How to unlock the Beast Mode achievement in Darksiders III - Definitive Guide

Once you have the Storm Hollow go to the Catacombs and use it to hover across the previously inaccessible lava pool (Its the area with the wind and grapple spots). Here you will find the Unfocused Enoch enhancement. Equipping this automatically fills the havoc meter. At default it will take 33 minutes but with it fully maxed out it will take just under 6 minutes to fill up.

The Obscurus enhancement (Located in Forgotten Lake near the red glowing skeleton with the club) also generates more havoc when attached. However you need to physically use the weapon to generate it, while Enoch generates over time as long as its attached to a weapon. Put Obscurus on your whip and level it up to increase your havoc meter even faster.

I found a midgame setup to help demostrate a good location to grind in the video below

Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed


The South End has unlimited enemy spawns, which you can use to help fill up your meter faster. Once you get Havoc filled, teleport to the West End and you will find a large cluster of weak enemies.

While the South End is helpful for early grinding, I have since discovered that you can skip this step altogether once you have Obscurus and Enoch fully maxed (also I had arcane at level 20) Simply teleport to West End and proceed from this step like you would normally as seen in the video.

One critical tip to follow is to cancel your havoc form before the meter depletes. This can save over 50% of your meter with each grouping of enemies. The maxed enhancements fill up the meter so quickly you can have the meter filled in less than a minute as long as you only use up what you need.

The last thing to note is you need to die in order to get the enemies to respawn. This will be made extremely easy once the incoming patch adds the kill Fury option in the menu. But until that patch goes live on consoles, use the nearby cliff to drain your health and then find any surviving enemy to finish you off.

With this setup I got the achievement unlocked in about 45 mins

I did an easy difficulty playthrough and hard one. On my easy playthrough I just popped a ton of soul crystals and sold everything once I had the achievements and bought alot of havoc shards from the vendor. I then went to Blistering Bridge and killed the 10 or 12 skeletons after popping a havoc shard. After I did it I jumped down into the lava and died and repeated it over and over.

this as many other achievements can be obtained cumulatively in several playthroughs, as long as they are NG+ on the same save slot

Disclaimers up front: this is not my video, and I have not yet obtained the achievement but I have tested the technique shown and confirm that the glitch works.

As shown in the video - travel to "The Hulking Carcass" in the Bonelands. Stick to the right-hand side and draw the guy in the chair over with Salvation but do not agro any other mobs. Once chair guy is dead, switch to the left side and dodge backwards and forwards past the flag. Each time you dodge past, the game will spawn in two new mobs. Do this for as long as you want and then trigger havoc form. Rinse and repeat until done.

Never mind. Later the same day after a few kills in havoc the bar filled up right up to the high 90's popped it shortly after. Great solution

Hi all, since the previous method of infinitely spawning enemies has been patched, and grinding elsewhere would take forever, I decided to do some digging around for an alternative method. I played my first playthrough on Story, planning to do my Apocalyptic run on NG+, so I barely used Havoc form, and was at 3% when I finished the main story.

So, I found a video buried on YouTube, (under 400 views, I really did dig) showing an infinite enemy spawn, so full credit goes to the video creator Hugh Honey:



The video doesn't make it super clear, so let me lay out how to do this. Fast travel to Haven: South End and enter the church. Inside the church, break all the benches (trust me it's easier), then you want to go out of the hole in the left/east wall. There's a Suffering on the rock wall to the south east, a large creature with 4 arms, you want to get in range so that they scream, but not leap off the wall. The scream will spawn 3 smaller enemies. Head back inside the church and do laps of the pillars near the opening in the wall. Now every few seconds, probably about 15 or so, 3 more enemies will spawn and run in.

I used havoc form when about 150-200 enemies were there, but I don't know at what point the game will crash. I was on Series X, but Xbox One users might want to consider using Havoc form when the framerate starts to dip.

