In Horizon Forbidden West, the Behemoth machine has an equally unique and devastating attack that allows it to use anti-gravity to launch projectiles at Aloy. Taking out the Force Loader on the Behemoth will disable its anti-gravity attacks, saving players a lot of HP in battle.

Cauldron

In Horizon Forbidden West, Cauldrons allow players to override the machines within that Cauldron once they have completed it. Completing a Cauldron usually means traversing through its dungeon-like corridors and facing off against a boss at the end. The Behemoth is a part of the CHI Overrides Cauldron.
