Northwood Ridge Quarry

Northwood Ridge Quarry is a location on the Island $$

Layout
The quarry is inhabited by many trappers. The center area of the quarry is comprised of a water-filled ditch containing a number of mirelurks, along with an array of explosives which can be triggered from a safe distance via a button located on the balcony of a shack overlooking the quarry on the north end.

The explosives can be detonated repeatedly, effectively killing any mirelurks staying in the ditch. Once all mirelurks have been killed, a mirelurk queen will emerge from the watery ditch, on which explosives will no longer work. Therefore the queen must be taken out via a different method. There are also several shacks towards the west side of the quarry, one of which has a tension trigger connected to its door, releasing a frag grenade upon opening unless the trigger is disabled.

The interior area of the quarry can be accessed by a door in the northeast area, at the back wall of a smaller area of the ditch littered with mirelurk eggs. Inside is a small tunnel with a sizeable amount of trappers located on a large wooden support at the back of the cave. At the back wall on the supports, there is a steamer trunk.
