Ahahaha! I am on-line once again! Tremble, world, before my electric heating coil of doom!The Toaster

The Cuckoo's Nest is a location in the southwest of the Big MT, just east of X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch.

Layout

The Cuckoo's Nest is a circular cave with a large outcropping in the center. The cave appears to be a lobotomite den and is littered with corpses, junk, piles of flesh, makeshift shelters, beds, and what appears to be a shrine to the Toaster. There are several hostile lobotomites within the cave, including the unique lobotomite, Test Subject 1.

Notable loot

Notes

  • A number of dolls, resembling those coveted by the swampfolk of Point Lookout are hanging from the I.V. stand beside the surgical table near the back of the cave.
  • Below the slope that leads to the cave opening are five graves which can be opened with a shovel.
  • As you approach the cave opening, just below it to the right at the bottom of the slope, there is a shiny locker with an Old World Flag painted on its door in blue, painted by Ulysses.
  • Three lobotomites will repeatedly respawn if the cave is cleared earlier.
  • The only lobotomite jumpsuit not worn by a lobotomite can be found here, near a school-board in the northwest area of the cave.

Appearances

The Cuckoo's Nest appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes

This area is a reference to the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, where the main character had electroshock "therapy" conducted on him to render him docile.

Bugs

  • The location is prone to slow-down. The area around it may lag significantly, making the cave nearly impossible to get to, and made even more unpleasant by the horde of lobotomites wandering around outside.[platforms tag needed][verification overdue]
