Learn how to use the Beast Legion's unique ground-based abilities, tracking, digging, and riding in Astral Chain. Recovered two-thirds through File 05.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Beast Legion is unique as it walks on the ground, unlike other floating Legions. It cannot Chain Jump across gaps but can reach airborne enemies.
  2. 2
    It attacks with spins, slashes, dashes, and a mouth cannon.
  3. 3
    While it is the second slowest Legion with average power, it has many useful utility abilities.
  4. 4
    Use Sound Tracking by holding ZL and moving the Legion with the Right Stick to detect hidden underground items.
  5. 5
    Use Digging by holding ZL and pressing A near dig spots to unearth items or buried enemies.
  6. 6
    Use Scent Tracking by pressing A near the Beast Legion and giving it an item to follow a scent to its source.
  7. 7
    Sense Chimeras by summoning the Beast Legion to make camouflaged enemies, like Arrow-types, partially visible for direct attacks.
  8. 8
    Ride the Beast Legion by pressing L to move faster than walking, though control can be tricky. The Beast Legion auto-dodges most attacks while you ride.
  9. 9
    While riding, attack with ZR or hold ZR for a Charge Attack, which can lead to a Sync Attack.
  10. 10
    Perform a Legion Counter (Beast) by getting a Perfect Dodge (a timed dodge) and responding with ZR and a ZL Sync at the end.
  11. 11
    Activate the Skill: Howl to stun enemies in range with a twenty-six second cooldown.
  12. 12
    Activate the Skill: Chain Drive to electrify your Astral Chain, damaging enemies on contact, with a fourteen second cooldown.
  13. 13
    Execute Command Skill: Beast Somersault by flicking the Left Stick away from and then towards the target, then pressing ZL to launch enemies into the air.
  14. 14
    Execute Command Skill: Beast Tornado by spinning the Left Stick in a circle, then pressing ZL to create a persistent damaging tornado.
  15. 15
    Perform a Ground Combo with Baton after a Sync Attack by attacking again and Syncing again.
  16. 16
    Perform a Chain Bind Sync Attack by Syncing after a Bind, then Syncing again.
