Brachydios: Brute Wyverns 2

Learn Brachydios's weaknesses, attacks, and strategies in Monster Hunter Generations. Master the Brute Wyvern's slime and explosive power to hunt it effectively.

Alright, let's talk about the Brachydios! This thing is a real handful, especially with its slime attacks. You'll find it in a few different spots, so knowing where it likes to hang out is key. It hangs out in the Deserted Island (Areas 5, 2, and 6), the Volcano (Areas 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8), and the Volcanic Hollow (Areas 2, 6, 8, and 9). Keep an eye on those areas when you're out on a hunt!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakest to: Water

Phases:

1. Normal State: Brachydios uses its slime attacks, leaving puddles that can inflict Blastblight.
2. Rage Mode: Slime puddles explode instantly, and it gains new, more dangerous attacks like the Mass Explosion.

Strategy:

• Blastblight: If Brachydios coats you in its slime, you'll get Blastblight. If you get hit again while afflicted, it explodes for extra damage! Roll around to get the slime off quickly.
• Slime Puddles: Be careful where you step! Brachydios leaves slime puddles on the ground that can inflict Blastblight. In rage mode, these puddles explode immediately, so you need to be extra cautious.
• Licking Forearms: Brachydios's slime isn't infinite. It will periodically lick its forearms to replenish the slime, leaving it open for you to attack. Breaking its arms speeds up slime depletion.
• Breakable Parts: You can break its Horn, Arms, and Tail. Breaking the arms helps deplete its slime faster.
• Water Element: Bring weapons with the Water element, as Brachydios is most vulnerable to it.

Attacks to Watch Out For:

• Swiping Punch: A quick punch that can inflict Blastblight and knock you down.
• Single Punch: Punches the ground, sometimes chaining into other attacks. Leaves a slime puddle.
• Chain Punch: Charges forward, punching the ground as it moves, leaving a trail of slime puddles.
• Double 180 Tailswing: A surprisingly wide tail whip. Keep an eye out for the tell.
• Horn Smash: Drives its horn into the ground. If enraged, it causes a line of explosions forward. Avoid being in front of it!
• Mass Explosion (Rage Mode): It slams its horn down, causing multiple areas on the ground to light up and explode. Stay clear!
• Leaping Punch: A dangerous, often unannounced leap attack where it slams its fists down. Can deal massive damage if you're too close.
