Walkthrough

1
The fight against Dalamandur is divided into two stages, with the second stage initiating upon sufficient damage, leading to increased aggression.
2
Focus attacks on Dalamandur's claws, as they are a safe zone and do not cause bounces even with yellow sharpness.
3
Alternatively, target the tip of Dalamandur's tail; if it flinches, attack its head to break it twice.
4
If your attacks are bouncing, find a different part of Dalamandur to hit.
5
Dalamandur moves and slithers frequently to disorient players; use free camera rotation (right c-stick/nub) over L-targeting due to its immense size.
6
Prioritize attacking the head, as most of Dalamandur's attacks originate from there.
7
Only focus on the tail if your objective is to break it.
8
When Dalamandur begins its Heavenly Climb, use this opportunity to climb its body to its shoulders or ascend to the top by jumping from its body to an ivy-covered wall and then to its head.
9
Once on Dalamandur's back, set bombs and ready weapons to break its back.
10
This climbing phase also offers a brief respite to heal.
11
When enraged, Dalamandur's chest emits an aura that drains health; exercise caution when attacking this area.
12
As Dalamandur nears death, its chest will glow progressively brighter.
13
Upon defeating Dalamandur, there are two carving points: the chest and the tail. Due to the time limit, Speed Gathering is recommended to carve all possible items.

Tips

Take Anti-Dragon Bombs from base camp, as they deal significant damage and can be used to break parts or flinch Dalamandur when placed on its back or head.
If using the Insect Glaive, you can pole vault onto Dalamandur's head. Otherwise, climb its body, jump to a wall, ascend, and then jump to its head. Attacking its shoulder blades is another option.
Dalamandur's tongue can paralyze; avoid getting too close to it.
When Dalamandur performs a Biting Charge, climb the mountain's side for safety or run away.
During a Claw Swipe, run in the direction opposite to the sweep if possible.
When Dalamandur whips its tail, be aware of the spikes and the clip damage from its rapid movement.
To break Dalamandur's back twice, use Anti-Dragon Bombs.
The head can be broken twice: first the spines, then a scar appears over an eye.
Front leg talons can be broken, appearing chipped.
The chest can be broken twice: the giant spike disappears, and chest cracks glow brighter and spread.
The tail tip can be severed and carved.
Dalamandur's elemental weakness is Dragon.
During the Celestial Vortex attack, dive through the vortex to survive, or position yourself underneath Dalamandur attacking its claws.
