Arzuros Attack Patterns
Learning the attack patterns of the Arzuros is very crucial before going ahead and fighting it. The Arzuros will perform the following attacks during your battle.
- Triple Claw Swipes: Arzuros will raise itself to a bipedal stance by standing on its hind legs. It will then use a brutal swinging motion to swipe the ground right in front of it. It’s simple to avoid this attack since it’s steady and slow, and it’s also quite plain to see.
- Cross Claws Strike: The Arzuros rises on its hind legs and dives for the hunter. It will then use both of its claws in a swipe strike, meeting in the centre. You can roll backward if you are quick enough, as this attack only works within a specific range.
- Charging Bear: Arzuros will charge at the hunter and run him down mercilessly. Arzuros moves in a single direction before changing course to follow the hunter, making it very easy to dodge. Even if it strikes the hunter, it will keep charging until it runs out of energy. You can also stun the Arzuros in the middle of their assault using a Flash Bomb.
- Hug and Toss: The Arzuros pins the hunter down with its body before grabbing them in a fatal bear embrace. Arzuros will hurl the hunter up in the air after shaking him like a rattle. Use the wirebug to flee, and if a fellow hunter is captured, assist him by stunning the monster in various ways (flash bombs, traps, etc.)
- Full-Body Slam: The Arzuros have made a rather difficult move. It has no visible indication of whether or not it will be employed, and it can be used to attack sideways. Stay alert to avoid being struck, since it will not only send you flying but also leave you shocked when you land.
How to Defeat Arzuros in Monster Hunter Rise?
Avoid Tackles
Arzuros’ tackle has a big hitbox, so use wirebugs to avoid it. This strong attack lacks refinement but compensates for it with pure force.
Take Advantage of the Rear Weakpoint
When Arzuros is hit from behind, he suffers a lot of damage. So, try and hit it there whenever you get the chance and maneuver yourself to be able to target it often. Watch out for Its full-body smash when targeting the weakpoint as it has no signs and can catch you unprepared.
Mountable State
When compared to other monsters, Arzuros appears to be more vulnerable to mounting. It enjoys interrupting the hunter if it is battling another huge monster, and it frequently instigates Turf Wars in the Shrine Ruins with other Large Monsters. Use this opportunity to improve your Wyvern Riding skills and do heavy damage to the monster you’re chasing.
Use Honey
Arzuros is a honey enthusiast. Honey can be used to escape the hunter’s grab assault, similar to how Dung Bombs can be used to avoid Deviljho’s Feast attack.
