Boss Fight Phases:

1. Tracking: Find clues to locate the boss lair.
2. Engagement: Fight the boss, using its weaknesses to your advantage. Watch out for its attacks and any adds it might summon.

Strategy:

• Know Your Enemy: Each boss has unique attacks and weaknesses. Learn them!
• Gear Up: Bring weapons and tools that exploit the boss's weaknesses. Fire ammo is great for the Butcher and Spider, for example.
• Listen: Sound is crucial in Hunt. Listen for the boss's roars and the sounds of other hunters.
• Teamwork: If you're playing with a team, coordinate your attacks and cover each other.
• Be Patient: Don't rush in blindly. Wait for openings and manage your resources.
• Watch Your Back: The bounty attracts attention. Be ready for other hunters to show up during the banishment or extraction.
