Seriously. WOW.
Never got far enough into the main story to uh. Encounter one.
I thought overlords were bad....



God that was bad ass.
And go figure right. It turns to ash when it has ONE bar of life >_>
*Throws laser pistol at a wall*

Lmao.

just so you know, energy weapons only turn stuff to ash or goo if the final kill shot is a critical. It isn't some random auto kill feature. So of course it happened on its last bar of health, because after that you scored a critical hit and it was a kill shot.

So don't throw your laser pistol at the wall! Thank it for an epic ending to your first behemoth fight.


I remember my first encounter with that same mutant. I didn't know I needed to grab the fat man, or what one was even. So I proceeded to grab a regular Assault rifle and unload into the thing while running backwards. I killed it (with help from by brotherhood buddies). I think I was on easy or very easy difficulty though lol. I had only been playing for a few hours so I started it easier.

OMG! I HEARD HER SAY "GRAB THE FAT MAN" I thought she was talking to her little brotherhood friends! Ugh! *face palm*. I used like half my laser pistol ammo and like 6 grenades lmao.
But it's nice to know how the vaporize thing works. Stupid behemoth. XD

Yeah, it's a pretty easy kill if you grab the Fat Man. I didn't realize what I was supposed to do at first and had my butt handed to me, but now after 3 blasts the thing is toast. I blew myself a few times using the Fat Man though, until I got used to how it aims. It's a bit different than a normal weapon, you need to use an arc or else the Mini-Nuke will blow up right at your feet, taking you with it. You also want to be careful not to catch any BoS people in the blast since they might turn hostile on you if you do. You need to take down the Behemoth quickly before it has the chance to move towards the BoS positions.

I remember him, it was rather awesome, bottlecap mines helped alot. Then I finished him off with my mighty hunting rifle.
I never knew that there was a fatman close to him O-o

Haha and @killer

I went back after like 4-5 days in-game and looted all the dead brotherhood guys, and found 8 mini nukes and the fatman.
What a haul o.o

Oh wow, my current character has about 20 mini nukes and he has not done the MQ lol, I also randomly found the fatman, but since he never uses heavy weapons I think i might sell them, i do want to use the miss launcher that he found.

*Waves hand* come into my game and give them to me then XD.
Im going heavy, explosives and energy weapons so. Fat Man is going to be one of my fav weapons to use haha

I'll lob some over, btw im not responsible if they explode ,

I'll get Moira to go catch them.
SHE can be in danger for onces :angry:

I've dealt with all the behemoths and I gotta say

Never expected that and it made me the happiest man on the world for about 4 minutes.

Be careful on how much you use it though. Ammo is a rare find, and to buy it costs several hundred per nuke.

After a while caps will no longer be a big deal

Yeah, he sure surprised me all to hell. My character never ran so fast in his life. That's when I discovered that Behemoths are actually quite easy to kill. They have all have a specific range that they'll travel and they won't go beyond that. So if you just stay out of that range, you can whittle them down at your leisure, provided you have enough bullets. With Teddy, I went to the roof of that electronics store and just kept firing away at him. All he did was pace back and forth while I gradually wore him down. I didn't have much .32 ammo left when it was over though.

With my current melee based build I'm going to try going toe to toe in melee combat with a behemoth lol. Once I get a higher DR and the pyromaniac perk to make the shishkebab all the more awesome that is.

I remember the time I encountered a Behemoth at LV 6 man that was a hard battle. I won the fight but I'm not making that mistake ever again. :celebration:

I did it at Level 6 without Brotherhood help -

Used up just about every bit of ammo I had and all but broke an assault rifle and a combat shotgun, but I beat him. :celebration:

If you're on the PC you can use the MMM mod (Matigen's Mutant Mod). That adds Supermutant Gargantuans, aptly described as "the guy the Behemoth goes to when he runs home to mummy,"

I actually killed him quiet easily without Fat Man. Gauss Rifle knocks the guy down. So I just kept shooting while and he never was up for more then a second. It was kind of funny to see that huge thing knocked down so easily.

Can't wait to see it!!! :mohawk:

it was years ago when i first encountered the behemoth. It like a small pride when you already played first person shooters in an expert rank in most games. So my feeling is like 'Whoally macaroni, FINALLY someone worth fighting in fo3!'

Using fat man is a no-no to me, i fought him with stock weapons and exercised my long time mouse maneuvering ability. Evading, shooting and in the long run i find the behemoth's attack pattern relative (if you're an first person shooter gamer like me, you know what i am talking about, yes first person shooters depends on how speedy your eyes can catch).

In the end its a no bearing game, the AI of the behemoth is not good in my perception. He made a good stand though :toughninja:

With MMM they sometimes spawn... sometime after I first came to Rivet city I was walking towards Jefferson Memorial... I have my game modded with BoS Patrols and MTC Travellers...

I seen laser fire in the distance so I took my 3 SCC companions (Lucy West, Karen Schenzy, Khutz(RIP he died last night *sad panda*) all of a sudden i seen some mutants rush the brothers and seen the travellers flee and all of a sudden the big mother behemoth came charging in... I see brotherhood paladins flying in the air... I ran but Khutz(big gun specialist also very tall) stood his ground and ran up to the big guy...

i was like omg you idiot... he got knocked back... thougth he was dead... I jump in the water (bad idea FWE kills me) all of a sudden Khutz gets up... turns out he was looting a minigun... he mowed that thing down with the remaining paladins and me hiding behind a rock like a punk...

damn shame he was killed by a roaming talon patrol sniper...

Thats a cool way to beat the behemoth. The behemoth I was refering to was the one thats southwest of Jury Metro the place where you find the Unique Chinese Assault Rifle. Never again am I making that mistake of taking him on at a low level.

I found my first one yesterday. It must have taken me an hour to kill it, using about 8 missles, and a ton of other stuff.

It was strange though. As someone else said it this thread, they don't seem to move out of their pre-set pattern. So it just kept walking back and forth until I had patiently whittled it down.

I had found a Fat Man (Nagasaki reference in case anybody didn't catch it), but I don't have any ammo for it yet.

They're easy to kill at level 30. LOL
