How to Find the Flatwoods Monster in Fallout 76

You can find the Flatwoods Monster in Fallout 76 spawning randomly across Appalachia, with no fixed spawn locations but increased encounter chances via events. Those events include:

  • Daily: Making Sacrifices
  • Daily: Queen of the Hunt
  • Ally Quest: Exterminate the Flatwoods Monster
  • Event: Campfire Tales
  • Event: Invaders from Beyond

Furthermore, there is a chance that the Flatwoods Monster spawns as a boss fight during any Daily Ops that involve Aliens!

How to Beat the Flatwoods Monster

It’s important to note that the Flatwoods Monster is not a singular being but a type of creature with multiple spawning throughout Appalachia. As such, it’s possible to encounter more than one but highly unlikely, as the Flatwoods Monster is often reserved as a final boss enemy during encounters and events.

That said, to beat the Flatwoods Monster, consider the following tips and tricks:

  • Do not use radiation damage, as the Flatwoods Monster is highly resistant.
  • The Alien-like creature can take control of turrets, animals, and other monsters.
  • There are three variations: Regular, Fabled, and Mythical. The latter is the strongest.
  • The Flatwoods Monster utilizes a laser beam attack that deals heavy energy damage.

Since you can’t use radiation-dealing weapons, we recommend bringing along the Tesla Rifle!
