Hunting Tips

・The black scale dust a Teostra scatters will spread over a wide area until it finally explodes; however reports claim that damaging the elder dragon's head can prevent the larger explosions. Push on the attack when it's fully enveloped in flames or scale dust to stun it, suppressing whichever it was accumulating.

Anything caught in the radius has a chance to be one-hit KO'd. Teostra does this while in the Super Flame Armor state and will remove all kinds of flame armor afterwards.

Claw Blast

Teostra scatters blast orbs by swinging his claw then igniting them after a short while. Evade backward or in any direction away from the blast orbs!

Leaping Attack

A quick leaping attack towards a hunter. If Teostra has a flame armor on, this move deals fireblight as Teostra lands.

Circular Ground Explosion

A mini-Supernova that Teostra ignites in front of him. Anything caught in the radius will get fireblight and receive significant damage. Emergency Evade or counterattack at the moment of the explosion!

The Supernova

A very dangerous and powerful move where Teostra releases all his energy in a huge, wide explosion. Anyone in the radius can be carted. Roll as far as possible from Teostra or execute an Emergency Evade when you see Teostra charging this up!

How to Beat Teostra

Get as far away as possible during a Supernova Supernova weakens by breaking Teostra's horn Avoid the blast orbs Know the different armor states of Teostra Ranged attacks don't work when in Super Flame Armor state Beware of the passive heat damage when you're near Teostra Remove flame armor from Teostra by knocking it down Use armor pieces with Kushala Blessing Increase your fire resistance

Get as Far Away as Possible from Teostra During The Supernova

Teostra's Supernova can cart any hunter caught in the radius so we suggest rolling or Wiredashing until you are away from Teostra. You may also opt to execute an emergency evade if you think that it is too late to getaway!

Supernova Weakens By Breaking Teostra's Horn

Supernova with the Horns Broken	Supernova with the Horns Not Broken
Enlarge	Enlarge

The radius of the Supernova decreases when you break Teostra's horn. This gives you an easier time trying to get away from Teostra once it explodes in a Supernova!

Avoid the Blast Orbs

Enlarge

The blast orbs scattered by Teostra are where all explosions happen. Avoid these areas because Teostra can ignite them anytime!

Know the Different Armor States of Teostra

Teostra has different armor states in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) and can give Teostra different characteristics. He can enter both armor stages at any point in the hunt - Teostra can even enter the Super Flame Armor State from the start!

Ranged Attacks Don't Work When in Super Flame Armor State

When in Super Flame Armor State, ranged attacks from Bows, Heavy Bowguns, and Light Bowguns has no effect on Teostra's body. If you're a ranged hunter, aim for the head while in this state!

Beware of the Passive Heat Damage When You're Near Teostra

Enlarge

When Teostra is in the Super Flame Armor State, any hunter near it will experience passive heat damage denoted by a decreasing green health bar and increasing red. Keep an eye out on your health bar when you fight near Teostra all the time or invest on the armor skill Recovery Speed!

Remove Flame Armor From Teostra by Knocking It Down

By knocking down Teostra, you can remove any armor that is applied to its body. There is a higher chance to execute this by focusing on Teostra's head at all times.

Use Armor Pieces with Kushala Blessing

Enlarge

Each of the new Elder Dragon armors is designed to combat other Elder Dragons.

Kushala Blessing is a new armor skill obtained by equipping Kushala Armor from Kushala Daora that can increase the power of ice and water attacks as well as nullify heat damage. This is a very hard counter against Teostra so consider using this if you're having a hard time!

Kushala Armor Set Skills and Forging Materials

Increase Your Fire Resistance

Teostra can deal fireblight so we recommend armors that has Fire Resistance or use Fire Res Jewels decorations. This helps in defending yourself from the pesky fireblight that Teostra gives all the time.
