Plesioth

Learn how to effectively hunt the Plesioth in Monster Hunter Generations. Discover its weaknesses, attack patterns, and strategies to overcome this Piscine Wyvern.

Alright, let's talk about Plesioth. This guy is one of the Piscine Wyverns, and honestly, he's a bit of a meme in the community for how derpy he can be. He loves to hang out in the water, which can be super annoying in this game since we can't actually fight him *in* the water. If you're in Misty Peaks and he's in the water, he'll be out of your reach. Your best bet is to use frogs from nearby fishing spots to lure him out, but if you didn't bring any or he spots you first, you're kinda out of luck.

Like some other wyverns, Plesioth's hitboxes can be a bit wonky, meaning the attack might look like it misses but still hits you. This is even more noticeable because he's the biggest of the three Piscine Wyverns. He's most vulnerable to Thunder and Fire attacks, so make sure you're packing the right gear.

Plesioth's Attacks

Here's a rundown of what Plesioth can throw at you:

• Side Chomp: A quick bite that can knock you down and even put you to sleep. Watch out for this one!
• Double 180 Tail Swing: He'll swing his tail around twice in a full circle. The hitbox is super weird, so you might get hit even if it looks like the tail isn't close.
• Hip Check: Plesioth lunges his body sideways. This one has a really strange hitbox; it can hit you even if you're near his head on the opposite side. He can also wind up for a more powerful version.
• Water Dive: He'll hop back into the water and just chill. Annoying, but you just have to wait him out.
• Ground Wriggle: He'll charge at you, belly-flopping and wriggling along the ground.
• Water Laser: This is a nasty one. He spits out a thin but powerful water beam with a huge range. Sometimes he'll sweep it up and down, and in his rage mode, he'll sweep it side to side. He can even do this from the water by popping his head up.
• Chicken Run: He stands up, spreads his wings, and does this funny waddle-run. It's mostly just derpy and cute, but it usually means he's about to change areas or go back into the water.
