How to Beat Anjanath

Anjanath Tips
Be Aware of Anjanath's Enraged Mode Knock Anjanath Down Attack the Snout, Head, and Wings When Enraged Anjanath's Flame Breath Can Be Blocked Stay Mobile to Avoid Getting Hit

Be Aware of Anjanath's Enraged Mode

Normal
Enraged Mode

Anjanath's enraged state alters its body, causing its wings and snout to fan out and increasing its deadliness across the board.

This state also alters Anjanath's behavior and specific moves. Read more below:

• Anjanath unlocks the ability to produce flames in its throat and nostrils, allowing it to execute flame-based attacks.
• Anjanath's maw attacks can inflict Fireblight due to the buildup of flames inside its throat.
• Anjanath's attacks are generally faster and are less telegraphed.

Knock Anjanath Down

Leg KO
Head KO

Anjanath's large head and legs make it susceptible to knockdowns. Prioritize attacking and breaking its legs and head to keep it grounded and allow you to continue being on the offensive.

Attack the Snout, Head, and Wings When Enraged

When enraged, Anjanath's snout and wings fan out, and its throat organ comes to life, allowing it to emit flames.

While Anjanath is more dangerous in this state, it is also more vulnerable to attacks on its head, snout, and wings. Prioritize dealing damage to these body parts to maximize damage output when Anjanath is enraged.

Anjanath's Flame Breath Can Be Blocked

Shield users rejoice! Anjanath's Flame Breath can be blocked without the Guard Up skill. Take advantage of this opening and unleash your heavy-hitting counterattacks as much as possible.

Stay Mobile to Avoid Getting Hit

Anjanath may be a large monster, but it can be surprisingly fast and cover plenty of distance, especially when enraged. Play cautiously and avoid overcommitting against Anjanath to prevent taking unwanted damage.

Anjanath Master Rank Attack Patterns

In addition to its attacks in Low and High Rank quests, Anjanath uses the following attacks in Master Rank.

Upwards Flame Breath

Upwards Flame Breath Attack Information
Upwards Flame Breath: Anjanath lets out a beam of flames, dragging it upward from beneath its head. This attack deals moderate damage and can inflict Fireblight on contact. To avoid this attack, steer clear of Anjanath's head when it brings it downward while in enraged mode.

Delayed Ground Chomp

Delayed Ground Chomp Attack Information
Delayed Ground Chomp: Anjanath rears its head back for a few seconds before suddenly slamming it down for a heavy bite towards the ground, dealing heavy damage on hit. Keep your distance from Anjanath and patiently wait for it to perform the ground chomp to easily avoid this attack.
