How to Beat Arzuros

Arzuros Tips
Keep Honey on Hand Steer Clear of Arzuros' Full Body Tackle Focus on Attacking Its Rear

Keep Honey on Hand

Arzuros has a particular taste for Honey. If you have this item in your inventory when Arzuros grabs you, it will steal and eat your Honey instead of following up its attack, allowing you to recover and escape.

Bring Honey with you before going on the hunt or obtain some from nearby Gathering Spots to have an easier time fighting Arzuros.

Steer Clear of Arzuros' Full Body Tackle

Arzuros' Full Body Tackle has a deceptively large hitbox, so steer completely clear of its path whenever it performs this attack. When caught out of position, don't hesitate to dive-evade or use Wiredash to avoid getting hit.

Focus on Attacking Its Rear

Arzuros' primary weak point is its rear, so prioritize dealing damage to it as often as possible. However, stay alert for Arzuros' sitting attack as it can catch you off guard if you recklessly attack its rear.

Arzuros Master Rank Attack Patterns

Performs Grabs and Tackles More Often

Arzuros does not get any new attacks in Master Rank. However, it tends to perform its Grab and Toss and Full Body Tackle attacks more often, so prepare to deal with these two attacks constantly throughout the hunt.

Arzuros General Attack Patterns

Arzuros uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.

Low Claw Swipes

Low Claw Swipes Attack Variations
Low Claw Swipes: Arzuros stands up on its hind legs before swiping low thrice at its target, dealing moderate damage and knocking away hunters on hit. Dodging this attack is easy as each swipe is deliberate and slow. Note that Arzuros can perform a fourth claw swipe when enraged, so wait a while after this move occurs before starting a counter-attack.
Swiping Cross Claws Combo: Arzuros can also end its Low Claw Swipes with a Cross Claws Strike, potentially catching careless hunters off guard with the attack's longer reach.

Cross Claws Strike

Cross Claws Strike Attack Information
Cross Claws Strike: Arzuros stands up on its hind legs and dives toward the hunter, unleashing a crossing swipe attack using both of its claws. To avoid this move, watch out for when Arzuros raises its both of its paws and evade away from the path of the attack.

Sideward Claw Swipe

Sideward Claw Swipe Attack Information
Sideward Claw Swipe: Arzuros performs a heavy sideward swipe with one of its clawed forelegs, catching hunters that stick too close to its rear and sides and dealing heavy damage on hit. Keep an eye out for when Arzuros' rears back one of its paws to predict and avoid this attack.

Sitting Attack

Sitting Attack Information
Sitting Attack: Arzuros wiggles its hips before slamming its rear down on the ground, dealing heavy damage and knocking away hunters that stick too close behind it. Stay alert when positioning near Arzuros' rear to avoid getting hit by this attack.

Sudden Tackle

Sudden Tackle Attack Information
Sudden Tackle: Arzuros gets down on all fours before suddenly tackling the hunter, knocking them back and dealing moderate damage on hit. This attack comes out quickly and covers a surprisingly long distance, so stay alert when positioning in front of Arzuros.

Arzuros Charge

Arzuros Charge Attack Information
Arzuros Charge: Arzuros relentlessly charges toward the hunter, knocking away anything in its path and dealing moderate damage on hit. While performing this attack, Arzuros can change direction or stop midway, so stay patient and avoid reacting to this move early. Arzuros can also end its charge with a Hug and Toss or Full Body Tackle, so completely clear of its path when it performs this attack.

Grab and Toss

Grab and Toss Attack Information

Grab and Toss: Arzuros uses its body to pin the hunter down before grabbing them and violently shaking them around. Afterward, Arzuros tosses the hunter away before finishing them off with a tackling attack. The initial pouncing grab of this attack comes out quickly and covers a long distance, so don't hesitate to dive-evade to avoid getting hit. In addition, don't forget to Wirefall after Arzuros tosses you away to avoid getting hit by the follow-up attack.

Full Body Tackle

Full Body Tackle Attack Information

Full Body Tackle: Arzuros charges forward on all fours before barreling towards the hunter with its entire body, dealing heavy damage on hit and sending them flying upward. This attack has a deceptively large hitbox and can cover long distances, so don't hesitate to dive-evade when caught out of position. In addition, you can perform a Wirefall after getting knocked upward to avoid any follow-up attacks from Arzuros.
