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. Each part of the quest is rewarded with caps, increasing as you progress. Each time this can be further increased with a ever tougher barter check.

Detailed walkthrough
Red Lucy is looking for a "hunter", and also for that hunter to sexually please her. Red Lucy will send you on a series of quests to find eggs of different creatures.
 * Your first assignment is to acquire 12 giant mantis eggs. Lucy suggests you go to Vault 22, though this is not necessary if you've been stockpiling creature eggs and already have enough. 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 (50 barter to pass) 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.) As Radscorpion eggs don't seem to exist outside of the "egg clutch" created for this quest, you'll have to travel to the indicated location on your map. Looking down from the hill that houses Goodsprings Cemetery, the egg clutch is practically due east, and can be seen through a long range scope.  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 (60 barter to pass) to get her to pay you more. Like before you need to ask her what to do next.
 * Then, She will tell you to go search the Ireteba Peaks for fire gecko eggs, specifically at Bootjack Cavern. (The location is not a map marked location.) As with the assignment to get mantis eggs, if you happen to have 12 fire gecko eggs stockpiled somewhere, you can turn those in instead of heading to the suggested destination. Fast travel to Clarke Field, it will be the easiest route. (If you get attacked by golden geckos when you fast travel there, Wrecked Highwayman or Snyder Prospector Camp also provide easy, relatively short routes.)  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 (70 barter to pass) 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. There is also a hunting shotgun and a hunting revolver next to the campfire, along with some ammo. 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 ton of caps (amounts vary, normally over 7,000) 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. (Again, if you have 12 stockpiled, you can turn those in and skip the destination Lucy marks on your map.) The route from Red Rock Canyon features a difficult to climb hill, but you can climb it if you stick left. The path after this can be difficult as you'll face three different groups of 4-5 cazadors, varying from normal cazadors to young ones. Be sure to search the area around the cazador egg nest. A dead super mutant master with many different types of ammo and a Fat Man is nearby.  After taking the egg pile, return to Red Lucy for more caps and your final egg-collection task.  She gives 1000 caps, or 1500 if you pass another barter speech challenge (90 barter to pass).
 * A far easier approach is to travel from the Remnant's Bunker (if you haven’t discovered that location yet it’s easily reached from Ranger Station Foxtrot). If you fast travel to Foxtrot head north down the pathway leading from the camp.  As the pathway turns northwest look to your left and there will be an opening in the terrain.  That will take you past the Remnant's Bunker and all the way to the cazador nest quickly and with very little difficulty.  This route has a lot of open space for long ranged kills, making it probably the best option for a stealthy sniper type of character.
 * 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, one deathclaw alpha, 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. (Taking out the males can be done one by one but not the mother and babies. Depending on your setup, you might want to try and get a 1-shot YCS/186 Gauss rifle or anti-materiel rifle sneak attack critical hit on the mother.  With a healthy dose of stealth boys it can also be good 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 400 caps apiece.
 * Note that if you've previously cleared out the Quarry for the workers at Sloan, it will not contain any deathclaws to fight when you return for this quest, making it trivial to retrieve the egg pile for Red Lucy.
 * If you have, for whatever reason, discovered the Great Khan Encampment near the Quarry, you can simply sneak in from behind the deathclaw mother and grab the eggs without fighting. Though if you have low sneak you can get on top of a crane and snipe at the deathclaws, they will either just stand there or move around in circles.
 * At Dead Wind Cavern you will face many deathclaws in close quarters, with 2 young deathclaws at the cave entrance. Inside there are at least 4 young and 7 standard deathclaws, as well as 1 deathclaw mother and the legendary deathclaw, the most powerful enemy in the whole game. It is worth pointing out that some of the deathclaws, namely two two standard and the legendary deathclaw can be avoided if you just want the eggs. Although killing them gets you access to Mercy. Once you have the eggs, go back to Red Lucy and collect your reward (2500 caps, no barter challenge).

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

 * 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.


 * If you pay for certain species to fight, they might get out into the pit and not be hostile towards each other.(Verified PS3. Try finding a place where you stay hidden and kill one of the teams.(Do NOT get caught or everyone WILL become hostile)) This will result in no furtherance of plot lines and quests involving Lucy and the underground.
