Zamtrios Attacks & How to Deal With Them

Zamtrios has a few key attacks you need to be aware of:

• Ice Breath: It can spew a cone of ice in front of it. This inflicts Iceblight, which slows your stamina recovery. Get out of the way quickly! If you do get hit, use a Nullberry to clear it up.
• Body Slam/Charge: When inflated, Zamtrios becomes much more dangerous. It can charge forward or slam its body down. These attacks have wide hitboxes, so dodging is key. Its inflated state also makes it slippery, so be careful not to get knocked around too much.
• Tail Swipe: A standard tail whip that can catch you if you're too close behind it.
• Leaping Bite: It can leap forward and try to bite you. Keep your distance when it telegraphs this.

Hunting Strategy

Here’s how to approach the Zamtrios fight:

1. Exploit Elemental Weaknesses: Bring Fire or Thunder element weapons. These will significantly speed up your hunt.
2. Target the Head and Legs: The head is its main weak spot for damage. Attacking its legs can also trip it, giving you a good opening.
3. Watch for Inflation: When Zamtrios starts to inflate, it's about to unleash its more powerful, area-of-effect attacks. Be ready to dodge or reposition. If you're using a weapon that can deal with its slippery body, like a slower, heavy-hitting weapon, be patient and wait for openings.
4. Manage Iceblight: Keep Nullberries on hand. Iceblight can really slow you down, and you don't want that when facing an aggressive monster.
5. Be Patient: Don't get greedy with your attacks, especially when it's inflated. Wait for clear openings after its big attacks to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
