Encounter Concord Deathclaw before meeting Minutemen?

[Fried Noodles]

So, I'm on my second playthrough right now, on the new Survival mode.
I remember on my first playthrough, I was scared out of the Civic Access beneath Concord by the Mirelurk that I couldn't kill with my 10mm pistol.

This time, I went down there with Codsworth. When I encountered it, I got a few good shots on its face before it hit me once, and nearly killed me. I hobbled back (crippled legs) and luckily, Codsworth bodyblocked it so I was able to finish it off and heal up.

As I explored deeper in to the sewers, Codsworth started to bug out, saying that he detected the sounds of a rather large creature taking a snooze nearby and that we should be quiet.

He kept repeating that line over and over again until I went away from that general area. Talking with him didn't do anything either.



I assume he's referring to the Deathclaw that pops out while you're fighting Raiders in Power Armor.

Is there any way to fight it before that event?

I've gone down there again and made noise. Fired my gun, threw a grenade, ran up and down. Codsworth just keeps repeating that same line and nothing happens.

No, the deathclaw reference remains disabled until you're on the quest to clear out the raiders.
Meaning, even if you went to where the deathclaw is supposed to spawn in from, he won't be there

The room that the deathclaw is in is chained from the otherside, so the only way to get into it is through the open sewer, which doesnt open untill the deathclaw pops out.

its just an example of dialogs happening before the actual mission event does. Good way to confuse the player.

what I am wondering though is how did you get codworth to come with you before the concord mission? for me Codworth stays locked at the same spot in front of your sanctuary home until you rescue minuteman

Codsworth's companion quest is When Freedom Calls, that is extremely weird

Codsworth has some of the stupidest comments made that shoudl not exist.

After completing Thicket Excavations he will comment on how the quarry got flooded when there is no water in it.

Codsworht has a lot of dumbass remarks that makes you wonder how smart that robot actually is. been so long since I used him I forgot the other examples.

It comes to no surprise he comment about a deathclaw that is already dead.

even if you could kill it, it would respawn when you do Freedom quest, it's not so tough if you explore a bit, get your levs up before you do freedom, u do get a PA and a minigun.

Codworth gets unlocked as a companion as soon as you discover Concord on your map. Can run to Concord and straight back and tell him you didn't find any help there yet. Then he offers to join you.
