Fallout 76 features several creatures that can be both impressive and intimidating, especially for new players. One notable creature returning from earlier parts of the series is the Yao Guai.
Yao Guai look like mutated bears and come in various types. Despite their differences, all of them can serve a purpose, whether it’s cooking their meat into Yao Guai ribs or other uses. However, they aren’t easy to find. We’ve tracked down a few locations where you’ll have a good chance of encountering these creatures.
Where to Find Yao Guai
Yao Guai appear at fewer regular spawn points compared to many other creatures in the game, and some of their locations don’t always guarantee their presence.
Important Locations with Guaranteed Yao Guai Spawns:
- Mountainside Bed and Breakfast — This location often has two Yao Guai at once.
- Dolly Sods Wilderness — Located in the east part of the map.
- Site Alpha — Found in the east-central area.
- Mountainside Bed and Breakfast — Located in the south-central region.
While Yao Guai tend to roam around these spots, they don’t stay in the same place all the time. It can take a moment of patience to find them, as they usually follow known routes. Spending enough time in one location increases your chances of spotting these creatures, as they tend to follow predictable paths.
Since Yao Guai are a bit more difficult to track down than creatures like Mole Rats, it’s important to make the most of what you gather from them. Use all the resources and strategies available to increase your chances of surviving encounters and making use of their valuable materials.
