Official Description
A Bird Wyvern whose tail has evolved into a scythe-like shape, which it uses to attack its prey.

Once they find their prey, they unleash a flurry of combination attacks.

Starting Area

Great Izuchi Characteristics

Attacks Together with Smaller Izuchi

Great Izuchi always fights together with two smaller Izuchi. The three will always attack together so balancing your attention between all of them could be a challenge.

It is possible that killing off the two smaller Izuchi will make the hunt easier but they could respawn infinitely so you may need to find a way to fight all three of them together.

Great Izuchi Attack Patterns

Tail Slam Attack

Great Izuchi attacks by slamming its tail vertically in a straight line. Take note that smaller Izuchis will also similarly swing their tail! Evade to the side (left or right) or counterattack with wirebug moves!

Spit Attack

The Great Izuchi has a spit attack that may cause elemental blights. Based on the trailer, this attack looks liquid so it may be water blight. Either way, be careful because blights are a pain to deal with especially if you do not have nullberries.

Tri-Rush Attack

The Great Izuchi can launch a rush attack forward together with its Izuchi companions. Because their bodies are lined up side-by-side, it could be quite difficult to avoid. Try using Wire Dash to quickly evade!

Consecutive Tail Spin

Great Izuchi can execute a tail spin attack three times! Most hunters usually let their guard down after the first or second spin which leads to them receiving big damage. Whenever you see a spin attack, do not risk it - hold and wait if Great Izuchi will execute two more spin attacks. Sheathe your weapon or use wirebugs to evade quickly!

Tail Sweep Attack

This move is pretty quick so it can catch hunters sleeping. This is a staple move from this monster so try avoiding camping at his tail!

How to Beat Great Izuchi

Kill the Smaller Izuchis First

We suggest killing off the two smaller Izuchis before focusing on the bigger Great Izuchi. These two will always mimic their big brother so removing them from the equation can make your hunt easier. Gunners can make quick work of these small monsters while Blademasters can fill up their gauges before fighting the bigger Great Izuchi.

They will respawn after some time but the timer (around 5 minutes) is amply long for you to defeat Great Izuchi.

Open to Attacks After The Tail Slam

The tail of this monster will get stuck to the ground after a tail slam so it will be open for attacks! Use this opportunity to dish out powerful moves - just make sure you avoid that tail slam first!

Will Go Down If It Receives a Certain Amount of Damage

The Great Izuchi will go down after receiving a certain amount of damage much like its old-world counterpart, the Great Jaggi. It will ragdoll away from the hunter so use wirebugs to dash towards it and save time then dish out your most powerful moves!
