How to defeat the Flatwoods Monster in Fallout 76 (Location)
If you’re doing this for another reason (as a daily or as part of an event) and haven’t spoken to the Raider Punk yet, I suggest you do so. The Raider Punk gives you the location as part of his quest and you’ll also get a reward from how once completed. This will also take you specifically to aMythical Flatwoods Monster(location marked on the map below).
If you don’t find one at this location, they can be found all acrossAppalachiaand haveno fixed spawn locations. That means you’ll have to search the region for them or relaunch on a different server (orprivate server). They only appear at night with a 2.5% chance of appearing at any creature spawn location. On the plus side, you’re able to’t miss them as they havepurple glowing eyesand float above the ground menacingly.
