Layout Edit

The only way to access promontory is via a dirt path north of the position marked by the picture to the right. It is a rough, uneven area over a cliff, with a labyrinth of hills, filled with a large number of various types of deathclaws. The area has been known to be inhabited by about 36 deathclaws total, varying from alpha males, mothers, and normal deathclaws, as well as young and baby deathclaws.

Notable loot Edit

Notes Edit

The number of deathclaws found on the promontory varies with the player character's level. If the player character has a high level (30+), it is possible for a large number to spawn including multiple alpha male and mother deathclaws.

This is the only place in the game to obtain Remnants power armor outside of the quest For Auld Lang Syne.

Legionary assassins may spawn in the area after loading a save. They will fight the deathclaws if the player character is hidden, and will likely not survive.

There are 11 broc flower plants and eight xander roots across the promontory.

Appearances Edit

The deathclaw promontory appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes Edit

The deathclaw promontory is situated in the same geographical location as the real world Promontory Point, a mountainous region in Clark County, Nevada.

Bugs Edit

PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Sometimes bodies and other game objects fall through the ground and are inaccessible. The only remedy is to wait for the game to reset the objects in the map cell to their original positions. This requires 72 in-game hours spent away from the area and is unaffected by saving and loading. [verified]
