For survivability, it's recommended to bring healing items like Herbal Medicines and Antidotes, to deal with the Gypceros's barrage of Poison attacks. You'll also want Armorskin and Demondrug slotted in your item pouch to increase your damage and defense, speeding up your hunt time.

If you're willing to tank hits for executing powerful combos, bring a Rocksteady Mantle to ignore flinching and decrease damage taken.

How to Beat Gypceros

Chatacabra Monster Fight Tips



Break Its Head to Prevent Flash Attacks

The Gypceros's crest, located on its head, is the source of its blinding attacks. Break its head to render its flash attacks useless.

You can also block the flash if you're using a weapon that can block, such as the Great Sword or Sword and Shield.

Focus Strike its Head When it Tries to Flash

Gypceros's head becomes a weak point whenever he tries to do a Flash Attack. Use Focus Strike to cancel the Flash Attack and topple Gypceros for a DPS opening.

Be Wary When It Fakes Its Death

Gypceros can fake its death during battle, complete with music stopping! You can attack it when it's faking its death, but be wary as it will perform a flailing attack after a while if you stay close.

You can get a few hits in when it's faking its death, but don't be too greedy or else you'll get hit by its attack!

Carve Twice While it Fakes its Death

You can carve Gypceros up to two times only before he unleashes his powerful attack. Although this strategy is not advisable given its danger, people who are looking to gain rewards may find it useful.

You can continue carving once the quest complete notification appears on your screen.

Bring Antidotes to Counter Poison

As the Gypceros has poison attacks, bringing Antidotes before the battle is a must to quickly remove the poison.

Best Items to Bring on Hunts

Use Pitfall Traps for Capturing or Damage Windows

Since the Gypceros is immune to Shock Traps, bring Pitfall Traps instead. Make sure to bring materials to craft it as well.

Gypceros Attack Patterns

Moveset and Openings

Attack Description
Poison Spit

Note: The Tempered version of the monster is shown in the clip.


Gypceros will spit a ball of poison that can apply poison if you are hit. Blocking it with your weapon prevents the poison effect. Either block the attack or dodge to the side.
Poison Splashes

Note: The Tempered version of the monster is shown in the clip.


Gypceros will charge forward while spitting poison all over the place. Avoid this by blocking either the charge or the poison spit. Otherwise, dodge to the side opposite the poison spit and avoid the charge.
Flash Bomb
The Gypceros will prime its crest before emitting a flash that will Stun any hunter that wasn't blocking or looking away. This can also be avoided by panic jumping.
Tail Whip
Using its flexible tail, the Gypceros will whip at the hunters. Caution is needed as thanks to its flexible nature, the tail can extend and hit hunters who are far away. This attack can be blocked, as well as avoided by dodging to the side.
Feign Death

Note: The Tempered version of the monster is shown in the clip.


The Gypceros will pretend to die, luring hunters to come closer to it. After some time, the Gypceros will spring back to life, dealing huge damage to anyone close to it. Stay away from its body when it fakes its death and wait for the Quest Complete notification before trying to carve the Gypceros.
