Elemental weaknesses: Ice (primary), Water (secondary).It's weak to almost all elements, especially water, so bring your element-laced weaponry if you've got it to add some extra damage and show Kulu-Ya-Ku, who's higher in the pecking order. Beyond its crude tools, Kulu-Ya-Ku's attacks are pretty simple, using mostly pecks and charges to hurt you. The objects tend to wear down after a while attacking a held object that's already showing signs of wear will cause it to break after a few strikes, stunning the big bird in the process. If you can stagger or stun Kulu-Ya-Ku, it will drop whatever it's holding. Also, Kulu-Ya-Ku will eagerly try to smash your head in with jump attacks while holding these implements. Try not to hit the hard objects Kulu-Ya-Ku is holding, as doing so only results in your attacks getting deflected. In fact, it's smart enough to dig in the ground for objects it can use for both defense and offense. Kulu-Ya-Ku is smarter than the average birdbrain, despite its goofy appearance. Status vulnerabilities: Stun, Blast, Waterblight.Elemental weaknesses: Water (primary), all others (secondary).Most vulnerable spots: Head, foreleg, tail.Use the same combat strategies as Great Izuchi to dodge its physical attacks, and it shouldn't be long before you've felled another "Great" one. Chugging an Energy Drink item will help you recover from that sluggish state. Great Baggi can also spit out projectile venom that will cause you to get drowsy, making your movements slow and rendering you incapable of doing much of anything. Take out the small fry first (or let your buddies handle them) before focusing your attention on the boss. Much like Great Izuchi, Great Baggi is a pack hunter and will bring along a posse to its battles. Status vulnerabilities: Paralysis, Blast, Exhaust, Fireblightĭid you manage to take down Great Izuchi? Swell! The other "Great" raptor-like large monsters fight in a similar fashion, so many of the skills you've picked up from Izuchi will come in handy.Elemental weaknesses: Fire (primary), Water/Lightning (secondary).

If you're a rookie at Monster Hunter, hunting Great Izuchi's a great way to learn many of the basic skills you'll need to take on the game's larger beasts, so use this opportunity to get some practice in. Fortunately, many of its most damaging attacks use its tail and have a lengthy wind-up, making them easy to dodge or block. Izuchi's weak point is its head, but facing it head-on can be dangerous, especially when it's enraged If it does get enraged, it uses a damaging ranged spit attack, and its swift triple-tail swipe, which can easily knock you flat on your back. It can also summon more buddies to join its side, though they go down pretty fast-so taking out Great Izuchi's minions first is generally a good idea. It's one of the easier fights, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful! Great Izuchi is a pack hunter and tends to fight with a posse of two smaller Izuchi to annoy you. Great Izuchi is likely to be the first big monster you take on in your hunting endeavors.
