When youre exploring keep an eye out for those wild prehistoric adaptations borrowed from old-school fossil finds. The burgess shale influence is most obvious with segmented body structures and that alien anatomical stuff youll notice in the tougher monsters, while movement patterns really stand out during combat phases. Most critical is watching the kranodath's skull plates, since they telegraph major attacks through those hammer-shaped segments right before a big hit. Maybe interesting - positioning near terrain features during the piragill fight helps spot those blade patterns inspired by ancient leviathan fossils.

Good spot to watch is around those fossil-rich areas like oilwell basin where creature behaviors match the environment perfectly, especially when talioths use pack-hunting moves that mirror actual predator fossils. If youre having trouble with timing, focus on monster recovery animations after their main attacks cause thats your best window for damage, just remember to maintain proper spacing since these things move in ways you wouldn't expect from normal creatures. The rugged cliff areas really highlight how these ancient-inspired designs work mechanically, and learning their unique movement patterns is crucial for survival especially during those intense multi-phase encounters.
