Deathclaw Sanctuary

Deathclaw Sanctuary: Located in the Northwestern region of the map, South - South-West of Fort Constantine, between Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel and Broadcast Tower KB5. The sanctuary itself is a tunnel system with seven Deathclaws. Also location of Jack and Vengeance.

There is a locked footlocker right outside the cave entrance which contains various guns, ammunition, stimpacks, and a Duck and Cover! book. There is likely to be a Deathclaw outside the entrance, too.

The Endurance bobblehead can be found inside not far from the entrance, located in right-of-center of the first big room at the bottom of a rock pillar. The bobblehead will be next to the dead brahmin on a little platform, which also contains a Mini Nuke and a Nikola Tesla and You. In the same area there is a Nuka-Cola Quantum.

The Vengeance (unique Gatling Laser) is found in the southeast part of the sanctuary in a shallow pool of bloody, fluorescent water tucked under an overhang of rock. The pool contains a dead body, and right next to the body is the weapon. This pool makes frequent "sploosh" noises, so you know when you're close.

Fortunately, the tunnels are ideally suited for stealth play, allowing patient explorers to retrieve Vengeance without engaging any of the Deathclaws. Alternatively, most (all?) of the Deathclaws follow paths through some of the narrow tunnels, so it's also an excellent place to combine stealth with mines. You can find a good two dozen Frag Mines on the bodies scattered around (the exact number may be somewhat random), but bring your own Bottlecap Mines for quicker results.

Jack (the Ripper) will eventually spawn in the cave on a specific Enclave officer after the player progresses far enough into the main story line. Obviously, if entering the cave early in the game Jack will not be there. Once the Enclave does show up, one or more Enclave soldiers and an Enclave Deathclaw will be fighting two Deathclaws at the entrance. The Enclave Deathclaw is larger than the others and wears some kind of mind control device on its head. Upon entering it for the second time 1 deathclaw was encountered, one enclave soldier and 2 officers, the officer in the back SE corner held the Jack.
