Stay Out of the Flash Attack
The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku has a flash attack that has a long and wide range. However, since it has a long telegraph, you will have enough time to get behind the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku before it unleashes the flash attack!
Focus On The Head
The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's only weak spot is its head. Focus your attacks on the monster's head in order to immediately break it. Once the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's head is broken, it will not be able to do its flash attack!
Utilize The Traps In Area 4
Area 4 has numerous platform traps that will lock the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku in place for a brief amount of time. Look for the bouncy platforms in area 4, and stagger the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku on top of them to trap it!

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku - Moves & Counters
| Moves | Counter |
|---|---|
| Scratch Attack | Rushes forward, and swipes its forelimbs. Dodge to the side to avoid. |
| Leaping Attack | Jumps forward, and uses its hindlegs to kick at whatever is in front. This attack has a long range but it can be avoided by dodging to the side. |
| Flash Attack | Attack that stuns anything that is within the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's line of sight. It has a long telegraph so you can get behind the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku before it flashes. |
Multiple Scratch Attacks Can Be Done
When evading the scratch attack, pause a few moments before closing in on the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. There are times when the monster does 2 of these attacks in quick succession so you might take a hit if you immediately go near it.
