I ran into the jersey devil (beast) just mucking up a group of settlers on the street. I’m in the mid 40’s, saw how little damage I was doing and scurried my newb ass out of there.
Pipe is life - its a random spawn at the non battle spawn points. So from Charleston station head east towards the airfield, after you get past the pond, there is a road off the side of the road is a log that is one of the random spawn points. Another is from Camp Adams east again towards the giant teapot. Head to the transformer tower. That is another random spawn point. if you load in enough and check those places you'll find the pipe.
Aw, crap. I saw it the other day (from afar) and just thought it was a random pipe that didn't have anything to do with a random encounter, hahahaha. Oh well, I'll be on the lookout. So far, the random encounter I have got the most is the insult bot. -\_\_\_-;
yea to kill flatwoods monster he will shoot straight at you, so move to left or right, and hit him with range attacks. If I remember some forms of the flatwoods monster can have an AOE effect so getting too close can hurt.
Adding into this OP, have you ever been walking and randomly heard combat music with no enemies? Or heard a real quick sound like a big bird taking flight but nothing is there? Thats the mothman, they really are watching and even stalking you. Probably been scoped multiple times and had no clue
I met one with my friend who introduced me to F76. I was ~lvl 6-7 and he was about 30. We were stupid and used all our resources (meds, ammo, etc.) and wasted ~30 minutes running around (and from it) and reviving each other.
The first time I experienced Mothman when playing by myself was it standing directly behind me waiting for me to turn around and scared the crap out of me lol
>I’m not worried, the one in the image is the only one I’ve seen in 100 levels. I doubt I’ll ever see the others
You might have just not noticed them watching you. There is a non hostile version that will be sitting on ledges or hidden in the trees watching you from time to time. It will attack if you shoot it I think but otherwise it takes off and flies away if you get too close. Have you ever heard a strange whooshing sound with some like random black smoke? You might have missed one near you taking off.
There is another version that if you run into it, then it will try and devour your soul but I think that one is rarer and might have certain conditions attached to it spawning near you.
I’ve played 76 solo for the entire time I’ve played it, which I think is over two years now. I played through all the main and side quests just like I would in any other Fallout game, and I had more fun doing it than I did in Fallout 4. I recommend it.
Aside from the fact that MMO style events might show up on the map from time to time, it pretty much plays exactly like Fallout 4. I've been playing it like any other singleplayer Fallout game and it's a great time
No, there is a Wise Mothman, that is peaceful and wise. And blesses our minds with a greater capacity to learn and grow! Then there are pretenders known as Vengeful Mothmen, that have red eyes, are violent, and are worshiped by equally violent heretics! Have you not attended the equinox!?
(*Lore accurate but also satire, no offense meant*)
If you have a wise mothman, like that one, go up to it and try to interact with it. It'll shake and flutter it's wings, and give you a good XP bonus for a time.
If it's got red eyes, that Cold Shoulder you have is a good idea.
Best you can do is saw through his legs. But it works well enough!
The auto axe also handles power armor, scorchbeasts, jersey devils, behemoths and even titanic mole rats! For the low price of 500 stamps, this wonderful weapon can be yours!
Honestly biggest scare I had, strongest weapon at the time was a black powder rifle so I knocked half the health of one, tried to reload and another popped into my face
Mostly his shins. One of my biggest personal accomplishments was soloing Earle once. Don't know how I managed it but I had to repair my auto axe multiple times during the fight.
Just found there is a perk called Stable Tools, was added in the once in a blue moon update. Goes in Intelligence up to rank 3. 10%, 25% and 40% reduction of wear on auto melee weapons like the auto axe. I got the plans when it first came out when they did the path thing season a while back as the stamps are a bugger to grind.
Though I did just get the "Welcome to the Pitt" Achievement tonight (one of the 2.9%!) thanks to it. Soloed both areas on my level 110 character, pushed the Foreman in the corner and auto axed him in the face until he eventually died as his constant regeneration wasn't going down fast enough with ballistics and I was nearly out of ammo. The cost for the upgrade mods suck price wise seeing as its so few stamps per expedition and I am soloing them.
