Freeing the Fireback Mastodon in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a tense, multi-step encounter that tests your aim, timing, and awareness. This guide walks you through each device you need to disable, how to handle the Mastodon’s aggressive behavior, and the safest way to complete the objective successfully.
How to Free the Fireback Mastodon
In the new From the Ashes DLC in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora you will be tasked with freeing the Fireback Mastodon but doing so isn’t that easy. Start by shooting at the Mastodon in a continuous pattern at the Right and Left spiracle devices that’s on the Mastodon’s chest. You’ll have to be careful here though as the Mastodon might charge at you. Once you’ve gotten rid of the Right and Left spiracle devices, shift your focus to the Foot device.
The Foot device is attached to the left back leg of the Mastodon. For this one, you’ll have to be more focused and careful as the Mastodon would get quite restless now, so maintaining a safe distance is required. Additionally, you’ll have to deal with some enemies as well. Once you’re done dealing with the enemies, go to the Mastodon and take out your knife to help it get rid of the device at its foot. Once that’s done, your next objective will be to remove the Flank device.
The Flank device is on the stomach of the Mastodon. Keep aiming your shots at the Mastodon until it collapses and once it does, jump on top of it and remove the device using muscle work. Once the you’re done, the task will be complete.