The best method on here, even if the video misses out possibly the most important details of getting this to work, but your description in the guide was spot on so nice work matetoast

In this video I will show you a fast and easy way to grind out your 1,000,000 souls along with getting your 666 havoc kills. Now I forgot to mention in the video you must die after getting your kills so that the enemies can re-spawn. Just go to another area with enemies and let them kill you or let the enemies that you are killing to fill the meter kill you. Make sure to grab those souls and they will all add up. Now the enhancement I would suggest using to make this faster would be the obscurus so that if you max it out it will have 25% havoc generated with desired weapon, and I would recommend putting it on the barbs of scorn.

This trophy will require quite a bit of farming - probably an hour or so. It doesn't hurt to have used Havoc Form during the game (rather than just saving it for bosses) to get some kills to save a bit of time later too.

A fully upgraded Obscurus Enhancement is helpful on your main weapon as this will enable you to build Havoc much faster. A fully upgraded Chaos Enhancement on another weapon is also useful as it has the passive ability to boost Havoc Form duration by up to 50%. The Enoch enhancement may also help (it passively regenerates Havoc) but it will need to be upgraded to be any real use and there are better things to spend your artifacts on.

Personally I found that the best spot to do this is the West End in Haven. If you run from the checkpoint, past the bus to the right, towards the bottom of the hill (pause a bit until 2-3 enemies drop down from the cave above), back up and into the carpark (go down 1 level, then back up and wait a bit for a few more to drop from the ceiling), you can then set it up so you can group a mob of 15-20 together in one of the narrower parts of the carpark. Activating Havoc Form once you're reasonably well-leveled will kill most of them close to you instantly and a few hits will clean up the rest. You should be able to then deactivate Havoc Form and still have 50-75% of your Havoc remaining. Force respawn, and then get a few more kills with your main weapon to build your Havoc back up to 100% and then just repeat.

Other spots recommended include the Blistering Bridge (skeletons prior to the area where you swing over the lava) and the South End (going through the church and back out into the graveyard, there is a large enemy on the wall who will repeatedly summon 3-4 enemies at a time if you don't attack him.

The method of using the flag in the Bonelands for infinitely spawning enemies is patched, and I found myself not needing to use specific spawn locations anyway.

My recommendation would be (requires The Crucible DLC, not completely mandatory but basically is):

- Complete the game on Apocalyptic for your first playthrough, just play normally to get through it as some bits can be a struggle, I ended up at about 12% completion for this achievement at that point. I think you probably could use Havoc Form more often than I did, but it does run out pretty quickly on this difficulty.
- Make sure to collect the Enoch weapon enhancement and use it as one of your 5 to upgrade to "Balanced". As per Senseless Ogre's solution this is located outside the Catacombs serpent hole, across some Storm Hollow Tornadoes, then in a lava pool to your right after some jumps.
- When you finish the game on Apocalyptic, and your achievements for that pop, and it asks what difficulty you want to choose for Armaggedon Mode (New Game +) just select cancel then load up your save, change the difficulty to Story then use Vulgrim to travel to the Crucible
- You can do it on a higher difficulty if you want, but I wasn't fussed to. You'll need 60 Crucible Tokens at the end, I finished it and got 69. You'll get 1 token for every 1,000 points you score, finishing a round without taking damage rewards you with another 250 points.
- During the crucible the skeleton waves are a good point at which to use HF too as they end up spawning quite a few enemies. I think after my crucible run I jumped from 12% completion to about 34%.
- Once you've finished the crucible and got your 60+ tokens, purchase the Panoply of Champions armor from Targon
- Move on to New Game + now (you'll just have to jump through the portal in the makers tree and defeat the final boss again)
- In this run equip the new armor you bought, this has two key stats:
>> Amount Of Havoc Bar Generated Per Minute: +11% to +24%
>> Havoc Form Duration: +120% to +148%
And make sure you have the Balanced Enoch enhancement equipped, which will generate another 18% of your havoc bar per minute.
I upgrade the Panoply of Champions once for the achievement and left it at that, the game chucks plenty of upgrade materials at you for upgrading more so feel free to, it won't be needed for the achievement though.

