Learn how to prepare for and defeat the Great Izuchi in Monster Hunter Rise. This guide covers essential items, gear upgrades, canteen buffs, and combat strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Preparation: Ensure your item pouch has Potions, Mega Potions, Rations, and Well-done Steak. Upgrade weapons and armor using Ore and Earth Crystals if possible. Eat Bunny Dango at the canteen for Health and Stamina boosts.
- 2Quest Start: Accept the quest from Hinoa. Depart and collect free items from the supply box at the base camp (it's nighttime). Grab EZ Rations to replenish stamina, using the Radial Menu (Hold L, Right Stick diagonally up-right) if needed.
- 3Locate Great Izuchi: The monster usually starts in Area 8, sometimes Area 4 or 9. If in Area 8, it moves clockwise; intercept it by heading from Area 7 towards Area 8, passing through Areas 1, 3, and possibly 4.
- 4Combat Strategy: For novices, attack only when safe and dodge away. Exploit openings after attacks like the tail slam or triple tail spin. Monitor health and use Potions when below half. Use the Whetstone (Radial Menu: Hold L, Right Stick Up) to maintain weapon sharpness.
- 5Pursuit and Carving: When Great Izuchi flees (usually clockwise), use your Palamute (Hold A) to chase it. Replenish health/stamina and sharpen your weapon while riding. Continue attacking until it's defeated. Carve materials from the fallen monster (Press A).
Tips
- Collect freebies from the supply box at the start.
- Grab Endemic Life, Herbs, or anything useful along the way.
- Use the Radial Menu for quick item access (rations, whetstone).
- Ride your Palamute to chase the monster and manage resources on the go.
- Focus on breaking the tail or capturing the monster for better material farming if you are an expert or repeating the quest.
