Dauntless behemoths are dangerous, hulking beasts that feed off the land’s aether to become stronger. Slayers (players) must hunt these monsters to harvest their parts and upgrade their equipment. Dauntless behemoths seem to be naturally occuring throughout The Shattered Islands.
There are 8 types of Dauntless Behemoths, each with its unique strengths and weaknesses. We will discuss all of them in our Slayer’s Guide to Dauntless Behemoths and, hopefully, give you the tools you need to defeat them.
- Neutral Behemoths
- Blaze Behemoths
- Frost Behemoths
- Shock Behemoths
- Terra Behemoths
- Radiant Behemoths
- Umbral Behemoths
Neutral Dauntless Behemoths
1. Gnasher
The Gnasher is the first behemoth encounter in Dauntless. You may be tempted to call it weak or pathetic. Don’t get too cocky. Its higher difficulty variants will flatten you in a moment’s notice.
This aether-feeding mix between a mammal and reptilian uses powerful tail attacks to destroy its enemies and its huge teeth to bite into unlucky slayers. At the highest difficulty, the Gnasher also causes tremors while furiously slamming its tail to the ground.
Drops:
- Gnasher: Gnasher Hide, Ragetooth (break head), Gnasher Shinplate (break leg), Sharpened Slapper (sever tail),
- Ragetail Gnasher: Gnasher Hide, Sharpened Slapper (sever tail), Gnasher Shinplate (break leg), Ragetooth (break head), Grievance Dye (heroic variant), Furious Ragescale, and Ragesoul Shard.
Gnasher Behemoth Variants:
| Lesser Gnasher | Gnasher | Ragetail Gnasher | Heroic Ragetail Gnasher | |
| Threat level | 1 | 3 | 9 | 13 |
| Recommended power | 50 / 50 | 100/100 | 325/325 | 425/425 |
2. Shrike
Like most monsters in the Dauntless universe, the Shrike is a hybrid between a buffed up eagle and an owl. Despite common misconceptions, the Shrike doesn’t actually hoot.
Dauntless’s favorite winged behemoth owl skulks the island and creates localized vortexes to scare its enemies. It also uses its huge wings and razor-sharp talons to dive towards its prey from above, crushing anything that dares stand in its way.
The Shrike is one of the most challenging behemoths in Dauntless, due mostly in part to its incredible speed, erratic movement patterns, and unnatural strength.
On a positive note, the Shrike can easily be booped when it glides towards a slayer. Striking the Shrike’s underbelly as it dives will cause it to stumble and become dazed for a few precious seconds.
The behemoth’s most popular variants include the Rogue Shrike, which has no unique strengths or elements and wanders around the Sheltered Frontier, the regular Shrike, which is a medium-difficulty encounter that can be found around the Yonder Keys and the Monstrous Verge, and the Moonreaver Shrike, which is the hardest of the three and can be found in The Maelstrom.
Drops:
- Shrike: Torn Shrikefeather, Razor beak (break head), Shrike Tailfeather (sever tail), Shrikedown (break leg), Shrike Bladefeather (break wing).
- Moonreaver Shrike: Torn hrikefeather, Pristine Moonfeather, Windsoul Shard, Shrike Tailfeather (sever tail), Shrikedown (break leg), Shrike Bladefeather (break wing), Razor Beak (break head), and Plume Dye for the heroic variant.
Players can also obtain exotic reagents by completing challenges such as Neutral Skullgems, Clawgems, Tailgems, Furytooth, Furyplate, or Furytail by killing the behemoth while enraged or under two minutes.
Shrike Behemoth Variants:
| Shrike | Moonreaver Shrike | Moonreaver Shrike Heroic | |
| Threat level | 4 | 9 | 14 |
| Recommended power | 150/150 | 325/325 | 450/450 |
3. Quillshot
The Quillshot is basically a porcupine that has been fed steroids all its life. According to Dauntless lore, it metabolizes raw ether and transforms it into spikes.
The behemoth uses its beefy arms and huge tail to crush its enemies. It will also periodically shoot its spikes at the slayers, pinning them down if they stay in one spot for too long. During a Quillshot encounter it’s vital to keep moving at all times. The monster shoots its quills into the air, which will come down in a hail of shards faster than a mob of angry customers on Black Friday.
“What I could see of the creature was like an enormous cat, covered in leathery hide with a spiked frill and a single huge horn on its snout. It slipped back into the trees with a roar that shook the air itself and disoriented us all. The behemoth seemed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once.”
