Threat Level	7/10	Rampage Type	ー
Major Weakness	Water	Other Weakness	Thunder

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.

The majority of Magnamalo's attacks involve its hellfire. If you become afflicted with hellfireblight, Wiredash to rid yourself of this status. You can counter its attacks by focusing on parts of its body that are emitting hellfire. If you can manage to ignite any of the vapor with your attacks, you can deal massive damage.

How to Beat Magnamalo

Use Endemic Life to your advantage Always have an extra wirebug for evasion and wirefall Equip weapons with Water or Thunder element How to get rid of Hellfireblight Avoid Hellfire Dust by going towards Magnamalo Don't go aggressive when Magnamalo is enraged Prioritize avoiding big attacks

Use Endemic Life

You can use Puppet Spiders to easily ride other monsters and take the fight to Magnamalo or Thunderbeetles to stun. The possibilities are endless!

Endemic Life	Effect
Stinkmink	Attracts monsters to follow you to a certain area to trigger a turf war.
Wailnard	Call out nearby Large Monsters to trigger a turf war.
Puppet Spider	Use this to instantly put monsters into a Mountable State.
Mudbeetle	Gives monsters Waterblight that softens their hide and receive more damage.
Thunderbeetle	Gives monsters Thunderblight that enables any attack to stun them when accumulated.
Blastoad	Explodes in place like a small bomb. Magnamalo will go down the first time you use this against him.

Have an Extra Wirebug for Evasion

Magnamalo hits fast and hard so we suggest getting a third Wirebug reserved for Wirefalls whenever you get hit. This effectively allows you to use any Silkbind attack (1 or 2 Wirebug costs) while having an extra Wirebug for evasion.

You can get the third Wirebug by approaching wild Wirebugs in every area. Take note, the third Wirebug is not permanent so take time to replenish it when you can!

Wirebug Location: How to Get and Use Wirebugs

Equip Weapons with Water or Thunder Element

As you can see, Magnamalo is weakest to Water, and its second weakness is Thunder. Exploit this weakness and bring weapons that deal Water or Thunder damage.

How to Get Rid of Hellfireblight

Ways to Get Rid of Hellfireblight

Method	Notes
Wiredash	Can be executed easily (zL + X / A / zR)
Evade	After rolling 5 times, Hellfireblight will go away.
Deodorant	An item you can get from the Item Box or the Tent that gets rid of Hellfireblight instantly.

Wiredash is Recommended

When you Wiredash while afflicted by the Hellfireblight, you leave behind a Hellfire Orb. It will explode after a certain period. When Magnamalo gets caught in the explosion, it will go down (but only once per hunt).

Avoid Hellfire Dust By Going Towards Magnamalo

When Magnamalo lets out the ring of Hellfire Dust around it, you can more easily avoid the wave by rolling into Magnamalo rather than rolling out.

Be Cautious of Foreleg Stomps

The rule of thumb when dealing with stomp attacks is to be near the stationary leg. Magnamalo will execute foreleg stomps for both its left and right legs so only attack when you are safe!

Don't Go Aggressive When Magnamalo Is Enraged

Magnamalo's enraged state is characterized by the bigger spikes on its back and the reddish-purple hellfire on its body. Its attack power is much higher in this state, so don't force yourself to do aggressive attacks during this state.

Prioritize Evading Big Attacks

When Magnamalo is gearing up for big attacks, like the Divebomb Explosion and the Hellfire Explosion, you need to prioritize getting out of the way and put attacking second. Sheathe your weapon and get ready to do an Emergency Evade (sprint away and press B when it's close).

Avoid Tail Stab Attacks by Moving Sideways

Magnamalo utilizes its tail for its long reach. Whenever you see it charging its tail for a tail stab, move sideways to avoid the attack.

Be Careful of Fast Attacks

When in Hellfire mode, Magnamalo will have increased speed and increased attack. It can easily get out of the camera frame and catch you off guard so we suggest using Target Camera to recenter the camera to Magnamalo!

Quick Tackle Attacks

If you keep on attacking Magnamalo's forelegs, it will decide to tackle you. This attack can catch most hunters off guard because the tells can easily be ignored.

