How to Beat Paolumu

• Attack the Head with Fire Weapons
• Stay infront of Paolumu

Attack the Head with Fire Weapons

Paolumu is very weak against fire, so bring fire weapons to the fight. If you're aiming to break parts, it is recommended to aim for the head and break its cheek pouches. If you're aiming for the tail, remember that only cutting weapons can break the tail.

Stay Infront of Paolumu

Paolumu is easier to fight when you stay on its face. When in the floating balloon state, dealing enough damage on the cheek pouch can knock this monster out of the air.
