Fire Root Cavern

The  is a cave in the Mojave Wasteland.

Layout
Most easily accessed via the Cottonwood Crater, the other access involves a narrow path, and is easily missed. The cave itself consists of one large room with a radioactive pool and an adjoining corridor. There are a few Fire Geckos including a Legendary Fire Gecko. In the corner where the passage goes down to the water is an "Evil Gnome" statue under a plant leaf. There are also a Dufflebag with some ammo and minor loot and a "Combat helmet", when you exit the corridor that goes down to the Pool area, go left and you will see a skeleton with the dufflebag next to it and the combat helmet closeby.

Notable Loot

 * Evil Gnome: as you enter (from Fire Root cavern marker) the big room just follow the ledge on the left side, then take to the left and it should be in the T-junction.


 * Combat helmet: as you enter the pool area, look to your left and you should see a skeleton with a Dufflebag and the Combat helmet right next to it


 * If you find the exit in the cave back out to the Wasteland that opens up into a pool of water you can find a dead prospecter floating in the water outside the cave that should have a Fat Man (Fallout: New Vegas) in his inventory with other random loot.