Use Wirefall to Avoid the KO Move

When Magnamalo has Hellfire foaming from its mouth, be ready for its KO attack. It will instantly throw you in the air and explode blast from under you. The first attack will usually not kill you but the blast attack will so use Wirefall to recover and get out of the way.

Magnamalo Enraged Forms

Magnamalo will have various stages of enraged forms as the fight goes on - each more dangerous than the last. Knowing what to do during these stages is key to defeating the Hellfire monster.

Form	Description
Enraged	Magnamalo will attack faster and harder. Calms down after some time.
Purple Hellfire Mode	Magnamalo will exhuust purple Hellfire from various parts of his body. Remove by attacking Hellfire parts.
Reddish-Purple Hellfire Mode	Magnamalo will coat itself again with Hellfire, making it reddish-purple. Attacks are intensified and movement speed is increased. Removed after Magnamalo performs the one-hit KO divebomb attack.
Upright Spikes	Happens when Magnamalo's HP goes down to a certain level. Magnamalo will become more aggressive towards the Hunter.

Upright Spikes

When Magnamalo's health drops to a certain level, the spikes all over its body will stand upright. Magnamalo will be faster and more dangerous in this state so be careful!

Unique Moves Per Hellfire Parts

Knowing which part of Magnamalo has Hellfire helps in telegraphing the moves it will execute. Be cautious or aggressive depending on how confident you are in telegraphing its moves.

Body Part	Description
Face	Magnamalo will have Hellfire foaming from his mouth. This form is the most dangerous because he has access to a one-hit KO divebomb move.
Tail Tip	After slamming his tail, a Hellfire cone is produced in a straight line.
Back	His back will fume and exhaust Hellfire.
Forelegs	This usually activates at the same time with its back. Magnamalo becomes more agile at this stage and fly at a high speed.

Expel Hellfire by Attacking Parts

By attacking the part that has Hellfire, Magnamalo can be taken down and all Hellfire charges expelled. The part where the Hellfire is present is also its weak points so focus on it when you can!

Claw Crash

Magnamalo will drag its heavy claws to the ground. This attack gets a power up when he enters Hellfire Mode. Be wary because in this mode Claw Crash is accompanied by an explosion.

Tail Slam

Magnamalo will vertically slam its tail to ground in the direction of its foe. Quickly evade sideways when you see it raising its tail.

Hellfire Burst

Magnamalo will exhausts dust quickly, then trigger an explosion around its body. Different from the usual Hellfire dust explosion you won't see much of the Hellfire clouds it releases.

Tail Stab

Magnamalo will thrusts its tail forward reaching its target even from a distance. When you see its tail burning with Hellfire, expect that after it thrusts its tail it will release dusts that explodes in a matter of seconds! Dodge roll or wirebug away from the dust to avoid the explosion.

Double Dive Tackle

Maganamalo will leap upwards then dives its body to its foe. It can do it consecutively, sometimes followed by a rain of Hellfire Orbs! Be on your toes after dodging the first tackle and expect for second tackle or for Hellfire Orbs.

Hellfire Orbs

Magnamalo will rush towards Hellfire orbs after firing them. It is recommended to have Wirebugs in hand to quickly evade!

How to Use Wirebugs

Hellish Bite

A short distance attack where Magnamalo bite foes within its range.

Tail Swing

Sometimes after Maganamalo slaps its tail, it will swing its sharp tail around slicing its foe.

Snatch & Blast

After grabbing its target with its bite Magnamalo will fling its opponent upwards. Then set an explosion below where the target is expected to land. This could cause instant KO but you can Wirebug away from impact while in midair.

Hellfire Dust Explosion

Magnamalo will dissipate Hellfire Dust in an increasing radius to apply Hellfireblight to its surroundings and itself. This puts purple Hellfire on itself which increases its attack damage.

When he does the attack again, the Hellfire flames change color which further strengthens Magnamalo and gives it access to AoE Blast attacks!

Abnormal Status and Elemental Blight Guide

Divebomb Explosion

It's a quick charge attack where Magnamalo leaps and zooms down on its foe's location. There will be an explosion once it hits the ground. Best to stay clear when you see him leaping or use a flash bomb to cancel this attack when Magnamalo is in midair.

Hellfire Vortex

Magnamalo will charge its tail, moving it in a circular motion then releases a vortex Hellfire to its target. This attack can deplete your health quickly and causes Hellfireblight as well!
