More so if we keep in mind that most of the games fans play have their own bestiary, born of the imaginary of their creators. But the classic mythical monsters that appear in legends are an entirely different breed: their legends exude respect, fear, and awe. This list spotlights the best open-world games where you face mythical beasts.

7 Dragon's Dogma 2

All The Classic Mythical Creatures Are Here

Griffins, Cyclopses, Drakes, the Dragon, and even a Sphinx, with all and her riddles: Dragon's Dogma 2 is the ultimate mythical beast slaying game, with a splendorous Open-World, and a unique approach to combat that makes players feel completely immersed in these epic battles.

The only downside is that its learning curve is quite crooked, and the difficulty levels (even lowered from the settings) can be a little overwhelming for new players. Still, it is undeniable that combining some of the mechanics from the Monster Hunter series with a classic Western RPG style was a great decision, and had incredible results.

6 Ark: Survival Evolved

Dinosaurs, Dragons, And More

What can be cooler than fighting against dinosaurs using primitive (and not-so-primitive) weapons? Fighting mythical monsters such as dragons, and be able to tame and use them to fight other dinosaurs and dragons.

At that, Ark: Survival Evolved did a great job, though its successor, Survival Ascended still lacks a lot of optimization to make its experience more enjoyable for the fans. The first game, though, still is one of the best games where you face mythical beasts.

5 Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Many Greek Myths Await To Be Hunted Down

From the Erymanthian Boar, to the infamous Nemean Lion, in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, players can face these mythical beasts in a one-on-one battle, and see who comes out alive.

And since these buffed monsters are quite fearsome, players will often find themselves on the losing side of these epic contests. Though a well-trained Mystios/Assassin can totally overpower these creatures, more so if they're equipped with the best legendary weapons.

4 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Harrassed By Dragons, Giants, And Werewolves

Skyrim remains one of the best Open World games in terms of player agency, freedom, and most importantly: non-scripted encounters. A game where a regular stroll through a village can become an epic battle to the death against a Dragon (with an inspiring soundtrack to boot) is hard to come by nowadays.

So, The Elder Scrolls V place remains undisputed among the games that allow you to fight mythical beasts or go on a rampage and murder an entire town while shapeshifted as a werewolf. But players shouldn't worry about the moral implications of such heinous actions, no one is going to judge them (except the Dark Brotherhood maybe).

3 The Witcher 3

Gryphons, Mermaids, Harpies, Leshen, Hags And More

The whole repertoire of the classic European Folklore is available to be fought in The Witcher 3. From the typical Werewolves harassing villagers, to the Royal Gryphons stalking the trade routes, and the sirens drowning poor sailors on the coasts of Skellige.

Its huge open-world setting offers a wide variety of biomes to explore while doing what Geralt does best: Slaying monsters and humans that are quite monstrous as well. If players enjoyed this series, they might be even more happy than ever since soon they will be able to experience the world of The Witcher again in its fourth iteration. This time, Cirilla of Cintra will be the monster hunter in charge.

2 Shadow Of The Colossus

Fight Giant Monsters Using The Power Of Courage

Shadow Of The Colossus is a huge game, and not only because players need to travel across an immense open-world to fight incredible mythical monsters, but also because it has reached a legendary status by itself.

The story of Wander, a young man searching for a way to resurrect his beloved Mono. Though the story itself has been critically acclaimed, its most characteristic feature is its epic battles against the humongous Colossi, creatures that make the earth rumble beneath their feet.

1 God of War: Ragnarok

Kratos Is A Master At Mythical Beast Slaying

The God of War series has always had players facing against mythical beasts in some incredible battles, and Kratos has already slain his fair share of monsters (and Gods) throughout his long career. But it is in GoW: Ragnarok where players will be able to experience the most incredible battles against some of the most notorious monsters of the Norse Mythology.

The battle against Garm is one of the peak moments in the game (tough in the end, it is more about freeing him than slaying him). Overall, the whole title has dozens of such experiences where players can enjoy unleashing Kratos's fury upon countless creatures and other mythological beings.
