It is also possible to participate in the bouts. If the team chosen by the Courier is victorious, the amount of caps originally given will be returned as well as an additional sum. Since the creatures are expensive to breed, keep, and maintain, the player character must pay for the fight. The player character chooses what creature and how many of such will fight on each side. The arena is surrounded by a system of raised catwalks for the guards and spectators, and surrounding the sides are cages holding the wasteland creatures grown and kept by Red Lucy for arena battles.Ĭustom fights can be arranged by speaking to Red Lucy.
Access to the Thorn is denied from 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM. The Thorn serves as a sporting arena, where bets can be placed on the outcome of fights between wasteland creatures. The "R" in the sign points to the sewer below, distinguishing the main entrance. When approaching the Westside south entrance, a barricade of sorts can be seen, spelling out the location's name.
