When Will Behemoth Be Available Mhw Again

Final Fantasy's "legendary beast" Behemoth has finally dropped like a fiery meteor on Monster Hunter World and, well, it's been cart-a-palooza out at that place, folks.

I've failed the mission with bad teams. I've failed the mission with skilful teams — with some of those fails being totally my error (I am and so, so deplorable, guys). I don't even want to think nearly how much harder his tempered version will exist when information technology pops up. Goosefraba...

Anyway, Behemoth's simply been out less than a day as I write this then the community is even so getting used to the monster. As such, I've decided put together some quick tips to help folks take downward the muscular meathead or at least make the hunt more manageable. Admittedly, you can practice well and still fail the special mission if others in your team cart 1 as well many times. Withal, one less cart for you ways more breathing space for the unabridged team.

On that note, here are my pointers when battling Behemoth.

Fix your, well, you-know-what

A Behemoth battle is kinda' similar a visit to Mordor. I merely does not walk into it. No siree, yous gotta exist ready as things can become south in a heartbeat. Some stuff to bring off the acme of my head include:

• Max potion : For topping off rapidly if your life is reduced to a sliver.
• Farcaster: For a quick escape in case healing takes also long or you sustain serious damage while you're out of healing items.
• Lifepowder: For healing teammates in a pinch.
• Nulberries : For curing Thunderblight from his lightning assault.
• Flash Pods: For canceling spells similar Charybdis.
• Immunizer: Speeds up the charge per unit of recovery for red health. Works cracking with Wide Range.
• Whetfish Fin+: For quick sharpening mid-battle if you don't have the fast sharpening skill. Regular Whetfish Fin is OK, also, if y'all don't accept the "+" version.
• Astera Jerky: To cure bleed status in case yous get gored by Behemoth.
• Cold Potable: For times when Behemoth goes to the hot area of Elderberry'south Recess. The supply box actually has 4 sets of two Cold Drinks in example you forget to bring information technology.
• Temporal Mantle: Information technology won't save yous from Ecliptic Shooting star but it's great for dealing damage or surviving aggro while information technology'southward agile.

Equally e'er, y'all can bring stuff like powders and drugs for buffing attack and defence too every bit nuts like Mega Potions and what have you. You can also bring either a Vitality Mantle or a Health Booster if you're tanking — basically, whatever you lot feel helps you get the job done.

As far as skills, this can change from hunter to hunter based on your preferences but some useful quality-of-life options to consider include:

• Health Boost: That extra 50 points of Health has saved me more times than I tin can count.
• Earplugs: In add-on to the increased attack windows, they can too relieve you from being frozen past a roar then carted by a subsequent heavy assail. That is, unless you're a roar-countering or dodging savant. So, by all means, selection another skill.
• Tremor Resistance: This one is self-explanatory. Not super crucial but tin exist dainty to have.
• Partbreaker: Dandy to have when farming mats every bit you can all the same receive parts like Greathorns and Shearclaws fifty-fifty if y'all fail the mission.

Hit 'em where information technology hurts

Hitting weak points for increased harm is Monster Hunter 101 and there are three spots I typically like to striking when fighting Behemoth.

For Blademasters who use cutting impairment, attacking Behemoth's tail is pretty much killing non but ii only three birds with one stone because:

• You do more than harm and, for melee, your weapon doesn't bounciness.
• Cutting information technology reduces the range of not just his tail swipe merely that annoying full-body spin set on that does large impairment.
• Cutting it nets an extra carve.

When using a weapon like the Great Sword, I've found it easiest to hit the tail by standing just behind its tip while facing Behemoth's well-endowed glutes of steel. This pretty much aligns my strike with the length of Behemoth'south tail, which I notice to be more than authentic than, say, hitting the tail from a perpendicular position. Even if I'thousand the merely hunter focusing on the tail, I'm usually able to cut it in the starting time area — and it'southward most likely gonna get cutting past the second area if I don't become it on the first one. Behemoth's little tail stubble also continues to be a weak betoken even after the tail gets lopped off.

One time the tail is cutting, I switch to his front end arms, which receives larger impairment than his hind legs. If you lot want to draw aggro, you can hit his face, which is a weak spot, too. Just exist mindful of your position if y'all're using a melee weapon as being too deep into the face might make you hit the horns or the chest, which volition cause you to bounce. Behemoth'south front end surface area is too a unsafe spot as that's where a lot of his attacks hit.

Note that breaking his claws and horns nets you a hazard for items at the terminate even if you fail the mission. I've gotten v Greathorns and a couple of Shearclaws, for case, after v or so failed missions just from breaking parts.

For Gunners and Hammer users, Behemoth's face is the main weak point. The monster still has a two-star weakness from both weapons with its tail merely suffers from a three-star weakness to its confront. Bullets and arrows also don't bounce on the horns, making them platonic for attacking the head. During my first successful hunt, for instance, nosotros had one Bow user, one Heavy Bowgun user, a Accuse Blade user then me on Nifty Sword. The ii ranged hunters focused on the caput while the CB user mostly focused on the forepart paws and I stuck to the tail. All of those body parts were pretty much broken by the fourth dimension Behemoth ran away from the second surface area.

