TOP 5 Most DANGEROUS Enemies In Outward Definitive Edition

These 5 monsters will HAUNT your dreams! Well at least in Outward. Here are the 5 most dangerous and challenging opponents to fight in Outward. These do not include mini-bosses but rather we are talking about enemies that spawn again and again. Yes, you can defeat anything with enough patience, skill, or potions. But is there an enemy you tend to shy away from? For me, it's the tuanosaur. I try to stay away from them as well as I can. They are aggressive and very fast. What enemy do you avoid, and did it make it to this list?
Outward is an RPG/survival game that allows you take to make an almost infinite number of builds. Melee, magic, archery, and even traps are scattered across this harsh world in the form of skills. You must have a large amount of money to purchase these skills, but luckily the monsters drop extremely valuable items. The game has been harshly criticized for its realistic and challenging nature. Feel free to subscribe and watch me beat the crap out of some crazy monsters.

You missed the black bird in chersonese, not dangerous for its attack patterns but for how deceiving it can be, as a starter player, you might try to kill it, thinking it is as easy to take as the white ones, but you'll get rekt by the little fella 🤣

[@SheenShots]

The noob destroyer as I like to call it 😂. The thing has kicked my butt enough times that's for sure.

[@reed3863]

Omg the black pearlbird was so deceiving. I remember dying to it and I just stared at the screen dumbfounded.

[@shenko9946]

That actually did happen to me. I did NOT expect it to be so tough so I tried to retreat. That ended about as well as you'd expect.

[@vinnyb.c3983]

In my first encounter, i was lucky to see a crew of 3 bandits gets rid by that bird, sooooo i walk away...

[@MT-li3hb]

100% True Story ! I died 4 times! It's insane, his sprint is without pity !

[@bowshattersg7776]

Tuanosaurs also seem to wander around quite a fair bit which leads to pretty horrifying situations especially when suddenly encountered early on before getting the proper gear and breakthroughs for a build. I had this moment where I thought I could take a breather in one of those ruins, but I saw a Tuanosaur peeking at me through one of the windows and I went "ah shiet".

[@SheenShots]

Me: Taking a break for 5 seconds... Tuanosaur: Don't mind if I do.

[@punch4freedom]

i literally encounterd the "Poisonous gargoyle" on my way through the swamp in multiplayer today and this thing left us no chance to breath

[@SheenShots]

Oh he is a menace. All the powers of a gargoyle, but he also poisons you. Pretty rough to take on.

[@matthewtaylor6829]

The most dangerous enemy in Outward: the one you are unprepared for

[@SheenShots]

So all of them 😂. But in all seriousness yes. Fighting fire enemies with fire also does not help much.

[@emeraldknight2820]

Gravity is the one enemy I tend to die to the most.

[@Fredministrator]

I think it strongly depends on your playstile. Playing as a ranged magic user the scarlet emissarys hardly registers as a special threat. They can't really sneak up on you and with range or runic trap they are not that thought to beat. Getting close and personal is a totally different story. Gargoyles I found to be consistently strong since they are tough, heal and their area attack can be suprising. Also the Quartz Gastrocin might be a bit more dangerous than its overworld counterpard even if it doesn't set you on fire. I am on the fence on that one. My personal nemisis is the dreaded Alpha Coralhorn, but thats just the nature of Ourtward. It punishes you the moment you let your guard down.

[@The_Stickle_Cell]

Glad Sheenshots validated my strategy of running away, great strategy (almost) never fails me

[@SheenShots]

Sometimes the simplest options is the best option lol

[@colinchichester1809]

my early game swamp nemesis is the phytoflora the very aggressive version of the phytosaur, dang things will chase you to hell and back and are not as slow as one would think.

[@sk0omaalters96]

Just came to make sure you included the snail 😂

[@SheenShots]

Oh yes definitely. Those snails are a pain!

[@minimagician2242]

Hi sheen just started playing outward again and wanted to show my support. Thx for the work u put into these videos!❤

[@SheenShots]

Always appreciate the support!

[@tsunamix004]

Medyse's are pretty annoying when they team up against you. Great list 👍

[@SheenShots]

Three medyse at one time is not my kind of adventure.

[@noegiussani3749]

Great list Sheen! I do think an honorable mention ignoring all caldera enemies could be living hive or the shell horror!

[@SheenShots]

Living hive are pretty annoying. The bugs also attack you will dealing with them which makes them hardly worth fighting.

