Tending to stand on one leg, this monster somewhat resembles an umbrella. The Aknosom is highly territorial; it will spread out its wings and show off its characteristic comb to scare off threats.

Aknosom Attack Patterns

Beak Slam

Be careful of Aknosom's beak attacks that pierces the ground. Evade or use Silkbind attacks when possible!

Fireball Frenzy

Aknosom also has a fire-breath attack that stays in the hitting zone for a while. Be wary of this to avoid dealing with fire blight!

Reckless Tackle

Aknosom has a rush attack that can send hunters flying. This is pretty easy to telegraph because Aknosom will bow down before executing the rush attack so this is a fairly easy attack to avoid. When this attack misses, Aknosom will be immobile for a while so use this chance to attack the monster!

Wing Swing

Aknosom will spread its wings and perform a heavy attack! Be wary of the initial movement before it executes the attack and reacts accordingly. In addition, Aknosom will do this move twice when agitated so be careful!

Back Kick

Aknosom raises one foot off the ground and jumps closer to the hunter. It guards its head as it does a back kick, maximizing defense while going offense. This kick can knock you off your feet, so stay vigilant!

How to Beat Aknosom

Get Ready To Dodge/Block When Its on One Leg

Aim for the Wings and Crest

Bring Nulberries or Dodge when on Fire

Get Away When It Flies

Get Ready To Dodge/Block When Its on One Leg

The Aknosom telegraphs its attacks by standing on one leg. Be sure to avoid its attacks when you see it do this!

Aim for the Wings and Crest

Its weak spots are its wings and crest. Make sure to hit these parts to do maximum damage!

Bring Nulberries or Dodge when on Fire

Aknosom's fire breath attacks can make short work of unsuspecting hunters. Use a nullberry or continuously dodge to put out the flames!

Get Away When It Flies

When the Aknosom flies, it's about to fire its breath attacks around it repeatedly. Make sure to be on your toes whenever it flies around and beware of its ranged attacks until it lands.
