Goss Harag Hunting Tips

In hitting the accumulated frost on its forelegs, a hunter risks being afflicted with iceblight, but is rewarded by the creature being toppled when the frost is shattered. Areas that appear red when the creature is angry are the most susceptible, so focus your efforts there!

Status Effect Vulnerabilities

If an ailment has more stars it means that it has better effectiveness.

How to Beat Goss Harag

Goss Harag Tips
Break Goss Harag's Ice Weapons Position Behind Goss Harag Bring Nulberries Watch Your Wirebug Charges

Break Goss Harag's Ice Weapons

Prioritize breaking Goss Harag's ice weapons whenever they are active. Both of its ice weapons are considered weak spots and can potentially stun or knock down Goss Harag after they break.

Position Behind Goss Harag

Almost all of Goss Harag's attacks come from its front and reach directly in front of it. Positioning behind Goss Harag allows you to avoid most of its attacks and spend more time dealing damage instead of dodging.

Bring Nulberries

Some of Goss Harag's attacks inflict Iceblight on impact. Negate this potentially deadly status ailment by bringing Nulberries to the hunt.

Alternatively, you can check your base camp's Supply Box at the start of the hunt for any free Nulberries.

Watch Your Wirebug Charges

Most of Goss Harag's attacks are powerful enough to send hunters flying or lodge them in the ground long enough for potential KOs from follow up attacks.

Maintaining a third Wirebug or at least one Wirebug charge whenever you fight Goss Harag can save you in emergencies such as these.

How to Get and Use Wirebugs

Goss Harag Master Rank Attack Patterns

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

Double Ice Sweep

Double Ice Sweep Attack Information
Double Ice Sweep: Goss Harag raises one of its weapons before sweeping it across the ground twice, covering a wide range and dealing moderate damage on hit. This attack occurs when Goss Harag is in Double Sword and Sword and Block modes. Steer clear of Goss Harag's path as it performs this attack to avoid getting hit.

Charging Twin Sword Slash

Charging Twin Sword Slash Attack Information
Charging Twin Sword Slash: Goss Harag quickly creates its ice swords before rushing forward to perform a charging twin sword slash toward the hunter. This attack deals heavy damage and inflicts Iceblight on hit. Avoid this attack by moving out of the swords' range or evading underneath the blades and toward Goss Harag's rear.

Dislodging Slash

Dislodging Slash Attack Information
Dislodging Slash: After Goss Harag performs a Double Slam, it lets out a mighty roar before dislodging its ice sword with a slash toward one of its sides. Keep a close on eye on Goss Harag's head after it performs a Double Slam to avoid getting caught off guard by this attack.

Ice Shard Fissure

Ice Shard Fissure Attack Information
Ice Shard Fissure: Goss Harag shoves both of its blades into the ground, sending out two ice shards towards the hunter as it dislodges them from the ground. Afterward, it slams both of its swords down, sending a fissure towards the hunter that can knock them into the air. Carefully maneuver past the ice shards and evade perpendicular to the fissure's path to avoid getting hit.

Up and Around Slash Combo

Up and Around Slash Combo Attack Information
Up and Around Slash Combo: Goss Harag slashes upwards with one of its blades before performing a delayed roundslash that reaches 360 degrees around it. This attack deals heavy damage and inflicts Iceblight on contact. To avoid this attack, immediately move away from Goss Harag after it performs the first upwards slash, then keep away from any stray ice shards that emit from the second slash.

Goss Harag General Attack Patterns

Goss Harag uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.

Charge Attack

Charge Attack Information
Charge Attack: Goss Harag charges towards the target in an attempt to rake it with one of its powerful claws. If you manage to get out of its way and follow it, it will rest for quite a bit, allowing you to land couple of attacks in.

Headbutt

Headbutt Attack Information
Headbutt: Goss Harag charges forward, ramming its head upward towards the hunter. This particular attack can knock hunters down and is usually followed-up by a Double Claw Swipe.

Shoulder Tackle

Shoulder Tackle Attack Information
Headbutt: Goss Harag rams into the hunter with a sideward shoulder tackle, knocking them backward and dealing moderate damage.

Fissure

Fissure Attack Information
Fissure: Goss Harag jumps away from the hunter. This is immediately followed by a powerful two-handed slam that creates a fissure that travels back towards its target. Always keep your eyes on Goss Harag to avoid this deadly attack!

