Chemicus Nocturnus - Rompopolo Strategy
| Prep | Bring Antidotes or Herbal Medicine |
|---|---|
| 1 | Attack to Deflate Its Gas Sac |
| 2 | Focus Strike Its Tongue Before or After Poison Spit |
| 3 | Counter Tail Thrust With Evade or Breaking Wounds |
Bring Antidotes or Herbal Medicine
Certain attacks from Rompopolo in Monster Hunter Wilds inflict the Poison status. To minimize downtime and maintain combat efficiency, prepare Antidotes or Herbal Medicine beforehand to recover quickly when afflicted.
Attack to Deflate Its Gas Sac
Rompopolo's head and tail inflate like balloons, enabling it to unleash disruptive Poison and gas-based attacks. Accumulating enough damage to it causes the gas sacs to shrink, triggering a knockdown and weakening its movements. While it's inflated, stay aggressive and aim to force a deflation to gain the upper hand.
Focus Strike Its Tongue Before or After Poison Spit
Rompopolo exposes its weak point, the head, when preparing to spit Poison. Take this opportunity to land a Focus Strike from the side of its face. This can interrupt the attack and trigger a knockdown, opening a window for further damage.
Counter Tail Thrust With Evade or Breaking Wounds
Rompopolo's tail thrusts into the ground beneath its body and triggers a wide-area explosion that can be difficult to evade. In many cases, standard dodging isn't enough. Using an emergency evade, guarding, or, if wounds are present, interrupting the move with a Focus Strike to break the wounds is especially effective at stopping its action.
