Characteristics
These juvenile Gravios are famous for their rock-hard carapaces. They often burrow underground, mimicking rocks and savaging oblivious miners. Because their carapaces are tougher than that of a full-grown Gravios, they'll attack a threat by charging at it. They are also known to emit a poisonous gas.

Hunting Tips

・Its thick, hardened shell is impervious to most attacks, making it tricky to approach, but if you can break its abdominal plating, you should be able to rip off its shell and deal some heavy hits. Attacks that produce heat will soften up the hide and make the job easier.

Basarios Attack Patterns

Burrow Attack

Like Diablos, Basarios can bury itself underground and come up underneath the hunter. Unlike Diablos, however, Basarios damages you through the trail it creates as well!

Breath Attacks

Basarios can unleash flames from its breath whenever its head is molten. This particular attack has two variations:

Gas Cloud

Basarios ejects a dangerous gas from its underbelly, damaging anyone caught in the attack and applying specific status effects depending on the gas itself.

Click the button below to see all of the gas types:

Slow Roll

Basarios postures up before crashing down to the ground in a slow barrel roll. This attack is very easy to avoid due to its slow animation.

Rush Attack

Basarios flexes its wings before running towards its target. Once again, this attack is easy to avoid due to its very slow animation and large telegraph.

Tail Attacks

Basarios can use its tail to slap hunters who stay behind it for too long. This attack has two possible patterns:

Hip Check

Basarios flings its massive body sideways, dealing damage launching anyone who lingers on its sides for too long. This attack is surprisingly quick, so be prepared to dodge or block at all times.

How to Beat Basarios

Green Sharpness is Mandatory

Unless you're using a Gunlance, we recommend that you use weapons that have Green Sharpness or higher against Basarios — Anything lesser will be ineffective.

Avoid Hitting the Wings

Basarios' wings are incredibly hard and can deflect the attacks of most weapon types regardless of sharpness.

It is recommended that you focus attacks towards the legs, abdomen, lower tail, and head (when it's molten) instead.

Keep an Eye Out for Molten Parts

Basario heats up specific body parts to perform various attacks. You can use this to identify which attack Basarios can use through the fight:

Molten Part	Possible Attacks
Head & Lower Neck	Breath Attacks
Abdomen	Fire Gas

Another thing to note is that molten parts are softened, meaning you can dish out maximum damage towards these parts without the fear of bouncing!

Take Advantage of Its Slow Speed

Similar to most heavily armored monsters, Basarios suffers from having slow attack animations. Take advantage of this by landing heavy attacks of your own as they play out!

Bring Antidotes and Energy Drinks

Item	Effects / How to Get
Antidote	A cure for poison/venom. Crafted or bought from the Merchant. Antidote Herb
Energy Drink	Boosts stamina and prevents sleep. Crafted using Materials. Nitroshroom + Honey

As previously mentioned, Basarios' Gas Clouds can either inflict Poison or Sleep status ailments. Always bring Antidotes or Herbal Medicines to nullify Poison — Energy Drinks, on the other hand, can negate the Sleep ailment!

Alternatively, you can also check your base camp's Supply Box once you start the hunt for any free Antidotes or Energy Drinks.

Barrel Bombs Interrupt Its Burrow Attack!

Basarios' burrow attack can be lured into Large Barrel Bombs. Not only will this damage the Basarios, it will also unburrow it and stun it for a few seconds!

Basarios Materials and Drops

Mine Basarios' Back for Ores!

You can mine the back of Basarios to obtain various low and high rank Ores. This is only possible once it's in a capturable state — Let basarios flee and submerge into the ground to rest.
