Warhammer 40,000 Darktide lets you fight against well-known monsters from the Warhammer universe, including creatures of Nurgle. During one of the missions, there is also the boss “Beast of Nurgle”, and our Guide will tell you how to defeat it.
This is what's going on: The pre-order beta has already started on November 17. If you have pre-ordered Warhammer 40,000 Darktide, you can already play. However, most content is still being held back, and new missions will only be added on a weekly basis. For the actual release on November 30th, you will be able to play all content. In the missions that are already available, you will also encounter a disgusting boss, the Beast of Nurgle, which is quite a challenge. We'll tell you how to defeat it.
In the currently running pre-order beta and probably also in the release on November 30th, the Beast of Nurgle will be one of the most difficult enemies you will encounter in Warhammer 40,000 Darktide. The green monstrosity, reminiscent of a disfigured Jabba the Hut, seems slow at first glance, but this is deceptive. You and your squad should prepare well for the battle.
The Beast of Nurgle will use 3 special abilities during combat and also strike normally:
The abilities of the Beast of Nurgle are designed to get within melee range of its targets. So try to always keep a great distance and don't approach it from behind.
Of course, the Beast of Nurgle has not only strengths but also weaknesses. As soon as it chases one of your teammates, keep some distance behind it and aim your weapon at the yellow glowing blister. This is the weak point of the Beast of Nurgle and deals critical damage when hit. If you are being chased, you should try to run in circles so that your friends always have a good field of fire.
Teamwork is important here, and good coordination will get you through this fight well. YouTuber Kiv Kiv has already shown off the short but intense fight:
