The bloodborne cave is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.
Layout
Situated east of the Brotherhood of Steel safehouse and northwest of Bitter Springs, among the red-hued sandstone rocks, the cave lies in a sandstone range similar to Red Rock Canyon and has many dangerous packs of wildlife surrounding the entrance. When viewing the cave entrance from the Mojave Wasteland, the rock walls immediately to the right of the entrance contain a hollowed-out rock with some basic loot. Inside the cave, there are a large number of night stalkers including the legendary night stalker. It has a single interior section.
There is a campfire near the end of the cave, in the room with the legendary night stalker. Here the Courier can find a key. This key opens a Very Hard locked gate on the north side of the cave. Behind the locked door lies a significant amount of loot. Right beyond the gate is an easy-to-miss trip wire which triggers three grenade bouquets. This trap can be deadly, as the grenades drop in a tight corridor.
Past the campfire are several skeletons, often accompanied by loot including weapons and ammunition. The mushrooms on the ground may conceal the loot.
Notable loot
- A large amount of caps along with four $100 NCR, 15 $20 NCR, 64 $5 NCR dollars, five Legion Denarius and two Legion Aureus- In an Average-locked trunk behind a Very Hard-locked gate. The cap amount varies and is influenced by level and the Fortune Finder perk. A tripwire is located behind the gate, setting off rigged explosives.
- A 12.7mm SMG in poor condition - In the same area behind the locked gate.
- Key - On one of the campfire's cinder blocks. Unlocks the aforementioned Very Hard-locked gate, however, it won't unlock the Average-locked trunk.
- Pile of night stalker eggs - Found amidst the large pack of night stalkers towards the rear of the cave. Relevant as a quest item for Bleed Me Dry.
Notes
After three days, if the legendary night stalker is killed, up to 13 other night stalkers will re-spawn (3 x 100% chance, 6 x 75% chance, 4 x 50% chance, first random encounter). After another four days, if three night stalkers are killed (those having 100% chance of re-spawning), six cazadores will spawn (100% chance, second and last random encounter).
Appearances
The bloodborne cave appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs
- After killing the legendary night stalker the Courier might be immediately teleported at the entrance of the cave.[verified]