Claw Attacks

Goss Harag's claws deal high damage and can easily knock its target down, leaving them exposed to deadly follow-up attacks. Fortunately, these attacks are relatively slow and easily dodged or blocked.

Claw Attack Variations
Rake: Goss Harag uses its massive claws to rake the ground in front of it, dealing damage and knocking down anyone caught in the attack.
Double Sweep: Goss Harag sweeps the ground around it with its massive claws. Goss Harag performs two sweeps at a staggered pace, with each sweep covering 180 degrees.
Double Claw Swipe: Goss Harag raises both arms before swiping them towards the target. This is a relatively fast attack so always stay on your toes whenever you're directly in front of Goss Harag.
Ground and Pound: Goss Harag pounds the ground with his fist twice in a row, so don't be fooled and overcommit once the first attack finishes. Hunters hit by either attack will be knocked down hard and will need to use a Wirebug to escape or suffer a possible follow up attack. Take note that Goss Harag can leap towards the target for this particular attack depending on the distance between the two of them.

Ice Breath

Ice Breath Attack Information

Ice Breath: When enraged, Goss Harag can unleash two ice beams that inflict heavy damage and Iceblight from its mouth. The first beam is a vertical swipe starting from the bottom towards Goss Harag's target. The second beam is a lateral sweep in front of Goss Harag and has less range than the first. It is surprisingly easy to dodge both beams. The key here is to keep moving until Goss Harag locks the first beam's position and then using a Wirebug to leap over the second beam afterward. Lastly, it is important to note that Goss Harag usually conjures ice weapons immediately after this attack.

Ice Weapons

Goss Harag can conjure ice weapons after performing its Ice Breath attack. These weapons degrade overtime and can take three forms.

It is important to note that every attack with these weapons inflict high damage and Iceblight. However, these weapons can be damaged to speed up the degradation process. Dealing enough damage may even cause them to break entirely!

Weapon combinations marked with ◯ indicate that the attack can be performed with that specific combination. Those marked with X indicate otherwise.

Ice Weapon Attack Variations
Single Slam: Goss Harag slams its weapon towards the target, potentially knocking them down. This particular attack is often linked to Lateral Swipes so always stay on your toes! Take note that Goss Harag can sprint towards the target before landing this attack depending on the distance between them. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Dragging Sweep: Goss Harag thrusts its weapon into the ground before dragging it towards its front, causing rocks to lift up from the ground and knocking hunters backward. This attack reaches a wide angle along its front, so stay away from Goss Harag or stick to its rear to avoid this attack. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Lateral Swipe: Goss Harag slams one of its weapons horizontally towards the target. This relatively quick attack can be repeated twice with both weapons and is often linked to Single Slams. Similar to Single Slam, Goss Harag can close the distance between it and the target by either sprinting or hopping. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Double Slam: Goss Harag slams both of its blades one at a time. Goss Harag takes a while to recover from the second slam, allowing you to dish out heavy attacks of your own. Single Sword: X　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: X
Sword Plunge: Goss Harag plunges its blade towards the target. It takes a while for Goss Harag to lift its plunged blade so take advantage of the downtime by dealing heavy attacks. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Low Sweep: Goss Harag sweeps the ground with its massive blade. Stay on the opposite side of the blade at all times to prevent this attack from connecting. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Windmill: Goss Harag winds up for two seconds. This is followed by a spinning attack with its weapons. You can dodge this attack by either positioning behind it before the spin or just simply distancing yourself from Goss Harag. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Flurry: Goss Harag feigns a Sword Plunge, tricking hunters into commiting with their own attacks before unleashing a flurry of follow-up swipes. Always keep an eye out for Goss Harag's body language after the plunge and make sure the blade is actually plunged into the ground! Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Ice Shards: Goss Harag flings ice shards from its weapons, dealing damage from afar at the cost of its weapons' integrity. This attack is fairly easy to evade as long as you time your dodge just before the shard is ejected from the weapon. Single Sword: ◯　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
Full Release: Goss Harag completely destroys its weapons, flinging an icy salvo of shards towards the target. Be patient and stay on your toes whenever you're targeted by this attack. The final two shards take longer to eject than the previous ones and can easily throw your dodge timing off. Single Sword: X　Double Sword: ◯　Sword and Block: ◯
