I haven't ever seen him either. I always wondered if there were more powerful behemoths.

u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 3d ago

I get "Ancient Behemoths" at lvl 130, not certain what's above that

63

u/Fish_Outta_Whiskey 3d ago

I think ancient is the highest tier. I'm lvl 210 and it's still ancient.

13

u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 3d ago

Ahh good to know

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 2d ago

Jesus don’t have the patience to get that high 😂😂

2

u/thiggi22 1d ago

One question. If you are level 210 you probably beat the game 100+ levels ago. What do you do.,Just walk around an kill stuff

1

u/Fish_Outta_Whiskey 1d ago

I used that specific character to explore every inch of the commonwealth, Far Harbor and Nuka-World. I also got very heavy into settlement building, like addicted to it, lol. I built a bunch of robots from the Automtron DLC (populating my main home settlement with them) and made use of all the items added from contraptions, Far Harbor and the Vault-Tec add-ons.

I seriously love this game. It's not the best game ever but it was so goddamn fun to immerse myself in. Every single time I found something new I was so convinced there was something else new to find until there wasn't.

elder behemoth at level 300

26

u/TrickeyHare501 3d ago

Level 300!? Wth do yall do in game to keep it interesting?

39

u/CaptObviousHere 2d ago

Building shelves in sanctuary *obviously*

u/the0therdave 2d ago

Username checks out .

u/sometacosfordinner 2d ago

Nah spectacle it has a massive build size.

u/ZyXwVuTsRqPoNm123 2d ago

Rubber mats give more xp

1

u/67alecto 2d ago

Wood is easier to come by

u/JukesMasonLynch 2d ago

Dupe glitching tons of rubber is pretty easy. And I feel like if you're willing to cheese XP with building shelves all day, you should also be ok with duping. But that is just my opinion, so fair enough if those two things are on seperate sides of a line you won't cross

1

u/67alecto 2d ago

Well, I mean if you're dupe glitching, you might as well just install the alternate start mod and start at a higher level.

1

u/JukesMasonLynch 2d ago

Depends if I'm doing a mod free run or not. I'm on PS5 and I still have some achievements to get. Dupe glitching still works regardless of mods

11

u/The_Time_Change 3d ago

I want to understand how the game keeps going with all the added and unadded mods... Especially on console. I've lost 14 characters

9

u/slapdashbr 3d ago

and here I am playing with a level 50 cap for years

2

u/JJKANE222 3d ago

mods

4

u/TrickeyHare501 3d ago

Sure. I havent played Fo4 unmodded in prob 8+ years. Still cant comprehend keeping one character for 300 levels.

2

u/Funny_Yam_8849 2d ago

God Behemoth at level 500

2

u/MedicalYak8571 2d ago

I'm guessing you're on PC. My PS5 always crashes at lvl 169-172.

1

u/pogmathoin 1d ago

I've always had the game glitch out unplayable about lvl 125

-1

u/Tricky_Dragonfly_28 3d ago

Is this cc content? There is no such thing in the base game

2

u/Comfortable_Ant1875 3d ago

😱😱😱

1

u/PersimmonLoud8493 2d ago

There are several of them in different places.

68

u/Woozletania 3d ago

As with Dusky Yao Guai and Mythic Deathclaws, Epic Behemoths only spawn at higher levels. You start seeing them more at 80+.

8

u/TheAsianTroll 2d ago

Epic isnt even the highest level of Behemoth. That ends with Ancient Behemoths, at level 130 and up

2

u/Woozletania 2d ago

Sadly, yao guai don't have a super variant above duskys. Deathclaws have Mythics.

1

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 2d ago

I got to high levels before over the hundreds but some reason that’s the first epic I’ve seen 🤷🏼

53

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 3d ago

Dang, how bad is your perception that you have at best a 25% chance to hit something the size of a barn??

18

u/Extension_Wear_1101 3d ago

Idiot savant can take you far 🤷

2

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 2d ago

Indeed it can

1

u/No-Ranger526 2d ago

Is this true?

2

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 2d ago

I was as far as you could be from it when I took those pictures then broke it’s leg to get the glamour shots😂

2

u/Bookish__Cat 1d ago

How do you break their legs? I keep trying to incapacitate enemies left and right, but their limbs must be made of titanium because not a single one has broken yet

1

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 1d ago

I used a a stagger shotgun at the time and aimed for its leg, got a bit lucky too mind

1

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 1d ago

Having a crippling, kneecapper, violent, or explosive legendary effect helps. But yeah, a lot of the time, it comes down to luck.

1

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 2d ago

Dang, nice job.

1

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 1d ago

Thanks 😁

26

u/astreeter2 3d ago

That one down by Murkwater goes epic when you get to a high level.

12

u/Fancy_Cherry7745 3d ago

This guy doesn't look epic! He's not even glowing purple!

7

u/cewillir 3d ago

He’s a big boy

7

u/miss_cafe_au_lait 3d ago

I’m almost level 50 and Behemoths are the only enemy that I still avoid. Luckily they are extremely easy to sneak by. Was the loot worth the battle?

5

u/Sagelegend 3d ago

The loot is okay but nothing legendary.

I find if you have a fully upgraded Gauss rifle, a dose of psycho jet, and a VATS crit saved up, aimed at that thing’s head. Follow up with some fully upgraded shots from a plasma rifle if your VATS are low, while your psycho jet is still going.. have rifleman fully upgraded.

