Attack Patterns & Strategies:
The Great Izuchi is your first large monster and serves as a good introduction to monster hunting. It's relatively slow and its attacks are well-telegraphed.
- Tail Swipe: Its most common attack. It will often do a double tail swipe. Dodge through or away from it.
- Pounce: It will jump forward and try to pounce on you. This is a good opening for a counter-attack if you dodge correctly.
- Minion Call: It frequently calls smaller Izuchi to assist. Prioritize taking out these smaller monsters as they can be annoying and interrupt your attacks.
- Wirebug Counter: Use your Wirebug to quickly reposition or escape its tail swipes.
- Weak Points: Focus on its head for stun damage (blunt weapons) and its tail. Severing the tail will reduce its reach.
Recommended Gear:
- Any basic weapon with decent sharpness.
- Kamura or Izuchi armor for early defense and Attack Boost.
