Mirelurk nesting hole

This is a cave complex reached through a sewer grate south of the reflecting pool in The Mall. In many places there are radioactive streams of water leaking down. Originally home to a small number of humans who hid here seeking refuge, they apparently perished from the radiation or the Giant Ants and Mirelurks that chose to make it their nesting place.

A little ways after you start out, you will meet a fork in the road. Both tracks will converge later on, the right path eventually dropping into the left path from above. Following the path will lead to a circular chamber used by the Mirelurks as a nesting site protected by a high level Mirelurk (a Hunter, King, or both).

Notable Loot

 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual in a cave northwest of the main southern chamber. There is also an assault rifle with some ammo and a sledgehammer. (A) (The circuitous route to this location starts by scaling some rocks north of a dead raider. If you find a Brahmin corpse and another dead raider at the top, you're headed in the right direction.)
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum: Southwestern chambers (the one with the high level Mirelurk), crammed up in the corner (climb the rubble pile, as close to the west wall as possible), next to a Ham Radio. (B) Look high for the glow.
 * There are several Ammunition Boxes scattered throughout the cave that are half buried and blend in well. Random weapons are scattered amongst the debris and rocks which can easily be missed. Also be sure to check all the wooden boxes as most contain loot including the one tucked up next to the entrance.