Source: In-game description, “Death from the Shadows”
Depending on your build or weapon of choice, you can tackle the Quillshot from melee range, while looking for the stun, or shoot from afar while dogging the spikes. The Behemoth’s spikes can be easily broken to prevent it from using them later in the fight.
Breaking the spikes will also leave it in a vulnerable state. The behemoths has two variants: the regular Quillshot can be found wandering around The Yonder Keys and Monstrous Verge, while the scary Deadeye Quillshot skulls around The Shattered Isles and the Maelstrom.
Drops:
- Quillshot: Quillshot Hide, Jagged Tailspike (sever tail), Dewspine (break leg), Quillshot Tusk (break head), Quillshard (break quills).
- Deadeye Quillshot: Vicious dye (slay heroic variant), Impaler Shard, Deadeye Spinehide, and all the previous drops.
| Quillshot | Deadeye Quillshot | Heroic Deadeye Quillshot | |
| Threat level | 5 | 12 | 14 |
| Recommended power | 200/200 | 400/400 | 450/450 |
Blaze Dauntless Behemoths
4. Embermane
Embermane is the first encounter with a blaze behemoth in Dauntless. It is also responsible for the destruction of many woodlands within the Shattered Isles. This monster is yet another hybrid between a puppy and a rhino.
Thanks to it’s slender build, the Embermane is fast, agile, and almost impossible to pin down. The only way to stagger the Embermane is by booping it during its charge attack. This behemoth is always moving, scurrying back and forth while trying to launch the slayer into the air with its horns.
To survive an encounter with an Embermane at lower levels slayers must time their boops and dodges perfectly.
At later stages of the game the Embermane becomes incredibly easy to take down. Honestly, downing the Embermane feels like abusing a puppy, especially when it lets out cries of pain.
Any part of the Embermane’s body is breakable, but we advise caution when fighting melee because the behemoth will often perform a spinning attack using its tail.
The Embermane has three variants. The Rogue Embermane wanders the Sheltered Frontier, the regular Embermane can be found in The Yonder Keys, and the Bloodfire Embermane lurks the Maelstrom zone.
Drops:
- Embermane: Embermane Hide, Burning Tailspike (sever tail), Smoked Dewclaw (break leg), Savage Hooktooth (break head), Emberhorn (break horn).
- Bloodfire Embermane: Smoldering Bloodhide, Bloodsoul shard, Bloodfire dye (heroic variant), and all previous drops.
| Embermane | Bloodfire Embermane | Heroic Bloodfire Embermane | |
| Threat level | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| Recommended power | 200/200 | 350/350 | 475/475 |
| Weak against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor | |
| Strong against | Fire weapons | Frost armor |
5. Charrogg
Number two on our list of blaze behemoths is the Charrog, or what I like to call: “the walking furnace.” The Charrog looks a lot like a turtle that ate too much lava and is not spewing it from every bodily orifice.
This formidable foe feeds on blaze energy and then uses it to launch cruel jets of flame in all directions. Like all blaze behemoths, the Charrog is weak to frost weapons.
Despite the fact that the Charrog is slow, it will constantly spin in circular motions while ejecting fire in all directions. It’s therefore critical for slayers to attack its underbelly. If possible, I also recommend aiming for the head to increase the chances of staggering it or dealing some extra damage.
This behemoth has two notable variants: the normal Charrogg has a red glowing underbelly and brown color and can be found around The Yonder Keys, while the Firebrand Charrog skulks The Maelstrom for its next meal.
Drops:
- Charrog: Charrog Scale, Smouldering Tailspike (sever tail), Scorched Rockhide (break leg), Burned Gillhide (break firesac), Smoldering Horn (break head),
- Firebrand Charrog: Charrog Scale, Smoldering Firebrand Scale, Lumbering Flamesoul Shard, all previous rewards, and Smoulder Dye (heroic variant).
| Charrogg | Firebrand Charrogg | Heroic Firebrand Charrogg | |
| Threat level | 4 | 8 | 13 |
| Recommended power | 150/150 | 300/300 | 425/425 |
| Weak against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor | |
| Strong against | Fire weapons | Frost armor |
6. Hellion
Hellion is the largest of the blaze behemoths and, in my opinion, one of the most difficult encounters in Dauntless. Similar to the Pangar in terms of design, the Hellion activates small pools of magma on the battlefield, making it super hard to dodge its attacks.
