Uragaan

Learn how to defeat Uragaan in Monster Hunter Generations! Discover its weaknesses, attack patterns, and strategies to take down this Brute Wyvern.

Alright, let's talk about Uragaan. This big Brute Wyvern, first seen in Tri, is pretty unique. It's got this massive chin it loves to slam down, and it often has ores and rocks stuck to its body. The really wild thing is its tail – it can coil up and roll around like a giant, spiky tire. Seriously, it's like a runaway boulder with a grudge!

You'll mostly find Uragaan hanging out in the Volcano and Volcanic Hollow areas. It likes to roam around zones 3, 4, 5, 7 in the Volcano and 4, 6, 8 in the Volcanic Hollow, often starting in zone 6 of the Volcano or zone 3 of the Volcanic Hollow, and taking breaks in zone 6 of the Volcano or zone 9 of the Volcanic Hollow.

Stats / Weaknesses

• Weaknesses: Water (primary), Dragon (secondary)

Phases

1. Initial Encounter: Uragaan will likely start by using its chin to smash the ground or its wide side chomp. Pay attention to its positioning; sometimes it can dramatically shift angles between its chin slams.
2. Rolling Attacks: Be ready for Uragaan to coil up and roll towards you. It has a standard forward roll and a more unpredictable 'Forward Spinny Roll' where it changes directions. These can crush you easily.
3. Environmental Hazards: Watch out for the molten rocks Uragaan can eject. If it attacks near these rocks, they'll explode, potentially hitting you from a distance.
4. Gas Attacks: Uragaan can also release gas. A pale blue gas means it's a sleeping gas, so get away quickly! A bright orange gas will inflict Fireblight.

Strategy

• Mind the Chin and Tail: Uragaan's chin slams have a surprisingly wide range, and its tail has a long reach, especially during its 360 Tailswing. Staying close to its legs can sometimes be safer for the tailswing, but be aware of its other attacks.
• Mine its Back: If you manage to tip Uragaan over, its back becomes a mineable spot! This is a great opportunity to get some extra materials.
• Exploit Weaknesses: Remember, Uragaan is most vulnerable to Water and Dragon element attacks. Gear up accordingly!
• Watch for Eruptions: When it ejects rocks, be mindful of where they land. They can turn into explosive hazards if Uragaan attacks near them.
• Breakable Parts: You can break its Chin, Back, and Tail. Breaking the tail might give you better rewards.
