Strategy

Nergigante is the first Elder Dragon and a true test of skill. Its primary mechanic involves growing spikes. White spikes are soft and break easily, dealing damage and preventing its devastating dive bomb. Black spikes are hardened and deflect attacks. Focus on breaking white spikes as quickly as possible. When it roars and flies up, prepare to dodge its dive bomb. Bring plenty of healing items and learn its attack patterns. Thunder weapons are highly recommended.
