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 and 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
- The Sink Project: Toaster holotape can be found to the right immediately upon entrance on the bottom of a shelf on a makeshift toaster shrine.
- A protonic inversal axe is on the body of Test Subject 1.
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.
- This 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.
- The only lobotomite jumpsuit not worn by a lobotomite can be found here, near a schoolboard 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.
