How to Beat Khezu

Use Fire Weapons

Don't Overcommit on Attacks

Use the Earplugs Skill

Khezu's Attacks Can Cause Paralysis

Use Fire Weapons

Enlarge

Khezu's main weakness is fire, as such fire elemental attacks will deal the most damage and drastically speed up the hunt.

Don't Overcommit on Attacks

Khezu's electrical discharge can and will fire off quickly and will knock you out of your combo and potentially stun you. Hunter's should be careful when attacking especially when using weapons that have long animations like the Dual Blades.

Use the Earplugs Skill

Enlarge

Khezu roars a lot and hunter's will often find their combos, and silkbind attacks suddenly interrupted by a piercing Khezu roar. Bringing the Earplugs skill will help mitigate this and sustain damage.

Khezu's Attacks Can Cause Paralysis

During a paralyzed state the hunter won't be able to move. Have your Palico or Palamute around to snap you out of paralysis quicker.

Khezu Attack Patterns

Neck Swing Attack

The Khezu can unleash a long-ranged swing attack. Ranged users need to be careful with this attack as its damage is high and the range can be surprising.

Electric Breath

The Khezu uses a slow electric breath in a 180-degree arc. It's extremely slow so it'll be fairly easy to dodge but make sure to bring lightning-resistant gear to be safe.

Electric Discharge

The Khezu can cover itself in lightning which will shock all enemies close to the Khezu. This is a nightmare for melee users but is a great vulnerability against ranged weapons.

Ceiling Latch

The Khezu can latch on the ceiling to perform an evasive maneuver. It will shoots balls of electricity to paralyze hunter. It is easy to dodge but is a hassle since the Khezu will be out of reach. Aim to weaken its legs to make it fall or use exhaust coating in your attacks!

Body Slam Attack

Khezu will spread its arms, jump up and slam its whole body to the ground with full force! This one is usually followed up by a huge opening but sometimes Khezu will chain this attack with an electric discharge attack so observe and act accordingly!
