Behemoth (mutant)



The Behemoth is a giant, 30-foot tall super mutant living in the ruins of Washington, DC. The Fallout 3 achievements list suggests that there will be more than one wandering around the wasteland. There are in fact five in total. They do not respawn after you kill them.

When you do the Following in His Footsteps quest, you will encounter one right outside the Galaxy News Radio building. You will have ten Brotherhood of Steel members to back you up. One will be scripted to die, and three will be invincible. There is another brotherhood member that can die on the battle field who holds a Fatman mini nuke launcher.

Another Behemoth can be found caged in Evergreen Mills, and one is present in the Capitol Building fighting Talon Company mercenaries.

Another can be found west of the Jury Street Metro Station.

Appearances
The Behemoth appears only in Fallout 3. A robot also named Behemoth can be found in Fallout Tactics.

Strategies

 * He's big, but he can't chase you through a hallway or low piece of rubble that you can get under. Using this, you can take your time and have a wonderful day of target practice. Just don't get too close, as his melee attack is a near a one hit kill.


 * They never travel alone. One is usually supported by normal super mutants. Give the guards priority, but keep moving: if the Behemoth does hit you, then you will have more than just some nasty bruises.


 * Land mine trail: set land mines in a path and lure the Behemoth to you.


 * Using a Fatman, shoot a mininuke for a 1 hit kill.
