How to Beat Fireclaw and Weaknesses

Use Freeze Arrows

The Fireclaw's body is weak against Freeze-based attacks, so use a bow with Freeze Arrows to inflict the Freeze effect to deal extra damage.

Aim for the Fire Sacs and Fire Unit

Destroying these components will cause a Fire explosion and will inflict the Fire effect on the Fireclaw. This is a great way to deal large bursts of damage to take down a Fireclaw quickly. Also note that this will disable the Fireclaw's Fire-based attacks, making it much more predictable.
