Bleed Me Dry

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
When you enter The Thorn, you'll meet a woman named Red Lucy. Through dialogue, you can ask what to do to help. Red Lucy will tell you to collect various eggs from different creatures. The further the quest goes along, the more difficult to obtain the egg. You'll start off with finding giant mantis eggs, then radscorpion eggs, followed by fire gecko eggs, then night stalker eggs, followed by cazador eggs, and finally deathclaw eggs. The eggs in this quest will show up as a pile. You do not need to pick up eggs found on the creatures - as the '''eggs picked up at the mounds are Quest/non-trade items. '''

Detailed walkthrough
Red Lucy is looking for a "hunter", and also for that hunter to please her. Red Lucy will send you on a series of quests to find eggs of different creatures. Your first assignment is to go to Vault 22 and acquire some giant mantis eggs. While in the Vault, be careful of the spore carriers and spore plants. In order to get to the eggs on level three, you must locate the cave door keycard in the common area. It is on a shelf in one of the bedrooms. After taking the eggs, you will need to present them to Red Lucy back at The Thorn. You will receive caps, and there will be a barter speech challenge to get her to pay you more. You have to ask her what to do next to unlock the next part of the quest. The next part is to collect radscorpion eggs near Goodsprings Cemetery. There will be at least 5-7 radscorpions there. (The majority will be giant radscorpions.) Just like before, after collecting the eggs, you will bring them back to Red Lucy for your reward in caps and another barter speech challenge to get her to pay you more. Like before you need to ask her what to do next. She will tell you to go search the Ireteba Peaks for fire gecko eggs. (The location is not a map marked location.) Fast travel to Clarke Field, it will be the easiest route. Once inside the cave, you will defeat approximately 10-12 fire geckos. After receiving the eggs, take them back to Red Lucy for more caps and another barter speech challenge. The searching gets tougher as your next challenge will be night stalker eggs. You will need to go to Bloodborne Cave. After entering the cave, make a left and drop down to the lower level. You will find a deceased NCR trooper with a Service Rifle, 5.56 ammo, and a Frag Grenade next to him. After defeating the night stalkers, make sure to look at the campfire and grab the key. The key is very easy to miss. Collect the eggs and follow the path. You'll be greeted by a few more night stalkers. You will come across a cell door, and inside that door is a chest with A LOT of caps in it and a first aid kit. Be careful of the trip wire that is right at the door entrance on the inside of the cage door. After leaving return to Red Lucy. Next on your list is to go Red Rock Canyon and find some cazador eggs. This path is tough as you'll face three different groups of 4-5 cazadors, varying from normal cazadors to young ones. Once reaching the egg pile, you'll see a dead super mutant master with a few things on him such as a Fat Man in poor condition. Once more return back to Red Lucy. Now is the final test. You will have two options on this challenge, either go to Quarry Junction or to Dead Wind Cavern. At Quarry Junction you will be greeted by one young deathclaw, five deathclaws, and four deathclaw babies being lead by a very powerful deathclaw mother. As you would assume, the deathclaw mother and the deathclaw babies are at the egg site. (It is best to stealthily take out the deathclaw babies first, and then focus on the deathclaw mother.) After defeating the mother and her babies, you will be able to take the egg pile as well as, a light machine gun, one mini nuke, and three deathclaw eggs which are valued at 750 caps apiece. Go back to Red Lucy and collect your reward. After finishing the quest, you can finally sleep with Red Lucy. She will lead you to her chambers, where she will turn on her lights, change into her sexy sleepwear and wait for you to join her. If you decide to join her, your screen will fade to black where you will be able to hear the actions that are taking place. Once you are finished with that, your screen will return and you will be fully rested.

Bugs

 * Sometimes contenders in the fighting pit will not engage eachother, instead just staring blankly. If this occurs, you will not be able to intiate dialogue with Red Lucy, as with any attempt, she will ask you to wait until the fight is over. If you attempt to "persuade" the contenders to fight, Red Lucy and her guards will become hostile. A solution to this is to kill one of the contender teams manually, causing the fight to end. This will cause all of the guards and Red Lucy to become hostile. Kill them all. Once all enemies are eliminated, you can resurrect Red Lucy using the console, and she will no longer be hostile (Guards will remain hostile after being resurrected).


 * After completing the quest, selecting to go somewhere more "private" with Lucy, and sleeping with her, you'll be unable to speak with her again. This can be problematic if you plan on betting on or engaging in the fights. A way around it is to save before you hand over the Deathclaw Eggs, and proceed with her to bed without A) talking to her again (until after the deed is done); and B) don't switch off the light when she turns it on. When you receive the "Well Rested Bonus", leave the premises and wait a day. Then you should be able to speak with her about fights again (or engage in some more nookie). If she is still bugged and asking you to join her in bed, reload and try again. [confirmed on Playstation 3]
