* The Apatosaurus' strongest attack is its Neck Swing. It can deal large amounts of damage that can be boosted by both brawler and earthbreaker. However, it may be better to utilise the apatosaurus’ Kick and Tail whip as the Neck Swing locks you into position, open to be attacked. A good combo is to cripple the opposing dinosaur with your Kick and follow up with the Neck Swing as it is unable to escape, or Tail whip to stay safe.

* The Apatosaurus's tail whip attack can be very effective for attacking or defending against any hidden [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] that may be lurking in a lake.

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]:''' A tail whip attack, which is much more reliable than its stomp attack. This attack should be the primary means of defense for the Apatosaurus. Hold Rick Click to coil up the Apatosaurus' tail. When released, the tail will shoot forwards and crack like a whip, dealing great damage and heavy [[Knockback|knockback]] to anything it hits. ''Keep in mind that for every second the tail is coiled up, ability power is drained, so don't hold it on for too long or you might end up draining too much ability power!''

'''Unique Attribute #1:''' The Apatosaurus possesses the highest [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] of any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creature. It is also capable of granting some of its weather resistance to nearby [[Groups|herd members]] through talents, effectively making the Apatosaurus a 'walking shelter'.

'''Unique Attribute #3:''' The Apatosaurus is capable of walking backwards. This is to prevent attackers from hiding under its hind legs, which are not in range of the whip attack. Walking backwards will cause them to be knocked back and into the range of the whip attack. In order to walk backwards, a player must toggle the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]].

=== Weakness ===
 
−
 
−
The Apatosaurus's huge size causes it to walk at a lumbering pace. It is in fact the slowest creature in the game, and most creatures are able to out-speed it simply by walking. Thus, fast creatures can give it a hard time by performing hit-and-run tactics on it. A [[Utahraptor]] pack is able to pull this off quite decently.
 
−
 
−
Additionally, large carnivores such as the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] can inflict serious bleed damage to an Apatosaurus, as well as survive multiple tail whip attacks, making it a threat to the Apatosaurus.
 
−
 
−
Their primary physical weakness is their neck. This can be attacked easily if held out in front of them, allowing predators an easy bite without risking the stomp attack. Apatosaurus may counter this by holding the "Alt" key to raise its head to the degree it desires-all other creatures can actually do this as well.
 
−
 
−
Despite this, the Apatosaurus still remains a very dangerous creature to fight, and it is not uncommon to see an Apatosaurus completely overwhelm its opponent.

Oops, something's missing!
It looks like this page is missing something - or maybe a lot of things! Beasts of Bermuda, despite its recent player increase, has had a very loyal following that didn't require a Wiki for the most part because of how tight-knit its community is. This means this Wiki has gone unmaned for a while now! Fear not, however, for there are still many resources out there while we try to update this site, such as our New Player Guide or the Official Discord Server. See you out there on the islands!

Overview

The Apatosaurus is a playable herbivorous creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the largest playable creature. Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate. Fortunately, it's not a picky eater: Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, and it can even consume trees as an adult. It also must drink copious amounts of water, and this sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds dry!

Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of HP in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and damage, making it very difficult to for any predator to kill. This discourages many predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life... if it can reach adulthood, that is.

Abilities

Unique Attributes: The Apatosaurus can deal knockback to creatures simply by walking into them. Additionally, it can walk backwards by crouching.

  • Neck Swipe
    • Default: Z (Ability Key)
    • A neck swipe that damages anything in front of it. Costs a moderate amount of ability power. The speed of the attack can be increased with points into Earthbreaker
  • Tail Whip
    • Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
    • A fast and powerful tail whip attack, dealing high damage with little ability power cost. Press the attack once to instantly whip in a direction, or hold the attack to coil up the Apatosaurus' tail, which has better accuracy when released. The ability power cost increases over time if the attack is held down. This can also be increased in attack speed with Whipcrack

Survival Tips

  • Carefully manage your ability power during fights. Enemies will often attempt to waste away the Apatosaurus' ability power by faking an attack.
  • The Apatosaurus' strongest attack is its Neck Swing. It can deal large amounts of damage that can be boosted by both brawler and earthbreaker. However, it may be better to utilise the apatosaurus’ Kick and Tail whip as the Neck Swing locks you into position, open to be attacked.
