Flatwoods Monster is one Fallout 76’s more outlandish creatures, featuring an odd, alien-looking exoskeleton with glowing eyes that’s sure to keep you on your toes out in the Appalachian wilds.
If you’re wondering about the Flatwoods Monster location so that you can steer well clear of it - even though it does spawn in a harmless state from time to time, we’ve got just the right info for you to consult.
Flatwoods Monster Location
The Flatwoods monster might resemble a humanoid from a distance, however it’d be more suitably described as an alien astronaut. Boasting some very retro sci-fi gear, it uses hover-jets that glow purple to make up for its complete lack of legs.
The Flatwoods monster is known to appear in a couple of locations in Fallout 76. You’ll encounter one near Abbie’s Bunker in The Mire, as well as near Southhampton Estate.
More locations where you can encounter the Flatwoods monster are found in Fallout 76’s Savage Divide region. You can potentially find one on the Northwest side of Sunnytop Ski Lanes, as well as further to its Northeast, near the Converted munitions factory. One can spawn Southeast of Spruce Knob Channels, on a cliffside, or near the Top of the World.
The non-hostile Flatwoods monster usually teleports away before you can do anything to it. Its hostile variant is less likely to run, using teleportation to move around while firing lasers at players. It can also regenerate its health several times when near death and spawn alongside the Mothman. Defeating the Flatwoods monster counts towards Fallout 76’s challenge asking you to kill different types of human-like creatures.
You might be looking for a variety of other Fallout 76 creatures, however. Good thing we’ve got a fair few of them already listed: here’s how to find the Cat, the Gulper, and the Radstag in 76.
