Countermeasures against Great Girros

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Water Weapon Great Girros is weakest against water.
Recommended Armor Skills
Paralysis Resistance Having Paralysis Resistance at Lvl 3 makes any Great Girros hunt a walk in the park. With this skill maxed out, you can completely concentrate on doing damage.
Water Attack Since you do not need a lot of skills to fight Great Girros, you can invest in a few Water Attack levels to make your water weapon stronger.
Effluvial Expert Since you will be fighting Great Girros in the Rotten Vale, getting Effluvial Expert will be handy so you don't have to worry about the environmental damage.

How to Beat Great Girros

Destroy the Head

GG1.jpg
The bite attack of Great Girros can inflict a paralyze status ailment, but you can greatly reduce the chances of this by destroying the head part. This can also lower the chances of Great Girros calling more allies to help him during the hunt.

Group of Girros

The Great Girros can call a handful of Girros to help him during the hunt. These small monsters should not be taken lightly since they can also inflict a paralyze status ailment if it deals damage. You should kill them immediately as soon as they spawn to make the hunt easier.