As if this wasn’t enough, it also loves rolling and catapulting itself in the air to crush unprepared targets. Apart from using weapons with frost elements, slayers can also equip mods that spawn fire immunity buffs.
This buff is invaluable for surviving the lava pools. Slicing the Hellion’s tail will also drop small orange orbs that slayers can pick up for a short spell immunity buff.
Drops:
- Hellion: Hellhide, Charred Tailplate (sever tail), Burned Hindscale (break leg), Charred Browplate (break head).
- Scorchstone Hellion: Scorchscale, Hellstone Shard, all previous rewards, and Wildfire Dye (heroic variant).
| Hellion | Scorchstone Hellion | Heroic Scorchstone Hellion | |
| Threat level | 7 | 10 | 15 |
| Recommended power | 275/275 | 400/400 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor | |
| Strong against | Fire weapons | Frost armor |
Frost Dauntless Behemoths
Congratulations, you’ve made it halfway through our Dauntless behemoths list. Next up we have frost behemoths. All frost behemoths are weak to blaze weapons. Slayers will also get better protection from their attacks by equipping frost armor.
7. Boreous
The mighty Boreus is, probably, one of the most annoying behemoths in Dauntless. It comes in 4 variants: Lesser Boreus, Boreus, Dreadfrost Boreus, and Heroic Dreadfrost Boreus. Even in its weakest form it can dominate minions with its psionic force.
The Boreous surrounds himself in a shield of frost that makes him almost impenetrable to attacks.
During this phase he also spawns a pack of beastly minions (winged dragon welps) that can manipulate frost aether to attack the slayer.
You must kill these minions in order to receive a charged attack that can go through Boreus’s frost armor. At higher levels (Dreadfrost Boreous and up), the minions become like an extension of the boss, drawing their master’s strength and launching relentless attacks on the slayers.
Drops:
- Boreus: Boreous Hide, Icy Hindscale (tail break), Hoof Chip (leg break), Horn Fragment (head break),
- Dreadfrost Boreus: Psionic Scale, Dreadfrost Shard, all previous rewards, and Dominion Dye.
| Lesser Boreus | Boreus | Dreadfrost Boreous | Heroic Dreadfrost Boreus | |
| Threat level | 3 | 6 | 9 | 15 |
| Recommended power | 100/100 | 250/250 | 325/325 | 465/475 |
| Weak against | Blaze weapons | Frost armor | ||
| Strong against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor |
8. Skraev
Initially, the Skraev looked a lot like the Shrike. This particular behemoth was redesigned by the developers, and although it is in many ways similar to its original form, there are a few notable differences.
The Skraev can be found in the wintery plains of The Yonder Keys. This beast uses frost attacks, summons ice-cold tornadoes, creates deadly ice-spike paths, and activates ice forts to protect itself from attacks. It also has a particularly annoying defense mechanism where it summons an ice-storm with reduced visibility.
For Slayers who have experience in killing the Shrike, the Skraev won’t be a very difficult challenge. Aim for the underbelly or strike at the tail to break pieces and stagger the beast. There are two main variants for this behemoth: the normal Skraev and the Winterhorn Skraev.
Drops:
- Skraev: Skraev Feather, Skraev Tailfeather (sever tail), Chillclaw (break leg), Frostwing Shardfeather (break wing), Shattered Frostbeak (break head).
- Winterhorn Skraev: Frostmantle, Iceshatter Shard, all previous rewards, and Sagacity Dye.
| Skraev | Winterhorn Skraev | Heroic Winterhorn Skraev | |
| Threat level | 4 | 11 | 16 |
| Recommended power | 150/150 | 375/375 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Blaze weapons | Frost armor | |
| Strong against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor |
9. Pangar
The last frost behemoth on our list is the Pangar. This heavy hitter loves stomping enemies that come too close.
Staying too far won’t do slayers any good either, as the Pangar will curl into a ball and launch itself at unsuspecting slayers. Slayers shouldn’t get too comfortable with the Pangar, because it will periodically spice up its attack patterns.
There are two variants of the Pangar: the regular Pangar that has a blue-ish purple body and can be located in The Uncharted Reaches, and the Frostback Pangar, the larger variant, which skulks The Shattered Isles and The Maelstrom.
Drops:
- Panger: Pangar Scale, Frosted Tailplate (sever tail), Frozen Hindplate (break leg), Icy Browplate (break head).
