Recommended Weapon Element | |
---|---|
Fire Weapon | Paolumu is weakest against fire. |
Recommended Armor Skills | |
Windproof | Having Windproof Lvl 5 against Paolumu is almost necessary since Paolumu's attacks will usually give you wind pressure and incapacitate you. |
Fire Attack | Since you don't really need a lot of armor skills against Paolumu, you can level up your fire weapon's fire damage with Fire Attack. |
Earplugs | Paolumu has a small roar, so Earplugs Lvl 3 should suffice. |
Normal | Inflated |
---|---|
Paolumu is a fairly docile Monster that will not engage unless provoked by a hunter or another monster. When angered, Paolumu will inflate an air sac in its neck and float above the ground.
This will make Paolumu's attacks a lot stronger than usual and it becomes harder to predict. You can instantly shut this down by shooting a Flash Pod directly on to his head to release this state.
Also, when Paolumu is on the ground in his normal state, it is a good time for you to set up and use traps to give you and your team some space to attack with your best combos to deal massive damage.
It is best to make sure that there are no other monsters in the area. If another monster enters battle while you are fighting Paolumu, they will most likely attack the hunters in proximity and will give you and your teammates a harder time.
Though they can assist you in battle by dealing great damage to Paolumu, it is still best if you only have to deal with one large monster during your hunt.
It is also highly recommended that you equip gears with at least level 5 Wind Resistance to negate any wind effects from Paolumu's attacks and pair it with the Rocksteady Mantle to make the hunt easier.
