Countermeasures against Radobaan

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Dragon Weapon Radobaan is weakest against dragon.
Blast Weapon Radobaan is also weak against blast, so if you have a stronger weapon that can inflict Blastblight, it is okay to use that as well.
Recommended Armor Skills
Mind's Eye/Ballistics Rabobaan's bone armor will sometimes make your weapons bounce off; get Mind's Eye/Ballistics to solve this problem.
Tremor Resistance Radobaan can incapacitate you through tremors with his huge jaw attack! Repel the tremors altogether with Tremor Resistance Lvl 3.
Sleep Resistance Radobaan can make you sleep! Prevent sleeping by getting Sleep Resistance to Lvl 3.
Earplugs Radobaan has a small roar, so Earplugs Lvl 3 should suffice.
Clutch Claw Boost It might be useful to tenderize the tougher parts of Radobaan to get rid of his bone armor faster.

How to Beat Radobaan

Destroy the Bones

Normal Destroyed

Radobaan is a unique monster that covers himself with a bone armor to make his body harder. You can destroy these bones by constantly attacking them with your main weapon. Once the bones are broken, that specific body part will be more vulnerable to your attacks.

Tripping Radobaan