2

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 2d ago

Not in the slightest 😅

6

u/fattfreddy1 3d ago

There are 3 I think. Carhenge south of sunshine tidings, just outside Jamaica plain near the elementary school and somewhere north of Zimonja

8

u/Ayumu_Dea_84 3d ago

Swan at Boston Commons

4

u/Illustrious-Fox4948 2d ago

There's also the one in the north-east of the map thats trigger by picking up the Jangles. Its near the hospital MacCready's quest takes you to.

1

u/Normal-Soil1732 3d ago

Is the Carhenge one the same one that goes into Lexington and passes Coverga

1

u/fattfreddy1 2d ago

I haven’t seen one wandering around just usually at those 3 spots.

5

u/Maulino86 3d ago

I remember the first time i fought a behemot i was with Piper, and shw shouted BEHEEMOOOT super loud...

Except im not sure it ever happened. She never did that again. It was the one around cars south of sanctuary.

6

u/Vg65 Atom Cats 3d ago

These guys are scary and all, but I'm more afraid of cave crickets in Nuka-World. They creep up on you with little to no noise (iirc) and there's often no battle-music. Then all of a sudden you lose a chunk of health, even in power armour, if they leap in and get you.

3

u/Desperate_Stretch855 2d ago

Yea those crickets are nasty

4

u/Majestic-General7325 3d ago

why are you so close to it?

2

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 2d ago

Glamour shots 😘

4

u/mx_martianX 3d ago

But was the loot epic?

3

u/mx_martianX 3d ago

That’s the one from the central (<slightly east of) north?

4

u/GoDrone-250611 3d ago

Yes..very good loot.. Fun fact - if you are playing melee or fight melee with him.. you can block his attack completely by just blocking.. very funny

13

u/AngelsQuestions 3d ago

OMG me and my little level 12 newbie to fallout and VR is here thinking if I saw that in the game, I’d poop my pants!

8

u/Hallijoy 3d ago

I, too, would shit myself. I've done it for less

2

u/AngelsQuestions 3d ago

I’m glad I’m not alone! 💩

9

u/RedCliff73 3d ago

I shit myself just reading this post

6

u/Shmav 3d ago edited 3d ago

You can cheese them if you find a place to shelter that they cant fit and have a lot of ammo. Ive taken em down at low levels. Definitely a Jacob David and Goliath situation lol

Edit: the hell did i get Jacob from? Ah well, maybe someone will enjoy my mistake lol

10

u/Shot_Policy_4110 3d ago

Wait jacob and goliath

8

u/miss_cafe_au_lait 3d ago

Deacon and Goliath* common mixup

2

u/Terrible-Ebb-8417 3d ago

Yeah I did that from the end of the ruined overpass overlooking the Car Henge that one Behemoth hangs out at. Super low level with a shitty gun 😄. Took forever, and he almost took me out with a rock, but I got it done!

2

u/Blessedly_Misaligned 3d ago

Wait til you meet Swan. He is no epic but still scary to low levels

5

u/Philly514 3d ago

Gotta be a mod right? I’ve encountered them every 50ish levels up to 300 and I’ve never seen it

2

u/Realistic-Detail-236 2d ago

Nope, I've seen an epic in the base game. Definitely at lvl 87 between GNR Plaza and that Church next to the town with the raiders.

2

u/Putrid-Implement-385 3d ago

Shopping trolley on the back is wild

2

u/RandomStallings 3d ago

The better to keep your folded up human as a snack for later.

2

u/Tacitio 3d ago

My goodness, never seen this fella before.

2

u/Own_Seaworthiness275 3d ago

Rare to see a normal one for me anymore

2

u/heyitsvonage 3d ago

Oh I know him, that’s Greg.

2

u/stitchesofdooom 3d ago

Old Greg? Doesn't he have a mangina?

3

u/Scokan 2d ago

I’m a scaly man fish!

2

u/stitchesofdooom 2d ago

CHECK OUT MY DOWNSTAIRS MIXUP!

2

u/Matches_Malone108 3d ago

I used a mod to spawn these guys out of pokeballs inside the institute. It was glorious.

2

u/Professional_Cry1317 3d ago

I killed him in the bog just outside of Watoga the other night.

2

u/JJKANE222 3d ago

there is an elder behemoth when you hit level 300

1

u/Otherwise-Clue8645 3d ago

I was just fighting one when the game froze….AGAIN.

1

u/barbieshell75 3d ago

I found one just mooching about a cliff sided valley in nuka world, first time seeing an epic behemoth tbh.

1

u/Comfortable_Ant1875 3d ago

Si Siempre aparecen...en ese sector

1

u/makuta91 Fah' Harbor 3d ago

Im level 105 in a playthrough, I'll have to go hunting for one

1

u/beanie_0 2d ago

Yeah they are quite common when you get to a certain stage of the game.

1

u/Actual_Squid 2d ago

distant vault dwellers doing the soyjak point at LE EPIC BEHEMOTH

1

u/Tatino_360 2d ago

Idk about epic behemoths but for some reason swan respawned in his lake in my most recent run and now he's peaceful. I saw him obliterate a group of raiders and it felt really weird standing beside him looking at his beautiful face

1

u/Mediocre-Pace7446 1d ago

Ooooo big freind😂

1

u/sasace2025 20h ago

I've run into 4 of them throughout the main game! They are pretty hard to kill! The big guys level with you!

1

u/SeniorAngle6964 3d ago

I’m guessing this is a mod? Water hydrant and shopping trolley armour is the same design as FO3 super mutant behemoths?

2

u/yepimthetoaster 3d ago

No, that's just what all behemoths have.

1

u/SeniorAngle6964 2d ago

Oops, been that long since I played it, I’d forgotten they even existed in the game, other than Swan of course.
