this was the first red item I've ever gotten x) Even as an acrid main, everytime I get it the game just becomes more fun, it's such a cool and fun item. definitely my fave, and it's cool to see it has alot of tech (and double procs on acrid spit... :O)

[@Cap_]

finding the double proc interaction while making the video, and then discovering that so many abilities we use all the time are actually doing it was probably my favorite part about making this video. Even if you think you know everything about the game, it'll always surprise you

behemoth was the first item i ever picked up in ror2, i loved it so much and after i died i almost stopped playing the game cuz i didn’t realize why all the items were so shit compared to my first run lmao. glad i kept playing

I thought I was noticing engi's grenades exploding a ton with behemoth, but I had no idea it had some many wild interactions. Thanks for the vid.

[@dontdoitdan7965]

The merc synergy is something i will ALWAYS go for given the opportunity. I thought it was happening one lategame run due to uke, but thats even cooler

[@sebastienrodin8329]

According to the wiki, it deals "a bonus 60% TOTAL damage to nearby enemies". Total damage is based off the attack that triggered it so why do the bouncing attacks deal damage from it? Since the bounce does 0 damage by default. Also why do the void glasses proc from the explosion if the explosion has no proc coefficient? Amazing video btw thanks a lot.

[@Cap_]

The behemoth proc of the bouncing effect takes the maximum damage the bouncing skill deals to calculate the behemoth explosion. So for commando grenades it'll check whatever the max damage that grenade will deal and multiply that by 0.6. I could have explained that better in the video.

[@emberthecatgirl8796]

Do void glasses also transfer to other TOTAL damage effects?

[@dalekin3177]

@EmberTheCatgirl unsure of its coefficient, but I know the glasses can proc off of polyute(the void ukulele), void sent flame, and plasma shrimp. Needle tick miiiight be able to? But I've never witnessed that one first hand. But it's also worth noting all of those effects except maybe needle tick will also proc behemoth

[@Cap_]

@@dalekin3177 I'd check out the proc coefficients link in the description. If an item or skill isn't on there, it has no coefficient. Needletick is still a "damage over time" so no coefficient behind it :)

A lot of this is common sense stuff. But the explosion radius shrinking with proc coefficient, the double proc, and the bounce proc is the best thing to learn. Glad you talked about all of it. =3 Yes, I'm glad you talked about the obvious stuff too. The grenade combo is one I have to try out soon.

[@louie4456]

[@ADHDragons]

my thought for why it double procs (at least in some instances, not sure if this applies for all). Looking at Captain's taser, we know it procs on bounces. Maybe they count the hit as a sticking "bounce", and then it procs again with the hit's damage. Since the game tracks hits and bounces differently (as shown best through the frag grenade) that makes the most sense to me, and might explain why the scrap launcher, acrid's spit, and others double proc (one for the projectile hitting the enemy, and the other for the damage of the attack hitting the enemy). My theory falls short on artificer's double proc by hitting close to the enemy but not hitting the enemy, because I would have assumed it worked the other way around...

[@lordbully3137]

[@powpowpaskue1697]

Theres actually so many more involving items. Not having a voice and not feeling like apart of the community is why ive personally never said anything online. Things like meat hook, atg, and other proc items with proc coes all have some fun interactions based on survivor skills procing them. It reminds me of riots old spaghetti code for league

[@Burgerlly]

I’m kinda new to this game but yesterday I got Behemoth and Helfire Tincture in I think it proc on you with every tick of burn but not damaging me for some reason. It shredded every mob and the bosses it carried me.

[@GhengisJohn]

As far as Mister Torque is concerned the correct answer to "Explosions?" is "Boom!" but "Ka-Boom" "boom boom booom!" "Bada-Boom" and "KaPOW!" are also acceptable.

[@jeluenhayo2410]

Great vid! Even though most of the stuff can't be applied in usual games (without you intentionally getting Artifact of Command to play with Behemoth), it's still awesome. And some nieche implications can even be useful: Merc mark-build becomes straight up insane and Desperado is cool as well (and no, Commando's grenade still sucks and we won't take it for a chance for Behemoth).

[@Meichrob7]

I wonder if this makes behemoth worth taking on merc if you’re getting a command red. It doesn’t otherwise feel super impactful but that’s a really strong interaction and kinda lets it pull double duty as a damage boost and a psuedo alien head.

[@luviana_]

the boring but most efficient option on command is to take ceremonial daggers and then take forgive me please as your equipment it might be boring, but it's free damage just by pressing Q, and with a bunch of other good whites it takes the cake as the most OP combo on any character

[@tiredmann]

​@@luviana_ I had a similar build when I ran 20 stages on Monsoon with command artifact on, I stacked 5+ fuel cells with Missile launcher and had Soulbound Catalyst and ICBM then stacked Gasoline and Will of the Wisp, I would just spam Q on every stage and it would clean every enemy on the whole map. It was ridiculous and boring after becoming a weapon of mass destruction.

Hey, I'm loving the deep dives covered here! Please don't be afraid to do the same thing for other games and explore a bunch! There's so much great content to be found there!! Feel free to ignore this part, but I'd like to do you a solid that something did for me in my comments section. See how this video did really well? I think a lot of it is in the thumbnail and title combo. Two Rules to get better at thumbnails to get people to click on ur stuff and enjoy your actually really interesting content are: 1. Maximum of 3 Elements Per Thumbnail - Background - Foreground Element 1 (immediate attention grabber like the Behemoth Icon in this vid) - Foreground Element 2 (context usually in text form to make the thumbnail richer) 2. See what other people are doing with their thumbnails and try and spot common themes in videos that do well - terminology used in titles like buzzwords - having DEPTH in the thumbnails (clear difference between foreground and background) - how does the title and thumbnail make for a really SPECIFIC and niche video concept (how did they avoid generalizing things) and that's it... I really hope you keep following your passions and interests and branch out to all the games that draw your interests. I love your informative style of content and the clear effort that goes into both script writing, footage gathering, and presentation. PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!! You're doing awesome

[@tr4cer_wh1te]

Getting the PC version of the game and getting slicing winds and the alt utility was a godsend for mercenary, if I have an absolute awful run and get a behemoth that run is saved no matter what. The extra damage and expose proc does wonders for any run of mercenary since the damage of behemoth is multiplicitave with the +350% damage makes the total damage skyrocket into oblivion

[@badwithusernames3238]

bit late, but the reason lost seers doesnt work on bosses normally is because its not rolled against them, so if you get it off another enemy you can still instakill. mithrix and voidling are simply immune to the instakill damage type, instead taking small fallback damage which is still a rare small damage boost in the end. anything that dies to a reaver explosion is vulnerable to lost seers in some way
