Walkthrough
- 1Ukanlos operates similarly to Akantor, acting as a slow, hulking wyvern.
- 2Be aware of its powerful attacks, including ice breath and a damaging sonic roar.
- 3For melee users, staying behind its hind legs and targeting the tail is safest.
- 4Gunners should avoid facing Ukanlos head-on.
Tips
- Ukanlos's attacks are primarily directed forward, making its rear the safest zone for melee fighters.
- When Ukanlos performs a Running Charge, its entire body is a hitbox except for the tail. Stay away or target the tail.
- During a Jump Charge, avoid being where Ukanlos lands, as both the liftoff and landing can cause damage.
- The Tail Swing is slower than a double 180 tail swing, done once, and has a wide range, causing Iceblight if it hits.
- For the Show Shovel attack, Ukanlos digs its jaw into the ice and jerks its head up, sending ice chunks flying. It can perform this to the front or side.
- The Sonic Roar requires you to get away or use high-grade earplugs to nullify the damage. Ukanlos uses this often.
- The Belly Flop causes tremors in a wide area; the farther away you are, the shorter the tremor's duration.
- For the highly precise and potentially multi-hitting Swimming Charge, which can deplete stamina with shields, run at a 45-degree angle towards Ukanlos, then in a tight circle. Barely toe the edge of its hitbox while running towards it, then circle back. Ukanlos can make 90-degree turns. Prepare with potions and Nulberries. Mega Dash Juices are recommended.
- Permafrost involves Ukanlos spitting an ice laser with ice chunks flying around its body. It has three variations: front-facing, left-to-right sweep, and up-to-down sweep. The tail is safe from the up-to-down variant due to Ukanlos's length. The sweeping variant has a wide angle.
- Tail: Can be severed and carved twice.
- Front Leg: Each leg can be broken once, chipping the claws.
- Head: Can be broken twice; must be broken twice for rewards.
- Back: Back fins are visibly chipped.
