Recommended Strategy:

When tackling the Zinogre, it is recommended to stay close to its back and deal damage quickly. You will need to watch out for its claws, but by moving away from its back every few hits, you can avoid its charges and swipes. Staying close also minimizes the risk of the Zinogre reaching full charge. Keep an eye on it when it becomes enraged, as this is when it uses thunder attacks, requiring a more evasive stance.
