Tips for Beating Golden Hippopotamus |
---|
|
The Golden Hippopotamus has several moves that can quickly close the gap between it and the player. It's highly recommended to avoid running away from it if you wish to restore your HP or apply buffs.
The Golden Hippopotamus has a move that makes it rear then swing its horn upwards. After using this move, the Golden Hippopotamus will reposition itself away from you. Use this time to heal up, apply buffs, or use items before re-entering close quarter combat.
The Golden Hippo does not use multiple combo moves on its own but it has an extremely short time interval between its attacks. Limit yourself to only attacking once or twice before preparing to dodge or block again.
Despite the Golden Hippopotamus being capable of using Sacred attacks, you'll instead want to pump up your physical resistance. Talismans such as the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman can greatly reduce the boss' damage output.