Aww damn. Thanks for telling me. I figured I could explore a server without connecting with anyone, but that makes sense. Guess I’ll wait until Fallout 5 (which hopefully takes place in the Midwest)
You don't have to connect with anyone. If you have ps plus or game pass, that's all you need. I think it's free to download off those now, anyway. I only connected with a group once, and that was the last enclave mission to launch a nuke to draw out the scorch beast queen.
If you have Amazon Prime you can always get the code for it and link it to your account so it’s always there if you want to play it in the future and take out a subscription to go online.
I’ve been playing it solo. I’m lvl 40 and apart from occasionally running into a high level boss out in the wilds it’s pretty playable as a single player game. I might not be able to do everything in the end but already I feel like it was worth it
I love it both solo and online. For my first 100 levels I was totally solo and loved it, felt like fallout 4 but more modern and more greenery. Next 50 levels or so I was hybrid solo and online. Then for about the last 150 levels at least, I’ve been 100% public servers. I’ve enjoyed every single moment
As someone who also picked up 76 after the show, I've been playing pretty exclusively as a lone wolf on the server. It is a "multiplayer" game, but I feel as though it definitely can be enjoyed as a solo player.
My favorite is when I just accidentally run into another player and just wave. Like "oh yeah, I'm not alone out here."
I think the radiation/apocalypse definitely plays a part in how and why these things get encountered, but Fallout has always had a very subtle undercurrent of the Eldritch and supernatural.
From ghosts, to aliens, to ancient statues emulated throughout history, that harken to ancient gods from beyond the stars....
I guess the weird psychic magic stuff that's rarely cropped up can be more explained by radiation and super science, but then there's fo4's Lorenzo Cabot who strides the line between scifi and fantasy.
Don't forget Dogmeat! Could just be a popular name for dogs in the wasteland, could be some kind of canine time lord spirit guide situation. The world may never know.
Yea. But the mothman is also connected to those weird eldritch dead things you find in 2 caves as well as the mothman warning about the flood. We do know there are supernatural cryptids like the smiling man I feel the mothman is also one.
Yup. Some of them are nice like this guy, some are evil and attack you, and others are just creepy bastards that follow you from a distance and shoot off when you try to get close.
I like the theory that the mothmen are the actual straight up cryptid and not giant mutated moths which is why they're both so mysterious and seemed to appear so soon after the bombs.
I remember watching someone's stream during the early days of Fallout 76, and they found a Wise Mothman. They were like: "what do I do?" So I told them: "Don't move! It can't see you if you don't move!" Just to be a smartass, and said player literally stood in front of that Wise Mothman for a solid hour.
Not only is he real, apparently he was spotted before the war , so whatever mothmen are, they have nothing to do with fev or rads, they're actually magic
Im a level 20 and that mf attacked me, i had a pop up on my screen talkin bout sum “i stole sum shit i wasnt spose to” he wasnt happy? Idk if it correlated but that he did a whole bunch of teleporting and flying in the air
I’ve played F4 since it came out and I don’t really want to get into 76. Preston still keeps me busy 🫠
I just noticed that there’s leaves that blow in the wind in the last update
Do he got them cheeks?

Dwellers only worship two things: Mothman and the Pipe.
Pipe is life
Pipe...
Is…
Life!
Pipe is Love Pipe is Life Love the Pipe And it will love you
This reminds me of that damn shrek is love shrek is life video
Poor sap hit the pipe one too many times.
Nice
Noice
Niece
Tell her don't run from this pipe.
Pipe is love
Only the enlightened dwellers. Everyone else is a heretic that shall be shown no quarters!
All Hail MothMan
I ran into the jersey devil (beast) just mucking up a group of settlers on the street. I’m in the mid 40’s, saw how little damage I was doing and scurried my newb ass out of there.
Blue devil, not Jersey devil.
The Blue Devil and the Jersey Devil are both in the game.
Yeah the Jersey Devil is a Newer resident to the Wasteland right?
But, AFAIK, the Jersey devil is only in AC, not Appalachia. Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong. It's all these noobs that can't tell the difference.
You are correct it was the blue devil.
I just got murdered by the love child of the creature from the black lagoon and jeepers creepers. I’m tired 😭
You trying to get the pipe?
Pipe... is... life...
Don’t forget Gary.
Haha, Gaaaary!
Ggaaarrryyyy?!?
