Learn how to defeat Glavenus in Monster Hunter Generations. Discover its weaknesses, attack patterns, and strategies for this challenging Brute Wyvern.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Glavenus is the champion of the “elite four” of the flagship monsters in Monster Hunter Generations.
  2. 2
    Unlike other Brute Wyverns, Glavenus is fast and agile.
  3. 3
    Glavenus makes great use of its tail, making both its head and tail equally dangerous.
  4. 4
    When Glavenus’s tail lights up, it can be cut. This happens when Glavenus sharpens its tail or drags it across the ground to generate heat through friction.
  5. 5
    If Glavenus’s tail is cut, it will land pointy-tip in on the ground.
  6. 6
    When Glavenus’s tail hardens and cools off, it will turn a rusty black color, and you will have to wait for Glavenus to light it up again.
  7. 7
    Sometimes, Glavenus’s throat will turn a bright red. Attacking it while its throat is heated up enough will cause it to flinch and drop a shiny.
  8. 8
    The shiny dropped from an overheated throat will usually be the Flaming Bursa (in Low Rank) or Solar Bursa (in High Rank).
  9. 9
    Glavenus is weakest to Water and then Dragon.
  10. 10
    Attacks:
    • Side Chomp: Glavenus lunges forward and bites, sometimes with fire. When enraged, it might perform this twice quickly.
  11. 11
    Tail Fling: Glavenus leaps into the air and slams its tail, with enormous range and significant movement. In rage mode, this is performed twice.
  12. 12
    Fireball: Glavenus breathes fire in front of it.
  13. 13
    180 Tailspin: Glavenus does a half-revolution, whipping its tail. This causes Fireblight if its tail is alit.
  14. 14
    Tail Sharpen: Glavenus runs its tail through its mouth, then does a wide-range 360 spin that sends fire everywhere. Stay far away or position yourself underneath Glavenus’s belly or between its legs.
  15. 15
    Pounce: Glavenus sometimes leaps forward and bites.
