The '''mirelurk nesting hole''' is a location in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.

==Layout==
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 ant (Fallout 3)|giant ants]] and [[mirelurk]]s that chose to make it their nesting place.

A little ways after you start out, you will meet a fork in the path. 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 [[Mirelurk#mirelurk hunter|mirelurk hunter]], [[Mirelurk#mirelurk king|king]], or both).

==Notable loot==
* [[Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual (Fallout 3)|Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual]] in a cave northwest of the main southern chamber. There is also an [[Assault rifle (Fallout 3)|assault rifle]] with some ammunition 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. Hug the western wall (it is not up the rubble pile), next to a [[Ham radio]]. ('''B''')

==Appearances==
The mirelurk nesting hole only appears in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.
