Can You Check Behemoth Health in Dauntless?

The short answer is, no. You can’t check Behemoth health in Dauntless because the entire game’s combat and moment-to-moment gameplay are designed around the fact that you don’t know how much health a monster has left.

Similar to the Monster Hunter series from Capcom, Phoenix Labs opted not to include any health indicators or a health bar so that players would be much more focused on the fight with the Behemoth and stuff. If the game actually included a health bar, players would end up being more focused on that, instead of the actual combat encounter.

It’s also worth pointing out that even though there are damage numbers in the game as you deal damage to Behemoths, there’s no way to actually check how much health is left.

Indicators that Health is Low

However, a good way to know how close you are to killing a Behemoth in Dauntless is to monitor its behavior. For instance, as you injure a monster more in the game, you’ll start to notice more wear and tear on their skin, along with new bloody scars and scratches. The more beat up the Behemoth is, the closer it is to death.

In addition to that, when a Behemoth is down to critical health in Dauntless, it might also try to flee and get away from you. This should be a good indicator that it’s close to death.

That’s all you need to know about whether you can check Behemoth health in Dauntless. Be sure to check our Dauntless guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
