Countermeasures against Anjanath

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Water Weapon Anjanath is weakest against water.
Recommended Armor Skills
Fire Resistance Fire Resistance can be useful for Anjanath's Flame Breath attack.
Water Attack Since not a lot of skills are needed for fighting Anjanath, it might be useful to tack on some additional Water Attack to your water weapon.
Earplugs Since Anjanath has a small roar, getting Earplugs to Lvl 3 should be enough.

How to Beat Anjanath

Anjanath's Bite Attack

How to Beat - Anjanath 1.png
Anjanath can use his powerful jaws to scoop the ground while rushing towards hunters. This attack can deal massive damage if you get caught, be sure to keep your distance and only engage when the attack is over.

Correct Positioning

Most of Anjanath's powerful attacks will always strike forward and directly in front of him. It is recommended that you stay on his sides and focus on attacking the legs instead of fighting him head-on. Also, staying on his sides will force him to perform weak bite attacks that should not be a problem if you have enough defense.

Fire Breath

Normal Wing Spread

Anjanath can spread his wings to start accumulating the heat from his surroundings. During this time, you should focus on attacking the head since dealing a certain amount of damage to the head at this state can knock him down for a long time, allowing you to execute your most powerful attacks.

Use of Puddle Pod

If Anjanath manages to accumulate enough heat from his surroundings, he can execute a high-powered attack that can instantly cart you in one shot. It is recommended that you always release the heat that he accumulates by shooting a Puddle Pod straight directly to his mouth to prevent him from using this attack.
