How to Beat Great Izuchi

Great Izuchi Tips
Kill the Smaller Izuchis First Open to Attacks After Tail Slams Knock Great Izuchi Down

Kill the Smaller Izuchis First

Killing the smaller Izuchis that follow Great Izuchi around is highly recommended. These smaller Izuchis mimic Great Izuchi's attacks and can interrupt you while you focus on the larger threat.

However, note that these small Izuchis can respawn after a short while since the Great Izuchi occasionally lets out a summoning howl when it needs help.

Open to Attacks After Tail Slams

Great Izuchi's Tail Slam attack causes its tail to get stuck in the ground, leaving it vulnerable to attacks. Use this opportunity to land your strongest attacks and deal as much damage as possible to Great Izuchi!

Knock Great Izuchi Down

Dealing enough damage to Great Izuchi and breaking its body parts will cause it to get knocked down. Use this opportunity to deal as much damage as possible before it recovers.

Great Izuchi Master Rank Attack Patterns

Performs Tail Slam Attacks More Often

Great Izuchi does not get any new attacks in Master Rank. However, it tends to perform its Tail Slam and Hanging Tail Slam more often, so prepare to deal with these two attacks constantly throughout the hunt.

Name	Description
Coordinated Attacks	Great Izuchi launches a coordinated attack together with its smaller Izuchi companions.

Coordinated Attacks

Coordinated Attacks Attack Information

Coordinated Attacks: Great Izuchi can launch coordinated attacks together with its smaller Izuchi companions. These attacks can be any of Great Izuchi's grounded moves, so take care when all of the monsters prepare to attack. These coordinated attacks can be difficult to avoid as the monsters can attack in a row or from different angles. We suggest using Wiredash to quickly dodge or performing a dive-evade when caught out of position to avoid getting hit.

Clawing Rush

Scratch Attack Information
Scratch Attack: Great Izuchi bares its claws before rushing forwards, scratching at hunters caught in its path. This attack deals moderate damage and knocks away hunters on hit. Evade sideways from Great Izuchi's path to avoid getting hit.

Claw Swipe

Claw Swipe Attack Information
Claw Swipe: Great Izuchi raises one of its clawed forelegs before swiping forwards towards the hunter, dealing moderate damage on contact. Dodge toward Great Izuchi's sides as it raises its claws to avoid getting hit.

Forward Bite

Forward Bite Attack Information
Forward Bite: Great Izuchi takes a few steps forward before biting at the hunter, dealing light damage on hit. Stay alert when positioning near Great Izuchi's head to avoid getting hit by this attack.

Rock Spit

Rock Spit Attack Information
Rock Spit: Great Izuchi spits out a ball of rocks and saliva towards its target, dealing light damage on impact. Keep an eye out for when Great Izuchi rears its head back to predict and avoid this attack.

Tail Stab

Tail Stab Attack Information
Tail Stab: Great Izuchi whips its tail above its head before swinging it around to stab the hunter, causing them to trip and dealing moderate damage on hit. Great Izuchi usually follows this move up with a Tail Slam, so prepare to guard or evade again after it performs this attack..

Tail Sweep

Tail Sweep Attack Information
Tail Sweep: Great Izuchi lifts its tail above its head before performing a wide tail sweep that deals moderate damage and knocks away hunters that stay too close to it.

Tail Slam

Tail Slam Attack Information
Tail Slam: Great Izuchi jumps back to let out a roar before rapidly flipping forward to slam its tail on top of the hunter, dealing heavy damage on hit and knocking them away. While this attack hits hard, it has a distinct tell and a linear path. React to Great Izuchi's roar and evade off to the side to avoid getting hit.

Hanging Tail Slam

Hanging Tail Slam Attack Information
Hanging Tail Slam: Great Izuchi leaps onto a nearby wall, hanging onto it using its scythe-like tail. After locking onto the hunter, it rapidly jumps off the wall to slam its tail on top of them, knocking them away and dealing heavy damage. Wait for the moment when Great Izuchi jumps from the wall and evade perpendicular to the path of its tail slam to avoid getting hit.

Consecutive Tail Spin Combo

Consecutive Tail Spin Combo Attack Information
Consecutive Tail Spin Combo: Great Izuchi lifts its tail above its head before executing three consecutive tailspins that end in a tail slam. Each attack in this combo covers a wide range and deals heavy damage. To avoid this combo, sheathe your weapon and evade perpendicular to the path of Great Izuchi's attacks.
