Notes[]
- The player character is required to be level 15 to get the quest from Chomps Lewis.
- If the player character informs Lewis that they will attempt to remove the deathclaws, they will receive 5 stimpaks as well as 5 super stimpaks. If the player character's level is lower than 15, he will remark that he does not think that they would be able to do it and he will not give them any stimpaks, and advise them to turn back and leave, even going so far as to suggest a safer route to New Vegas (assuming that was the player's goal). Should the player insist on trying, Lewis will simply warn them not to expect a rescue if they end up struggling. If the player ends up succeeding, however, he will express disbelief and relief.
- This quest can be started and completed before even speaking to Chomps Lewis. Simply speak to him after it is completed for the reward.
- Two to three in-game days after the deathclaw alpha male and the deathclaw mother are killed, the deathclaws will leave the area.
- Finishing this quest will not make quarry workers appear in Quarry Junction, but rather they will show up in Boulder City and will patronize the Big Horn Saloon. Additionally, the bartender will mention that "some badass" wiped out the deathclaws.
- Killing the deathclaw babies will frenzy the deathclaw mother.
- Deathclaws' large size makes it hard for them to maneuver up piles of rocks or around certain objects. The quarry thus makes it easier to find these piles and keep away from them while you attack. A particularly effective way is to climb the western conveyor belt to the central tower and pick them off from there.
- If Chomps Lewis is dead, the player character will not be able to finish the quest.
- If the deathclaw mother and/or deathclaw alpha male are killed in a way that does not give the player character XP (e.g. killing them with dynamite dropped on the ground to bolster a powder charge), that kill will still count towards the quest.
