How to Beat Jin Dahaad
| Jin Dahaad Monster Fight Tips |
|---|
|
|
Take Cover From Its One Shot AoE Explosion
Midway into the fight, Jin Dahaad will unleash a huge AoE attack that will cart you instantly and cannot be avoided by keeping distance. To survive the attack, knock down a Giant Ice Chunk hanging above the area to create a cover for yourself when the time comes. Get behind the fallen chunk to protect yourself against this attack.
Avoid it By Fast Traveling to Camp
If you're unable to find an ice chunk to hide behind, you can Fast Travel back to camp in a pinch from the menu to avoid the attack. Open the Map and press Right and then the selection button two times to make a speedy escape.
Attack Its Forelegs First
Staying between Jin Dahaad's front and back legs will allow you to avoid a greater portion of its attacks, and since the legs are also weak points, this will provide you with plenty of opportunities to deal damage and score topples. Although going for the head is tempting, it's harder to reach due to its long neck and is dangerous as many of its head attacks inflict Frostblight.
Break the 3 Other Iceplates to Make Its Upper Back Vulnerable
The plates on Jin Dahaad's upper back are initially unbreakable, but will become vulnerable when the other three Iceplates – on its head, lower back, and tail – are broken. Then, when its upper back plates are broken, its Breath Attacks will become weaker, making the remainder of the fight easier.
Breaking the Iceplates will also yield exclusive rewards in addition to weakening it, so focus on attacking the plates whenever Jin Dahaad is downed.
Bring Down the Giant Frozen Pillar When It Climbs Up
In the second area, Jin Dahaad will climb the Giant Frozen Pillar and use its Ice Breath. After the pillar starts to collapse, focus on it and press the interact button to bring it down. Not only will this deal significant damage to it, but it will cause a definite topple for a free damage cycle.
Note that while Jin Dahaad is on the pillar, it will use its Ice Breath 4 times before the pillar can be brought down. After the 3rd time, the pillar will begin to collapse, but don't get hasty as you're liable to get caught in the 4th Ice Breath when trying to knock down the pillar.
Head Becomes A Weak Point After Its Breath Attack
After using its breath attack, Jin Dahaad's head becomes a weak point. Deal a flurry of attacks or use your Focus Strike to make it flinch or knock it down!
Use Environmental Traps for Bonus Damage
Jin Dahaad will move to different parts of the map, so it's a good idea to look out for environmental traps that you can use against it to speed up the hunt.
Brittle Ice Pillar, Iceshard Cliffs
 |
|
| Locale | Area |
|---|---|
| Rimechain Peak | |
There are several Brittle Ice Pillars in Rimechain Peak of Iceshard Cliffs that you can use during your hunt. Position Jin Dahaad carefully underneath the pillars and use your Slinger to pull down the boulder and knock it off its feet!
Crumbling Ice Wall, Iceshard Cliffs
| Locale | Area |
|---|---|
| Rimechain Peak | |
At the edge of the area in Iceshard Cliffs, you can deal enormous damage and knock Jin Dahaad down when you use your Slinger to bring down the Crumbling Ice Wall on it.
Use Cleansers or Bind Resist to Handle Frostblight
Cleansers are essential to bring in this fight to remove any Frostblight you gain. Frostblight is extremely dangerous as it snares you in place, opening you for any damage. Jin Dahaad will often follow this up with its Ice Breath which can cart on a direct hit, so use Cleanser right away to escape to a safe position.
Alternatively, you can stack Bind Resist into your build to shorten the duration of Frostblight, or prevent it completely at level 3.
Boost Your Survivability in the Prep Phase
Aside from the fight itself, there's a variety of tools you can use to improve your survivability against Jin Dahaad. Preparation is half the battle!
- Switch to a High Rank Build and upgrade your armor
- Use Ice Res Jewel [1] and Ice Charm to stack Ice Resistance
- Add skills like Divine Blessing and Fortify to your build
- Bring Armorskin or Mega Armorskin
- Use Sild Garlic in your food to survive one KO attack with Moxie Meal
You Can't Capture Jin Dahaad
Focus all your offensive effort in to slaying Jin Dahaad as it cannot be captured. Pitfall Trapswill not work on the monster, but Shock Traps remains viable.

Jin Dahaad Attack Patterns
All Moveset and Openings

|---|---|
| Icy Stomp | Jin Dahaad raises either of its legs and stomps it on the ground. You can avoid damage by running or dodging away as soon as you see it raise its leg. |
| Bite Attacks | Jin Dahaad performs a barrage of bites towards your direction. Use this opening to dodge towards it diagonally and attack its forelegs. |
| Cold Vortex | Jin Dahaad unleashes an area-wide attack that freezes you in place, making you open for an attack. Repeatedly press the recover button to break out of the ice and avoid incoming damage. |
| Tail Smash | Jin Dahaad raises its tail and smashes it unto you. You can avoid the attack by dodging diagonally toward Jin Dahaad's hind legs and start attacking it there. |
| Ice Breath Attacks | Jin Dahaad can release a breath attack vertically or horizontally. If it's vertical, you'll see it tilt its head back before unleashing the breath attack downwards going up. Dodge sideways once you see it tilt its head. If it's horizontal, you'll see it lower and shake its head before unleashing the breath attack sideways. Depending on how far you are from the monster, either dodge towards its body or run outwards from it to avoid the attack. |
| Charged Breath Attack | Jin Dahaad can charge its breath attacks and launch it below its head or forward. These breath attacks are always given by a high-pitched scream, run towards Jin Dahaad to avoid taking damage. |

| Belly Flop | Jin Dahaad stands on its hind legs then slams its body forward. You can avoid the incoming damage by running away from Jin Dahaad. |
| Ice Push | Jin Dahaad uses its forelegs to push ice towards your direction. If you're far you can avoid this attack by running to the side, but if you're close, it's best to stick to Jin Dahaad's chest to avoid and deal damage at the same time. |
| Cold Exhaust | Jin Dahaad looks down on its chest and creates a hissing sound before unleashing cold air around its body. Run away from Jin Dahaad as soon as you hear the hissing sound to avoid Frostblight. |
