    Recognize and counter Tigrex's attacks:

    Ruthless Charge: Tigrex charges up to three times consecutively. Be prepared for repeated charges.
  11. 11
    Double Bite: A weaker attack where Tigrex bites left and right.
  12. 12
    360 Spin: Tigrex spins rapidly, moving slightly forward. Dodge perpendicularly to escape its range.
  13. 13
    Forward Chomp: Tigrex leans back and chomps forward, with a wide hitbox that can hit hunters near its legs.
  14. 14
    Pounce: A fast, flailing jump attack that can occur suddenly.
  15. 15
    Deafening Roar: Performed when enraged. Causes hunters close by without earplugs to be knocked back and take moderate damage. High-Grade Earplugs negate this.
  16. 16
    Boulder Hurl: Tigrex flings three rocks in a spread shot using its forearm talons.
  17. 17
    Target breakable parts:
  18. 18
    Head: Breaking the head will result in a scar appearing.
  19. 19
    Wings: Each wing can be broken independently.
  20. 20
    Tail: The tail can be severed and carved for materials.
Tips
  • When facing the 360 Spin, run away from Tigrex in a perpendicular line to maximize distance.
  • Equip High-Grade Earplugs to completely nullify the Deafening Roar attack.
