Dauntless update 1.31 June 25 patch notes:

Behemoths:

THRAX

Slayers are taking down Thrax faster than we expected, so we’ve made some balance changes to extend the length of the encounter, while making part breaks more attractive.

  • Thraxes have increased health, but their limbs are easier to break.
  • Thraxes are less likely to become stuck outside the arena.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Thraxes to disappear after the portal train attack.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause wounding not to work on Thraxes.

RIFTSTALKER

  • Fixed a bug that caused Riftstalkers to lose their hitbox when leaving a portal.

NAYZAGA

  • Fixed a bug that could cause Shadowtouched Nayzagas to lose their hitbox after using a portal.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause wounding not to work on Shadowtouched Nayzagas.

QUILLSHOT

  • Fixed a bug that could cause players to get stuck inside a Quillshot.
  • Improved the side-spinning shooting attack to better sync the animation with the damage.
  • Fixed an issue where broken quills wouldn’t change to the broken texture.

CHARROGG

  • Charrogg lava balls will now explode if they fall off a cliff, instead of becoming stuck.

KOSHAI

  • Shadowtouched Koshai projectiles are no longer missing materials on consoles and PCs with low detail settings.

POWER ADJUSTMENTS

As we continue to tune the early- to mid-game progression, we’ve found that the power/difficulty curve is leaning a little too heavily into difficulty, so we’re adjusting the power and threat levels of a host of regular and Dire Behemoths.