[@krevetka9744]

What I've found to work best with high impact weapons is timing your long-charging heavy strike within combo to hit exactly when the enemy gets up so they are immediately staggered again. Makes you save up on opener skills like parries and kicks. Such strikes within combo often deal double impact and approximately 150% damage of a normal attack.

[@pixelmaster9964]

Important to note, a lot of the tougher caldera enemies and bosses ignore 50% of your resistance. Really hurts heavy armor builds.

[@SheenShots]

Ya that entire area is one big death trap.

[@sugunikibo885]

If we're going who's most dangerous by most people killed, it would be a fight between the pearlbird, the black pearlbird, bandit and hyena.

[@SheenShots]

Lol black pearlbird is the scarlet emissary of the early game.

[@Dalboni]

Regular Tuanossaur killed my hardcore characters more than I would like to admit. Every time I disrespect a relatively weak mob I ended up burying a character.

[@SheenShots]

Often its just being overconfident because then you go in underprepared. This has happened to me too many times to count.

[@holymoses43]

Finally getting my sheen shots outward fix, thank you!

[@luciferous277]

Where’d you get the lore that gargoyles were made by the Djinn?

[@SheenShots]

Ah, as far as I can tell we are not given any direct info on the Gargoyles. However, there are some pretty big tells that give this away. The gargoyles are only stationed in locations near where the Djinn could be. He piloted the ark over to Caldera with the caleygreys and every docking station has two gargoyle statues near them. The ark itself has several gargoyles in the top part. There is also a potential throne for the Djinn here as well. Then we see the oil caverns which has several gargoyles all guarding the levers to actually reach the Djinn. And finally the volcano area has two gargoyles. We know the peoples of Old Sirocco used the Djinn to move the weird device down there before and we do it again later on. Calygreys also seem to be the only enemy Gargoyles won't attack. Heck even in the arena the gargoyle and one caleygrey are the last opponents you fight. A being such as the gargoyles must be created by something considering they are constructs. No actual life inside them but rather a husk with a purpose (like golems). So I concluded that the Djinn made the gargoyles or at least turns them to life to stop the humans from meddling with him.

[@raymond_lazer]

Rock n Roll, dude !!! Really nice !!! Thanx for he video !!! I would recommend the the 1st ennemy is the player itself when being too optimistic about the issue of a fight or a dungeon ;) . In France we are eating snails everyday , same with Pain and butter as breakfast ;) Your first ennemy is yourself and being too confident might lead you to huge frustrations :D

[@SheenShots]

You are your own worst enemy. Finer words have never been said!

[@raymond_lazer]

@@SheenShots Merci !

[@fatguy4137]

I'm glad we all Agree to just never bother with that Scarlet Emissary. Zero Loot Beast that has Combo attacks that One Burst you, and very hard to dodge AOE with lifesteal, fast run speed, Crazy attack speed, Absurd health pool and impact. I never bother.

[@SheenShots]

They are the most aggressive enemy to take on, and for certain builds its really not worth it.

[@mythrielpelageirin]

hate that snail xD

[@aricahyadi3937]

How I miss Merton with "sheenshots" logo on top of him

[@Schnokers]

3 out of 5 monsters are in Caldera. I always think that place is where my builds go to die.

[@SheenShots]

And its even worse when you realize the top 10 most dangerous would just be 5 more enemies from caldera 😅

[@milkbottle4u]

I like how three out of five of these enemies are in Caldera alone 💀

[@SheenShots]

That place is just different lol

[@crisisOstrich]

I always have more trouble with Sword Dancers than Taunosaurs

[@SheenShots]

They do have a lot of reach and impact. They do have one attack that has them jump forward and swipe with the sword. This is an attack that will not hit you if you get behind them making for a great attack window. Brace is also pretty great for them as they have a huge hit making it hard for them to miss your counter. Still quite formidable though especially since they blend in with the swamp...

[@Ahglock]

What always makes the tuanosaurs rough for me is I am in the swamps early game. Later game when I have better gear I just generally run and dodge while spamming runic traps.

[@SheenShots]

Ya they are brutal early on. With they ability to get up instantly and backstep every 3 seconds, they completely drain your stamina before you haver good skills.

[@xorjonas8472]

An arrow to the face (from the safety of quite a few steps away) resolves most problems theses pesky creatures can cause

[@SheenShots]

Why get within melee range when I can kill you from all the way over here?

[@yotuel9064]

Sneak Dino for the win!!!

