Tips and Strategies

Killing the Redmaw

Redmaw is a stronger version of the Thunderjaw. They both have the same weaknesses, but it's damage, health, and aggressiveness are much higher than the normal ones. Be sure to stock up on resources before taking on this monstrosity!

Remove the Disc Launcher using a Tearblast Arrow on the Redmaw's back and use it against it. Make sure you're not too close to the Redmaw, or you will get damaged by the Disc Launcher if you attack at that range.

Another use of the Tearblast Arrows is to remove its weapons and expose Redmaw's Body to attacks. Focus on revealing and hitting its Heart to deal more damage than usual.

We also highly recommend using Ropecaster to stop its movements and get a better angle on its weak points, especially the Heart. Just make sure you have enough spare materials for crafting, as tying it down once won't suffice.

Go for Headshots

Target the heads of the group of people who attacked Talanah. You can save resources before fighting the Redmaw if you go for headshots. Some of them won't die from a single headshot, but that won't matter if you have the Double Shot or Triple Shot skill.
