Charleston Cave



Charleston cave is a location within Mount Charleston in the Mojave Wasteland. The cave is slightly north-west of Jacobstown, near the top of a hill.

Background
Full of stunning stalactites and other ancient rock formations, Charleston cave has remained closed for hundreds of years since its discovery in the early 1960s, and subsequent geological instability. Once the home to a hold-out during the Great War, Nightstalkers now roam these empty chambers.

Layout
The cave is a series of winding rock tunnels with several spacious caverns scattered throughout the stone labyrinth. The dark cave is dimly lit by many clusters of green, bio-luminescent mushrooms. Inside is a bunker built before the war. The door to the bunker is locked, with a Lockpick skill of 75 required to open it.

Outside the cave on the right, is a hollowed-out rock with graffiti of a heart on it.

Appearances
Charleston cave appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
The night stalkers have a tendency to get stuck, usually head-first, within the inclines of the cave passages, making it impossible to achieve a sneak head shot. If you do not have a weapon powerful enough to kill one in one shot (regardless of body part), it will become unstuck upon changing to attack mode.
