Tips and Strategies

Set Up Traps before Investigating

It's better to set up traps before inspecting the suspicious-looking mound to help you with the upcoming battle. All of them are effective against the Rockbreaker, even the wire traps from Tripcaster weapons.

Move Quietly while its Underground

You won't get attacked by the Rockbreaker as long as you stay quiet above ground. You can throw a Rock on your inventory to lure it out away from you while it's underground.

Remove the Digging Arms

Use Tearblaster Arrows to remove all the Rockbreaker's Digging Arms. It will lose most of its mobility once they are gone, and it will be easier for you to hit it with your bow and arrow.

Destroy the Fuel Sacs

You can deal fatal damage to the Rockbreaker by destroying its Fuel Sacs to cause a large explosion. You can hit them freely if you manage to stun the Rockbreaker for a short while using Shock Traps, Shock Wires, Shock Arrows. Just make sure to shoot it from a distance, or you'll get caught up by the explosion!
