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. It also bears flammable venom that burns fiercely and lingers on the ground when lit. Draw the beast to water for an easier fight. |

It can manipulate the umbrella-shaped crest on its head to curl up, fan out, or shut tight. Observe its shape closely, and you might be able to predict which attack it will use next.

Aknosom Tips | ||
---|---|---|
Bring Water or Thunder Element Weapons
Keep Nulberries on Hand
Prioritize Attacking Aknosom's Crest and Wings
Keep Aknosom in Wet Areas
Remember to Stay Mobile
|
Aknosom is most vulnerable to Water and Thunder. Bring weapons with these particular elements to take advantage of its weaknesses and make the fight less challenging.
Aknosom's fireball attacks can inflict Fireblight, which deals damage over time. Negate this potentially deadly status ailment by bringing Nulberries to the hunt.
You can also check your base camp's Supply Box at the start of the hunt for any free Nulberries.
Aknosom's primary weak points are its crested head and wings, so prioritize dealing damage to these body parts as often as possible.
Aknosom's fireball attacks tend to bounce and leave lingering flames on the ground. These flames make it difficult to close the distance to Aknosom and also inflict Fireblight on contact.
We recommend moving Aknosom toward wet areas to stop its fireballs from bouncing and causing lingering flames. You can do this by luring it with a Stinkmink or Wyvern Riding the monster towards these locations.
Aknosom is a fast monster and often chains its attacks one after another. Prepare to evade or guard at all times and avoid overcommitting with attacks to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed by this monster.
In contrast to its Low and High Rank variants, Master Rank Aknosom performs its attacks quicker and has improved tracking on each of its moves.
Additionally, Aknosom uses the following attacks in Master Rank on top of its moves from Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Retreating Somersault | Aknosom retreats backward with a quick somersault, knocking away hunters near its feet. |
Wild Fireball Scatter | Aknosom spits out fireballs that bounce wildly in different directions. |
Reckless Charge Feint | Aknosom feints its Reckless Charge to begin charging in a different direction. |
Sweep and Kick Combo | Aknosom performs two Wing Sweeps before quickly closing the distance with the hunter to hit them with a Backward Kick. |
Retreating Somersault Attack Information |
---|
Retreating Somersault: Aknosom retreats backward with a quick somersault, knocking away hunters near its feet and moving far away from its original position. Aknosom often follows this attack up with a Wild Fireball Scatter or one of its other moves, so stay alert while you close the distance back to Aknosom. |
Wild Fireball Scatter Attack Information |
---|
Wild Fireball Scatter: Aknosom spits out fireballs toward its left and right sides. These fireballs bounce wildly in different directions, leaving lingering flames on the ground and inflicting Fireblight on contact. Be mindful of your positioning when moving past or away from the barrage of fireballs to avoid getting hit. |
Reckless Charge Feint Attack Information |
---|
Reckless Charge Feint: In Master Rank, Aknosom can now feint its Reckless Charge to begin charging in a different direction, potentially catching careless hunters off guard. Aknosom can perform this feint multiple times during its charge and end its stampede with a flying Crest Slam, so stay alert when Aknosom performs this attack. |
Sweep and Kick Combo Attack Information |
---|
Sweep and Kick Combo: Aknosom performs two Wing Sweeps before quickly closing the distance with the hunter to hit them with a Backward Kick. The Backward Kick in this combo comes out very quickly and covers a surprising amount of distance, so keep your guard up even when far away from Aknosom whenever it performs these attacks. |
Aknosom uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Fireball Attacks | Aknosom spits out fireballs from its flaming beak. This attack has multiple variations. |
Crest Slam | Aknosom quickly slams its crested head on top of the hunter, dealing heavy damage. |
Wing Sweep | Aknosom performs a sweeping attack with one of its wings, covering a wide area and dealing moderate damage on hit. |
Backward Kick | Aknosom performs a jumping backward kick, knocking away hunters that get too close to its rear. |
Leg Scratch | Aknosom raises one of its clawed legs, tracking the hunter before bringing it down to scratch them. |
Hopping Pounces | Aknosom pounces towards the hunter with its clawed legs twice before landing a delayed jumping Crest Slam. |
Reckless Charge | Aknosom tilts its crested head down as it recklessly charges forward toward the hunter |
Aknosom can spit out fireballs from its flaming beak. These fireballs deal moderate damage and inflict Fireblight on contact, with some of them even leaving lingering flames on the ground.
Fireball Attack Variations |
---|
Triple Fireball Spit: Aknosom spits out fireballs in three directions, with each projectile bouncing on the ground and leaving a trail of lingering flames. Move away from Aknosom's head as it performs this move to avoid getting hit. |
Fireball Scatter: Aknosom spits out a barrage of fireballs, scattering them around the area in front of it. These fireballs dissipate upon hitting the ground. |
Retreating Fireball Scatter: Aknosom spits out fireballs as it flies backward, with each projectile bouncing on the ground and leaving a trail of lingering flames. Aknosom often follows this attack with a delayed Crest Slam from the air, so prepare to guard or dodge it after this move occurs. |
Crest Slam Attack Information |
---|
Crest Slam: Aknosom quickly slams its crested head on top of the hunter, dealing heavy damage and knocking them toward the ground. This attack comes out quickly and is a common follow-up to Aknosom's other moves, so stay alert when positioning near Aknosom's head. |
Wing Sweep Attack Information |
---|
Wing Sweep: Aknosom performs a sweeping attack with one of its wings, covering a wide area and dealing moderate damage on hit. Aknosom performs this move twice when enraged, so prepare to guard or evade again after this attack occurs. |
Backward Kick Attack Information |
---|
Backward Kick: Aknosom positions its rear near the hunter before performing a jumping backward kick, knocking them away and dealing moderate damage on impact. Evade toward Aknosom's sides when it performs this attack to avoid getting hit. |
Leg Scratch Attack Information |
---|
Leg Scratch: Aknosom raises one of its clawed legs, tracking the hunter before bringing it down to scratch them. This attack often acts as the start of one of Aknosom's combos, so prepare for follow-up attacks when this move occurs. |
Hopping Pounces Attack Information |
---|
Hopping Pounces: Aknosom performs up to two pounces, dealing moderate damage as it lands on top of the hunter with its clawed legs. Afterward, it performs a delayed jumping Crest Slam, dealing heavy damage and causing nearby hunters to flinch. Since Aknosom can pounce multiple times before its Crest Slam, watch carefully for the short pause after its final pounce to avoid getting hit. |
Reckless Charge Attack Information |
---|
Reckless Charge: Aknosom tilts its crested head down as it recklessly charges forward toward the hunter, knocking away anything in its path and dealing moderate damage on hit. This attack leaves Aknosom vulnerable for a few seconds, so quickly close the distance after it occurs to take advantage of this opening. |
