Where to Find Iodrome:

Iodrome's Attacks: What to Watch Out For

Iodrome has a few tricks up its sleeve:

• Bite: It'll try to bite you, and while it can't attack to the side like Great Jaggi, it moves around a lot, making it tricky to pin down.
• Pin Attack: This is a rough one. Iodrome will jump right on top of you, pin you down, and start chomping away. Try to break free quickly!
• Jump: It can also just jump on you and send you flying. Be ready to dodge!
• Poison Spit: This is super important to watch out for. Iodrome spits poison, and it creates these large pools on the ground that stick around for a while. If you step in one, you'll get poisoned even if Iodrome isn't there anymore. Be super careful where you're standing!
• Minion Making: Just like other 'dromes, Iodrome loves to call in its buddies, the Ioprey. If you get swarmed by a bunch of them, especially if they're spitting poison, things can get really dangerous fast. Keep an eye on them and deal with them if they become a problem.

Breakable Parts: Aim for the Head!

You can break Iodrome's Crest. When it's broken, you'll see it's damaged and has bits missing.

Iodrome's Weaknesses: Exploit Them!

• Elemental: It's weak to Thunder and Water attacks.
• Status: It's also susceptible to Blast damage.