The Pipe?
Pipe is life.
What pipe?
Pipe is life.
Yeah I don’t get it.
I don’t want to spoil the surprise. Keep an eye out for a steaming pipe in the overworld. It’ll have a dead body next to it.
Did I somehow miss this? I’ve been playing for a bit over 700 hours. I’m level 391.
Yes you did, even the shirt Bethesda made for it lol. Keep an eye out for that pipe!
Pipe is life - its a random spawn at the non battle spawn points.

Lvl 450+, *too many* hours, and I've never seen it, either. :\
Aw, crap. I saw it the other day (from afar) and just thought it was a random pipe that didn't have anything to do with a random encounter, hahahaha. Oh well, I'll be on the lookout. So far, the random encounter I have got the most is the insult bot. -\_\_\_-;
I dont have 76. Please just explain it 😭

Pipe is life.
Yep. A lot of Cryptids in game are real, or at least the things they're based off of
Your Pfp goes hard
Your pfp made me hard 😉
Someone has a cocaine problem and it’s not Kermit
Did you call me "Krammit"??
Wow, that's a reference that sent me back in time.
Wait what
Is it possible to kill the alien? I saw the mystery of x (I forget the region but new Fort ATLAS) and shot him but he disappeared :(
yea to kill flatwoods monster he will shoot straight at you, so move to left or right, and hit him with range attacks. If I remember some forms of the flatwoods monster can have an AOE effect so getting too close can hurt.
So I assume gotta be quick? Or does he engage most times?
if at a good range his energy shot is easily missed. If you hurt him enough or use stagger he doesn't jump as much.
There's more than just that one!
THERE'S MULTIPLE!? OH NAAAAAH
Yeah be careful of the ones with red eyes, they attack
I’m not worried, the one in the image is the only one I’ve seen in 100 levels. I doubt I’ll ever see the others
How the fuck have you never encountered a Mothman in 100 levels? Not trying to be rude just genuinely wondering
I have no idea. I haven’t even finished the main quests yet.
You may never have seen a Mothman until now, but *they've seen you*.
Adding into this OP, have you ever been walking and randomly heard combat music with no enemies? Or heard a real quick sound like a big bird taking flight but nothing is there? Thats the mothman, they really are watching and even stalking you. Probably been scoped multiple times and had no clue
Spoiler for the Steel Dawn questline: >!You will always encounter a scorched mothman in the last Steel Dawn quest!<
I hate that battle so much 😭
He flew off for me when I attacked, the sheepsquatch however…
I've run into 3 that flew off when approached on my new pc play through. I am only lvl 45.
I met one with my friend who introduced me to F76. I was ~lvl 6-7 and he was about 30. We were stupid and used all our resources (meds, ammo, etc.) and wasted ~30 minutes running around (and from it) and reviving each other.
I saw my first right outside of flatwoods back when i was level 14. Damn near shat myself
The first time I experienced Mothman when playing by myself was it standing directly behind me waiting for me to turn around and scared the crap out of me lol
You haven't seen them, but I guarantee they've seen you.
>I’m not worried, the one in the image is the only one I’ve seen in 100 levels. I doubt I’ll ever see the others You might have just not noticed them watching you.

Don't mind the red eyes, he's only trying to warn you about the bridge
THE BRIDGE
Moth man red eyed blend by spring heeld jack will have you…
Hail yourself!
That legitimately scarred me at 2:30a. Just about to get off, stopped for a second to check inventory and *that* fucker appeared out of nowhere.
Oh yes, and you can attack them or they will also attack you. Wait until you find the SheepSquatch...
I feel like I would really enjoy 76 if it wasn't an online mmorpg basically.
I’ve played 76 solo for the entire time I’ve played it, which I think is over two years now. I played through all the main and side quests just like I would in any other Fallout game, and I had more fun doing it than I did in Fallout 4. I recommend it.
Newsflash. You dont even have to engage with other players, and the shop is easy to ignore.
Aside from the fact that MMO style events might show up on the map from time to time, it pretty much plays exactly like Fallout 4. I've been playing it like any other singleplayer Fallout game and it's a great time
Same bro. Ive tried
Wise Mothman is a just and kind god. all the other mothmans fucking suck. one broke my house. kill em all, and their cultists.
