After all of the back and forth Picard and Dathon finally, come to an understand of what both are trying to do. Sadly, Picard is ‘beamed up’, by the Entierpise before the real battle could start. Which ultimately leads to Danton being mauled.

“Despite the episode’s popularity, the Star Trek fan community (being a science-fiction fan community, after all) has issued numerous gripes about “Darmok.” The most interesting of these is a general disbelief in the technological prowess of the Tamarians. How could a race that thinks in allegory ever accomplish faster-than-light space travel? Just imagine the day-to-day work of designing, constructing, or maintaining a complicated machine like a starship”(Bogost A "Star trek" episode shows the next phase of human communication).

I do have to argee with what Bogost is saying here. There was so much miscommuncation between Dathon and Picard from the beginning. That I cannot see a race like Dathon without this use of a communicator accomplishing light-speed on their own.

Dathon: His army, with fist closed

Picard: With fists closed. An army, with fists open, to lure the enemy… with fists closed, to attack? That’s how you communicate, isn’t it? By citing the example, by methaphor! (demonstrates that he understands) Uznai’s army, with fist open. (Star Trek, episode 2 “Damok”).

Even during the beginning of this part Dathon is used to the monster attack patterns however, he cannot fully communicate with Picard. Dathon does make mutiple attempts to push Picard away to understand that seperating to cover my ground is the best way to attack so whomever the monster attacks one of them can deal a killing blow. Us as the audience understand that Dathon is trying to cover my ground to defeat this monster.
