Kulu-Ya-Ku Tips | ||
---|---|---|
Prioritize Attacking Kulu-Ya-Ku's Head
Stick to Kulu-Ya-Ku's Sides
Destroy the Objects It Carries
|
Kulu-Ya-Ku's primary weak point is its head, so prioritize dealing damage to it as often as possible, especially after stunning it or knocking it down.
Sticking near Kulu-Ya-Ku's sides makes it easier to react to and avoid most of its attacks, letting you spend more time dealing damage instead of dodging.
When Kulu-Ya-Ku has an object in its hands, it can be difficult to hit its head as the item it carries gets in the way. In addition, Kulu-Ya-Ku also gains access to more moves while it carries something.
We suggest destroying the rocks and jars that Kulu-Ya-Ku picks up by repeatedly attacking them. While hitting the objects does minor damage, doing so will make the fight easier in the long run.
In addition, Kulu-Ya-Ku often leaves itself vulnerable after its object breaks, providing an opening for easy damage.
Staggering Kulu-Ya-Ku also has a chance to make it drop the item in its hands, making it another way to prevent it from using any object it carries.
In contrast to its Low and High Rank variants, Master Rank Kulu-Ya-Ku moves faster and is more accurate with its attacks. It also takes less time to recover after performing an attack.
Additionally, Kulu-Ya-Ku uses the following new attack in Master Rank on top of its moves from Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Extended Rock Slide | Kulu-Ya-Ku slides a rock across the ground as it rushes towards the hunter, ending its stampede by slamming the stone on top of them. |
Extended Rock Slide Attack Information |
---|
Extended Rock Slide: Kulu-Ya-Ku lifts up the rock it carries before sliding it across the ground as it rushes towards the hunter, ending its stampede by slamming the stone downward. Compared to its shorter version in lower ranks, this move covers a surprising amount of distance and also tracks the hunter, so prepare to dodge at the last moment or dive-evade to avoid getting hit. |
Kulu-Ya-Ku uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Rock-based Attacks | Kulu-Ya-Ku often picks up rocks and jars from the ground to use as blunt weapons, slamming them on top of the hunter. This attack has multiple variations. |
Single Claw Swipe | Kulu-Ya-Ku rears back before lunging forward with a single claw swipe. |
Double Claw Swipe | Kulu-Ya-Ku lifts up one of its clawed forelegs before performing two quick swipes. |
Quick Pounces | Kulu-Ya-Ku performs up to two pounces, dealing moderate damage as it lands on top of the hunter with its clawed legs. |
Jumping Claw Slam | Kulu-Ya-Ku leaps towards the hunter, slamming its clawed forelegs on top of them. |
Peck Barrage | Kulu-Ya-Ku pecks multiple times with its beak, dealing light damage and knocking away hunters on hit. |
Kulu-Ya-Ku often picks up rocks and jars from the ground to use as blunt weapons, slamming them on top of the hunter. These objects also act as a form of defense, as they often block attacks on Kulu-Ya-Ku's head.
Weaponized Rocks Variations |
---|
Rock Slam: Kulu-Ya-Ku lifts up its rock and quickly slams it down on top of the hunter. |
Jumping Rock Slam: Kulu-Ya-Ku jumps toward the hunter to slam its rock down on top of them. |
Delayed Jumping Rock Slam: Kulu-Ya-Ku hops in place before jumping toward the hunter to land a rock slam at full force, dealing heavy damage and knocking them away on hit. |
Rock Slide: Kulu-Ya-Ku slides its rock on the ground as it rushes towards the hunter, knocking away everything in its path. At the end of its stampede, it slams the rock down on top of the hunter, dealing heavy damage. |
Rock Throw: When its rock or jar is close to breaking, Kulu-Ya-Ku can toss the object towards the hunter. Kulu-Ya-Ku often looks for another item after performing this move. |
Single Claw Swipe Attack Information |
---|
Single Claw Swipe: Kulu-Ya-Ku rears back before lunging forward with a single claw swipe, dealing light damage on hit. |
Double Claw Swipe Attack Information |
---|
Double Claw Swipe: Kulu-Ya-Ku lifts up one of its clawed forelegs before performing two quick swipes as it moves forward, dealing moderate damage and knocking hunters away on hit. |
Quick Pounces Information |
---|
Quick Pounces: Kulu-Ya-Ku performs up to two pounces, dealing moderate damage as it lands on top of the hunter with its clawed legs. This attack becomes stronger while Kulu-Ya-Ku carries a rock or jar as it slams the objects on top of the hunter as it pounces. |
Jumping Claw Slam Attack Information |
---|
Jumping Claw Slam: Kulu-Ya-Ku hops in place before leaping towards the hunter to slam its clawed forelegs on top of them, dealing heavy damage and knocking them away on impact. Dodge to the side as soon as you see Kulu-Ya-Ku jumping in place to avoid this attack. |
Peck Barrage Information |
---|
Peck Barrage: Kulu-Ya-Ku pecks multiple times with its beak, dealing light damage and knocking away hunters on hit. This attack can occur while Kulu-Ya-Ku is carrying a rock or jar. This attack comes out quite fast and becomes even quicker when Kulu-Ya-Ku is enraged, so stay alert when positioning near Kulu-Ya-Ku's head. |