The enmity of my enemy is my friend

Hitting Behemoth'due south handsome mug allows a player to draw enmity from the monster, something indicated by the telltale red line from monster-to-player borrowed from Final Fantasy 14.

This comes with several benefits. Ane is that it allows the three other players to attack Behemoth without having to worry every bit much about being attacked. The other is that it stops Behemoth from using certain attacks. Maybe information technology's just me simply I could almost swear that I don't run into Behemoth spamming those tornadoes when its aggro is drawn by a player. Drawing aggro besides allows the tank to lead Behemoth away from the comet rocks then they don't go destroyed while still maintaining a close enough distance to get to them should the monster cast Ecliptic Falling star.

Do note that whoever draws enmity has to be conscientious. Ideally, you'll want it to be someone who tin can guard every bit a tanking player can die in a couple of hits otherwise. For melee, Lance or Gunlance is especially good due to their compact shields. A Gunlance Wyrmstake to the face up is also a skilful way of cartoon aggro super fast. Otherwise, a Charge Bract user with a charged shield or a Heavy Bowgun user with a Shield attachment tin work as well. In improver to guarding, the tank tin counter his attacks too. Just be careful when using something similar the Smashing Sword shoulder tackle, for example. I call back tackling through a regular Shooting star attack and information technology yet took off a overnice chunk of my health. If you describe enmity while using a weapon that doesn't have a shield or does not counter, you can also save your Temporal Pall and use it to survive once you get aggro.

Rock and sock 'em

Behemoth starts out at Expanse 8 of Elder'due south Recess, which provides a couple of opportunities for free damage via the destructible crystal boulder formations. As soon every bit you walk into the expanse, make a beeline for either the Stone or Crystalburst gathering spots and equip either one to your slinger. Use those to shoot down the crystals when Behemoth is underneath them and yous'll deal some nice harm — fifty-fifty more then if you manage to do it while the monster is comatose.

Get flashy

Behemoth'due south Charybdis tornado spell doesn't seem too bad at first. Once the monster gets 4 or five of those going at the same time, though, it tin turn a hunt that was going well into a windy hot mess. I've also died to the super meteor move a couple of times because the closest comet bedrock in accomplish was, yup, surrounded by tornadoes. Ungh. As such, you'll desire to cancel it when you get the risk.

An like shooting fish in a barrel way to do that is by chucking a Flash Pod in his face, or at least the full general vicinity in forepart of him. If y'all happen to have conversation going on with your squad, it might be a good thought to signal who'southward flashing so y'all don't waste matter pods. Trust me, you lot'll demand all of your team member's pods as Behemoth actually starts spamming the move once it moves to its second area. Also, Behemoth tends to only stand there when channeling Charybdis. This is a great fourth dimension to set on his weak points without fright. A good strategy is to have three team members attacking the monster while it'southward channeling and then have i person do the flashing. The flasher (that kind of sound, uh, bad but you know what I mean) should besides wait a few seconds before throwing the flash pod so other folks can get more impairment in.

The one caveat is that flashing him resets his enmity or aggro, which tin can exist bad or good depending on the situation. And so again, reseting aggro is better than having a bajillion tornadoes clogging up your zones like an artery that's about prepare to pb to a full-blown centre assail. You lot can also use the aggro-canceling mechanic to your advantage if you notice that your tank is struggling and likely to cart while Behemoth is locked on to him or her. And if you lot run out of Flash Pods and can't restock or craft, peppering Behemoth with Slinger ammo similar Crystalburst or Dragon Pods can blanch the monster, likewise, if you lot hitting it plenty times.

Bait and switch

So your team is out of Flash Pods and you see the dreaded "Behemoth is casting Charybdis" message. The expert news is that whoever gets targeted by the move has time to atomic number 82 information technology to an area where information technology will do the least harm. One time y'all see the telltale wind gust developing around you, run toward a spot like the exterior walls or corners of the area you're in to brand Behemoth bandage the tornado to that specific spot. You definitely desire to pb it abroad from any comet boulders that you will need to hide in. The same goes true for the middle or open areas of the map, which you want to go along articulate so the tornadoes don't restrict your movement options. By the way, this too works when Behemoth casts Comet to transport down a boulder. This is indicated by a glowing circumvolve under whoever is existence targeted, which you lot can use to your advantage by leading the incoming comet boulder to an ideal spot. Ideally, you'll desire the boulders scattered throughout the map instead of being clumped together in one spot so they're easier to go to regardless of where you are. Sky knows how many times I've seen hunters die — including myself —  because the nearest boulder was too far to go to.

Apopleptic with Ecliptic Meteor?

When I faint in a Behemoth hunt, it'south usually due to 5 reasons:

• Getting zoned by tornadoes
• Getting massacred after drawing aggro
• Ecliptic Falling star
• Ecliptic Falling star
• Ecliptic Falling star

Well, you lot get the hint. I mean, fifty-fifty when yous know how to deal with it, yous tin nevertheless die from it due to ane reason or another.

