Talk:Blind deathclaw

What are the rules regarding various "tips" in terms of how to kill various kinds of creatures like Deathclaws, delete or not delete? --115.64.124.141 10:08, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The rule is to delete any and all tactics/not add tactics to articles. -- 12:17, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Can find you as easily as normal deathclaws?
You sure about that? The only one I've encountered seemed to have trouble locating me even after I'd attacked it. It mostly walked in my general direction and even lunged at thin air a few times if I recall correctly.--24.147.62.26 02:49, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Blind?
If they have such a high perception then why are they called "blind" deathclaws?

well its simple really... ever hear of something along the lines of a blind warrior? like..someone who has no use of their eyes so their ability to hear smell and feel are hightened...its the same for the deathclaws they cant see but are still able to sense you.

Oh... so if I sneak in front of it, about 30 feet away, very slow would it still attack me?

i have yet to make a sneak character but i think due to its high perception it would be quite hard to sneak around, high sneak and slow movment will likley work though. Voruse 06:55, November 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * You would need a hefty chameleon or invisibility effect to sneak around deathclaws. Ironic since they are mutated chameleons. And, since this isn't The Elder Scrolls, you won't find any chameleon or invisibility effects; Stealth fields are a poor imitation of chameleon. -- 11:06, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Stat Vaules
I've added some stat values from the editor, I don't know what the DT is on the deathclaws is though. Or what kind of EXP they give. 99.251.48.18 07:32, December 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've found the Deathclaw DT, and have added it into the page. 99.251.48.18 07:37, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Easter Egg
I know that they are regular enemies but aren't they kinda like a reference to how we always used to shoot them in the eyes in the old games? (At least that's what I always did) And if so, should it be noted on it's page? 81.236.211.126 20:37, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

I never recall shooting a deathclaw in the eyes... i think it's just you who did it. so i'm going to say no, don't ad it to the notes. 115.64.119.132 12:08, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Anon might have a point. Jas Wilkins says that The Chosen One killed her mom's pet deathclaw after he "shot it right in the eye". And way back in Fallout 1, Harold offers this tidbit of advice when asked about deathclaw weaknesses: "Well, from what I've heard, maybe whack it in the head? I'd try the eyes." Of course, being Harold, he immediately follows up with misinformation: "You can't look at 'em! It is said the Death Claw can hypnotize just by lookin'. Then it walks up and "boom", you're et!" 98.204.174.71 07:21, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

It is definately a reference in my opinion --Cartman! 15:48, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Perception stat
According to the stats listed for the normal Death Claw in New Vegas it has a Perception stat of 8 (Deathclaw (Fallout: New Vegas)), which the Blind Deathclaw also seems to have. So are these statements about lowered/raised perception wrong or are the stat listings inaccurate? Great Mara 06:39, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
