You'll barely have time to breathe during the dreadclaw's relentless onslought, and once it lands an attack, you'll have your back to the wall. However, it usually charges with all its might from dead ahead, so if you watch closely, you'll have a good chance of dodging. It's especially prone to losing its balance after a volley of kicks, so take the opportunity to strike and deal damage while you can. |

Dreadclaw Tips and Strategies |
---|
|
The softest body part of a Dreadclaw is its head and throat. Constantly targeting these parts deal a good amount of damage on the Dreadclaw and it severs some of its parts as well.
A Dreadclaw is extremely weak against fire attacks and ailments, as well as slash attacks. Equipping these weapon types makes part breaking easy and ultimately makes the hunt easier.
Three must-have Karakuri in this hunt are the Bulwark, Torch, and Firework Karakuri.
Most of Dreadclaw's attacks move forward and are consecutive, dodging backwards will only put you in a position for a follow up attack. For this hunt, dodging towards Dreadclaw is highly recommended.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Slam Attacks | Quick, consecutive attacks used by Dreadclaw to stagger careless hunters. |
Neck Swipe | A wide attack of Dreadclaw to steer clear of a hunter's attack range. |
Scream Shockwave | A quick ranged attack that travels fast. Fatal against slow hunters. |
Charging Attacks | A set of Dreadclaw's moves that take some time to wind up, but extremely fatal when directly hit. |
Enraged State Attacks | Dreadclaw's unique set of moves that make the hunt more dangerous as it nears its end. |