[@SheenShots]

They had to be on the list 😂

[@thebisonwarrior3531]

First hour gang

[@emeraldknight2820]

Started up Outward DE on ps5 and when I went to go fight the tuanasaur in the conflux mountain I was shocked to see an ice variant. It has a great design though and Fire sigil took it down fast

[@SheenShots]

Ya the new mini bosses are awesome, and the ice dino is one of the first surprises you see really.

[@InkyGw2]

Pearlbird Mask ftw

[@SheenShots]

Best helmet for many.

[@sugunikibo885]

When did you become a master juggernaut skill user oof

[@SheenShots]

When I realized its the best skill in the game! Insane impact and inflicts confusion. What more could you want lol

[@gamesux420]

I found the manticore in abrassar and saw it was almost dead from fighting bugs or smth so I tried my luck and died, decided to just go do smth else and randomly got the "kill a manticore" achievement lol

[@SheenShots]

Oh that's probably due to bleed. The bugs can bleed enemies, and if the manticore got low enough it will stay after death. Funny it triggered the achievement.

[@Randych]

Can't say for everyone, but emissaries are indeed a byproduct of artistic impotence or, in a more inclusive language, rushed development.

[@reed3863]

Tuanosaurs are alright, but I do my best to not aggro them if I'm not willing to face them. I decided to explore the forest area today to kill everything in the area and stumbled across the Royal Manticore. Dude outrun my +20% movement speed character like it was nothing. I somehow got away thanks to some jukes and came back with 15 traps and fire stones. It literally burned its hp. Found the manticore lair shortly after and decided to see what it was about. I was disappointed with the 2 normal ones inside thanks to obsidian pistol and frost+blood bullet. Yet to explore Caldera as of now.

[@SheenShots]

Obsidian pistol is actually the perfect counter to manticores. They don't have insane HP or anything, but they are fast, hit with high impact, and like to jump backwards when you attack. Tuanosaurs are just annoying due to bleed and the fat that they hop right back up after impact. Like just stay down lol

[@someperson5575]

Think to make top of the legacy items?

[@SheenShots]

This is a good idea. I will look into it. The wide black hat is an S tier legacy option if you are looking for something rn.

[@tungtran2707]

Scarlet emissary actually always on my hit list instead of staying away in a specific period of time in a playthrough, can you guess when?

[@SheenShots]

Samples my friend. I am all too familiar lol

[@duanefouche378]

Marsh Archer Captain? By far my least favorite enemy to deal with. Insane resistances, massive damage with his bow, high protection, and very fast attack speed in melee range. His only saving grace is his low impact damage

[@SheenShots]

This is actually a pretty good one. There are very few of these guys, but they are really annoying. Bows do way too much damage to you and its very difficult to dodge them. One shot can do almost your full health if you are a mage.

[@Silduril]

No mention of Obsidian Elementals??

[@SheenShots]

Lol fair point. Those guys have ended me more times than I care to count.

[@xelisrahux5563]

Idk but tank snail has been more annoying than all of them.

[@SheenShots]

Tanky snails always seem to be annoying no matter what you do.

[@cs7287]

What woudl i do without song videos

[@cs7287]

I predictat that Scarlett Nemesis are on the list

[@SheenShots]

You my friend were correct lol

[@obsidianeagle7555]

Caldera has the worst enemies, the 1st rank of this list is a nightmare for me, no way to kill it , i tried every ways on it but didn't work, i tried even ice varnish and fabulous shield to decrease its resistance to elemental dmg , but killed me again 😅😅

[@bobsteven2363]

okay, the royal manticore is a joke. First time playing the game I beat it right after I got the forest with one bleed trap. After the patch, trap spamming early game still wipes it out super easily. They should have called the game, outcheese instead of outward since all you need to do is out cheese the mobs.

[@SheenShots]

Most of the bosses in the open world are like this. You can very easily cheese the entire game if you really want. Due to how open the world is, there isn't much you can do to avoid it except don't use traps. The unique arena bosses however, sort of fix this. You run up against very challenging bosses who you can't really use traps on. So they are a lot tougher if you are looking for that.

