The Nopah cave is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[]

Once famed for containing trilobite fossils, by 2281, these ancient caves have since been claimed by fire geckos.[1]

Layout[]

Situated southeast of Chance's map, the cave entrance is guarded by a few fire geckos. The cave interior consists of a narrow passageway leads to an empty chamber. The chamber branches off into other sections, each with a moderate amount of fire geckos (typically up to nine). In the back of the left chamber, there is a dead super mutant master lying face down with a badly damaged Fat Man in his inventory. However, there are no mini nukes to be found in the entire cave.

There are several skeletons found here, including one near the super mutant with a bag named "adventurer's pack" which contains some loot. Also seen is the severed head and chest of a man.

Notable loot[]

A nearly broken Fat Man is found on the corpse of a super mutant master.

Appearances[]

The Nopah cave appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes[]

The in-game Nopah cave is located in the same geographical area as the real-world Nopah Range, a mountainous region on Nevada's western border with California.