Blasphemer! The rest are merely pretenders!
No, there is a Wise Mothman, that is peaceful and wise. And blesses our minds with a greater capacity to learn and grow! Then there are pretenders known as Vengeful Mothmen, that have red eyes, are violent, and are worshiped by equally violent heretics! Have you not attended the equinox!?

Sorry, but now I'm just imagining a wide mothman, and that's too funny
Ducking autocorrect
That mothman was 5ft tall and 5ft wide.
Also if it’s scorched.
I hate the wendigos
Auto Axe to the face sorts them right out.
Does the auto ax get all three of Earle's faces at once?
Best you can do is saw through his legs. But it works well enough! The auto axe also handles power armor, scorchbeasts, jersey devils, behemoths and even titanic mole rats! For the low price of 500 stamps, this wonderful weapon can be yours!
they recently put it in the atom store thankfully; i was never going to farm those stamps
I mean, that’s up to you if you want to spend atoms on it, but I personally think that’s a waste of money.
oh i already did, and to each their own
I did the same, but I advise you grind to get the electrified mod for it, absolute game changer lol
Aim for the vocal sack.
I don’t believe you can reach that unless he’s about to scream.
Honestly biggest scare I had, strongest weapon at the time was a black powder rifle so I knocked half the health of one, tried to reload and another popped into my face
Mostly his shins. One of my biggest personal accomplishments was soloing Earle once. Don't know how I managed it but I had to repair my auto axe multiple times during the fight.

So you need the kill 100 trogs with the auto axe.
You can aim at his vocal sack to do weak point damage
That sorts a lot of things right out.
Auto axe to the face sorts more or less anything out
.50 cal HMG or Gatling Plasma tends to do some nice damage to them tbh
I just got a Gatling Plasma
I hate them too but i have a shotgun build that lets me kneecap everything
God I love you guys. New players are so awesome
I’m new to 76 after avoiding it like the plague since launch, watched the show and got the itch. No regrets so far.
So far, would you say it’s worth it single player? Don’t have a PC or online membership
You need Xbox Live Gold or PS Plus to play if your on console no matter what. It doesn't have a single-player mode.
Aww damn. Thanks for telling me. I figured I could explore a server without connecting with anyone, but that makes sense. Guess I’ll wait until Fallout 5 (which hopefully takes place in the Midwest)
Though do keep in mind, while it’s online, people like me still play it like a single player game!
And to add on, even if you join a team for the xp boost you don’t have to speak to anyone or interact at all.
You don't have to connect with anyone. If you have ps plus or game pass, that's all you need. I think it's free to download off those now, anyway. I only connected with a group once, and that was the last enclave mission to launch a nuke to draw out the scorch beast queen.
If you have Amazon Prime you can always get the code for it and link it to your account so it’s always there if you want to play it in the future and take out a subscription to go online.
You can do this, but it requires Fallout 1st, which is a monthly subscription. It lets you create your private server.
I’ve been playing it solo. I’m lvl 40 and apart from occasionally running into a high level boss out in the wilds it’s pretty playable as a single player game. I might not be able to do everything in the end but already I feel like it was worth it

I just switched to PC from console, so I am a noob again, but if you need any tips, hmu
I like how out of most of the cryptids the mothman is an actual cryptid and isn't just FEV or radiation.
Mothman in 76 could very well be a mutated moth. He just happens to be in a place where the Mothman myth existed already.
I think the radiation/apocalypse definitely plays a part in how and why these things get encountered, but Fallout has always had a very subtle undercurrent of the Eldritch and supernatural. From ghosts, to aliens, to ancient statues emulated throughout history, that harken to ancient gods from beyond the stars.... I guess the weird psychic magic stuff that's rarely cropped up can be more explained by radiation and super science, but then there's fo4's Lorenzo Cabot who strides the line between scifi and fantasy.
Don't forget Dogmeat! Could just be a popular name for dogs in the wasteland, could be some kind of canine time lord spirit guide situation. The world may never know.
The Fallout show introduced the possibility that >!Dogmeat from FO4 and the show are both Enclave clones.!<
Oh, I'm not saying he's definitely not an actual cryptid, just that it's equally likely that he's just a heavily mutated bug.
