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 (Fallout 3)|mirelurks]] 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 which is protected by at least one mirelurk of higher level than the rest (a [[Mirelurk (Fallout 3)#mirelurk hunter|mirelurk hunter]], [[Mirelurk (Fallout 3)#mirelurk king|king]], or both).

==Notable loot==
* [[Nuka-Cola Quantum (Fallout 3)|Nuka-Cola Quantum]] in the southwestern chambers (the one with the high level mirelurk), crammed up in the corner. Hug the western wall (up past the rubble pile), next to a [[ham radio]]. ('''B''')
* ''[[Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual (Fallout 3)|Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual]]'' in a cave in the northwest corner of the main southern chamber. Almost straight north of the ham radio and Nuka-Cola Quantum. ('''A''')
