Is Behemoth harder than AT Xeno/Nerg?

[mewlynx]

Which should I do first? Already did all the other AT stuff, it's just to my understanding that these two are significantly harder than the other ones, so I feel like I need Drachen for damage + a little extra armor than what I'm wearing currently. Should specify that I mean solo AT Xeno/Nerg.

if we are talking about normal, then no.
if we are talking about extreme, nyyyyyyeno.

at xeno and nerg tend to one hit. behemoth is more forgiving imho.

just need the right people and not wipe before phase 2 or better not at all?

The thing about AT Nerg is that he starts off in an area that’s really easy to exploit the environment against him. With him being the last AT I made a cheeky little Gunlance set for the occasion. Artillery, Earplugs, Tool Specialist and Bombardier with the Ghilli Mantle on standby.

I started by running in when his back was turned and grabbed some Shattercryst. When he turned around and walked back toward the large crystals I lured him under them with Shattercryst and knocked down the crystals. I quickly placed my bombs and hit him with Wyverns Fire, which is an attack that doesn’t draw aggro. I then Farcraster back and had dealt a chuck of damage to him and coult repeat until he sees me, which is what the Ghilli was for.

Honestly just liked seeing how long I could keep this cycle up. I’d never bothered using the environment before, but it was too tempting to pass up.

Im an IG main so, in my perspective
AT nergi > AT xeno > Extremoth w my buddies (someone playing as tank so..) > Behe solo

But 'maybe' cuz never touch any other weap before :V
If lance
AT xeno > AT nergi > Behe party? solo w lance? not sure

Extremoth in random party is just...madness, even the normal one :(
Wait do i hv friend in the first place? hmm.....

[IrisMachina]

they are sort of the same in terms of difficulty. extremoth is harder than those 3.

AT Nerg and Xeno are easier because you can rely on your own skills, solo the hunt, and exploit weaknesses in both. Behemoth is harder to solo and if you play on a team you know have to rely on others.

But if you have a veteran , good team, behemoth is a walk in the park.

I soloed both AT Xeno and Nergi and IMO Behemoth is harder, but it's not a binary thing.

What makes Behemoth difficult is that he has a true oneshot attack with a lot of difficulties in avoiding it. If the party you've gotten is bad at dodging Ecliptic Meteor you are simply screwed.

What makes AT Xeno/Nergi difficult is plain and simply being hard fights all around, with Xeno jumping all over the place and leaving lava pools everywhere and Nergi having all its attacks being extremely deadly.

So AT Xeno/Nergi are well-rounded, difficult fights, Behemoth is a fight with a specific gimmick that can easily destroy a bad player/party no matter how well-equipped they are. I would personally say Behemoth is harder, but there isn't really a right answer.

Also, I took both of them down without Drachen armor- Not trying to boast, but observing that it's possible. Drachen armor is great and all, but if you have other Arch-Tempered armorsets already you'll be fine.

Behemoth -> AT Xeno -> AT Nerg -> EX Behemoth
For me though, this is due to randoms

Having solo and premade team all of them.

Honestly Extreme Behemoth is the hardest.

Now this isn't because the Monster itself is actually tough. Its not. No its the amount of extra going on and how long you have to fight him for. Remember Ex Behemoth is always multiplayer scaled.

AT Nergi is next. Honestly he's fast and aggressive which means you need to be on your game. But with SnS and SA most of the attacks are actually really easy to dodge once you've fought him once or twice. Multiplayer actually can go both ways here. Either his random all over the place attacks get you caught out or they constantly give you time to heal if you messed up.

Behemoth and AT Xeno is really easy in comparison to those 2. Honestly with the proper gear neither of these is actually that hard. Its just that they have a lot of HP so the fights drag-on.

Heat Guard and/or a cold drink means that AT Xeno's big gimick is nullified and then its just a Xeno that hits harder. You should never be in front of Xeno so the one shot mouth laser is just free damage to the head.

Behemoth on the other hand doesn't hit hard or fast enough to really be an issue. And since you can pretty much flash away all the problematic attacks again its just a long drawn out fight.

---------

Lastly none of this matters if you go in with a defensive set like a Lance or GL build. Heck Spread 3 Glutton will wreck any of these but AT Nergi.

Not harder
But this thing is a huge hp sponge. 35k hp sponge.
And apparently, it can heal itself for 700 hp each time you aggro him and leave the area

IMO, I still think behemoth(normal) is still harder than AT xeno and AT nerg for one reason. His tornado. That's the only thing that makes him extremely difficult to solo.

You can just flash him in the face to cansel tornado
13 times per restock

Multiplayer, AT Nergi is harder than Behemoth. Is easier to solo AT nergi.
