How to Beat Lavasioth

Magma Breath

Lavasioth's magma breath is a powerful wide-range attack that can be difficult if you are playing aggressively. Try to stay defensive and sheath your weapon when Lavasioth is moving around.

Hardened State

Normal State	Hardened State

Lavasioth's toughness changes depending on the state of the lava around its body. After Lavasioth jumps out of the lava, it will slowly harden after a short period. Try to attack Lavasioth during this time to maximize your damage output.

Softening Lavasioth

You can soften Lavasioth's skin after it hardens by attacking him with any fire attribute attacks or using a Torch Pod.

Water Affinity

Try to abuse Lavasioth's weakness by using weapons with strong water affinity. This can enhance the damage that you can deal with Lavasioth to make the hunt much easier. Also, it is best that you focus on one part of Lavasioth since breaking a part off will further enhance the damage that you can deal with every attack.

Heavy Weapons

If Lavasioth stays on land for too long, his skin will eventually get harder and your attacks will start to bounce off. If you are having a hard time because of this, you can try using a Gunlance, Charge Axe, or Heavy Bowgun to counter his tough skin.

Watch Your Step

Lavasioth will splash lava around the area once he jumps off the magma pool. This can take a huge chunk of your health if not taken seriously. Try to move away and avoid these splashes of lava to avoid taking constant chip damage.
