated deathclaws. If you are having trouble finding them, they are almost due South from the dead prospector.

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.
 * Sometimes, after clearing the area, several more deathclaws will all spawn at the same time and in the same area. Sometimes these deathclaws include mother and alpha male deathclaws, even at lower levels.
 * 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.
 * Sometimes, the bodies with the armor may appear, but the weapons will not. This can be fixed by waiting ingame for the cells to reload.
 * Sometimes deathclaws may spawn inside of the rocks which make them a minor threat. However, targeting them in V.A.T.S. will send you into the rocks with no chance of escape.
