A mutant Valstrax fearsomely dubbed the "Crimson Glow." This elder dragon typically secludes itself in the upper atmosphere, but it has been driven mad by its own rampant energy, causing it to lash out at anything in its sight. Once it sights its prey, it swoops down, trampling them beneath its shifting wingblades. Several have been sighted all over, so be prepared to encounter one at any time. |

Higher numbers indicate higher potential damage to the monster.
After channeling energy into its wings, it will unleash a powerful attack. It sucks in this energy from its chest, and that's the moment to wait for. Prevent it from powering up and cause the energy to combust, dealing serious damage to the creature.

Crimson Glow Valstrax Tips | ||
---|---|---|
Attack the Chest While It's Charging
Position Around the Forelegs
Take Advantage of Its Weak Tail
Bring Nulberries
|
Crimson Glow Valstrax's chest is vulnerable while it charges dragon energy. Dealing enough damage will cause this residual energy to combust and knock Crimson Glow Valstrax down for a few precious seconds!
Crimson Glow Valstrax's wing attacks can cover a large distance with great speed. Positioning beside its forelegs at all times results in most of its wing attacks going past you, making the fight a lot easier.
Crimson Glow Valstrax's tail has very good raw hit zone values and is surprisingly easy to reach. Prioritize this part to deal high damage with relative safety—the extra carve once severed is a nice bonus as well!
Crimson Glow Valstrax's attacks inflict Dragonblight. This particular blight completely negates your weapon's element or status ailment so always make sure you bring a full stack of Nulberries into the fight.
In addition to its attacks in High Rank quests, Crimson Glow Valstrax uses the following attacks in Master Rank.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Aerial Wing Thrust Combo | Crimson Glow Valstrax takes flight before thrusting each of its wings once towards the player. |
Aerial Thrust and Slam Combo | Crimson Glow Valstrax takes flight before thrusting one of its wings towards the player, then bringing it back for a powerful slam. |
Crimson Beam Redirection [DANGER] |
Crimson Glow Valstrax fires its deadly Crimson Beam. Afterward, it flicks the laser up before slamming the beam down toward the player. |
Aerial Wing Thrust Combo Attack Information |
---|
Aerial Wing Thrust Combo: Crimson Glow Valstrax takes flight before thrusting each of its wings once towards the player, knocking them back and dealing heavy damage. Avoid this attack by evading perpendicular to the path of each wing thrust. |
Aerial Thrust and Slam Combo Attack Information |
---|
Aerial Thrust and Slam Combo: Crimson Glow Valstrax takes flight before swiftly thrusting one of its wings and bringing it back for a powerful slam. This attack can plant residual energy that explodes after a few seconds whenever Crimson Glow Valstrax's wings are charged. To avoid this move, evade to the side to dodge the first wing thrust, then prepare to evade again to dodge the follow-up slam. |
Crimson Beam Redirection Attack Information |
---|
Crimson Beam Redirection: Crimson Glow Valstrax launches a devastating Crimson Beam directly in front of it. Afterward, it flicks the laser upwards before tracking the hunter and bringing it down in their direction. Avoid this attack by moving out of the way of the initial Crimson Beam, then prepare to dive-evade or dodge off to the side when the redirected beam comes down. |

Crimson Beam [DANGER] |

Crimson Glow Valstrax can use its wings in various ways to directly deal damage.
Wing Strike Variations |

Take note that this attack can reach those directly behind Crimson Glow Valstrax. This attack can also plant residual energy whenever the wings are charged. |
Wing Slam: Crimson Glow Valstrax uses one of its wings to slam directly on top of the hunter. If the wing was charged, then releases energy as it raises its wing back up. |

Wing Thrust: Crimson Glow Valstrax boosts one of its wings before thrusting it directly forward, like a Lance. |
Double Wing Thrust: The double version of Crimson Glow Valstrax's Wing Thrust. This attack covers a large distance in front of it so make sure you stay down for a few seconds if you're caught. |
Wing Slap: Crimson Glow Valstrax flexes one of its wings before sweeping its front, launching any hunter it connects to. |
Jet Slicer: Crimson Glow Valstrax performs a single Wing Thrust. It will then spin 360 degrees with the wing still extended. Always be ready to dodge or block this attack! |
With its jet powered wings, Crimson Glow Valstrax can take flight to attack hunters from the air with incredible speed and precision.
Aerial Attack Variations |
---|
Quick Dive: Crimson Glow Valstrax picks a target while hovering in the air. Once a target is picked, it will then dive into the target with great speed. Take note that this attack can generate residual energy around the landing zone if the wings are charged. |

---|
Crimson Salvo: Crimson Glow Valstrax shoots energy balls from its wingtips towards its target. These balls can plant residual energy into the ground they land on, causing follow-up explosions. Ultimately, this attack is fairly easy to dodge as long as you stay on your toes at all times. |
Crimson Beam Attack Information |
---|
Crimson Beam: Crimson Glow Valstrax positions its wings forward to release accumulated energy in a large beam directly in front of it. Crimson Glow Valstrax eventually flicks this beam upward, planting residual energy into the ground it travelled. This attack is fairly easy to dodge and makes Crimson Glow Valstrax vulnerable to your heavy or long attack combinations. Always keep an eye out for this attack! |
Around the World Attack Information |
---|
Around the World: Considered as its ultimate move, Crimson Glow Valstrax takes to the skies, gaining speed and momentum as it locks towards the target. Once the target is locked, Crimson Glow Valstrax will crash towards it, dealing massive damage. Time your Emergency Evade just before it starts to plunge back to the ground to avoid this attack. |
