Characteristics
A monster with a carapace like tempered steel armor. The vapor around it is actually the expelling of trapped gases from the hordes of monsters Magnamalo has consumed. This has earned it the moniker "Wyvern of Malic." Its shrouded swings can inflict hellfireblight, which causes one to combust either spontaneously or when hit. Use a Deodorant or a Wirebug to rid yourself of hellfire.

How to Beat Magnamalo

Magnamalo Tips
Bring Water or Thunder Element Weapons Have an Extra Wirebug for Evasion Remove Hellfireblight Immediately Focus on Hellfire-Covered Parts Use Target Camera to Follow Fast Attacks Wirefall Out of Dangerous Moves

Bring Water or Thunder Element Weapons

Magnamalo 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.

Have an Extra Wirebug for Evasion

Magnamalo behaves aggressively and has an arsenal of quick and powerful attacks, making a third Wirebug incredibly useful for evading attacks and removing Hellfireblight.

You can obtain a third Wirebug by approaching the wild Wirebugs found scattered around every locale in the game. However, note that third Wirebugs are not permanent so take time to replenish them when you can!

Wirebug Location: How to Get and Use Wirebugs

Remove Hellfireblight Immediately

Some of Magnamalo's attacks can inflict Hellfireblight, a detrimental status effect that makes you explode when an attack knocks you back or after a certain amount of time has passed. Repeatedly evade, Wiredash, or use Deodorant to cleanse yourself of Hellfireblight.

Wiredash is Recommended

Using Wiredash to cleanse Hellfireblight is the recommended method as it leaves behind a Hellfire Orb when used. When Magnamalo attacks into a Hellfire Orb or gets caught within its timed explosion, it can cause a knockdown.

Focus on Hellfire-Covered Parts

When Magnamalo's body parts become covered in Hellfire, they turn into weak points which you should focus on to maximize your damage output.

In addition, dealing enough damage to these Hellfire-covered parts will cause the Hellfire to dissipate and knock down Magnamalo, making the monster even more vulnerable.

Use Target Camera to Follow Fast Attacks

When in Hellfire mode, Magnamalo will hit harder and become faster. Because of this, it can easily move out of sight and catch you off guard, so we suggest using Target Camera to recenter your point-of-view towards Magnamalo!

Wirefall Out of Dangerous Moves

When caught in one of Magnamalo's Snatch and Blast attacks or another one of its other dangerous combos, remember to use Wirefall to move yourself out of harm's way and prevent yourself from being sent back to camp.

Magnamalo Enraged Forms

Magnamalo enters various enraged forms throughout the fight, with each new form more dangerous than the last. Recognizing each of these forms and their capabilities are vital to defeating Magnamalo.

Purple Hellfire Mode

Purple Hellfire Mode
Purple Hellfire Mode: In this form, the hidden spikes on Magnamalo's back fan out and it expels purple Hellfire from various parts of its body. Knock it out of this form by dealing damage to its Hellfire-covered parts.

Reddish-Purple Hellfire Mode

Reddish-Purple Hellfire Mode
Reddish-Purple Hellfire Mode: Magnamalo will coat itself again with Hellfire, giving its flames a reddish-purple color. Attacks are further intensified and movement speed is increased. This form dissipates after Magnamalo performs its Exploding Divebomb attack.

Upright Spikes

Upright Spikes
Upright Spikes: When Magnamalo's health is lowered to a certain level, spikes will extend from its entire body and will act more aggressive towards the hunter.

Unique Moves Per Hellfire Parts

When certain body parts of Magnamalo are covered in Hellfire, it indicates certain changes in its moveset and behavior. Recognizing its capabilities when in Hellfire Mode is key to avoiding some of its most dangerous moves.