Typically, Behemoth will do this motility three times. The offset is when it moves from its second area to the third. The 2nd time is when information technology moves from the third area to its final surface area. The 3rd time is when you bargain enough damage in the final area and crusade him to go nuclear one more time.

Ecliptic Meteor is unique in Monster Hunter Earth as it negates pretty much all of the rubber moves and crutches that you've relied on earlier.

The panic dive, also known as the "Superman swoop?" Doesn't work.

The Temporal mantle? Nope.

Farcaster back to camp? Item is disabled.

Heck, even when you're in military camp, you lot can nonetheless die from Ecliptic Meteor if you aren't inside a tent or sitting at the army camp bottle if Behemoth happens to be close by. In the aforementioned start successful hunt, our poor Bow user carted after cartoon enmity then carted a second time shortly after that only as he or she started leaving camp. And don't even call up of even outrunning the move by moving to a dissimilar zone because the matter has crazy wide range, pun so totally intended. Believe, me I've tried.

Instead, the easiest way to survive is to stand behind the boulders that are left on the field after Behemoth'southward Comet assail. Just make sure to look where the glowing spot is when Behemoth channels, which indicates where the attack volition state. Basically, you want to have the bedrock between y'all and that. Otherwise, you'll finish up similar these poor guys who thought they were hiding behind a boulder, only for the Ecliptic Meteor to drop right behind them. It'due south similar the bedrock was hiding backside them instead.

Now, you lot'll want to pay attending once Behemoth drops about three comet rocks considering that signals it's about to go Ecliptic. This is especially important if you have a weapon that sheathes slowly or has deadening lumbering combos. I've probably died to the assault three times because I was mid-Truthful Accuse slash as it starts and couldn't make it to a rock or bring upward the Jump gesture in time by the fourth dimension my attacks was over.

As well keep in mind that the bedrock can get destroyed by either Behemoth'south attacks or yours. This is a lesson I learned the difficult way subsequently playing with a great team and making it to Behemoth'due south final surface area without any carts. Then he does his last Ecliptic Shooting star and we await effectually and realize that all the boulders have been destroyed. The only thing I remember earlier the Ecliptic Meteor dropped was iii of united states standing around while our poor Lancer put up his shield in agony. Needless to say, there were four bodies on the ground while my camera was rotating during the mission neglect screen. If only we knew that we could practice the next tip...

Spring, man

The first time you repel the Behemoth, the Mog yous rescued volition tell you, "Oh yep, allow me teach you a gesture that might come in handy."

After that, yous will acquire the "Final Fantasy Xiv Leap" gesture.

What makes this motion, which mimics that famous Dragoon Jump from Concluding Fantasy, "handy?" The motion actually allows you to dodge Behemoth's Ecliptic Meteor. Seriously. Talk about a plumbing fixtures homage to the Concluding Fantasy series.

The catch is that you have to time it right. Basically, you'll want to striking that Bound as the Ecliptic Shooting star itself shows up onscreen and is most to hit the footing. You might wnt to save information technology to your Radial Cycle as well for easier access. For a visual guide, hither's a YouTube video of someone using the Jump emote or gesture to avoid the Ecliptic Meteor.

Zone ender

As Behemoth switches zones, he tin accept on of 2 paths.

One path has him moving through the lava zone, which requires you lot to pop a Cold Potable. The initial lava zone will exist tight and narrow only the last zone will be nice and wide, giving you more liberty of motion.

The 2d path has Behemoth going toward Nergigante's lair. The second-to-final zone is really nice and wide and provides several pillars for air attacks and mounting. Nergigante'south nest, however, is cramped and narrow, making information technology peculiarly important that you stay on top of canceling those tornadoes. I think flying back to camp to become more flash bombs, for example, but by the fourth dimension I entered the nest, it was filled with three or then tornadoes considering my teammates didn't cancel them. One guy ended upward carting twice and another guy carted once, causing us to fail what was an otherwise great chase up to that betoken.

Also, if you see that Behemoth is going the Nerg nest road, I recommend saving up your Temporal mantle for that last room.

Get broad?

You don't need a teammate with Wide Range to accept downwardly Behemoth. But boy, does it make the hunt easier for the squad. The well-nigh enjoyable hunt I had involved one teammate with Wide Range who healed when needed and also buffed and gave the states increased wellness recovery. That, combined with everyone bringing Lifepowders made the hunt go smoothly.

It's OK to retreat camp

If you find yourself running depression on items or materials, don't hesitate to get back to camp and restock. Even if you lot're still OK with supplies, it'southward not a bad idea to popular a Farcaster and fly back to camp if you detect yourself in a tough spot and take chances getting carted.

If you exercise go back to campsite, merely be careful when re-engaging. Yous don't want to waltz back into a fight only as Behemoth casts Ecliptic Falling star and you're also far to go to a boulder or can't run across the assail to properly time your Jump.
