Dauntless, the co-op action RPG that takes clear inspiration from Capcom’sMonster Hunterfranchise, is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One as a free-to-play game. LikeMonster Hunter,Dauntlessis all about hunting large beasts - called Behemoths in this game - and so it’s important that players know how to start a hunt.

WhenDauntlessplayers first boot up the game, the first thing they will need to do is complete the tutorial hunt. Afterward, they can explore Ramsgate, which is theDauntlesshub world. It’s here where players will be able to interact with merchants as well as accept hunts and embark on them.

To start a hunt inDauntless, players need to visit the Hunt Board in Ramsgate. Doing so will give players a list of Behemoths that they can try to hunt. Upon selecting a Behemoth to hunt,Dauntlessplayers will then be paired with three others (assuming that they don’t have a full party already) and will be on their way.

How to Hunt with Friends

Dauntlessis primarily a co-op game, and while players can find plenty of success playing with random people, it’s understandable that some would prefer to play with their real friends instead. Luckily,Dauntlessmakes playing with friends online pretty simple and straightforward.

Open the social menu to invite friends to playDauntless. Then the host player can go to the Hunt Board and select a hunt for the group to partake in. This should work even if invited players aren’t appearing in the host player’s Ramsgate hub world, so don’t worry too much about that.

Teaming with friends should make playing throughDauntlessmuch easier. It will help players complete quests quicker, and therefore help them getpopular weapons like the Repeatersas fast as possible. Not to mention the Behemoths can be tough to defeat without a competent group, so players will definitely want to go in prepared and with people that know how to play.

Dauntlessis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