You should know the areas of the game from your first playthrough, so when you get into a new area run around and aggro all the enemies, once you have them all, or enough of them, go into Havoc Form, kill them all, then deactivate Havoc Form again (same as activating it, LB + RT).

You should find with most groups that this uses barely any of your havoc bar on this difficulty, and with the passive generation it'll be full very soon after. So you should be able to play the game with using it on basically every encounter, though I skipped using it unless there were 5/6+ enemies.

After finishing my first run + Crucible at about 34% completion I got this achievement on my second playthrough after first encountering Pride at the church near the South End serpent hole. What I then did was switch all my gear to stuff with Lurcher generating stats to work more towards getting Level 100.

This one may be the last achievement you get along with "BFA" as it is a total grindfest. To enter Havoc mode, you must press + as the spiral red icon begins to deplete. As there are not that many areas with many enemies, I found it best to serpent hole to Haven - West End. Run around to the far end and into the garage levels. Then go into the garage by the Stasis wall. Here, just corner yourself as all the enemies gather and you unleash Havoc mode. Equip an upgraded Obscurus to a weapon for the Havoc meter could fill faster. Also, press + again once you've defeated the group of enemies. This will save you on the Havoc meter. Since the game doesn't keep track on how many more kills you need, the achievement tracker does - you get 7% (or roughly 46 kills) this way.

The only downside is that you must die for this area to respawn with enemies again. Buy shards of Havoc from Vulgrim to speed up this process.

Same as all the other suggestions, go to the Cathedral and kite the enemies that continually get summoned back into the Church, and repeat. Things may start getting glitchy around 50-60 enemies, so be aware.

I used the balanced improvement of Enoch (located in the voids not far from the catacombs, the void of the storm is required), farmed at the western end of simple ghouls there are about 20 of them if you collect them all, after collecting, I organized a batch, left a couple to kill me and turned off the chaos mode (same as and turns on). As a result, after the revival, while collecting another pack of ghouls, the chaos form was completely filled. I also advise you to do it closer to the end, since as the game progresses you will already have farmed some amount.

I did it on the boss Laziness (fat green beetle). The first stage of the boss: he throws balls of snot that cause cockroaches, he just ran in a circle until he caused a maximum of cockroaches (you need to watch, at a certain moment, from the place where he throws the snot, beetles will stop coming out). After which he turned on Chaos and destroyed first the cockroaches he had summoned, and then those holding the boss’s throne. Cockroaches are very weak, they die in 1-2 hits, so the chaos level is spent very little. After which he died at the hands of the boss and ran back to him. We kill the summoned cockroaches, collecting the missing level of Chaos until it becomes active (cockroaches appear endlessly if you kill only the summoned ones, the main thing is not to touch those that wear the throne), and then again we collect the maximum of cockroaches and repeat the process.

There is no need to buy Chaos crystals and create hemorrhoids with flash drives, the boss checkpoint is literally around the corner, and gaining the missing level of Chaos takes <1-3 minutes, depending on the character’s leveling. In addition, farm lurchers and adamantine.

One option: you can save up more beamers, make a save on a flash drive, buy all the chaos (I got about 450 thousand souls worth of beamers during my playthrough), find a clearing where there is a lot of evil spirits and beat them all with chaos, knock out the trophy, return the save to the system and use souls in other directions, avoid unnecessary running around, as in my case.....

I followed the tips above and collected it at the Western end. The game often crashed when there were a large number of mobs, explosions, flying debris, etc. After re-entering the game, I found myself near Vulgrim and started over. It is noteworthy that the chaos fragment did not use up even half of the allotted amount - i.e. Even those who were killed during flights were counted. You can kill, exit the game and load from the checkpoint. Convenient for those who do not have the “currency” to purchase a large number of fragments.

In this trophy we are interested in 1 location: Western End! As the game progresses, we save up and buy chaos shards, about 40 pieces should be enough! We go to the location and collect mobs, there are 21 of them there. We collect them in a bunch, transform and kill! Then we die in another location and repeat until the trophy appears