- Frostback Pangar: Icy Shard, Icy Frostback Scale, all previous rewards, and Subzero Dye.
| Pangar | Frostback Pangar | Heroic Frostback Pangar | |
| Threat level | 7 | 11 | 15 |
| Recommended power | 275/275 | 375/375 | 475/475 |
| Weak against | Blaze weapons | Frost armor | |
| Strong against | Frost weapons | Blaze armor |
Shock Dauntless Behemoths
10. Drask
The gnarly Drask is the first shock behemoth that slayers will encounter in their adventure through The Shattered Isles. The Drask uses its long tail and violent movements to crush enemies. There’s not much to say about the Drask. It’s a low level behemoth whose purpose is to ease new slayers into the mechanics of shock behemoths.
The Drask is easy to kill with any type of weapon, but a good strategy is to focus on its legs until they break. Although the Drask is naturally weak to terra weapons, it also shows an unusual weakness to fire elements.
Drops:
- Lesser Drask: Drask Hide, Electroscale (break tail), Jagged Sparkscale (break leg), Fractal Eyetooth (break head),
- Drask: Thundering Scale, Thundersoul Shard, all previous rewards.
| Lesser Drask | Drask | |
| Threat level | 2 | 7 |
| Recommended power | 75/75 | 275/275 |
| Weak against | Terra weapons | Shock armor |
| Strong against | Shock weapons | Terra armor |
11. Nayzaga
The Nayzaga is a shock behemoth that can be found in The Uncharted Reaches of Dauntless. I find shock behemoths very annoying in general, but this Quillshit wannabe takes the cake. This buffed-up mofo uses slicing close-range attacks and tail swipes to weaken its opponents.
Its heavy attacks are also bolstered by the shock elemental spikes that latch into the ground and periodically conduct electric bolts, which target the player.
Each electric spike will generate one bolt and we advise slayers to clear the spikes from the battlefield, unless they have a passion for getting zapped.
On the plus side, the bolts can also be maneuvered to hit the Nayzaga itself. This will stun it for a while making it vulnerable to attacks.
The Nayzaga has two variants: the regular Nayzaga which has a blue body and yellow spikes, and the Shockjaw Nayzaga, with its red body and greenish spikes. The latter can be found in The Maelstrom.
Drops:
- Nayzaga: Nayzaga Chitin, Sparkspine (sever tail), Sparkclaw (break limbs), Shocktooth (break head).
- Shockjaw Nayzaga: Conductive Shockspine, Shockheart Shard, Rockstar Dye (heroic variant), and all the previous drops.
| Nayzaga | Shockjaw Nayzaga | Heroic Shockjaw Nayzaga | |
| Threat level | 5 | 11 | 15 |
| Recommended power | 200/200 | 375/375 | 475/475 |
| Weak against | Terra weapons | Shock armor | |
| Strong against | Shock weapons | Terra armor |
12. Stormclaw
Without wanting to bash Dauntless, I have to say that many of its behemoths are similar to one another. The Nayzaga looks similar to the Quillshot, the Skraev looks almost the same as the Shrike, and the Stormclaw is strangely similar to the Embermane. Like its blaze “brother,” the Stormclaw is also quick on its feet.
In an encounter, this behemoth will run around the battlefield and lay down electrified traps and follow with a spinning tail attack or claw swipe.
Fun fact: the Stormclaw is the only behemoth that doesn’t have a stagger animation. This, coupled with the fact that the Stormclaw is incredibly restless, makes every hit very difficult.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Stormclaw will periodically launch bolts of lightning at the players. Timing a hit on the bolt will send it back from whence it came and if the bolt hits the Stormclaw, it will get damaged.
Drops:
- Stormclaw & Tempestborne Stormclaw: Stormclaw Hide, Voltscale, Stormheart Shard, Capacitail (break tail), Volthoof (break limbs), Glinttooth (break head), Conductive Antler (break antlers).
| Stormclaw | Tempestborne Stormclaw | Heroic Tempestborne Stormclaw | |
| Threat level | 6 | 12 | 16 |
| Recommended power | 250/250 | 400/400 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Terra weapons | Shock armor | |
| Strong against | Shock weapons | Terra armor |
Terra Dauntless Behemoths
13. Skarn
Skarn is the first Terra behemoth encounter in Dauntless. For some reason, it’s also one of my favorite fights in the game. The Skarn is a huge beast that controls rock chunks as armor or offensive weapons.
