Game8 strategy team

With the innate affinity from Hidden Blade II, Critial Eye and Weakness exploit alone is enough to exceed 100% affinity when striking wounded weakspots. Furthermore, Hiddenblade II is a non elemental weapon which is why an elementless jewel is equipped for more DPS. It also has the staple Great Sword Skills like Focus and Handicraft skills. Guts is there to avoid accidental deaths and can even allow you for some risky plays using tackle moves.

Best Mantles To Use

Rocksteady Mantle	The new moves that was given to the Greatest Jagras can cause tremor, furthermore, its roar can now stop hunters in theirtracks. Always done the Rocksteady Mantle to increase your defense and be immune to these moves.
Temporal Mantle	Free dodges increases survivability. It can also allow you to flinch shot the Jagras anytime you want (as long as it's not enraged)

Best Items to Bring

Shocktrap	While being called an Arch-Tempered, the Greatest Jagras isn't actually an elder dragon which makes it vulnerable to traps. Trap the Greatest Jagras to get some free hits in!
Pitfall Trap	While being called an Arch-Tempered, the Greatest Jagras isn't actually an elder dragon which makes it vulnerable to traps. Trap the Greatest Jagras to get some free hits in!
Max Potion	Instantly replenishes your HP, useful against its strong attacks.
Ancient Potion	Instantly replenishes your HP, useful against its strong attacks.
Dungbomb	Can be used if you wish to pick up the decorations that was spat out by the Jagras. Causes the Jagras to disengage.

Best Palico Loadout and Felyne Skills

Vigorwasp	An extra life will always help. Be sure to swap this out with a different gadget like the Meowlotov or Coral Orchestra once its revive effect has been used.
Shieldspire	Can distract the Greatest Jagras allowing for free hits.
Baan Ball	Sporting a 2 star weakness to sleep makes equipping your Palico a Baan ball almost necessary. A freesleep means a free flinchshot.
Felyne Maestro's Baton α+	Deviljho is susceptible to paralysis (2 stars) so equipping your palico with one can allow your trusty partner to paralyze the jho.
Felyne Insurance/Safeguard	More lives are always welcome.
Felyne Moxie	Unlike Fatalis, AT Velkhana's attacks doesn't have DOTs. This makes Moxie an incredible skill to have as a single max potion can instantly refill your HP to full.
Felyne Tailor	More mantle uptime is always welcome. The bonus isn't too huge but it can still possible help.

How to Beat Arch-Tempered Great Jagras

Stay Away from Its Front

The Greatest Jagras will attack relentlessly so if you're in its line of sight, chances are you'll get hit. Make sure to always position yourself near it's hind legs and keep hitting. Thankfully, the Great jagras doesn't have much resistant parts so you're free to hit it anywhere to deal massive damage.

Block If You Lack Options

When caught in a bad spot, make sure to raise your shield. This might chip a massive amount of your HP but it will at least (hopefully) keep you alive. Its attacks hit hard and thus, making the chip damage massive as well.

Arch-Tempered Great Jagras Attack Patterns New Moves

Tremor Attack

The Greatest Jagras can slam the ground, this will cause a tremor and will render hunters unable to move properly for a good amount of time.

Monster Puke

The Greatest Jagras will uh... puke. But don't let this silly attack fool you, this is one of the Greatest Jagras' most lethal attacks and can one-shot unprepared hunters. This is also the mission's main goal, upon checking the areas where the puke lands, you will find Great Jagras materials. But these are not materials but are in fact, decorations!

The Great Jagras will only do this move after eating an Aptonoth so if you wish to farm decorations, make sure to not disturb the all mighty creature until it devours the idling herbivores in the area.
