Great Wroggi Attack Patterns

Due to its large stature in MHR, Great Wroggi possesses limited attacks in its arsenal which range from Poison Breath to Side Slam. In short, it possesses a total of 3 main attacks that can be really effective when landed on its opponent.

These are the Great Wroggi’s Attack Patterns in MH Rise:

  • Poison Breath: Breathes poison into the area where its opponent is standing which causes a portion of the area to be covered with purple mist.
  • Agile Hunter: Despite its large appearance, it can leap in the air at an impressive height while knocking an opponent away with its 180-degree tail attack.
  • Side Slam: Mostly used as a close-range attack. Great Wroggi dashes towards the opponent, striking it with its side dealing a good amount of damage.

How to Defeat Great Wroggi in Monster Hunter Rise

The Great Wroggi’s weak point is his head; you should focus on attacking there while leaving the smaller Wroggis for your pets. While attacking it, make sure to watch out for its deadly attacks.

The Great Wroggi use a poison attack on the hunters, which is purple color toxic mist. The mist only remains for a couple of seconds so stay away from it. Avoid the poisonous mist and attack him as much as you can.

Use an Antidote

You would want to take some antidotes with you to this fight in case the poison hits you. It really takes down your health very quickly. Let your pets distract the wroggi when you want to take the antidote. After you are cured, continue your assault.

Ride your Palamute

At a certain point, the Great Wroggi might want to escape; this is when you can ride your Palamute and follow him. You can collect different items along the way.

Finishing off the Great Wroggi

By this time, the Great Wroggi will be near its end. Attack it continuously along with your pets and finish him.

After that, you can collect different body parts from the Great Wroggi like Wroggi Brace. You can now return to the village after defeating the Great Wroggi.