The behemoth will periodically curp up into a ball, and use gravity to rotate the rocks around its body. This creates a powerful vortex that will suck slayers in and deal huge damage upon impact.
The vortex may be the Skarn’s scariest attack, but it is also one that can be easily booped. Time your stagger as you are getting sucked in to topple the beast for a few precious seconds.
The Skarn will also shed its rocky armor from time to time, making it vulnerable to attacks. Take advantage of this opportunity to fire up your lantern and land some powerful hits on its head or legs. The best weapons for this fight are the hammer because it’s stupidly easy to land the book with it, and the chain blades because they provide great mobility.
Drops:
- Skarn: Rockscale, Stone Fragments (break armor), Stony Hide (break limbs), Browscale (break head),
- Rockfall Skarn: Adamantine Scale, Stoneheart Shard, all previous rewards, and Unbreakable Dye (heroic variant).
| Skarn | Rockfall Skarn | Heroic Rockfall Skarn | |
| Threat level | 3 | 8 | 13 |
| Recommended power | 100/100 | 300/300 | 425/425 |
| Weak against | Shock weapons | Terra armor | |
| Strong against | Terra weapons | Shock armor |
14. Kharabak
The Kharabak is an agile beast that prefers aerial over land attacks. It will often slam slayers into the ground and slice them up with its blades before they have time to recover.
The Kharabak can also turn completely invisible and surprise its enemies at close range. Slightly unrelated, but worth mentioning, is that this fight in particular is almost impossible for colorblind players.
Like many behemoths, the Kharabak can be booped during its long-ranged aerial attack. Simply slice upwards towards the behemoth’s face as it starts to charge with its claws through the ground.
The Kharabak has two variants, which are weak to shock and blaze damage. The regular Kharabak has turquoise snippers attached to an orange body and can be found in the Underworld region of The Uncharted Reaches. The stronger variant, Razorwing Kharabak, has a longer tail and purple body and can be found in The Maelstrom.
Drops:
- Kharabak: Kharabak Chitin, Deadly Ovipositor (break tail), Claw Shell Fragment (break limbs), Deadly Incisor (break head),
- Razorwing Kharabak: Sleek Razorwing Chitin, Assassin Soul Shard, all previous rewards, and Progenitor Dye (heroic variant).
| Kharabak | Razorwing Kharabak | Heroic Razorwing Kharabak | |
| Threat level | 6 | 10 | 14 |
| Recommended power | 250/250 | 350/350 | 450/450 |
| Weak against | Shock weapons | Terra armor | |
| Strong against | Terra weapons | Shock armor |
15. Koshai
The last and most memorable Terra behemoth is the Koshai. I really liked this encounter because it is fairly unique compared to the others. The Koshai uses fascinating plant-based attacks to protect itself from slayers, including a hail of thorns that he can command from afar, and vines that it can crawl into for defence.
Drops: Aether Thorn, Vital Thorn, Thornsoul Shard, Splintered Antler (break antlers), Vinetooth (break head), Bramblespur (break limb), Caudal Thorn (sever tail), Sovereign Dye (heroic variant).
| Koshai | Heroic Koshai | |
| Threat level | 10 | 16 |
| Recommended power | 350/350 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Shock weapons | Terra armor |
| Strong against | Terra weapons | Shock armor |
Radiant Dauntless Behemoths
16. Valomyr
I never thought I’d say that an overgrown beetle can be beautiful, but the first time I saw the Valomyr in the game, that is exactly what came to mind. Dauntless’s art style lends itself very well to magical encounters and, despite Valomyr’s clumsy physique, the entire fight is a treat for the eyes. That’s because the behemoth summons dozens of colorful lights and creates mirrors to protect itself from slayers. It feels like fighting inside a rainbow.
Anyway, getting back to the actual game: Valomyr isn’t a difficult hunt. The behemoth is quite slow. It fires beams of light from his body and constantly teleports away from the slayer.
The most difficult part of the fight is running left to right, just to get back to Valomyr. As a radiant behemoth, Valomyr is weak against umbral weapons. I recommend using high-mobility weapons, like the chain blades, to quickly dodge through the light beams and break its shields.
