How to Beat Magma Almudron

Take Note of Exploding Lava Rocks

Burrowing Underground Softens Its Legs

Cure Fireblight by Rolling

Tail Attacks Can Spawn Lava Streams

Flash Bombs Won't Drop the Ball

Know the Difference Between The Two Tail Explosion Variations

Take Note of Exploding Lava Rocks

Magma Almudron will occasionally spawn rocks in the arena, which would explode over time. Be wary of this as they tend to inflict a great deal of damage to unsuspecting Hunters in its area of effect.

Burrowing Underground Softens Its Legs

When Magma Almudron burrows itself underground to perform a move, it re-emerges with red limbs. The lava underground softens these parts, making it a huge weak point you can exploit until it hardens again.

Cure Fireblight by Rolling

Magma Almudron inflicts Fireblight, especially on attacks that involve magma. Fireblight deals damage over time so it can be detrimental if left unchecked. Roll three times or once over water to cure this blight.

You may also use Nulberries but rolling is free and sometimes quicker.

Tail Attacks Can Spawn Lava Streams

Most of Magma Almudron's tail attacks spawn lava pools that travel in a line. Don't run straight to its tail but instead evade sideways to avoid the pools.

Flash Bombs Won't Drop the Ball

Unlike its mud cousin Almudron, using Flash Bombs would not cause Magma Almudron to drop the mud ball. It can only be destroyed by dealing enough damage.

Know the Difference Between The Two Tail Explosion Variations

Tail Explosion Variations
Magma Tail Explosion: One explosion
Magma Ball Explosion: Two explosions

During the fight, Magma Almudron will execute a Tail Explosion move that looks a lot like Teostra's Supernova. The number of explosions depends if Magma Almudron is carrying a magma ball or not.

If it's not carrying a ball, the tail will only explode once. If it's carrying a magma ball, it would explode twice - one for the tail, and one for the ball. Learn this well to know when to go aggressive after the move.

Magma Almudron Attacks and Moves

Magma Tail Slam

Magma Tail Slam Attack Information
Magma Tail Slam: Magma Almudron slams its tail on the ground, releasing lava that flows straight in a wide area. It's really important to note that this tail attack is followed by a mud attack so you can properly position yourself to the side. Magma Almudron will usually burrow itself first before executing this move, giving you a clue of what it is about to do.

Tail Punch

Tail Punch Attack Information
Tail Punch: A quick tail attack strengthened by the presence of the Magma Ball. This can send Hunters flying and leave them stunned. This move is pretty hard to telegraph but easy to evade. Just don't over-commit on moves and you're good to go.

Magma Tail Explosions

Almudron will occasionally slam its tail on the ground, creating a huge explosion that deals a lot of damage. The number of explosions depends on if Magma Almudron is carrying a ball or not.

Magma Tail Explosion Attack Variations
Magma Tail Explosion: Rising from beneath the ground, Magma Almudron places its tail on the ground and then creates a large explosion around it. If Magma Almudron is not carrying a ball, it causes one explosion. Execute an emergency evade whenever you see Magma Almudron slam its straight straight into the ground. You can also counterattack immediately because this move will only cause one explosion.
Magma Ball Explosion: A variation of the magma tail explosion above but while carrying a ball. In addition to the tail explosion, the ball also explodes causing two explosions in total. Always take note of the second explosion as that is usually bigger and has a wider AoE. Execute an emergency evade or counterattack on the second explosion to successfully survive this attack.

Magma Ball Slam

Magma Ball Slam Attack Information
Magma Ball Slam: The monster slams the magma ball its holding to the ground, causing an explosion and knocking back hunters caught in it. Immediately execute an emergency evade when you see this move as this can deal huge damage.

Molten Rock Eruption

Molten Rock Eruption Attack Information
Molten Rock Eruption: Magma Almudron emerges from underground and causes molten rock formations to erupt from the ground. Their locations can be spotted from the raised ground, so evade it when you can! Take note that these rocks explode over time so stay away from the rocks!

Leviathan Magma Dive

Leviathan Magma Dive Attack Information

Leviathan Magma Dive: Magma Almudron uses its long and slender body to burrow itself on the ground then swim upwards multiple times. Everytime it emerges from the ground, it leaves a magma boulder that explodes after some time. Simply avoid the parts where magma boulders spawn as they will explode over time. Also keep your eye on Magma Almudron as it sometimes use the boulder as a distraction for it to freely dunk a powerful attack.
