![]() ![]() The game is also very good aurally, with pumping battle music, thumping impacts and growling monsters all present and correct. Another plus is that gathering a Hunting Party is an absolute breeze, compared to that other game where you hunt monsters, which was an unbelievable faff. See, at the start of each hunt, you have three self revive potions, but once they are gone, you can only be revived by a team mate, so it’s always worth taking backup. Of course, if you want the ultimate challenge, you can choose to go one on one with the Behemoths, but on later levels this usually doesn’t end well. Cross-play and cross-chat all work fantastically, and the player base of the game is also very healthy, with no issues in finding a team to join. It has fully fledged cross-play working brilliantly, and it’s normal for each hunt team to be split between Xbox and PC players, which causes absolutely no problems. Mentioning the team, as I did above, and this is arguably the most impressive part of Dauntless on Xbox One. Of course, the Behemoths object to being smacked about with pointy lumps of metal, so learning attack patterns, when to dodge and when to tank a hit are all part of the skill. This method will net the most resources, but broken parts of a Behemoth are more vulnerable to damage, so if you are getting stomped it’s best to just try and take the monster out as fast as possible. Chopping their tail off will stop them attacking with it, in addition to providing you with resources, so it makes sense to try and work on one section of the beast at once until it breaks, before moving to the next. The grind for some of these parts is very long though – at least if you base it on trying to complete the Volomyr Radiant armour set – but it’s a testament to the game and the fun to be had that it never feels like it’s too much effort.Įach Behemoth has four areas that you can attack – head, tail, and right and left sides. Each type of Behemoth has an armour set and weapons associated with it too, that you need parts to craft. ![]() So as you can see, with two or three different Behemoths in each category, there is no shortage of things to hunt. The Behemoths come in Blaze, Frost, Shock, Terra, Umbral and Radiant flavours, in addition to Neutral ones that don’t have any particular strengths or weaknesses. So in the example of the Pangar, you’ll need an Embermane weapon, and Pangar armour. In order to fight them most efficiently, you need to use the opposing element weapon, and the same elemental armour. For instance, Pangars are Ice Behemoths, and Embermanes are Fire Behemoths. The Behemoths themselves are an interesting bunch, with a strong identity to each type, and an almost Pokemon-esque elemental typing to them. So now it’s a case of them or us, and the scene is set for a series of increasingly difficult battles against stronger and stronger Behemoths. Now, these Behemoths wouldn’t be too bad, in a live and let live kind of way, if it wasn’t for the fact that they eat aether, the very stuff that we need to keep the islands in the air. The main town – Ramsgate – and the islands themselves are under threat from Behemoths that have come out of the Maelstrom. The Shattered Isles, where we have our base of operations, are a series of floating islands in the sky, and the reason they stay up is because of a substance called aether. First things first, the story, such as it is.
