Defeat Mizutsune in Monster Hunter Rise

AntMag.NET

Alright, hunter! So you've reached 5-star Village Quests and are ready to take on 'Waltzing by Moonlight.' This quest is all about taking down the Leviathan monster, Mizutsune. It's a pretty cool fight, but you'll want to be prepared. You've got 50 minutes to get it done in the Flooded Forest, and the reward is a nice 4500z.

Before you even head out, make sure you've chowed down on some Bunny Dango for those helpful buffs. As for your weapon, Mizutsune is really weak to Dragon and Thunder elements, so bring something that packs that punch. If you're not sure where to find it, Mizutsune tends to hang out in Area 7 (60% chance), Area 4 (30% chance), or Area 2 (10% chance).

Walkthrough

1
Head to Area 8 or 7 in the Flooded Forest. This is where you'll likely find Mizutsune.
2
When you spot Mizutsune, be ready! It's known for its water-based attacks, including spraying water in a straight line right in front of it. Keep your distance or dodge effectively to avoid taking heavy damage.
3
Also, watch out for its bubbles! These can be tricky and might hinder your movement or set you up for an attack.

Tips
