Gammoth

Learn Gammoth's weaknesses, attacks, and breakable parts to take down this massive Fanged Beast in Monster Hunter Generations. Fire and Thunder are key!

Alright, let's talk about Gammoth! This absolute unit is the biggest Fanged Beast you'll face in Monster Hunter Generations, basically a giant, angry mammoth. Don't let its size fool you; it's surprisingly agile with its trunk, spitting ice and snow, and using its massive body to flatten anything in its path. Fun fact: all the Gammoth you'll fight are actually female! Makes you wonder how huge a male would be, right?

Be warned, fighting something this colossal can mess with your camera. Sometimes the lock-on can make things clip or overlap, and just keeping track of Gammoth as it moves and rears up can be a challenge. Just try your best to keep it centered and don't get too frustrated!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weaknesses: Fire, Thunder

Attacks:

• Trunk Throw: Gammoth slams its trunk on the ground in front of it.
• Rearing Smash: It rears up and slams its full weight down, causing massive tremors.
• Back Kick: If you're behind it, Gammoth might kick. If its legs are covered in snow, this attack can turn you into a Snowman!
• Trunk Whip: Gammoth swings its trunk around to hit you.
• Snow Spit: It breathes in snow and then spits a stream of it at you.

Breakable Parts:

• Head (can be broken twice)
• Trunk
• Front Legs (both)
• Hind Legs (both)

Strategy:

• Focus on hitting Gammoth with Fire or Thunder attacks to exploit its weaknesses.
• When Gammoth uses its Trunk Throw, stay clear of the area directly in front of it.
• Dodge away when Gammoth rears up for the Rearing Smash to avoid the ground impact and tremors.
• If you find yourself behind Gammoth, be ready to dodge its Back Kick. Pay attention to its legs – if they're covered in snow, getting hit means you'll become a Snowman, which really slows you down.
• Keep an eye on its trunk for the Trunk Whip attack and dodge accordingly.
• When it spits snow, try to move out of the stream's path.
• Breaking its legs is key! Shaving off the snow isn't a break, but keep hitting those legs to break the armor. Once the armor is broken, its legs can't be coated in snow anymore, meaning no more Snowman status from kicks!

Areas:

• Artic Ridge: Starts in Area 8, Roams Areas 6 and 8, Rests in Area 7.
• Frozen Seaway: Starts in Area 3, Roams Areas 6, 7, and 9, Rests in Area 5.
