How to Beat Bellowback

Rupture the Cargo Refining Sac and Gullet

Fortunately, the most vulnerable component for the Bellowback is also its largest and most exposed component. Rupturing the Cargo Refining Sac will lead to an explosion that can kill the Bellowback in one arrow. We recommend high impact damage arrows to ensure maximum damage.