Drops: Valomyr Hide, Fractal Hide, Galactic Shard, Unstable Tailspike (sever tail), Radiant Dewclaw (break legs), Protean Fang (break head), Apocalypse Horn (break horns), Opalescence dye (heroic variant).
| Valomyr | Heroic Valomyr | |
| Threat level | 8 | 16 |
| Recommended power | 300/300 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Umbral weapons | Radiant Armor |
| Strong against | Radiant weapons | Umbral armor |
17. Rezakiri
In typical Dauntless fashion, the Kharabak has a nearly identical counterpart, and its name is Rezakiri. This dragonfly-esque monster projects colorful beams of light to damage slayers. Like the Valomyr, it is weak to umbral damage. The encounter is challenging because the Rezakiri levitates most of the time. Slayers must attack its tail furiously to stagger it and make it fall to the ground.
Although the instinct is to dodge away from its light beams, I recommend running towards them. This will quickly get you into position for your next hits.
The Rezakiri only has one variant, which can be found in the proximity of The Shattered Isles and The Maelstrom.
Drops: Rezakiri Chitin, Luminescent Chitin, Cataclysm Shard, Cracked Biocrystal (head), Radiant Biocrystal (head), Radiant Aethergem (tailgem), Lustrous Taiplate (tail), Supernova Dye (heroic variant).

| Weak against | Shock weapons | Terra armor |
| Strong against | Terra weapons | Shock armor |
Umbral Dauntless Behemoths
18. Riftstalker
Third to last on our list of Dauntless behemoths is the stealthy Riftstalker. This behemoth is a hybrid between a bat and a cat. Umbral behemoths are generally harder than any other Dauntless class and the Rifstalker can prove to be a real challenge even to the most experienced slayer.
The Rifstalker uses portals to quickly move between locations and will often wind-up lightning speed charge attacks. It also has an interesting mechanic that teleports slayers into a bubble of darkness, dotted with portals, from which it will randomly pounce. The Riftstalker is weak to radiant damage.
Make sure you know what you’re getting into before challenging this behemoth by equipping your best in slot armor, preferably umbral.
Drops: Rifthide, Unstable Nullhide, Riftsoul Shard, Nightbringer Riftspike (sever tail), Rending Voidclaw (break leg), Apex Riftfang (break head), Riftborn (heroic variant).
| Riftstalker | Heroic Riftstalker | |
| Threat level | 9 | 16 |
| Recommended power | 325/325 | 500/500 |
| Weak against | Radiant weapons | Umbral armor |
| Strong against | Umbral weapons | Radiant armor |
19. Shrowd
One of the biggest and baddest Dauntless beasts, and the strongest behemoth in the Umbral roster is the Shrowd. This juggernaut should only be approached at the later stages of the game by extremely experienced slayers.
Stock up on health tonics and buffs, because Shrowd will engulf you in cocoons of darkness and separate you from the team. Also make sure you stay alert throughout the fight if you want to survive.
Whenever the Shrowd charges, try dodging between its legs and attacking immediately after. The Shrowd only has one known variant, at threat level 17, which can be found in The Maelstrom area.
Drops:
- Shrowd Feather, Corrupted Voidfeather, Nightmare Shard, Dark Tailfeather (break tail), Twisted Shadowspur (break leg), Dark Bladefeather (break wings), Darkbeak Fragment (break head), Eclipse dye (heroic variant).
| Shrowd | ||
| Threat level | 17 | |

| Strong against | Umbral weapons | Radiant armor |
20. Malkarion
The last behemoth on our list, Malkarion, was added to the game less than 24 hours ago. All we know about it so far is that it’s a quick-striking sky serpent that uses lightning to level its foes.
“We have all heard the legends of the First Slayer and their battle against the “storm dragon” known as the Malkarion. An impossible beast, we believed: an exaggerated description of an ancient Behemoth, but not something that ever truly existed (…) It was inevitable we would learn that the Malkarion, like so many of the recent Behemoth discoveries, was no myth. And while broken island chains riddled with archonite lodestones may be what lured the species out of the Maelstrom’s heart, once it spreads its wings there will be no place safe from its power. Yes, the Malkarion are very real – and an existential threat to the Shattered Isles.”
All Dauntless behemoths drop materials that can be used to forge gear with unique properties. Malkarion’s gear ability is to teleport the slayer to a behemoth and deal instant shock damage. This spell can only be performed once.
Drops: Voltaic Scale, Peerless Stormplate, Shard of the Eternal Storm, Electric Tailspear (sever tail), Malkarion Clawhide (break limbs), Jagged Shocktooth (break head).
Conclusion:
This concludes our guide to all Dauntless behemoths. Hopefully the tips we shared will help you master your next hunt and harvest the parts that you need! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
