The yao guai cave is a location in Zion Canyon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
Layout[]
Situated slightly northeast of the East Fork Bridge and south of the Zion fishing lodge, the location consists of a series of small tunnels leading to a large central cavern containing three yao guai. Upon entering, the paths will fork; the uphill path to the right will dead end at two skeletons, the left hand path downhill being the only option. At the next fork, going straight will lead to a high vantage point over the central cavern. It is possible to attack from here by hopping up onto the rock blocking the view of the cavern below. An invisible barrier will block all shots unless the yao guai are against the western wall of the large cavern or near the middle. If they are below the player, then the shots will hit the invisible barrier.
Returning to the last fork and taking a left leads to a partially submerged tunnel which exits at another fork. Heading left leads to a dead end, and right leads to the large central cavern.
If River Monsters is completed via the optional objective to place C-4 plastic explosives in the cave and use the mining detonator, the entrance will be sealed up and inaccessible for the rest of the game.

Notes[]
If all three resident yao guai are killed prior to starting River Monsters, they will respawn when entering the cave again during the quest.
