The Lynn Woods is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background[]

Dominated for centuries by an old stone lookout tower, this settler encampment by the Saugus River was recently pillaged by raiders.[1] Some Gunners also recently stole some eggs from a deathclaw nest in the ravine to the north, with orders to take them to Diamond City for an eccentric resident.[2]

Layout[]

Lynn Woods is a small, uninhabited location, with all the inhabitants having been killed by raiders before the Sole Survivor discovers it. The nearby area is infested with deathclaws, and is located near a ravine that is used in the quest The Devil's Due, wherein the Sole Survivor can return a deathclaw egg to its nest.

In this location, there is a small tower with a siren on top of it. Reaching the camp area or lockpicking the steamer trunk in the shack will cause several raiders to spawn, while activating the siren will cause two leveled deathclaws to spawn. Normally, the tower is safe from the deathclaws, but if the deathclaws attack the Sole Survivor when the Sole Survivor is in the tower, there is a chance the deathclaws may lunge into the tower, allowing them to then climb the stairs.

Notable loot[]

  • A deathclaw gauntlet - In the small valley to the west-northwest that contains deathclaws. There is a non-hostile deathclaw should one be doing the quest The Devil's Due. The gauntlet is on the ground next to the deathclaw nest container.
  • Wasteland Survival Guide issue #4 - On top of the yellow sleeping bag in the southern wooden shack.
  • Lynn Woods chest key - On the body of a settler at the top of the tower. This opens the Master-locked chest inside the northern shack.

Notes[]

  • To the west of the unmarked deathclaw nest, a mirelurk queen will sometimes spawn. This is level dependent.
  • When at this location during the quest The Devil's Due, companions make comments. These comments are activated at the deathclaw nest when the egg is placed inside the nest, ending the quest.
Location comments
Character Comment
Cait "This is ridiculous. We could be makin' omelettes out of these."
Codsworth "Safely returned to the nest. You're a true advocate of Deathclaw welfare, sir/mum."
Curie "And so we preserve the fragile ecosystem. Although, perhaps the Deathclaw is not so fragile?"
Danse "Now that we're done, I'd advise a hasty retreat before the deathclaw decides to "thank" us personally."
Deacon "Remind me again why we're helping out the violent walking tanks?"
John Hancock "Now how about we get the hell out of here before that thing decides to feed us to its young?"
Nick Valentine "Not easy to do the right thing for something that seems so evil. But everyone deserves their fair shot."
Piper Wright "I guess everyone deserves a chance at life... even if it is life as a walking meat grinder."
Preston Garvey "I know we're supposed to helping people in need, but extending that idea to Deathclaws in need may be taking it a bit too far."
Robert MacCready "I've done some crazy stunts in my day, but helping out a deathclaw? That takes the cake."
Strong "Should eat. Or burn. Not let grow to be deathclaw."
X6-88 "I'm not sure the Institute needs more Deathclaws, but it's your decision."

  • PCPC Occasionally on lower difficulties, only one deathclaw may arrive.[verified]
  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One The settler corpse can sometimes not contain the key to the chest. This seems to occur if one leaves the area or reloads a save after they first load the cell. Reloading to a point before the area was first entered can cause the key to spawn properly, however it still may not spawn every time. [verified]

    Dominated for centuries by an old stone lookout tower, this settler encampment was recently pillaged by Raiders. Why not return the favor? Expect reinforcements if you scale the tower; even the odds by flipping the circuit breaker atop the tower. The siren summons two Deathclaws from a nearby nest. Unlock the steamer trunk (Master) using good old-fashioned chuzpah, or use the key on the settler corpse at the top of the tower."
