How to Beat Great Jagras

Safe Place to Attack

When fighting the Great Jagras, it is good to launch your attacks from the sides since most of Great Jargas' attacks will often hit on the front. However, you will still have to be careful of his slow side rolls which can be easily avoided by slightly moving away.

Riding Great Jagras

In the Ancient Forest, there are multiple cliffs and slopes that you can abuse to help you ride the Great Jagras. Try to ride him often to dish out as much damage as you can without endangering yourself from his attacks.

Eating Aptonoth

Normal	Full Stomach

The Greatest Jargas has the ability to eat a specific monster in the Ancient Forest called the Aptonoths. This can change his appearance and give him a strong new discharge attack which can be deadly if you have a low health. You can prevent him from using this attack by hitting his stomach enough times, forcing him to hurl out the carcass.
