How to Beat Gore Magala

Gore Magala Monster Fight Tips





Use Focus Strike on Gore Magala's Weak Point

Gore Magala's weak spot becomes available after it does its Charged Frenzy Blast attack. Use Focus Strike on Gore Magala's head after this attack to topple Gore Magala and remove its Frenzied State.

Keep Attacking Once You're Frenzied

Gore Magala will periodically attack using dark-colored clouds that inflict Frenzy. A purple gauge will appear above your health bar indicating that you're inflicted with Frenzy.

Keep attacking before the Frenzy gauge fills up to avoid getting the negative effects of Frenzy. You can also use Nullberries as an alternative to reduce the Frenzy gauge.

Use Traps When Gore Magala is in Frenzied State

Use Traps when Gore Magala is in its Frenzied State as it grants you a damage window to break Gore Magala's horns. Although this is not always required, targeting Gore Magala's head is quite hard as it is more agile and aggressive in its Frenzied State.

Break its Horns While it's Frenzied

Gore Magala's horns are normally hidden, and only appear when it enters the Frenzied state. You can identify it's Frenzied when the horns glow purple and it becomes more aggressive.

You can use Shock Traps or Pitfall Traps for your damage window to gain an opening for its horns.

Move Away from Fenzy Air

Actually this is also inaccurate. He has been updated and if you check his new hunter log is now classified as a Demi-Elderdragon
