What do you mean 'end of level 1?'  Where are you in the game?  Do you 
mean in vault 111?   

I didn't really have any trouble there.  You can drink from the water 
fountain to restore your health, you don't even need to use the gun 
there, one punch or pistol whip will kill the radroaches (well maybe not 
if you went 1 strength, haven't tested that yet)

Also 'q' for VATS will work even before you get the pip-boy, which will 
make fighting the radroaches easier.

If you're talking about the Deathclaw, I'm not sure there, I've beaten 
him with 3 characters on normal, but it took about 10 times each time, 
and I basically had to get lucky.  With my 1st I hadn't figured out VATS 
yet, and I basically just kept sprinting away and unloading on him with 
the minigun, eventually I got lucky and he didn't kill me before I got 
him, 2nd character he fell down the hole he came out of and got stuck and 
I just shot him with my shotgun while he was stuck, 3rd character I kept 
playing cat & mouse, had to exit the power armor after my power ran out, 
and kept holing up in one of the buildings (after I noticed on a previous 
attempt one of the raiders going inside and the deathclaw being unable to 
follow), regen my ap, going out getting his attention, shooting him once 
or twice with a shotgun in vats and then running back to the building 
ad-infinitum - and that was with my melee guy, no way you can melee him, 
he'll just tear you apart!

I'm wondering if you might be better off avoiding that quest for awhile and 
doing just about anything else, at least until you have a few fusion 
cores to last through the fight, and maybe a repaired set of power armor, 
and enough drugs to roid out on him.
