Break the Chest
Breaking Gravios' chests creates a major weak point. Sneak under its feet and focus your attack on its chest. In the past games, Cross Series
, it was possible to quickly destroy the chest while Hunter is mounted on Gravios' back.
Focus on Part Breaks by using Traps
It is an effective strategy to attack Gravios in the chest while it's trapped in a Shock Trap or a Pitfall Trap. Gravios is strong so it is recommended to capture it if it's weakened and avoid prolonged battles.
Aggressively aim to Focus Strike
Gravios has a very strong armor and low sharpness weapons will likely bounce off its different parts. Sharpness of weapons should at least be blue gauge. The Mind's Eye skill would be great for this if it is in the game.

2 | Look out for gas after Heat Rays |
3 | Aggressively aim to Focus Strike |
Beware of Attacks near legs
You will often have to stay near Gravios' legs as you try to break Gravios' chest. The monster has an abundance of attacks focused on the feet. All of them have windups so you can time dodges and blocks in time.
Look out for gas after Heat Rays
Gravios' iconic heat ray attack gives you the perfect chance to attack its chest. You can see it show a different movement after using the Heat Rays when it uses the Gas attack so always observe its movements.
Aggressively aim to Focus Strike
Gravios is a slow monster so it should be easier to wound than other monsters, giving you more chances to Focus Strike it. Even if you are unfamiliar with Focus Strike, try to practice it to deal more damage.