[@duanefouche378]

I definitely agree with the Gargoyle and Scarlet Emmissary, but the others not so much. - Gastrocins you can just avoid, or take them out with guerilla tactics. They can't really hit you if you play it safe. - Tuanosaurs are only dangerous in the early game due to their 4 protection. But you can make them bleed and just kite them with short bursts of sprinting to the right to let your stamina recover in between attacks. I regularly beat them with just a fang axe + tower shield (takes a while though and the Alpha is way more dangerous). - Manticores I will admit can be very dangerous due to their insane speed, but there are more dangerous foes IMO. Specifically: 1) Calygreys. They have much better resistances overall compared to a Tuanosar, and almost never travel alone. They also deal a gross amount of impact damage. Tuanosaurs you can kite and avoid with smart movement to recover stamina, but try that here and these boogaloo baboons will bolt blast your face off. You can also block a Tuanosaur with a decent weapon or shield, but these guys will absolutely bust through. The Elder Calygrey is also far more dangerous then an Alpha Tuanosaur IMO. 2) The Scourge. If you want to be more specific: Shell horrors, Pure Illuminators, Immaculates, and Sublime Shells. They all can end you in very short order. The normal Illuminators are not too bad unless in a large group. Their stats are all comparable to Manticore's (Especially the Shell Horror), they just aren't quite as nimble but each has their own quirk to make them dangerous in their own right. 3) Ancient Dwellers. They may as well be Minibosses. I would definitely have these in the top 3. They are a class on their own just like the Gargoyles and Scarlet Emmissary's. I have died to them... while invincibility was enabled in debug mode... it doesn't save you from Petrification FYI. If their spectre siphone hits you it may as well be game over. They have the nastiest debuff I know of in Despirited as well. Honorable mention: Marsh Archer Captain. Screw this guy, he has no right to be that tanky at just 200 hp. And no right to deal that much damage with just a damn recurve bow. Pretty sure he has the single highest physical damage of any non-unique/boss enemy, by a pretty big amount too. It's like fighting a mini-gargoyle, his attack speed and damage with the Machete are fairly close - thank god he is lacking in impact. And they spawn fairly frequently in Monsoon from what I have seen, at least the Bandit Manhunter is only found in one specific area. And he's almost never alone either, often has up to 2 lackeys following him - allowing him ample opportunities to snipe you.

[@gojicandle8188]

Immaculates, Shell horrors and Ancient dwellers are a fairly good argument. But Calygreys are absolutely not Imo, They are incredibly predictable in their attack patterns, slow as well, their ranged attacks are dodged by walking left or right, They dont inflict any status effects either, The Flame elemental horse is more a challenge than them, They are basically Caldera bandits. Everything you said about the tuanosaurs apply here, bleed them, better yet poison them given they melt from decay damage (so a poison rag is usually enough to put them outa comission) and dodge their slow but heavy hitting attacks, And if you can't deal with groups then practice on bandits my dude.

[@SheenShots]

Caleygreys have never been an issue for me. They are tough, but most of the time I am only fighting them in end game. Where I have plenty of decay to destroy them. The scourge are hard for a while, but once you learn their moves they pose very little trouble. Shell horrors especially while Immaculates can be more of a pain sometimes. Ancient Dwellers on the other hand are a last resort thing. Avoid at all costs and if you have no lighting don't even think about it. Luckily confusion once again makes them ten times easier, but ever getting petrified with scare you do death lol.

[@duanefouche378]

@@SheenShots Yeah not sure why I struggle with them. I find I always get staggered in 1-2 hits even when blocking and they are usually in groups of 3 so I just really don't like to deal with them.

Beacuse of monster on number one on your list i quit outward.He is just impossible to beat...

[@SheenShots]

Scarlet Emissary is extremely hard to take down. Really the only way to do it efficiently is to apply confusion or use a ghost drum. That's about it.

[@lazyliger8740]

regardless of build You really need to make the build I sent you the snail is nothing to that build you can stand next to the snail with my build and just keep hitting it no matter what the snail does lol. The others I give you because most the damage from the other ones are physical damage or bleed and my build has physical resistance but not enough to just tank hits from them. Also do not forget about Kingdoms of Amalur if you really want it as of posting this comment 22 hours left of the sale lol.

[@SheenShots]

Well if you are immune to both fire and decay they pose no threat at all, but the absurd amount of damage needed to kill them is crazy!

[@tha_juice3262]

Algorithm support

[@sinny5404]

Imma disagree on the snail being on the list. It has a very long cooldown between attacks and gives plenty of forewarning before attacking so even slow builds can just walk away for a few seconds. And you can just walk speed away from them, they can't hunt you down. Which makes them not dangerous. Hyenas are harder to dodge and they're one of the lowest- If it was a list on most *annoying* mobs tho- Strong replacement for number 5? Fire elemental. 100%. The ranged fireballs that lock on.
