Countermeasures against Uragaan

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Water Weapon	Uragaan is weakest against water.
Recommended Armor Skills
Tremor Resistance	Uragaan can cause tremor quite often with his chin slam. If you find yourself getting caught by this, try getting Tremor Resistance Lvl 3.
Sleep Resistance	If you find Uragaan's sleep gas annoying, you can just get your Sleep Resistance skill to Lvl 3.
Fire Resistance	Same goes for his flame gas when he's enraged. Keep in mind that fire resistance only mitigates some fire damage, but does not negate Fireblight.
Partbreaker	Since breaking Uragaan's chin will make it much weaker, you might want to invest in the Partbreaker skill.
Clutch Claw Boost	You can also just keep the chin tender before you lay damage into it.

How to Beat Uragaan

Chin Slam and Ground Tremors

Uragaan has a slow attack where he raises his head and then slams it into the ground. This attack is very powerful and it can cause ground tremors which will stop you from moving. Be sure to keep your distance as soon as he raises his head to avoid this attack or getting caught by the ground tremors.

Aim for the Head

One of the toughest parts of Uragaan is his chin. However, if you manage to break this part, he will be significantly weaker than usual. It is best that you focus on this part and use Large Barrel Bombs for some damage.

Play as safely as possible when you are focusing the head since most of Uragaan's most powerful attack is his chin slam, he will often use this if you focus on this part of his head.

Different Types of Gas

Normal	Enraged

Uragaan can release two different types of gas when he crouches. One is a sleeping gas that he occasionally uses during his normal state and the other is a flame gas that is only used when he is enraged. Try to keep your distance when he is enraged since the flame gas can deal massive damage if you get caught within its range.

Explosive Rocks

Beware of the explosive red glowing rocks that Uragaan scatters during the hunt. These rocks will explode after a few seconds or if they are hit by the tremors caused by Uragaan. Be wary of your positioning and keep on checking the ground for any rocks that can explode near you.

Tired Uragaan

Uragaan will always fall after he performs a rolling attack. When he is tired, these rolling attacks will slow down and becomes easier to avoid. Use this an opportunity to attack with your party and deal as much damage as you can.
