Deathclaw Promontory

 is a location in Fallout: New Vegas; an unmarked area on the east bank of the Colorado River, due east of the Lucky Jim Mine and the Cliffside Prospector Camp.

Layout
It is a rough, uneven area over a cliff, with a labyrinth of hills, filled with a large number of deathclaws.

It should be noted that Broc Flowers grow extensively in this area. Players who make their own stimpacks should take advantage of this.

Notable Loot

 * A Tri-beam laser rifle next to the bodies of the dead prospectors.
 * T-51b power armor found on a dead prospector.
 * Remnants power armor found on a dead prospector.
 * Multiplas rifle found on a dead prospector.
 * 3x Deathclaw eggs can be found at the southern end against a cliff. Up to 8 additional eggs might be looted off killed deathclaws.
 * North of the promontory entrance, near the hoover dam river blockade is a small nest of Lakelurks, they guard a few explosive crates containing C-4 plastic explosives.

The aforementioned prospectors are located in the southeast corner of the promontory against a rock. However, it is possible that the bodies do not appear until all or most of the deathclaws have been killed. There have been times when the bodies did not appear, but suddenly popped up on a second pass where additional deathclaws were killed.

(You probably will stay here until night and waiting for those specific deathclaws appears. It is really hard to keep hidding around those deathclaws, so take powerful weapons and companions with you and ready for a big fight.)

Enemies

 * 12x Deathclaws.
 * 4x Young deathclaws.
 * 2x Deathclaw mothers.
 * 1x Deathclaw alpha

Note: Number of Deathclaw seem to vary with the player's level.

Bugs
got stuck. (Confirm?)
 * There is a bug associated with there being no dead bodies to loot. To fix, either save and re-load, or use console commands to gain the armor/weapons. The bodies sometimes spawn if you wander around the promontory.
 * If saving and reloading does not work, try restarting the console.
 * 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. (Confirmed )
 * The game tends to freeze at random in the area.
 * There deathclaws and prospectors might not spawn at all.
 * The 3 deathclaw eggs at the southern nest will start to sink into the ground as you approach and you won't be able to pick them up. You need to grab them before they do.  I was only able to nab 2 before the 3rd one
 * On some rocks, the tips of them may appear see-through when viewed from certain angles.
 * It is possible to get stuck within these invisible boundaries.
 * Waiting too long or saving and loading in the area may cause more deathclaws to spawn nearby.


 * Upon return, the prospector bodies will be gone if looted.
 * You can fall through the rocks and get stuck.