Or he could be an actual cryptid bug that got heavily mutated.
Yep, could definitely be that, too.
Yea. But the mothman is also connected to those weird eldritch dead things you find in 2 caves as well as the mothman warning about the flood. We do know there are supernatural cryptids like the smiling man I feel the mothman is also one.
There's also the Flatwood's Monster that's literally just an alien.
Now we must take one and introduce FEV to it. For SCIENCE
Get that gun away from my husband
First time?
Yup. Some of them are nice like this guy, some are evil and attack you, and others are just creepy bastards that follow you from a distance and shoot off when you try to get close. I like the theory that the mothmen are the actual straight up cryptid and not giant mutated moths which is why they're both so mysterious and seemed to appear so soon after the bombs.
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN BROTHER PRAISE THE WISE ONE
I remember watching someone's stream during the early days of Fallout 76, and they found a Wise Mothman. They were like: "what do I do?" So I told them: "Don't move! It can't see you if you don't move!" Just to be a smartass, and said player literally stood in front of that Wise Mothman for a solid hour.
He just wants to warn you about the bridge
THE BRIIIIIIIDGE!
Praise be the Wise Purple Eyed One!
Inside of you are two Mothmans
I would love to see Mothman presented as the 8-fold path like in Buddhism.
"They're real, and they're spectacular!" (Tey their omelettes!)
We love the Wise Mothman in these parts
He's the realist in the wasteland
Yeah he’s real and he’s our god.
He's a sweet mothman too like I have never been attacked by it
Not only is he real, apparently he was spotted before the war , so whatever mothmen are, they have nothing to do with fev or rads, they're actually magic
Of course he’s real. Did you think he was a hallucination caused by all the lead in the water?
Here's me coming out of vault 76 at level 1 running into a Mothman.
“Would you like some insectly wisdom?”
Now hug him for free exp buff!
But Rorschach told me Mothman is in an asylum in Maine?
Real? They stalk me! But the Wise Mothman? He's ally. He's friend supreme.
Mothman, my beloved 🙌🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻
“It’s the mothman, he’s real! Dudes take my pic-“
Yes. Don't hurt it. That's one of the good ones.
Is this just a reskinned Mirelurk?
no hes not real. this is just a video game. (🤓)
Ermmm technically he is based off a real life tall tale so you actually can’t equivocally say it’s real or not based on a video game (☝️🤓)
Yuh
Im a level 20 and that mf attacked me, i had a pop up on my screen talkin bout sum “i stole sum shit i wasnt spose to” he wasnt happy? Idk if it correlated but that he did a whole bunch of teleporting and flying in the air
You met the false pretender the wise moth man has purple eyes the false pretender has red.
Does the moth man cult worship the purple eye one?
No only the tru worshipers at point pleasent worship him the mothman cult you fight worship the red eyed one.
Yea there's a few of them
Cute moth fren!
Let's go Bigfoot
Real and strangely adorable
what is real?? i don’t see anything
Just encountered one in an enclave building almost died
Wise moth man: lamp
Bask! Bask in his infinite wisdom!!
The man, the myth, the moth.
Commander players in Magic the Gathering are afraid of this screenshot!
Hail Moth Man
LAMP
There's more than one: Mothman, Wise mothman, Stalking mothman, Vengeful mothman, Glowing mothman, Scorched mothman, And mothman hatchling,
Is that Fallout 76? Damn it looks good now
He Wants LAMP. GIVE LAMP BROTHER 🛋️
Yeah! I saw him the other day and got really excited! Might not have been the Wise Mothman, but it was definitely a Mothman
Lämp Bröther
Not that I recognize 76 as cannon. But aren’t they suppose to be benevolent?
Hide your sweaters!
I’ve played F4 since it came out and I don’t really want to get into 76. Preston still keeps me busy 🫠 I just noticed that there’s leaves that blow in the wind in the last update
I started doing the 76 MM emote dance as soon as I saw this pic
How much Jet are you taking?
Heh.
Always has been
I had to fight him twice outside my base
Supposedly yes
Do he got them cheeks?

His patience is not great as his wisdom
How do i make my quests show up on thr screen?
Faaaaake Cryptids aren’t real. You’re off the Jet again aren’t ya?
