Red Khezu

Learn Red Khezu's weaknesses, attacks, and strategies in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Master its electric assaults and breakable parts to hunt this formidable subspecies.

Alright, let's talk about the Red Khezu. This guy's a subspecies of the regular Khezu, and honestly, it doesn't even try to hide its aggression. Its blood-red hide is a clear sign of its increased power and its mastery over lightning. It's fast, tough, and definitely not a monster to take lightly. You'll need to tread carefully here.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Elemental: Water
• Status: Blast

Areas:

Attacks:

• Thunder Bomb: Red Khezu spits out a thunderball, then hops back. This ball lingers for a bit before exploding in a wide area, and it'll inflict paralysis if you get caught.
• Charging Walk: It'll sniff around while charging up electricity. This attack itself does minor damage and sends you flying, but it often ends with a short charge or pounce where it discharges all that stored electricity at once.

Phases:

1. Enraged Mode: When Red Khezu gets enraged, prepare for a constant barrage of thunder attacks. It can almost double its speed during this phase, making it incredibly difficult to even get a hit in. Don't feel bad if you're struggling to find an opening.

Strategy:

• Red Khezu shares all its breakable parts with the regular Khezu. Go for those if you need specific materials.
• When it's enraged, its speed increase is no joke. Try to focus on dodging its lightning attacks and look for openings after its bigger assaults, like the Thunder Bomb or the end of its Charging Walk.
• Water element weapons are your best bet against this monster, and Blast status can also be effective.
• Keep an eye on its location in the Sunken Hollow or Frozen Seaway. Knowing where it likes to start, roam, and rest can help you track it down more efficiently.
