Brute Creatures

Brute Creatures are one of the brand new variants of creatures introduced into Genesis: Part 1 and are extremely powerful creatures that are encountered during Missions as mini bosses.

They have appeared at several missions, mainly towards Hunt Mission. (Brute Fire Wyvern is found at Magma Medley Melee, which is a Gauntlet Mission)

They appear to be a halfway point between Alpha Creatures and Bosses as they are large variants of normal creatures similarly to Alpha Creatures (although Brute Creatures are actually larger than Alpha Creatures which was tested by spawning a Brute X-Megalodon and a Alpha Megalodon next to each other) and they have difficulties based on whatever the player chooses.

At the end point, the Brute Creatures may appear with several reinforcements, either regular creatures and x-creatures or even brute variants of other creatures.

Depending on the difficulty of the mission a player takes to hunt down a brute creature, the amount of damage is affected. The damage modifiers are as follows:

• ~5x damage on gamma difficulty
• normal damage on beta difficulty
• ~.15x damage on alpha difficulty

Strategy

When facing Brute creatures in their respective missions, players should not underestimate them for even a split second. Even though Gamma and Beta level missions aren't that difficult, the Alpha difficulty is the most difficult.

On Alpha difficulty, the Brute creatures have massive damage buffs and resistances where they can deal high amounts of damage to tames and receive only 15% damage from your tame's attacks.

Have all the tames you are bringing for the mission to surround the Brute Creature as quickly as possible as this will maximize damage output. Do not have your tames attacking the Brute Creature head on as a few of your tames are damaging the Brute creature while it is attacking all of the tames.

Recommended Creatures

• For Gamma/Beta Level
  •  Rex's are a prime option due to their high damage and health.
  •  Giganotosaurus are another option due to their high damage and health surpassing the rex.
  •  Spinosaurus are useful during hunting missions in the bog biome due to their increased damage when in water.
  •  Yutyrannus can help buff up ally tames, making them deal more damage while receiving less.
• For Alpha Level;
  • Due to the damage debuff during this level, tames that were great in the beta and gamma levels are at a disadvantage due to their reliance on damage but they can be brought along for raw damage output and support. Facing the alpha versions of the Brute creatures require taking a creative approach.
    • Having only 2 packs of  Allosaurus will help due to their bleeding effect caused by the alpha allosaurus. The bleeding effect drains the Brute Creatures health by percent, not by number. Their attack speed is also to be considered. Because of its compact size, packs of allosaurus can easily traverse the tight terrain.
    • A herd of 20-30  Kentrosaurus can be useful in making the brute creature deal damage to itself due to the kentrosaurus' spike wall nature.
    •  Deinonychus can help with the bigger brute creatures by pouncing on them and stacking their bleeding effect on their target creature.
    • A massive bed(group of eels)/group of  Electrophorus can be useful against the Ocean biome brute creatures by stunning the brute creature, giving the damage dealers time to attack.
    • Bring a pair of high health tames such as  Brontosaurus and  Megachelon to divert the brute creature's attention from the damage dealers. If they have a platform saddle, put auto turrets on the saddle to help deal damage to the brute creature. A huge group of Megachelons with platform saddles full of turrets can easily kill the Ocean Biome Brute Creatures.
    • Bringing along loads of  Arthropleura for its spike wall nature, but since they can't be bred, it is best to bring to have a tek cloning chamber at your base to make sure you have a steady supply of them.
    • If you have friends playing with you, one of them can be in a  Mek with an  M.D.S.M.  for better protection for your hunting tames or more damage against the brute creature.
    • With patch 312.65, the  Carnotaurus is another great addition for its head-butt attack now dealing a bleed effect, though not as efficient as  Allosaurus's bleed since it doesn't slows down target.
    •  Magmasaur is a good choice to be a tank, since it can tank a lot of damage, as well as its ascendant saddle is rather easy to obtain from time to time, and can be quickly healed by feeding it Ambergris.
    •  Reaper King is another choice to be a tank, since it's natural armor can make it more resilient to hits.
    •  Giganotosaurus are useful to take out minions, but not in  Brute X-Allosaurus mission. They can deal a relatively decent amount of damage if you bring two giganotosaurus of opposite gender by utilizing the mate boost.
    •  Daeodon are great for emergency heal, especially while fight against  Brute X-Allosaurus and  Brute Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus, since both can deal percentage damage.
    • Spinosaurus are ideal tames for the Bog biome Alpha Brute creatures because of their damage buff while being touched by water, and bipedal form attack speed.
