Ice Weapon | Raging Brachydios is weakest against ice. |
Recommended Armor Skills | |
Evade Extender | Raging Brachydios's attacks have a wide range and a long activation time. Repositioning and getting yourself out of harm's way completely will be useful against Raging Brachydios. |
Guard | Instead of Evade Extender, Guard will be more useful to have as a shield user. |
Stun Resistance | Raging Brachydios can hit you a lot, especially when you are not used to him. Get Stun Resistance to Lvl 3, just in case. |
Partbreaker | Raging Brachydios takes a long time to recover whenever you break a body part. He also builds explosive slime on his body parts when enraged—except for when the body part is broken. |
Blast Resistance | Blastscourge can be a little harder to remove than the normal Blastblight, so having Blast Resistance to prevent it altogether can be useful. It should be noted that you may still have to deal with Fireblight. |
Health Boost | Having more health is always a good thing! |
Earplugs | Raging Brachydios has a big roar, so it will be helpful to have Earplugs at Lvl 5. Plus, in the final phase, he can activate all the explosive slime on the ground with his roar, making you highly susceptible to getting damaged since you cannot move. |
Guts | Guts can save you from the explosion attack in the final area. Take note that this can also be replaced by Felyne Moxie, so no need to bring this skill if you have that food skill activated. |
Clutch Claw Boost | If you have a light weapon that cannot tenderize in one go, it will be helpful to have this, especially if you want to go for breaking Raging Brachydios's body parts. |
Raging Brachydios will now slam his tail on to the ground dealing massive damage. This new move has been added for the Raging Brachydios to prevent hunters who are poking him from behind making the fight more difficult.
As the fight goes on, slimes will start to appear around Raging Brachydios making him more dangerous. These slimes will start to appear when Raging Brachydios is agitated. Try to break the head, arms, or tail before reaching this state and remove the slimes to prevent the explosions.
During some of the attacks of the Raging Brachydios, slime will drip off of his arms, head, and tail which will explode after a few seconds. This makes the fight more difficult especially if you are using a melee weapon. They can also deal massive damage so try to avoid them as much as possible.
You can try to use Watermoss to remove these slimes from the Raging Brachydios. If you do not have any Watermoss available, you can try attacking the body part directly using your main weapon.
Raging Brachydios takes a long time to recover when you break a body part. Try to equip the skill Partbreaker when before fighting him head-on.
When you reach the final phase of your hunt, Raging Brachydios will start to attack the rocks near the entrance of Area 15 to trap you inside if you ever come in.
Upon reaching this point, your recovery items and your ammo will be low on supply. Be sure to return to camp first and replenish your items and gears before heading on to Area 15.
During the final phase, the slimes will explode only when the Raging Brachydios uses his roar. These explosions will be impossible for you to dodge unless if you are wearing Earplugs to negate the roar's disable. The damage from the explosion can take about 80% of your max health, be sure to maintain high health during the whole fight.
As mentioned above, once you reach the final phase of the fight, you won't be able to escape the area until you defeat the Raging Brachydios. It is suggested that your party will bring multiple Dust of Life to support each other during the fight.
During the last phase of the fight, the slimes on the ground can deal damage over time if stepped on. Heat Guard will not be able to prevent you from taking damage on this. However, you are desperate, you can try using the Fireproof Mantle to reduce the damage you take from the heat. Minding your positioning can also help you during this fight, try not to step on any of the slime to prevent damage.
Since you won't be able to leave the area, you and your party can use a Health Booster for additional sustain during the fight.
