How to Beat Gravios

Exploit its Belly's Weakness with Water

Gravios's greatest weakness is Water and it takes the most damage from it through its belly. This makes high elemental output weapons (such as Dual Blades) or high elemental output attacks (such as Charge Blade's SAED) very useful against him.

When maximizing damage for elements, make sure to have the Element Attack skill Water Attack first followed by the Critical Element skill for high affinity, high elemental potential weapons.

Attacking from the Side is Safest

Gravios utilizes its head and tail a lot for attacking, so attacking its sides will keep you the safest from damage. Just be careful when it does its Body Check, Body Smash, Gas Release, and Flame Release moves.

Gravios's head is also likely to deflect your attacks when struck, so take note of this when it is facing you!

Bring Energy Drinks, Antidotes, and Nulberries

Gravios is able to inflict Sleep, Poison, and Fireblight. If you don't have skills equipped to prevent these status ailments, make sure you're stocked up on Energy Drinks, Antidotes, and Nulberries before the fight!

Best Items to Bring on Hunts

Use Weapons with Blue Sharpness or Better

Make sure to bring a weapon that at least has Blue Sharpness or better to avoid your weapon bouncing off Gravios and focus on hitting its more vulnerable parts.

While Gravios' back and neck are valid targets, focus more on attacking its belly as its easier to reach, though make sure you're ready to evade just in case it does a roll or body check.

Weapon Sharpness Explained

Bring Sharpness Skills or Whetfish Fin+

Even with high sharpness weapons, your weapon will eventually get worn down fast due to Gravios' thick armor.

For this fight, we recommend you bring sharpness skills such as Master's Touch, Razor Sharp, Handicraft, or Protective Polish to keep your weapon's sharpness up. You can also make use of Mind's Eye if you want to make a dent through Gravios's armor.

Alternatively, you can also bring extra Whetfish Fin+ since they allow you to sharpen weapons faster than the regular Whetstone.

List of Weapon Skills

Use Weapon Mechanics to Bypass Gravios's Armor

Gravios may be able to deflect physical attacks from most parts of its body, but it will be guaranteed to take damage from attacks that ignore hitzones such as shelling (or Wyvern's Fire) from the Gunlance and phial explosions from the Charge Blade.

Still, you'll want your highest DPS combos on Gravios's exposed weakspots, so don't depend all the time on bashing against his armor again and again for the rest of the fight.

Gravios Attack Patterns

Moveset and Openings

Move Explanation
Fire Beam
Gravios will unleash a beam of fire, either directly in front, side to side, or directly down. You can tell it's coming when it looks like it's taking a deep breath. Dodge the frontal beam by moving to the sides, go beside it for the side to side beam, and dodge the downward beam by moving away from Gravios.
You may also guard the beam with a shield. Make sure to not let go or attack in the middle of the beam when you do so!
Gas Release
Gravios will release either a purple or blue gas from its belly (signifying its status ailment), affecting those in close proximity. Getting hit by the blue gas will put you to sleep, while getting hit by the purple gas will likely poison you. Avoid this by moving away from Gravios once you see gas leaking from his belly.
Flame Release
Similar to the gas release, Gravios will unleash flames from its belly, burning those in close proximity. Avoid this the same way you would the Gas Release, by running or dodging away from the monster as soon as you see it expelling gas.
Body Check
After a short windup, Gravios will use its body to quickly attack either its left or right side. Either block the attack with a shield, or dodge towards the monster to roll under the body check.
Charge
Gravios will charge forward after a brief windup. Either block the charge with a shield, or dodge to the side to avoid the charge.
Roll
The Gravios will roll either to the left or to the right, crushing anything that gets caught in the roll. Get out of the Gravios' path to avoid damage.
Body Smash
Gravios will flap its wings before flying upwards. It will proceed to drop down to smash its body to the ground afterwards. Dodge or run away as soon as you see it flying up.
Fire Balls
The Gravios will slowly move, shooting fireballs at targets in front of it every few steps. Get out of the Gravios' path and dodge sideways from the fireballs to avoid damage.
